'''Skyhammer''' is the very model of the ideal Autobot warrior. He's a courageous defender of the weak, a tenacious and clever warrior, and an unflappable optimist. It's too bad he's also an inconsiderate, overbearing jerk. He can't offer advice to anyone without delivering a long lecture in the most condescending tone possible - using himself, of course, as an example to strive towards. He's so grating and unpleasant that his fellow Autobots are reluctant to follow his orders - even when he's right, which he usually is.

==Fiction==
Skyhammer has chosen not to appear in any fiction, until the perfect medium comes along to capture his magnificence.

:Skyhammer's inner robot transforms into a Cybertronic car. It can also fit inside the humanoid shell, or sit in the cockpit of the shell's hoverjet form. Both robot and shell fit inside the second shell, a large (non-transforming) Cybertronic jet.

:Catalogues showed Skyhammer as being colored blue-and-red instead of gold-and-red. This presumed change between prototype and actual toy has led to Skyhammer being known to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]].

:''Bludgeon is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:BludgeonUK1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|This is pretty much the most metal cover in TF history.]]

'''Bludgeon''' is a ferocious warrior, skilled in the ancient Cybertronian martial art of [[Metallikato]]. Utterly vicious and aloof, Bludgeon is also highly religious, adhering to an arcane code of honor.

"Arcane", of course, is code for "bloodthirsty, murderous, sadistic, and subject to the whims of the guy holding the sword."

:''French-Canadian name:'' '''Gourdin'''<br>
:''Italian name:'' '''Teskior'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

''Bludgeon killed [[Catilla]], a former Decepticon turned Autobot causing ex-Decepticon [[Carnivac]] who loosely allied himself with the Autobot "[[Survivors]]" group to hunt Bludgeon to avenge Catilla's death.''

[[Image:bludgeon-youlie1.jpg|left|300px|thumb|What a skeleton!]]

He later took on the leadership of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s new [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], sent to slay the newly-resurrected [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. However, alongside the [[Rescue Patrol]], the Mayhems were foiled, and inadvertently awakened the slumbering [[Primus]] in the process. During the subsequent battle against [[Unicron]], Bludgeon served as an advisor to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], and battled against Unicronian cultists on Cybertron. After Unicron's defeat and Scorponok's death, Bludgeon became leader of the Decepticons, and abandoned the ruined Cybertron to the Autobots. Alongside his lieutenant [[Krok]], Bludgeon and the Decepticons invaded and pillaged the planet [[Klo]]. The Autobots attempted to stop them, but were routed by the Decepticons until the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Neo-Knights]], and [[The Last Autobot]]. Their combined assault decimated the Decepticons and sent them into retreat.
====="Another Time and Place" text story=====

====Generation 2====

Following a brief exile, Bludgeon created a large planet-like spacecraft known as the [[Warworld]], which functioned as a vessel for pirating resources throughout the galaxy. Bludgeon then made a bid to lure Optimus Prime to Earth to steal the Autobot Creation Matrix so life could be granted to a new generation of Decepticon warriors. The plan involved a full-scale attack on Earth and did succeed in drawing Optimus Prime to Earth's defense, but not before Bludgeon was confronted by the newly-rebuilt [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who wanted command of the Decepticons for himself once more. In a brief skirmish, Megatron decapitated Bludgeon's shell and destroyed his inner robot, killing him. The victorious Decepticon leader subsequently displayed Bludgeon's severed head in the Warworld.

====Classics====

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===
During the so-called 'Dark Ages' of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, Bludgeon, alongside [[Bugly]] and [[Mindwipe]], was a disciple of the mysterious being known as [[The Fallen]]. Together with him, they captured a number of Transformers in order to perform a bizarre ceremony at Cybertron's core, but were eventually foiled by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. Bludgeon was stopped from alerting The Fallen of the impending allied attack on the Well of All Sparks by a teleporting [[Skywarp]].

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics===
An alternate universe version of Bludgeon later appeared as one of [[Unicron]]'s heralds in Dreamwave's comic in their cross-over storyline "Worlds Collide," along with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. This Bludgeon was also a martial artist, but unlike Bludgeon's verbose incarnation in Marvel Comics, this incarnation seemed to be mute. After his Pretender shell is destroyed, he is blown up when [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] detonates the Decepticon headquarters that they have taken over.

===IDW Comics===
[[Image:Bludgeon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Talk about talking your jaw off!]]Bludgeon is the leader of a team of Decepticons who were assigned by Megatron to look into what Shockwave was researching before he disappeared. Megatron also sent [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to spy on them. Eventually, however, they discovered the remains of Thunderwing, the Decepticon scientist who became the avatar of the Cybertronian cataclysm, and became bent on restoring the wasted Cybertron to its former glory by resurrecting him. He and his team of G1 Pretenders ([[Iguanus (G1)|Iguanus]], [[Finback]], [[Skullgrin]], and [[Bomb-Burst]]) believed that in reawakening Thunderwing and turning him loose, the mass sacrifice of worlds would allow the rebirth of Cybertron. They also delved into the outlawed bio-graft experiments pioneered by Thunderwing, in an attempt to create super-shells of their own.

