Bumblebee (Transformers)

Bumblebee is one of the deuteragonists of the Transformers film series (alongside Mikaela Banes, Carly Brooks-Spencer, Viviane Wembly and Tessa Yeager) and the titular protagonist of the spin-off film, of the same name. In recent years, Bumblebee communicates to his friends through his radio transmissions after losing the ability to speak, courtesy of damage done by the Decepticon Blitzwing. Bumbelebee becomes best friends with several humans, with it being Sam Witwicky and Charlie Watson in the Cinematic Universe and Spike Witwicky in the original comics. He is one of the most loyal followers of Optimus Prime, having viewed him as a son. Despite being regarded by others as the weakest of the Autobots, he is actually one of the strongest, metaphorically speaking.

History
According to Optimus Prime, he served as the foster parent Bumblebee, training and raising him from a young age.

Powers and Abilities

 * Car Transformation: When on Earth, Bumblebee can transform into a Volkswagen Beetle and later, a Chevrolet Camaro at will.
 * Radio Communication: Because his vocal box was severely damaged during the war with Cybertron, Bumblebee is forced to communicate through his radio. This allows his friends to understand what he is saying.
