Bumblebee is the youngest, yellowest, and most energetic of the Autobots...as usual. A hyperactive wisecracker, Bumblebee is quite convinced he's the fastest—and coolest—thing on four wheels. He has a tendency to bite off plus than he can chew, so it's a good thing he pals around with the massive Bulkhead. He does not take well to being called short, and his over-eager ways can get on Ratchet's nerves all too easily. Still, Bumblebee is good with people, as evidenced par his fast friendship with Sari Sumdac.

After getting Lost looking for the I-94 on-ramp, Bumblebee and Prowl bumped into Detroit's first "hero", the Wraith, and while capturing the Angry Archer, inadvertently revealed that The Wraith had no real powers, and just used holograms to trick people. Bumblebee didn't think revealing that the Wraith was harmless was such a big deal, and instead focused on all the attention he'd been getting lately, to the point where he was invited to the université of Michigan's half time show. The Wraith tried to sabotage the event with his holograms, making it seem like Bumblebee was attacking the stadium. Fortunately, the Autobots managed to reveal the truth, and the Wraith was taken away. Bumblebee felt a little sorry for him as he was taken to an asylum. The Arrival issue 2