{{spoiler}}
In 1984 they went to [[Earth]] to extract a load of [[Energon|ultra energon]], establishing a base within Mt. St. Helens. Soundwave naturally followed them. He eventually came to them asking for a cut of their profits, believing that they meant to sell the energon, but when he realized that they meant to resurrect Thunderwing he tried to stop them. They used one of Shockwave's devices to lock him in his alt-mode, then caused a volcanic eruption and returned to Cybertron via an [[orbital bounce]].

Twenty years later, when the Wreckers attacked Bludgeon's base on Cybertron by surprise, Iguanus escaped to the bio-graft chamber to find Bludgeon - only to find the cult leader having donned full Pretender armor, giving him a G1 Shell look which is presumably transformable. However, in Bludgeon's rush the shell was not mentally aligned, causing a psychic backlash that took down the Decepticon before the Wreckers even found him. It is unclear whether Bludgeon's mind survived, but if it did it is apparently trapped in torment.

Bludgeon's 'original' mode was vastly overhauled for Stormbringer, evoking much more clearly the more recognisable skull-face and helmet. His shell bore a great resemblance to that of G1, only like Thunderwing's it seems that it may be able to transform into a tank.

===Devil's Due GI Joe vs. Transformers continuity===

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Bludgeon_Robot_GIJoe.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Bludgeon always secretly dreamed of being a [[Wikipedia:Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light|Visionary]]. ]]

When Optimus Prime was given the [[Matrix]], Bludgeon attempted to kill him. Some years after failing, he ended up on [[Earth]] working with [[Cobra-La]]. He was responsible for the death of [[Atomic Man]] in 1978. In the caves under Tibet that served as Cobra-La's lair, Bludgeon engaged Optimus Prime in battle. After being burned by Bludgeon, Optimus ripped the chest off of Bludgeon's Pretender shell. In his anger, Bludgeon lost his edge and fell off a cliff. Although Optimus had caught him, Bludgeon chose to fall, standing by his philosophy of "merciless death and destruction."

Thunderwing (G1)

2007-07-07T15:57:24Z

24.245.47.227: /* IDW comics continuity */

{{disambig3|Thunderwing}}

:''Thunderwing is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[image:Thunderwingboxart.jpg|right|300px|thumbnail|It's some gooood box-art that makes his teeny inner robot look not-crappy.]]

Like many Decepticon leaders, '''Thunderwing''' strikes a delicate balance between calm composure and explosive rage. Thunderwing wants to be admired and respected by his subordinates, but all too often he can be caught in a consuming obsession that leads him down the irreversible path of darkness.

''French-Canadian name'': '''Aérofoudre'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Image:ThunderwingComic.jpg|left|thumbnail|Si, Senior.]]

''One of Thunderwing's first actions on taking over Decepticon leadership was to abolish neutral territories, making places such as [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] Decepticon-only establishments.''

Thunderwing first appeared (in the US comics) in issue #60 (Yesterday's Heroes) when he orders [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s "[[Mayhem Attack Squad]]" (which consists of Bludgeon, [[Octopunch]] and [[Stranglehold (G1)|Stranglehold]]) to find and kill the Autobot Pretenders.

At the beginning of the [[Matrix Quest]], Thunderwing began to take matters into his own hands. After learning of the Matrix from some captured Autobots, he realized that it was the key to power beyond comprehension. His obsession with finding the Creation Matrix caused some concerns for the Decepticons under his command (as they did not know of the Matrix's true power), he even attacked his own troops when accused of taking his personal quest too far.

It was at this time that Thunderwing revealed that he was one of the select few Transformers, and indeed, the only Decepticon, to possess a natural affinity for the Matrix. He was one of the very few who could actually use the powers of The Matrix.

After forming a psychic link with an immense whale-like alien called a [[Kludd]] whom had been restored from the brink of extinction by the Matrix's power, Thunderwing learned where the Matrix was last seen: the third moon of [[Cameron]]. Thunderwing immediately set out to retrieve it, much to the disapproval of his troops.

As it would happen, between the revival of the Kludd and the arrival of Thunderwing, The Creation Matrix had become warped. A dying alien "[[Deathbringer]]" had touched the Matrix, and was fully healed and recreated by its power. This malevolent entity gave The Matrix its first taste of evil. Later, another creature found the Matrix: a parasitic insect which existed purely to kill and destroy. The Matrix, now quite fascinated by the nature of darkness, restored and improved the creature, considering it to be the single most evil creature it had ever seen. This new creature was referred to as the [[Matrix Spawn]] and would serve as its vessel.

