Roleplay/Writing Sample: N/ACharacter Name: Bumblebee
Allegiance: Autobot
Appearance Description:
Bumblebee is yellow with black highlights, and some parts of his frame have red and blue biolights. He is on the small side of average, with a well-armoured torso and broad doorwings. Built for dexterity and speed, his armour is quite light, which leaves much of his cabling and protoform exposed. His helmet is round and smooth, with a crest running down its middle. In the centre of his breastplate rests his Autobot insignia and, like most of his comrades, his optics are a light shade of blue. His alternate mode is a muscle luxury car.

- ᴄᴏᴜʀᴀɢᴇᴏᴜs
- sᴋɪʟғᴜʟ
- ᴄᴏɴғɪᴅᴇɴᴛ
- Sᴡɪғᴛ
- sᴛᴇᴀʟᴛʜʏ
- ᴘᴏsɪᴛɪᴠᴇ
- ᴇɴᴛʜᴜsɪᴀsᴛɪᴄ
- ᴅᴇᴛᴇʀᴍɪɴᴇᴅ
- ᴄᴏᴍᴍɪᴛᴛᴇᴅ
A ʟᴏʏᴀʟ mech, there is nothing Bumblebee does best than standing up for those he cares about. Millennia of war have taught him to be ᴄᴏᴜʀᴀɢᴇᴏᴜs and overcome whatever obstacles there may be in order to be right where his friends need him. Battle experience has made him more than a little sᴋɪʟғᴜʟ, and he has been known to surprise people in a pinch with his quick thinking. More often than not, he is ᴄᴏɴғɪᴅᴇɴᴛ that he has what is needed, and this shows in the way he tackles his missions: sᴡɪғᴛ and sᴛᴇᴀʟᴛʜʏ like few, he gives the best of him to reach his goals.
Despite everything that has happened to him along the years, Bumblebee keeps a ᴘᴏsɪᴛɪᴠᴇ outlook, always with a chipper comment at the ready. He is an ᴇɴᴛʜᴜsɪᴀsᴛɪᴄ mech and seems to have an infinite source of power from which he draws all his endless energy. His ᴅᴇᴛᴇʀᴍɪɴᴇᴅ nature makes him the opposite of a quitter; he is ᴄᴏᴍᴍɪᴛᴛᴇᴅ to everything he does, be it acting as a decoy or cheering up a friend, and doesn’t fool around when it’s time to get serious.

- sᴇᴇᴋs ᴠᴀʟɪᴅᴀᴛɪᴏɴ
- ᴊᴜᴠᴇɴɪʟᴇ
- ɪᴍᴘᴀᴛɪᴇɴᴛ
- ɪᴍᴘᴜʟsɪᴠᴇ
- ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ᴡᴇᴀᴋ
- ᴅᴏᴡɴᴘʟᴀʏs ᴡᴏᴜɴᴅs
- sᴜғғᴇʀs ɪɴ sɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ
Having seen war up-close, Bumblebee is a ᴡᴏʀʀɪᴇʀ where his friends’ safety is concerned. He can get a bit too ᴇᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ about things sometimes, and that makes him feel ɪɴsᴇᴄᴜʀᴇ over his skills and usefulness. To this effect, he sᴇᴇᴋs ᴠᴀʟɪᴅᴀᴛɪᴏɴ almost constantly, and despite acting like he deserves whatever praise he gets, he is actually never sure that he does. His relative youth makes him be ᴊᴜᴠᴇɴɪʟᴇ every now and then as well; he has been known to go into sulks and hold petty grudges.
He is an ɪᴍᴘᴀᴛɪᴇɴᴛ and ɪᴍᴘᴜʟsɪᴠᴇ mech, often bursting into action without first thinking things through. These traits have landed him in trouble more than once. Considering that he is ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ᴡᴇᴀᴋ compared to most cybertronians, trouble for him tends to get serious fast. He feels stupid and undeserving of his friends’ aid when his brashness gets him hurt, and often ᴅᴏᴡɴᴘʟᴀʏs ᴡᴏᴜɴᴅs to avoid being a burden. One could say he sᴜғғᴇʀs ɪɴ sɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ in regards to the state of his frame and mind, but tries to hide it.
Weaponry:
- ᴅᴜᴀʟ ᴇɴᴇʀɢᴏɴ ʙʟᴀsᴛᴇʀs → Built into his forearms, Bumblebee has had them since he was brought online. They are nothing special, but he knows them well, and he certainly knows how to use them.
- ᴇᴍᴘ ʙᴏᴍʙs → There is always a handful of them in Bumblebee’s subspace. While non-lethal, they are capable of scrambling a mechanism’s systems something fierce. Bumblebee has been known for sometimes failing to get out of the bombs’ pulse range fast enough.
- ᴘʟᴀsᴍᴀ ɢᴜɴ → A standard blaster that Bumblebee acquired when he joined the New Elite Guard. He didn’t it at first, preferring his inbuilt blasters, and his time hasn’t swayed his opinion. At least it doesn’t jam often.
History:
Bumblebee was one of the last cybertronians to be created before the Well of All Sparks went dormant. Brought online into a world ravaged by war, he became an Autobot and served under Optimus Prime, eventually becoming part of the his inner circle as well as his scout. To him, his faction is his species, and he considers the concept of ‘cybertronian’ to be as foreign as the concept of peace.
At some point during the conflict, Bumblebee was captured and interrogated by Megatron himself. This gruesome encounter led to the loss of his voice and almost his very life, but Ratchet managed to save him. Once it became obvious that Cybertron would become a dead world, Bumblebee joined a great many Autobots aboard the Ark and took to the stars for the first time in his function. He would wander a long time through unknown space before reaching Earth.
This is where things get confusing.
Bumblebee can’t remember much about his time on Earth apart from knowing that it’s substantial. He knows that he is stationed there, that he leads a ragtag team of Autobots, that his voice is back, and that he is trying to round up escaped Decepticon inmates. However, he also knows that he is Optimus Prime’s scout, that he is part of his leader’s team, and that he is great friends with the young human Rafael Esquivel. Additionally, he will agree with people who say that Cybertron is either dead or restored but feel like neither option is quite right. Time will tell if these are just corrupted memory files or something else altogether.
