Hulk Hogan and Snidely Whiplash are confounded by Bumblebee.

Jacob Lee Bonaventure is an industrialist in the latter part of the 19th century. He is apparently a high-ranking officer in a railroad company, or possibly its owner. He looks and acts like a somewhat-more-competent (and bewhiskered) Boss Hogg.

Fiction

Hearts of Steel

Alerted by his employee Vanflint, Bonaventure goes looking for the Decepticon factory, and meets with Starscream. He offers his services as the Decepticons' intermediary in their dealings with humans, in the hopes of profiting from their advanced technology. Starscream agrees. Hearts of Steel #3 Bonaventure is aboard Astrotrain during the journey to New York City, and offers some useful intelligence regarding the Autobots' pursuit (provided by a loyal and observant telegraph operator). He presumably perishes when Astrotrain plummets over a cliff. Hearts of Steel #4