Meanwhile, the Autobot Pretenders, having escaped from the Mayhem Attack Squad, arrived on Cameron after hearing the reports of a research team on that moon. The researchers had discovered an incredible power source inside [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s old body -- shortly before being slaughtered by the Matrix Spawn creature. The Autobots could only assume that the described "power source" was the Creation Matrix.

When Thunderwing arrived on Cameron, he attacked the Autobot Pretenders. The battle was pre-empted by the arrival of the Matrix Spawn however. Thunderwing, possessing a natural affinity for The Matrix, managed to catch The Spawn off guard, causing it to flee with Thunderwing in pursuit.

The Spawn fled straight to the Matrix, where it met Thunderwing in mortal combat. The Spawn was defeated, and the Matrix was Thunderwing's prize.

[[Image:Thunderwing_with_matrix.jpg|right|thumb|I HAVE THE POWERRRRR!.]]In the final issue of the Matrix Quest mini-series, Thunderwing, using his new found power as a result of having the Matrix, moved to the [[Ark]] with the intention of destroying the Autobots.

After nearly beating Optimus Prime to death with his bare hands, the other Decepticons under Thunderwing's command realized how completely Thunderwing had fallen, and turned against him. After being damaged by one of the Pretenders, the true scope of relationship between The Matrix and Thunderwing was revealed. The Matrix's newly found evil influence was even enough to dwarf Thunderwing's own judgement, and was controlling him!

After Thunderwing (or "The Vessel" as the Matrix called him) was damaged, The Matrix manifested itself as an immense spectral demon. This new entity proved to be too much for both Autobots and Decepticons to handle. After seeing what he had become, Thunderwing struggled to break free of The Matrix's control. While the Thunderwing/Matrix demon was distracted, the course of the battle shifted.

During the turmoil, the Autobots who had been captured by Thunderwing earlier in the Matrix Quest story-line had gotten free. [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] managed to fire the Decepticon ship's grappling hook into Thunderwing's shoulder. They then launched the ship out of the Ark, and detonated it, apparently destroying both Thunderwing and the Matrix. This saved all the Transformers on board, but left no method for defending themselves from the coming threat of [[Unicron]]

Only when Unicron finally arrived on Cybertron, did The Corrupted Matrix and Thunderwing reappear. Despite now being corrupted and enraptured by the nature of darkness, The Matrix was created to destroy Unicron. It could not deny this aspect of its existence.

Sensing its ancient nemesis, The Matrix rebuilt Thunderwing, who promptly sped to Cybertron. Unfortunately, ''because'' the Matrix was now a product of evil, it had no effect upon Unicron, who destroyed the Decepticon completely with a massive burst of energy, ending Thunderwing's career permanently.

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics===
An alternate version of Thunderwing appeared briefly as one of [[Unicron]]'s heralds, along with [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. He was blown up when [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] detonated the Decepticon headquarters that they had taken over.

=== IDW comics continuity ===
[[Image:Thunderwingwhathaveyoudone.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Moral of ''Stormbringer'': Pretenders ruined ''Transformers''.]]Seven hundred years ago, during the height of the Autobot-Decepticon war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Thunderwing was a Decepticon scientist who alerted both sides to the damage that the ongoing conflict was doing to their planet and the resultant danger of an impending catastrophic event. According to [[Bludgeon_(G1)|Bludgeon]], his warnings were ignored, even by [[Jetfire_(G1)|Jetfire]].

Subsequently, Thunderwing took action on his own, subjecting himself to a "grafting" process of his own design, one that had previously been summarily rejected by Megatron as "unnatural" and "ill-concieved." This process, of grafting tissue culled from living subjects onto a Transformer to create an armored symbiotic carapace, somehow also appears to have made him the avatar of the very apocalypse he had warned against. The process drove Thunderwing insane but made him invulnerable; even the combined might of the Autobots and Decepticons coudn't stop him. In the end, he was swallowed whole by Cybertron itself, leaving the planet completely uninhabitable.

