Excerpt: Bumblebee is the name of several fictional characters from the Transformers series. In most incarnations, Bumblebee is a small, yellow Autobot with the altmode of a compact car. The characters and related events are described, below, using in-universe tone. Bumblebee (known as Bumble in Japan, Moscardo in Portugal, rdongo in Hungary, Maggiolino in Italy) is the "little brother" of the heroic or protagonistic Autobot faction and a mascot, constantly striving to prove himself in the eyes of the other robots - especially his leader, Optimus Prime. This often causes him to take risks that put him in danger. Although a bit of a wise-cracker, he is a capable and reliable messenger and spy, his small size allowing him to go places that his larger commanders cannot.

Although a well-known character because of this, Bumblebee is quite unusual in that, unlike many other Transformers, his name has not been re-used and applied to unrelated characters throughout the ensuing twenty years of Transformers media, due to the loss of the trademark until recently. His role as the "young
