Bumblebee
Presumably a former miner bot working inIacon,B-127 was sent into the deepest part of the city to watch trash burn. Trapped for a really long time, he has since made some questionable friends down there (don't tell him that they're never alive). Beside working on various names such asBadassatron (which will beBee orBumbleBee), he is naturally talkative,especially while unconscious, according toShockwave.
History[]
For as long as he can remember, B-127 worked in waste management on sublevel 50, deprived of anyone to talk to and left to his own devices. He created imaginary friends from the scrap metal he collected.
Everything changed for him the day two mining bots namedOrion Pax andD-16, what were thrown down to waste management byDarkwing. At first, he was shocked, but then became elated to see real people for the first time in years. While introducing them to their imaginary friends, Orion accidentally dismantles one of them, dropping a chip containing a distress message fromAlpha Trion along with their coordinates. B then agrees to join the two bots on their mission to the surface to search for theMatrix of Leadership, even showing them how to get out.
After an altercation withElita-1 and their arrival on the surface, B-127 becomes particularly enthusiastic about discovering new things, to the point that he starts talking throughout the entire trip. After escaping from aQuintesson ship, the group reaches the coordinates of the message and discovers a cave where the remains of theThirteen Primes are located, but the Matrix it's not here. Orion, however, discovers a survivor, Alpha Trion himself, who is reactivated thanks to B-127'sEnergon reserves. The latter reveals to the bots that everything they know aboutSentinel Prime having saved them from the Quintessons is a hoax: he had betrayed them and killed the Primes and negotiated with the Quintessons to take power, and that theirT-Cogs were ripped out at birth. Alpha Trion's words are confirmed when the group witnesses Sentinel Prime offering a huge supply of Energon to the Quintessons.
After giving them the transformation cogs of the fallen Primes, Trion told the four to leave while he held off Sentinel's trackers. Forced to adapt very quickly to their new cogs, the group fought through Sentinel's forces to make it back to Iacon city and reveal the truth. However, they were caught by the former CybertronHigh Guard. Shockwave uses the opportunity to gag B, who was speaking while unconscious, but he breaks free and reveals the identity of the High Guard. The leader,Starscream reveals that they defected from the ranks after learning of Sentinel's betrayal and seeing the fall of the Primes, and have sought to overthrow him ever since. While Orion attempts to negotiate, D-16 engages Starscream in a fight and defeats him, earning the respect of the High Guard. However, Sentinel forces led byAirachnid find them and attack them, taking B, D-16, and several Guard members to Sentinel's tower.
In the tower, Sentinel taunts his prisoners, but D-16 decides to confront him, refusing to remain on his knees despite B's pleas not to move or risk death. However, D-16 does not back down and rises again. As Sentinel was about to shoot him, he was interrupted by a siege led by Orion and Elita with the rest of the High Guard to save them. Freed, B-127 then discovers his new weapons and has fun cutting down Sentinel's drones. He is stopped by Orion who asks him to follow him to the broadcast room to reveal Sentinel's imposture through Airachnid's memories. Thus, the entire population of Iacon discovers the truth about Sentinel Prime and turns against him.
B and Elita watched in horror as D-16 turned on Orion, hurled him into Cybertron's core, executed Sentinel, and renamed himself "Megatron" to the cheers of the High Guard. Ordering Iacon's destruction, B and Elita attempted to stop him, but to no avail, as they were no match for his powerful new form. But then witnessed Orion's return, resurrected as Optimus Prime, and his victory over Megatron. After exiling Megatron and the High Guard from Iacon, Optimus, now the new ruler of Cybertron, offers B the chance to join him, which the young bot happily accepts and becomes third in command of the Autobots.
In the Credits, B went to see his old friends on sublevel 50 to share the tale of his adventure. After quickly putting Steve's head back on, B proceeded to show off his new knife hands, accidentally killing Steve (again) and A-A-Tron, to his horror.

Trivia[]
- The fact Bee doesn’t shut up is most likely why he will lose his voice box, as seen in Bumblebee and Bayverse films.
- This is one of iterations where bumblebee is either the same age or older than optimus prime
- this bumblebee like most characters is an amalgamation of his past iterations sharing small quality traits as his past selves for example:
- he's talkative likebumblebee intransformers animated
- he has a similar transformation sequence and can pull his mask down like hisbayverse counterpart
- he has energon daggers which are somewhat similar to his stinger intransformers cyberverse
Appearance[]
Like most depictions of the character, Bumblebee is a large yellow robot, with a helmet-like head that notably has two antenna-like flaps, hence his name. He also has the ability to transform into a vehicle resembling a yellow sports car with black stripes. While undoubtedly larger than humans thanks to being a Cybertronian, Bumblebee is noticeably smaller than most of his brethren.