{{spoiler}}

When [[Shockwave]] went missing, Megatron assigned Bludgeon to dig into his research and find out what he was up to. An indeterminate time later, Thunderwing's resting place was discovered by a group of Decepticons led by Bludgeon, who planned to continue where Thunderwing left off. The project was completed in the present day, using a combinaton of "[[Ultra Energon]]" (culled from Shockwave's research) and a set of imprinted commands. Thunderwing was thus resurrected, and immediately departed for [[Nebulos]] following Bludgeon's plans to sacrifice that world to somehow restore Cybertron. There, Thunderwing was engaged by the Decepticon Infiltration team in place, which did not want to see Nebulos completely destroyed. After Thunderwing totalled [[Crankcase]], [[Ruckus]], and [[Roadgrabber]], the survivors, [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]], [[Darkwing]], and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], abandoned the planet, leaving Thunderwing alone. However, after the destruction of Bludgeon's control harness, Thunderwing changed course - back towards Cybertron. There he revealed a third "Ultra" robot configuration. Thanks to the [[Wreckers]], the Decepticons, a speech from Optimus Prime, and the instability of Ultra Energon, he was stopped dead in his tracks. Presumably his innanimate form was taken into custody by the Autobots. {{storylink|Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer}}

Holomatter

2007-07-07T15:30:20Z

24.245.47.227: fixed typos

Holomatter makes its appearance in the [[Infiltration|''Transformers: Infiltration'']] comic series. It is used by the [[Autobot|Autobots]] infiltrating Earth to create fake drivers for their alternate forms so as not to arouse suspicion among the human populace.

The Autobot [[Ratchet_(G1)#IDW_Comics_continuity|Ratchet]] mentions "holomatter generators".<ref>[[Infiltration, Part 2]]</ref> These are presumably a network of power and / or projection systems scattered across his chassis. These devices are small enough to fit within a standard Transformer and, aside from the image of the fake driver they project, give off no visual or auditory emissions. The generators operate like a highly-advanced holographic projector; they are capable of creating an image a considerable distance away from the Autobot they are installed within. The image is projected not only through the Autobot's skin (holomatter drivers have appeared both within and outside their Autobots, as far distant as several metres<ref>[[Infiltration, Part 3]]</ref>) but also through solid walls<ref>[[Infiltration, Part 2]]</ref> and even tens, possibly hundreds, of metres of intervening ground.<ref>[[Spotlight: Ultra Magnus]]</ref>

Two features of holomatter images separate them from "run of the mill" holographic technology, though. The first is that holomatter projections are actually ''solid''. Although the actual strength of a holomatter avatar is yet to be established, Ratchet's handling of the [[SM-40]] in ''Infiltration'' Issue 3 indicates that they can carry and manipulate small objects with ease. The holomatter avatar isn't just a friendly image to fool human beings; it's also the Autobot equivalent of a remotely operated vehicle, allowing Autobots to go places and perform actions that would otherwise be prevented by their size (and need to camouflage their true identities).

The second feature is potentially more interesting, though: A holomatter avatar projection somehow houses the consciousness of its generating Autobot, effectively making what would otherwise be a "simple" projection a direct extension of the Autobot's will. In a way, the avatar ''becomes'' part of the Autobot.

== Overload jolt ==

In emergencies, a holomatter avatar can be used to deliver a massive electrical surge at very close range. This surge is powerful enough to momentarily disrupt the systems of a single [[Transformers|Transformer]], enough to cause disorientation and possibly unconsciousness for at least ten seconds. The cost of this surge is the holomatter generators themselves; whether an [[Autobot]]'s internal systems will repair the damage given time <ref>[[Infiltration, Part 1]]</ref> or whether repair facilities are required is unknown; both the general pacing of the ''Infiltration'' series and the absence of any "repair" scenes in the comics suggest the former.

== Limitations and weaknesses ==

One apparent problem with holomatter disguises is that they're limited by their programmer's understanding of the lifeform they mimic. For most of their early time on Earth the holomatter avatars of the Autobots wore a "creepy-fixed-smile"<ref>[[Infiltration, Part 1]]</ref>; although Ratchet's avatar's upper face expressed worry, fear and resignation (and its eyes closed) during the Autobot's initial interactions with Hunter, Jimmy and Verity, its smile never disappeared. This lack of understanding may account for why otherwise male-seeming Autobots (for example, Bumblebee and Sunstreaker) have selected female avatars for themselves. The question of if the Autobots can alter their voices to suit hasn't been answered yet.

After Optimus Prime arrived on Earth, Hunter was able to give the Autobots a "crash course in Earth culture" prior to his departure (Jazz noted that the Autobots never realised that humans found the smiles of their avatars disturbing). After this, the Autobots' holomatter avatars became much more expressive.

Finally, the unique transferral of consciousness to the avatar has risks; if not shut down in time, damage to the avatar can backlash along its link, causing pain to its Autobot.<ref>[[Spotlight: Ultra Magnus]]</ref>

Holomatter can be detected by devices called "holomatter readers", which [[Machination|The Machination]] appears to possess.<ref>[[Escalation, Part 4]]</ref>

Bumblebee (G1)

2007-07-06T12:49:50Z

24.245.47.227: /* Dreamwave ''Transformers/G.I. Joe'' continuity */

{{disambig2|the Generation 1 Autobot|the 2007 movie Autobot|Bumblebee (Movie)}}

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He was known as '''Goldbug''' for a time in some continuities.''

