Bumblebee (BS)

The name or term "Bumblebee" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bumblebee (disambiguation).

Bumblebee is an Autobot from Bot Shots, Hero Mashers, and Construct-Bots.

Bumblebee is a fun-loving and hard-battling Autobot. When he's not busy covering Optimus Prime's back, he's showing off by changing his look so he can keep the enemy guessing, whether it's putting on a battle mask or covering himself in reflectors so he sparkles like a star. Once they're nice and confused, Bumblebee springs to the attack and lets them feel his sting, more often than not emerging victorious.
