Old-schoolers might remember Bumblebee in his Volkswagen incarnaton, but the 2007 movie sees him become a slick Chevy Camaro—though he retains his classic yellow and black colouring.

Youthful and idealistic, Bumblebee is nevertheless a highly valuable member of the Autobots faction. He might be small, but he more than makes up for through his incredible bravery and willingness to go places larger robots can’t or, sometimes, won’t. Capable of both aerial and underwater missions, he is more versatile than many other AUTOBOTS. His eagerness to do his part and serve boss Optimus Prime leads him to go above and beyond the call of duty, often placing him in grave danger. But with his impressive skills, he usually manages to come out on top.