[[Image:Bumblebeeg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Quit beating me up. It's not cool, it's not edgy. It's stupid and mean. HA HA WE HURT KID-APPEAL CHARACTER. Real frickin' mature.]]

'''Bumblebee''' is one of the smallest and weakest Autobots. While this does allow him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, but what he doesn't realize is that ''they'' look up to ''him''. He may be small, but he's brave, and he's one of the most likable Autobots around. Bumblebee already has the respect he craves.

As '''Goldbug''', his rebuilt and "matured" form, Bumblebee retains most of his earlier strengths and weaknesses, but without his crippling need for approval. (This is true of some "matured" versions of Bumblebee without new names or bodies, as well, but is quite markedly associated with the change to Goldbug).

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
[[Image:Bumblebeemarvel1.jpg|100px|left|thumb|Bumblebee's first appearance... anywhere.]]

Four million years ago, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] led a crew of Autobots including Bumblebee aboard the [[Ark]] to clear a path through an asteroid belt for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to pass through. Once their objective was completed, they were attacked by Decepticons and both their ships crashed in a volcanic mountain on a primitive planet known as [[Earth]]. In 1984, the volcano ([[Mount Saint Hilary]]) erupted, awakening their ship, which rebuilt them. Bumblebee was reconfigured to transform into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

[[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] led a mission into a human city to investigate their new world. Bumblebee, anxious to be the first to meet the planet's inhabitants, rear-ended a car full of teenagers at a drive-in movie theater. Before he could introduce himself, he was under attack by Decepticons and damaged badly. One of the teenagers, [[Buster Witwicky]], brought the car back to his father's auto repair shop. Bumblebee weakly pleaded to them to fix him, for he was dying. His father, [[Sparkplug Witwicky]], fixed Bumblebee and offered to help the Autobots convert their native fuel resources into a form that Transformers could use. Bumblebee took Buster with him back towards the Ark to relay this message.

[[Image:Bumblebeeplight.jpg|right|thumb|RARR BUMBLEBEE SMASH]]

After a seemingly final battle with the Decepticons, the long-lost Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] arrived and reversed the Autobots' victory with a single blast. Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots were kept captive aboard the Ark until Ratchet managed to free the Ark from Decepticon control and repair them. However, Buster had been entrusted with safeguarding the [[Creation Matrix]], which the Decepticons discovered, so Bumblebee and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] were sent to protect him. Buster was attacked by the newly-built but lifeless [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. Bumblebee and Bluestreak did their best to defend Buster, but it was Buster's use of the powers of the Creation Matrix which saved them all, disassembling Jetfire in mid-air. Bumblebee removed Jetfire's brain so Buster could remote-control the body with his mind.

After the Creation Matrix was returned to a restored Optimus Prime, Bumblebee was charged with giving four new recruits ([[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]) a tour of the planet. Bumblebee decided a [[Brick Springhorn]] concert would be a good destination, but the Decepticons had sabotaged the event to harvest [[energon]]. Bumblebee disobeyed orders and led the four into battle, saving the concert. When [[Robot-Master]] appeared on television and claimed to control the Transformers, it was Bumblebee's job to ask their human business parter [[G.B. Blackrock]] what the deal was. Robot-Master broadcast next in a coal mine next to a de-energized [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], but Bumblebee and several other Autobots were pushed away by overwhelming Earth military forces.

This event caused Bumblebee to question his usefulness to the Autobots, and he abandoned them without a word. The Decepticons, however, saw much use for him and attempted to apprehend him. Hiding in a used car lot, he was stolen by [[Waldo and Ernest|two humans]], who he adopted for a while. The Decepticons did not relent, and Bumblebee was ultimately rescued by the rest of the Autobots, an act which reminded him how valuable he was to them.

Due to [[#Conflicting Goldbug origins|conflicting circumstances]], Bumblebee was damaged and rebuilt into a stronger but similar form, Goldbug. Goldbug and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] were ordered by the new Autobot leader [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to track down the [[Mechanic]], who had stolen Autobot technology from the Ark. Grimlock was a terrible leader and had no regard for human life, so both Goldbug and Blaster exiled themselves from his command. Grimlock was furious, and sent the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s to bring them in. Goldbug and Blaster found themselves in the desert of the American southwest and, thanks to a run-in with the Decepticon [[Triple Changer]]s, were infested with the disease known as [[Scraplets]]. Goldbug and his human friend [[Charlie Fong]] left to get help and possibly a cure, but Blaster believed Goldbug had abandoned him to die. Near death himself, Goldbug and Charlie arrived at a gas station, where they met up with the [[Throttlebot]]s, sent from Cybertron by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and armed with acid to contain the disease. Goldbug narrowly escaped extermination when it as discovered that the cure for Scraplets was none other than [[water]]. Goldbug called industrialist [[G.B. Blackrock]] (on a pay phone), and Blackrock trucked in tanks of water himself. Blaster was cured and his trust in Goldbug was restored.

