| NOTE: This article is about the Transformers: Earthspark incarnation of Bumblebee, for the other incarnations of the character, go to the disambiguation. |
Bumblebee is one of the main characters from the 2022 animated TV show, Transformers: EarthSpark. He is an Autobot scout who was believed to be dead and is assigned as the Terrans' mentor. He transforms into a sports car.
He is voiced by Danny Pudi, who also voiced Huey Duck in the 2017 DuckTales reboot series and Brainy Smurf in Smurfs: The Lost Village.
Story[]
Bumblebee fought alongside the Autobots in their war against the Decepticons, becoming a most reliable ally of Optimus Prime. While initially staying behind on Cybertron to hold the line, he ended up joining his allies on Earth, becoming one of many stranded there. Bumblebee played a vital role in the last battle of the war, in which he helped deliver the AllSpark relay-race style towards a Space bridge portal back to Cybertron to hopefully revitalize it and keep it out of Decepticon hands. After the war ended, he suddenly disappeared, with many believing he had perished. In truth, he had actually gone into hiding, with a select few being made aware of his location. He spent some time taking part in drag races at the Tagbilarian City airport in the Philippines and became familiar with the legend of the Wakwak.
Years later, Bumblebee's hiatus was bought to an end when Optimus came to him with a new mission. First, he aided in battling a group of Decepticons controlled by Mandroid, saving his biggest fan Alex Malto from the Insecticon Bombshell. Afterwards, Bumblebee was given his true assignment: mentoring the newly created Terrans Twitch and Thrash alongside the Malto family, much to Alex's joy (and Bumblebee's chagrin). That night he showed up to a Malto family cookout, beginning his stay with them.
Personality[]
Bumblebee has been unwaveringly loyal to Optimus Prime since the Autobots arrived from Cybertron back in the 1980s. Well-known for his daring skills and high-speed driving abilities, he unexpectedly vanished, going undercover for years at the behest of his commander. Now, in the modern day, he's returned with a new objective: teach the newest generation of Transformers, the Terrans, who have been adopted by the Malto family.
His reputation and experience has made Bumblebee somewhat ill-prepared to handle his new mentorship role. While at first his desire to go back to the Autobots as soon as possible might read like pure glory-seeking, he genuinely missed his friends while he was in hiding and is worried that the long time away from the action might have made him a less capable hero. But he has good intentions, and he's found a confidant in his self-proclaimed biggest fan, Alex Malto. Bumblebee may be the Terrans' teacher, but maybe the Maltos can teach him something about what's he's been missing for years: being part of a family.
