Here we are guys! Two thirds of the way through the challenge! Aren't you proud of me!?

Bee and I have been together for a long time. My love for him started when I was in probably first or second grade when G1 was playing on television. From then on I was looking for yellow bugs everywhere I could find one, and they were pretty rare back then.

I love Bumblebee because he's the cheery little brother in a family of alien robots. He's the team spy so he's used to running recon and generally not all that hot in battle (ravage overpowers him most of the time). These things have kept him fairly naive compared to some of his fellow autobots. He finds a best friend in Spike, a human teen and I just love that. They've found a soulmate in each other across time and space and are pretty near inseparable. Bee's also kind of addicted to Optimus. He looks up to the big bot like a father and follows him with blind and devoted loyalty. If Optimus or Spike are ever in trouble, the smallest Autobot would move heaven or hell to get them out. That kind of emotional drive and determination will endear me to any character.