Goldbug, Blaster, and the Throttlebots found refuge in a used car lot owned by [[Big Steve]]. However, they were all in bad need of fuel. They attempted a deal with Big Steve, but he double-crossed them, filling them up with soda pop instead of gasoline. It was then that the Protectobots caught up with them, followed by the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s. During the ensuing battle, the immobilized Throttlebots (including Goldbug) were carted away by [[RAAT]].

[[Image:Bumblebeeskindeep.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Ratchet cares not for your maturation and wishes you were more like 1984.]]

Destroyed by Starscream in Tokyo along with the other Throttlebots, Goldbug was repaired by [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] using [[Pretender]] technology ... sort of. Instead of simply restoring Goldbug, Ratchet rebuilt him as a much larger Bumblebee. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}}, explaining that he always preferred Bumblebee's original form. Before they could discuss it further, Bumblebee had to help [[Jazz]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his minions. While the new Pretenders defeated the other Decepticons, Ratchet seemingly sacrificed himself to destroy Megatron and his base. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

Afterward, the three Pretenders briefly joined the Autobot resistance movement on Cybertron. Thanks to his increased stature, Bumblebee experienced a big boost of confidence as he and the others rejuvenated the resistance. In response, [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] ordered the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] to assassinate them. As Bumblebee, Jazz, Grimlock and the [[Rescue Patrol]] prepared to teleport to Earth, the three Decepticons attacked [[Autobase]], sabotaging the [[trans-time dimensional portal]]. All nine Transformers found themselves teleported into the heart of Cybertron, where the Autobots discovered the resting place of [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

There, they encountered the [[Keeper]] and learned the secret origin of the Transformers, as well as Primus' never-ending battle with [[Unicron]]. As the Keeper's tale ended, the Mayhem Attack Squad found the Autobots. Their initial attack destroyed the Keeper, but Bumblebee and the others handily defeated them. However, a stray blast woke Primus seconds before the repaired portal sent the Transformers back to Earth. {{storylink|Primal Scream}}

[[Image:Bumblebeedarkcreation.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Bumblebee's Pretender shell was forgotten after this battle, presumably (conveniently?) destroyed.]]

With Unicron undoubtedly on his way to devour Cybertron, Bumblebee and his fellow Pretenders embarked on a quest to find the lost [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]]. The three traveled to [[Vsqs]], the last known location of Optimus Prime's funeral barge, to search for clues. Finding an abandoned science station, Bumblebee searched through its computer records. He confirmed that the scientists had found Prime's body and the Matrix, but also a strange [[Matrix Spawn|creature]] that promptly attacked one of the scientists. Before they could investigate further, Thunderwing attacked, also seeking the Matrix. Bumblebee used his Pretender shell to combat the Decepticon, only for Thunderwing to destroy it. The feedback temporarily knocked Bumblebee unconscious, and it seemed Thunderwing would destroy all three Autobots, until the Matrix Spawn attacked. While Thunderwing pursued the creature, Bumblebee and the other Autobots searched the science station for the Matrix. They recovered it, but were so low on [[Energon]] that they were becoming unable to compensate for the moon's heavy gravity. While attempting to reach their shuttle, Thunderwing overtook them, seizing the Matrix and leaving them for dead. {{storylink|Dark Creation}}

Fortunately for Bumblebee, the Autobots sent a shuttle to rescue him and the others before they entered final shutdown {{storylink|Eye of the Storm!}}

=====Conflicting Goldbug origins=====
[[Image:Goldbugorigins.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Ain't variant continuity FUN?!]]

In ''G.I. Joe and the Transformers'', Bumblebee is destroyed by [[G.I. Joe]] due to a misunderstanding. They later rebuild him as Goldbug with help from Ratchet. However, Marvel UK did not initially print the crossover, so an alternate origin for Goldbug was conceived. In the pages of the UK comic, Bumblebee was destroyed by a time-traveling [[Death's Head]] and repaired by a time-traveling [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]. (The Marvel Joe/TF crossover was published in the UK towards the end of the series.) The conflicting origins for Goldbug is the single largest difference between the American and British Marvel Transformers comics; ''most'' everything else kinda sorta meshes together, if you squint.

====Generation 2====
Years after the battle on [[Klo]], and the Autobots had returned to a renewed Cybertron, Bumblebee received a distress signal from G.I. Joe on Earth, notifying them of Megatron's return. He passed this information on to Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Goin' South}} He also accompanied Prime and a team of Autobots to an unnamed planet home to an ancient civilization which reportedly stored a cache of superweapons, and battled the Decepticons there until a monsterous native scared them away. {{storylink|Ghosts}}

Bumblebee was among the Autobot/Decepticon forces battling the [[Cybertronian Empire]] on [[Ethos]]. {{storylink|Escalation!}}

[[Image:Bumblebee-CyberToon.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Bumblebee's Cybertronic form could give [[Cosmos]] a run for his money.]]

