Bumper (Animated)
| The name or term "Bumper" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bumper (disambiguation). |
- Bumper is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.
Bumper might look pretty unassuming, but that familiar 65356-9292-346 body-type hides a fiercely loyal and determined Spark. He has suffered a lot in his life, but has borne it all to protect those he calls friends and allies.
Fiction
Animated cartoon continuity
Bumper was part of a science expedition that strayed too far outside the boundaries of the Autobot Commonwealth, and was shot down over the planet Bhul by native "freedom fighters". After hiding the survivors, Bumper returned to their ship's wreckage to scavenge some oil, only to be captured by their attackers. Tortured horribly for many cycles, Bumper never gave up the location of his fellow Autobots. Searchlight respects him deeply for this, and if Searchlight respects you, you know you've done well. The AllSpark Almanac II
Bumper was among the Autobots going about their daily business when Captain Fanzone accidentally transwarped to Cybertron, but he seemed to be too busy talking to Glyph to notice. This Is Why I Hate Machines
Notes
- Bumper's name was confirmed in The AllSpark Almanac 2.
- In reference to the similarity between the original Bumper and Bumblebee, Animated Bumper is among the many, many robots to share Animated Bumblebee's body-type (65356-9292-346).
- Also just like the original Bumper was, Animated Bumper has also been redecoed in white.
