Bumblebee is one of the smallest Autobots, transforming into a compact yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Friendly, brave, and eager to prove himself, he often serves as a scout and messenger, slipping into places larger Autobots cannot. He forms a close bond with the human characters, especially Spike Witwicky, acting as a bridge between humanity and the Autobots. Though not the strongest fighter, Bumblebee’s courage, loyalty, and resourcefulness make him one of Optimus Prime’s most trusted allies.
