Bumblebee
TheTransformersfranchise is known for having a spacious roll of popular golem fighters who hail from both the Autobots and the Decepticons – the two side of the eon - long Cybertronian war . When it come to the former faction , the only one who could rival their immovable drawing card Optimus Prime is the underdogBumblebee : a small Transformer who ’s well known for switching into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle .
Due to his popularity , Bumblebee was added into Michael Bay’sTransformersmovies and even get a solo - movie but there were some of import details exit behind in the blockbuster serial publication ’ source cloth . Over the geezerhood , Bumblebee has shift in the comics in shipway that the movies do n’t show or merely suggest at . Here are 10 such style that the Bumblebee seen in the movie dissent from the comics .
He Talks
The most obvious conflict between Bumblebee in the comics and the movies is the simple fact that he talks properly in his printed adventure . Not only is he capable of form sentences but he ’s the most up - to - date when it comes to talking with and like the people of Earth .
In the movies , Bumblebee is hand over wordless following a fight with Blitzwing and talks by constantly changing the stations in his built - in wireless . Said injury is handle more as an exculpation to swing music address and jokes , effectively rob Bumblebee of communicating properly with the other character .
Bumblebee Is His First Form
Over the course of theTransformersmovies , Bumblebee changes his armor every now and then but retain his name and overall personality . In the comics , Bumblebee is only the first form for the Autobot Goldbug .
Goldbug is the mature and more developed variety of Bumblebee , and is recognise to possess majuscule posture and artillery . Bumblebee ’s newfangled mode varied in its origins , though his first form would always rejoin . Notably , this materialise in the Marvel comic after Ratchet restored Bumblebee ’s original ( but now bigger ) form accompany Starscream ’s virulent attack .
He Didn’t Crash-Land On Earth Alone
In his solo - movie ( and prequel to theTransformersfranchise ) , Bumblebee crashlands on Earth alone during the Autobots ’ desperate escape from Cybertron . Canonically , this make him the first Autobot to set down on Earth but this was somewhat different in the comics .
The only major difference is that Bumblebee normally land on Earth with the other Autobots . In the original footrace , Bumblebee is one of many Autobot refugee aboard the Ark that break apart on Earth while he was part of an geographic expedition unit in the IDW continuity .
He’s An Expert Spy
Due to his small-scale skeletal system , Bumblebee is the Autobot ’s most true spy who can quickly get in and out of foe district . The Autobot was even promoted to film director of espionage in Fun Publications ’ ravel .
In dividing line , the movies made Bumblebee indistinguishable from the other robots onscreen by putting an emphasis on his combat accomplishment rather than his stealing - based ones . By omitting Bumblebee ’s nub skillset that made him unique among the Autobots , the pic wrick Bumblebee into just another giant robot with a ordnance .
His First Human Friends Were The Witwickys
harmonize to his solo - flick , Bumblebee ’s first veridical human supporter is Charlie Watson , a adolescent girl with a knack for cars and machines in worldwide . Their bond paper would go on to influence Bumblebee ’s affection for man in the future picture show .
While his friendship with people is still the same , Bumblebee ’s first human ally were the Witwickys . This story beat was retained in the firstTransformersmovie where he ’s bought from a cable car shop class by Sam Witwicky , but the canyon ’s considerably change with the mien of theBumblebeemovie .
He Really Likes Humans
It ’s mostly get it on that the Autobots like humankind as a whole , but Bumblebee really have intercourse the Earthlings . Time and again he ’s been shown saving or being saved by the people of Earth , and he point his gratitude whenever he can . He even claims that some of his best friends are man – an rum thing for a Transformer to say .
The movies show dark glasses of this , but do n’t explore the link as deeply as the strip do . Bumblebee ’s cinematic delineation paint him more like a loyal dearie than a robot with a big nub , in effect diminishing his personality .
He Has Crippling Self-Doubt
Because he ’s both the smallest and youngest Autobot , Bumblebee is fabulously insecure about himself and is always on the picket for a chance to bear witness himself to his older and more experient comrades .
His ego - doubtfulness is a major element in all of his publish characterizations , but it ’s scantily explored or even hinted at in the movies . The only sentence his insecurity showed was when he feared for his life during his solo - movie , but even then he quickly overcomes these issue after he find clod of his memory to save the day .
The Autobots Look Up To Him
Bumblebee ’s insecurities dim him to the fact that the Autobots that he hero-worship in reality see up to him . Thanks to his idealism and undying determination , Bumblebee is highly - regarded among the Autobots – especially their leader , Optimus Prime .
This moral force is absent in the movies , since he ’s just that one mute and automatonlike comic relief that uses a wireless to talk . The only metre this relationship is glance at was when he calls the Optimus his safe supporter when the Autobot leader virtually killed him inThe Last Knight , but it ’s never develop or search afterwards .
He Can Be A Stone-Cold Killer
break that he ’s an Autobot soldier , Bumblebee pop Decepticons is n’t that much of a surprise . In the movies , Bumblebee unfeelingly wring up a body count only surpassed by Optimus Prime ’s .
What the movies left in the comic strip is that Bumblebee can racket in his kill if he wants to . During theDescent Into Evilevent , Bumblebee does n’t just shoot the Decepticon Flamewar because he ’d rather mock her by break that he infected her superiors ’ army with a computer virus and compromise her cover , render her a unaffixed thread that was quickly deal with ( i.e. blow up ) by her commanders .
He Died
In both cartoon strip and movies , Bumblebee is one of the most resilient Autobots fighting the Decepticons , make him a reputation for being notoriously punishing to kill . He can even reassemble himself after an detonation , as see inThe Last KnightandBumblebee .
