Trivia
Charlie is the first human protagonist of a live-action Transformers film to be a female, as her predecessors, Sam Witwicky and Cade Yeager , were males.
Unlike the other human leads, Charlie never interacts with other Autobots other than Bumblebee. However, Optimus is aware of her existence.
Charlie also has some similarities with several characters:
Like Buster Witwicky , Charlie finds Bumblebee and takes him to her garage. The difference is Charlie is unaware that Bumblebee is anthropomorphic and she fixes the car herself, while in the comics, buster had to convince his father to work on Bee himself.
Like Mikaela Banes , Charlie was a skilled auto-mechanic. However, Charlie's film focuses more on her skill in car mechanics than while the original Transformers film briefly touches on Mikaela's.
Like Sam Witwicky , both he and Charlie are outsiders with few friends, and aren't very popular. They have Bee as a car before learning he was an Autobot, become the first humans Bumblebee befriended and oppose Sector Seven. Unlike him, Charlie is a mechanic and shares a deuteragonist role while Sam is the central protagonist of his films.
In the new canon, Charlie was the one to give Bumblebee his name, because his real name was B-127
