Animated Series
Bumblebee appears in the pilot episode of the series responding too late to a call for help from Cliffjumper, who is captured by the Decepticons and killed. Bumblebee soon is assigned to be Raf Esquivel's guardian. They grow close, partly thanks to the fact Raf can somehow understand Bumblebee's language of beeping, and when Megatron nearly kills the boy, Bumblebee is enraged, but is able to help save the boy's life via a transfusion of Energon. In the Operation: Bumblebee two-parter, Bumblebee loses his transformation cog, robbing him of his ability to transform and his speed. Bumblebee eventually retrieves the cog from human terrorist group M.E.C.H. and Starscream.

Famous quotes containing the words animated and/or series:
“Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
