―Bumblebee to Optimus Prime

Bumblebee (formerly B-127) is one of the deuteragonists of the Transformers live-action film series, serving as the main protagonist of Transformers: Beginnings, one of the two deuteragonists of Transformers and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (alongside Mikaela Banes), Transformers: Dark of the Moon(alongside Carly Spencer), Transformers: Age of Extinction (alongside Tessa Yeager), and (alongside Viviane Wembly) of Transformers: The Last Knight. An alternate version of the character appears as the titular protagonist of the 2018 film Bumblebee.

He is one of the most loyal followers of Optimus Prime, having viewed him as a father figure, the best friend of Sam Witwicky, and is the guardian of the Witwicky and Yeager families. Despite being regarded by others as the weakest of the Autobots, Bumblebee is one of the best warriors of them all.

His communication vocals were damaged in battle, courtesy of damage done by Megatron. Instead, he communicates to his human friends through his radio transmissions after losing the ability to speak. Bumbelebee seems to have the strongest affinity with humans, becomes best friends with Sam Witwicky.