After pilfering [[energy conductors]] with [[Wheeljack]], the little, yellow different Autobot boarded the [[Ark]] with several other Autobots under the leadership of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to search for energy. After Decepticons attacked the Ark, Bumblebee, along with the battle's participants and their two ships crash landed on [[Earth]] 4 million years ago. They all laid dormant until 1984 when the Ark's computers were shaken alive as the volcano it crashed in erupted. Bumblebee was rebuilt to transform into a Volkswagen Beetle. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1}} After befriending the humans [[Spike Witwicky]] and his father [[Sparkplug]] after a Decepticon attack on an oil rig {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 2}}, Bumblebee was part of the team of Autobots sent to stop [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the Decepticons from overpowering [[Sherman Dam]]. Bumblebee helped Ironhide carve out a new riverbed for the raging waters, saving a nearby neighborhood from being flooded. Such acts were one of the earliest that helped endear the Autobots to the humans. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

During the Decepticon development of their Space Bridge program, Megatron captured Bumblebee and altered a bank of his memory circuits to lure the Autobots into a trap. Bumblebee recovered in time to alert the Autobots to the true location of the Space Bridge. {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion}}

In 2005, he and [[Spike Witwicky|Spike Witwicky]] were on [[Moonbase 1]]. [[Unicron]] ate it. Luckily, Unicron takes some time to digest things, and the two (as well as [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]) were spared an acid-bath in Unicron's guts by the timely arrival of Spike's son [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]].

[[Image:Goldbugtroop1.jpg|110px|left|thumb|See? He still looks sorta friendly.]]

[[Image:Goldbugtroop2.jpg|100px|right|thumb|Eeeyeeaaggh!]]

When the body of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was retrieved by [[Gregory Swafford]] and [[Jessica Morgan]], [[Rodimus Prime]] led a team that included Bumblebee to investigate. However, Bumblebee and his teammates were attacked by a [[Hate Plague]]-infested [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and heavily damaged. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} After Optimus Prime was rebuilt by the Quintessons, so too was Bumblebee into a more powerful but similar form. Bumblebee remarked that he now looked like a "gold bug". Optimus Prime decided this would be his new name.

Goldbug journeyed with Optimus Prime and the other survivors to [[Chaar]] in search of a heat-resistant alloy that could insulate Prime from the Hate Plague. However, infected Decepticon forces attacked and contaminated Goldbug as well. Goldbug and every other contaminated being were restored when Optimus Prime retrieved the Matrix and unleashed the remainder of its energy. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

Both Bumblebee and Goldbug (what?) are among the cheering crowds after the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] ushers in a new Golden Age of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===Headmasters cartoon===

Goldbug and the Throttlebots appear a few times, their only real actions of note are attempting to deal with a strange metal-warping asteroid and being horribly twisted and warped by it, but they got better.

===''Legends'' anthology===
====''Redemption Center''====
Bumblebee, Spike, and [[Hound]] happened upon a badly damaged Starscream while out racing. Bumblebee convinced the others to bring Starscream back to the Ark for repairs, under the rationale that while Starscream wouldn't have done the same for them, they weren't Decepticons.

====''Joyride''====
Hey, remember that time in the comics when a couple of guys stole Bumblebee? What if they were kind of jerks? What if Bumblebee decided to make them pee themselves?

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

===Dreamwave ''Transformers/G.I. Joe'' continuity===

Bumblebee transforms into a WWII era mortorcycle with side-car. During their joint efforts to stop the Cobra/Decepticon axis of power he teams with the G.I.Joe member Scarlet. Bumblebee feels they make a good team and she can ride him any time.

Presumably he shutdown with the other Transformers when the [[Matrix]] was destroyed.

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' continuity===
Bumblebee and Wheeljack were the only Transformers aboard the Ark to avoid capture and reprogramming by [[Cobra]], a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. After disguising themselves as a Volkswagen Beetle and Lancia Stratos, respectively, the two tried to work out a way to free their comrades. They joined forces with G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe turned on them, Bumblebee and Wheeljack saved them anyway, Bumblebee beat up [[Stormshadow]]'s robotic armor, and they ultimately saved the Earth from nuclear holocaust. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers}}

Later, Bumblebee was sent back through time to Earth's 1970s by a malfunctioning [[Teletran 3]], which also helpfully disguises him as a Ford Pinto. Bumblebee is unamused. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II}}

And then [[Serpent O.R.]] violated him to death with tentacles. Ew. {{storylink|The Art of War}} This made Optimus Prime sad. {{storylink|Black Horizon}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:Bumblebeeidw.jpg|right|thumb|Artist [[E.J. Su]] redesigned Bumblebee for the IDW "Infiltration" series. Deal with it.]]

