BUMBLEBEE
Nicknames: Bee, Scout
Age: 24
Gender: Mech
Faction: Autobots
Alt Mode: X-12 Limited Edition
G.H.O.S.T, Civilian, or Other: Civilian (in hiding/teacher to the Terrans)
Residence: The Malto's Home (lives in the barn)
GENERAL INFO
Weapons: Built-in blaster on his right arm that he refers to as his stinger
Holoform: Steve Rogers from the MCU cause he's a big hero!
Personality: Bumblebee's the yellow kid appeal bot amongst the Autobots. What more is there to say? He's fun loving and always seeking to prove himself a great hero. Need him to run recon? Done. Need top secret intel delivered? Check! Bee will do anything and everything he can to make himself memorable and be noticed by those around him. Getting the recognition from Optimus Prime himself is a huge thing, and he very much holds a strong respect for the guy and the decisions he made during the war. He understands things haven't been easy, but he wants to do his part to make things just a little bit better. That's why he accepted the important mission of training the Terrans after all about their culture and just who they are.
That being said, Bumblebee isn't a fan of failure. He doesn't get outright mad, but he does get upset when things don't go according to plan. How could he mess up such a simple job? Is he really such a great hero? These are the kinds of questions that run rampant in his processor when things go south and continue to go that way. War does things to bots, and while it's hardened Bumblebee a little, he still has his doubts about his abilities from time to time. A kind word from someone is usually enough to get him back on his feet, but sometimes that just isn't what he wants to hear. He isn't afraid to reach out for advice and help when he needs it, and that's a big thing for some bots. He's willing to lend an audial to others as well who are in need of a pick-me-up, and he'll do what he can to cheer them up or help set them back on the right track.
Bumblebee can definitely be impatient at times. Keep him off the field long enough, and he's going to get antsy. He needs to be out there doing stuff, and being forced to go into hiding hasn't exactly helped in that regard. He misses being out there, having a good time while making a name for himself. When push comes to shove, he'll ask someone to step in so he can stretch his legs though that isn't to say this doesn't get him into trouble from time to time, especially back during the war. He's gotten slightly better over the years, but only just.

PERSONAL INFO
Family: The Malto's (found family)
Mate: None
History: Hailing from the city-state of Praxus, Bumblebee was one of the very last Cybertronians to be forged during the war never having known what a pre-war Cybertron was like outside of stories that he had heard. He quickly joined the Autobots, and became part of Optimus Prime's inner circle upon demonstrating his impressive skillset at scouting and how fast he was. Though he was little compared to most other Cybertronians, Bumblebee strived to prove that he was more just a little runt and quickly gained a following amongst the Autobots. Though not physically strong, his speed and agility made him a fearsome foe to the Decepticons. Before he knew it, the Autobots were forced to leave Cybertron after building the Ark only to be followed by the Decepticons. The battle ensued, but not before the Ark crash landed straight into the side of a volcano where Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots remained in stasis for thousands of years to come.
Upon coming back online on a fateful September 17, 1984 the war resumed on Earth with the Decepticons, but they weren't alone this time. Now aided by the human militaries, Bumblebee helped in the fight against the Decepticons with the likes of their human allies Spike Witwicky and Dot Malto. Eventually, and much to Bumblebee's suspicions, Megatron suddenly switched to the Autobot side in order to bring about an end to the war. Together, they managed to destroy their only means home; a singular space bridge forever trapping the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth. While Bumblebee didn't mind his new home, he was instructed by Optimus Prime to go into hiding as the Autobots allied with their new partners in the organization G.H.O.S.T. Knowing full well that he would be picked up by the human organization, Bumblebee fled and stayed off the grid for some time, spending time exploring and drag racing while learning more about human culture.
That all changed the moment Dot Malto and her family moved to Witwicky, Pennsylvania for her new job which had been designed by G.H.O.S.T themselves. With brand new Cybertronians born on Earth mysteriously and bonded to Dot's children Mo and Robby, Optimus contacted Bumblebee and requested he come out of hiding for a special mission. Returning to Witwicky, Bumblebee now must train the newly born Terrans Twitch and Thrash in all ways of Cybertronian life and to teach them more about who and what they are. Of course, all he really wants to do is get back in action but knows he can't easily with G.H.O.S.T hanging around. Keeping his distance from the organization and keeping those reasons as to why he isn't with them a secret, he now lives with the Malto family while attempting to train the Terrans.
If only he could get them to stay focused while trying to keep Alex Malto away from his diary.
