History Characters / Bumblebee

* EvilSoundsDeep: In conjunction with GutturalGrowler below, his voice is fairly low-pitched.

* GutturalGrowler: He has a deep, gravelly voice.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Scourge bears some similarities to the ComicBook/SilverSurfer from Creator/MarvelComics. They are residents of a planet that their master targeted for consumption. But whereas Norrin Radd became Galactus' herald in exchange for his planet's salvation, Scourge sold out his planet to Unicron in exchange for becoming his herald for the sake of power. Silver Surfer underwent a HeelFaceTurn after being defeated and treated with kindness, leading him to stop Galactus from consuming Earth, whereas Scourge here remains irredeemably evil and loyal to Unicron to the bitter end, even going so far as to stop the heroes from averting Unicron's arrival even when it's guaranteed he's going to die.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: He only lasted two minutes without any characterization and immediately shot dead by Optimus.

* TemptingFate: Demands a real fight during the climactic battle.[[spoiler:Cue Battletrap immediately getting ripped apart in a 2-on-1 CurbstompBattle from both Optimuses.]]

* BattleTrophy: He has a hobby of stealing the faction insignias of every Transformer he kills and welding them to his own body. The insignias he's collected so far include Autobots, Maximals, Autobot Wreckers and the Elite Guard, Mercenaries, [[EvilVsEvil Decepticons, Predacons, and even other Terrorcons]]. He takes Apelinq's Maximal insignia after fatally wounding him and takes [[spoiler:Bumblebee's Autobot insignia after killing him. Optimus would reclaim the revived Bumblebee's insignia and return it to him after killing Scourge.]]

* BigGood: From how Burke describes them they seem to be this for the U.S. having watched Noah and Elena's adventures with the Autobots and not only have kept it secret but also make sure to pay for Noah's brother Chris health care for life as a way of thanking him for his part in saving the world. And they do this before it's even a guarantee that he will join them.

The Autobots are a band of freedom fighters on the losing side who are forced to abandon their home planet to seek refuge in the stars.

The leader of the Decepticons.

* TheBadGuyWins: As shown at the beginning of the film, the Autobots are losing the war on Cybertron and have to evacuate to Earth to regroup before fighting back. It would stand to reason that at the end of the film, Megatron has gained total control of Cybertron relishing the Autobots having fled to Earth.

A off the books government organization specializing in global threats.

* AmbiguousSituation: Which version of [[spoiler:G.I Joe]] this is. They have basically the same description to how they are described in [[spoiler:''Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins'']] but outside of that there's nothing to indicate if this is that same [[spoiler:G.I. Joe]] or one that is unique to this continuity. Burns also mentions they are in the middle of an ongoing war and while it's most likely a reference to [[spoiler:Cobra and their classic war with them we also don't get any specifics other then that they like Noah and the autobots help in fighting it.]]

!!Optimus Prime's 1994 crew

!!Team Prime

The 'good guys' in the civil war of Cybertron, the Autobots are a band of freedom fighters on the losing side who are forced to abandon their home planet to seek refuge in the stars.

* GoodIsNotSoft: The Autobots are generally well meaning and in Mirage and Bumblebees case very friendly towards other species such as humans but make no mistake they are well-trained soldiers and have no problem brutally putting down their enemies if deemed necessary.

The primary antagonists and 'bad guys' in the civil war for Cybertron, the Decepticons are a ruthless military force that forced the Autobots to flee Cybertron, and won't stop until they've hunted each one down and permanently destroyed what's left.

!!Optimus Prime's personal crew

* FamilyOfChoice: Cybertronians do not really have “blood relations” but it's shown that all of the Autobots are rather close and even have a somewhat sibling bickering relationship with each other, with Optimus acting as the father of the bunch. They all do not take Bumblebee's death well as Optimus becomes vengeful and determined to end Scourge for Bee.

* FamilyOfChoice: Cybertonians do not really have “blood relations” but it's shown that all of the Autobots are rather close and even have a somewhat sibling bickering relationship with each other with Optimus acting as the father of the bunch. They all do not take Bumblebee's death well as Optimus becomes vengeful and determined to end Scourge for Bee.

They all do not take Bumblebees death well with Optmius becoming determined to end Scourge for Bees death.

* TheCorrupter: Scourge can shoot probes at his enemies that will corrupt them into fellow servants of Unicron; [[spoiler:he uses one such weapon against Airazor, forcing Primal to kill her before she can kill Elena]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Dies via being shoved into lava before Optimus severs both his arms and rips out his head (with spine attached). Bastard had it coming though.]]

* GoodIsNotSoft: The Autobots are generally well meaning and in Mirage and Bumblebees case very friendly towards other species such as humans but make no mistake they are well-trained soldiers and have no problem brutally putting down their enemies if deemed necessary.

* FamilyOfChoice:

* ArmCannon: Notably a lacking feature this time, as besides Bumblebee (and Optimus in ''Rise of the Beasts'') they're all otherwise depicted with hand-held weaponry. Given their status as a resistance movement, it's likely that they simply weren't ''built'' for war, but were forced to take up arms anyway."Rise of The Beast" seems to correct this as Mirage, Wheeljack, and Arcee are all shown to be able to do this.