:''('''Continuity Specific Character Note''': IDW Bumblebee is as easygoing and daring as his incarnations in previous continuities; that positive nature is tempered, though, by a pragmatic streak not often seen in previous incarnations of the character; while their human allies explore the Decepticon's Nebraska bunker, Bumblebee commented to Ratchet that, given the need for evidence of unusual Decepticon activity, the humans would be "acceptable losses". However, this did not prevent him from [[Infiltration%2C_Part_5|leaping to the humans' aid]] as they attempted to exit the collapsing command bunker.''

:''Bumblebee uses a "[[holomatter]]" [[Media:Hotbumblebee.jpg|avatar]] when in public to avoid looking like an unmanned vehicle, which has the appearance of a young human female. It is unknown whether he has a feminine voice (or can affect one) to match his avatar's appearance.)''

Bumblebee was part of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl's]] secret counter-infiltration unit on [[Earth]]. When [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] broke cover by [[Infiltration%2C Part 0|rescuing a trio of humans]], Bumblebee was the one Autobot who supported his efforts. He was true to his role as an espionage agent and fereted out their plans to continue joint operations against orders and joined in. He [[Infiltration%2C Part 4|accompanied Ratchet and the humans]] to investigate an abandoned [[Decepticon]] bunker in [[Nebraska]]. At the bunker, while the humans were inside, two Decepticons attacked, and Bumblebee managed to take down [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], but not before Ratchet was shot and run over by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]].

Bumblebee left the humans with Ratchet and traveled to [[Oregon]], location of the second Decepticon command bunker, observing the situation until the rest of the Autobot unit could arrive. After witnessing Megatron "disciplining" Starscream and subsequently downgrading the infiltration unit's status to Phase Two, Bumblebee departed Oregon with the rest of the unit.

===IDW "Hearts of Steel" continuity===
Following a long period of deactivation, Bumblebee is the first of the Transformers to awaken during the age of humans. Bumblebee is impressed by the humans' industriousness, and disguises himself as what at the time would have seemed a highly advanced steam engine / rail bolt driver. He earns the trust and friendship of the steel-driver [[John Henry]], who sets aside his mistrust of automation after realizing that Bumblebee just wants to put in a fair day's work.

Bumblebee wakes several of his fellow Autobots, who soon discover that the Decepticons are also active in this era. Bumblebee, the Autobots, and their new human friends work together to prevent the Decepticons' mighty [[Astrotrain]] from reaching [[New York City]]. With the Decepticons defeated, Bumblebee and the Autobots return to their slumber.

===''Timelines: Descent Into Evil''===
[[Image:Timelines-Bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|You know you want me, baby.]]

Having been on the trail of the Decepticon agent [[Flamewar]] for a long, long time, now-espionage director Bumblebee (in his unreleased [[Alternators]] body) made his move, interrupting a supposedly-secure secret communication between Flamewar and the [[Tripredacus Council]]. He revealed that his agent [[Ricochet (T)|Ricochet]] had installed a degenerative virus into [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus']] [[Virulent Clone (T)|clone army]]. Oh, and that since the Autobots now ''knew'' Flamewar's whereabouts and who she was working for, the Tripredacus Council would certainly consider her a liability. Which they did. So they blew her ship up.

===''Energon'' cartoon===
A robot using Bumblebee's character model is shown in a still-shot flashback as a member of the Autobot group led by [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]]. Whether this robot is an alternate-universe incarnation of Bumblebee or simply a similar-looking robot is --like all [[Unicron Trilogy]] character-model cameos-- left to conjecture.

{{:Bumblebee (G1) toys}}

==Trivia==
* The original Bumblebee toy was taken from the Japanese ''[[Microchange]]'' line, available in both yellow and red versions.

* Bumblebee/Goldbug was clearly a 'top-tier' character in the first decade of ''Transformers'', receiving more toys during Generation 1 than any other character. However, [[Hasbro]] lost the right to use "Bumblebee" as a toy [[trademark]] during the [[Beast Wars]] and [[Beast Machines]] years, when Generation 1 names were in disuse. That's right, the name "Bumblebee" was lost during the years everyone turned into an animal.

* Bumblebee appeared in one of five Generation 1 [[public service announcements]], informing children that they shouldn't run away from home because it's "mean". From the guy who ditched the Autobots for no real reason.

* The ''[[Armada]]'' [[Mini-Con]] [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] is pretty clearly an [[homage]] to Bumblebee, from the coloration, placement of car-parts in robot mode, segmented-pipe biceps and even the head design.
