B-127, better known as Bumblebee or Badassatron, is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Elita-1) of the 2024 animated film Transformers One. He's a future member of the Autobots as well as the best friend and permanent sidekick of Orion Pax, later better known as Optimus Prime.
He was voiced by Keegan-Michael Key, who also voiced Toad in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, Murray in the Hotel Transylvania films, Dave in The Star, Judge Peckinpah in The Angry Birds Movie, Ducky in Toy Story 4, and Delroy in Migration, and portrayed Clarence Goobril in Keanu.

Transformers One[]
TBA
Appearance[]
Like most depictions of the character, Bumblebee is a large yellow robot who can take on the appearance of a car when he transforms. While definitely large, he's still a bit shorter compared to the other Cybertronians around him.
Personality[]
Bumblebee is an energetic, upbeat, friendly, but also immature and childish Cybertronian, enthusiastically greeting Optimus and Megatron when he initially met the two for the first time. He also has a habit of trying to make himself seem cool and edgy as he calls himself "Badassatron" on multiple occasions. Bee also appears to get extremely excitable when he discovers he can transform and summon weapons.

Trivia[]
- Bumblebee's voice actor Keegan-Michael Key has stated that he's a fan of the Transformers cartoon series.
- Whenever he said his self-proclaimed "BADASSATRON" name, his voice changed to be akin to the deeper vocal range used by Frank Welker when he voiced characters like Soundwave and Dr. Claw.
- The fact Bee is able to talk more frequently is a nod to how past versions of the characters in the live action films lack a voice due to him losing his voice box.
- Despite the name being used heavily in promotional material and merchandising, he is never actually referred to as Bumblebee in the film. In fact, in the end credits, he is only referred by his original name, B-127.
- Bee is the only one of the four main characters whose actor did not play any Marvel character: both Orion/Optimus and Elita's voice actors, Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson respectively, played Thor Odinson and Black Widow in the MCU, and D-16/Megatron's voice actor, Brian Tyree Henry, played Jefferson Morales from the Spider-Verse trilogy and Phastos from Eternals, which is also from the MCU as well.
- Bee is the only one of the four main characters to not be a leader.
- One of Bee’s model robots being called A-a-tron is likely a reference to a sketch Keegen-Michael Key performed in, in which he plays an inner city school teacher and incorrectly pronounces a student’s name, Aaron, as A-a-ron.
