The film goes into the origin of this trait, and where he picked up his love of earth music. AM/FM Characterization: Like the Bay films and Cyberverse Bumblebee, this is used by Bee to circumvent his inability to speak, conveying his thoughts and feelings through the music he plays.Bee's name being changed (at least for the Cybertron scenes) makes sense because there shouldn't be any reason he's called "Bumblebee" when he lives on a planet where they don't exist. Adaptational Name Change: Subverted on Cybertron, he is referred to as "B-127", but upon losing his memory and being rendered mute, he's dubbed "Bumblebee" by Charlie because of the buzzing noises he makes and keeps this name after regaining his memory.Fortunately, Charlie befriends the lost Autobot, naming him "Bumblebee" after his yellow paint job, timid nature, and buzzing noises. Discovered by Charlie Watson, he's accidentally revived, but without any memory of who he is, and is terrified and confused by everything around him. In 1987, he arrives on Earth, but is followed there by the Decepticon Blitzwing who then proceeds to viciously attack and nearly kill him, forcing him to hide as a Volkswagen Beetle. The Hero of the movie, Bumblebee, or B-127 as he was initially called, is an Autobot soldier sent to seek out a new home for the Autobots so they can regroup and retake their planet. Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The Autobots are presented here as more fighters out of desperation and just want peace, but as far as the Decepticons are concerned, the Autobots are criminals and traitors to Cybertron.

Likewise, Prime immediately calls for a retreat when the Decepticon forces become too much for them to bear, despite the fact he himself could probably take them on by himself he'd rather fight them alone to buy time for his soldiers than risk any of them being caught in the crossfire. Undying Loyalty: None of them will give up Optimus Prime.Transforming Mecha: They are Transformers of course.La Résistance: To a greater extent than typical depictions, where the Autobots were typically the dominant party until the Decepticons took over, the Autobots here are explicitly the Autobot Resistance, and from what we see, they're losing the war.

Bumblebee is the only one who doesn't, due to blending his G1 design with his prior movie design.
