Furão is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.
I'm the Bumblebee with the Bumblebee head. That all settled?

A while back, Furão, a young cop, was stationed on the Flash Frenzy, when it was hit by Decepticon saboteurs while docked at a depot near Elba. As the depot exploded, Furão saved the day by crawling through the conduits to collect magnetic coating to fashion into solar sails. He then used his makeshift solar sails to absorb energy from the nearby Blot Nebula; absorbing just enough to push the Flash Frenzy away from its dock to safety. This brave act is how he received his name, which means "ferret" in Old Malignus.

Notes

[edit]
  • "Furao" is given by the character's (leaked) model sheet. He (among 30 gazillion others) wears the 65356-9292-346 body-type. Furão's name (with a tilde) was confirmed in The AllSpark Almanac II, as well as the story of how he got his name, as told by Chase.
  • His wartime escapade is based on a real wartime tale: the crew of the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}USS_Intrepid_(CV-11)#Central_Pacific_operations|{{#if:USS Intrepid (CV-11)|USS Intrepid (CV-11)|USS_Intrepid_(CV-11)#Central_Pacific_operations}}]] jury-rigging a sail to return to port after being bombed. <ref>Disciples of Boltax: Secrets of the Almanac II Part One</ref>
    • Fittingly, key locations of the escapade have nautical themes: Elba is named after the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Elba|{{#if:Earth island|Earth island|Elba}}]], and the Blot Nebula contains Barbarossa, named after the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Hayreddin Barbarossa|{{#if:Ottoman privateer|Ottoman privateer|Hayreddin Barbarossa}}]].
  • Furão is Generation 1 Bumblebee's Brazilian name in their adaptation of the Marvel comic. It means "ferret" in Portuguese.
