WTF?? Are your referring to the same Bumblebee that handed Barricade's ass to him and shot the sh*t out of Brawl sans legs??

Well with the second example, BB needed his human team mates to bail him out by having him crawl on top of a tow truck so they could maneuver him.

So how does this show he needed humans to show him how to fight?

Bumblebee just owned Brawl on his own, even if in his makeshift wheelchair. It's not like Bumblebee needed to be shown where and how to shoot Brawl, and Bumblebee's look to Mikela got her to snap out of it to drive so he could attack. Sure she said" I'll drive, you shoot", but Bumblebee's look made her snap out of her crying phase.

Well it's not like Bumblebee came up with the idea on his own. If Mikaela hadn't suggested "Hey Bumbles, get on the truck so you can keep fighting", BB probably would have just sat there, whining about how useless he is.

Seriously...WTF is wrong with you?

When did Movie Bumblebee whine at all? He never did. He beat Barricade, killed Brawl, and saved Sam twice.

I guess what's confusing me is that BB acted like a little lost puppy dog around Sam. Granted, it may not make him a whiney Starscream but he still displays a lack of back-bone and the only times he acts bravely is when Sam is in danger.

Me thinks you just didn't like the movie.

How the Powerglide did Bumblebee ever act like a lost puppy dog or never show backbone?

He scared away the dogs from Sam, slammed into Barricade to get Sam and Mikela, beat up Barricade, saved Mikela and Sam from fallign to their deaths, jumped up and immediately helped Ironhide set up a defensive versus Starscream's first attack, and he fought against Brawl with no legs.

 

Only times he could actually do anything but grunt, moan, scream, and cry out was when he was being captured/tortured by Sector Seven and then again when his legs were blown off! The rest of the time he never gave Sam or anyone sad puppy dog eyes and acted like he was some little pet.

 

EDIT -- Ah, Nevermind. Whatever, hate what you want no matter how irrational it seems to me*

 

 

*NOTE the me.

I don't normally like to slam people, we all have our oppinions, but the rubbish comming outa your keyboard re Bumblebee is crazy, Aquarion.

 

The loyal, capable, yet aggressive way Bumblebee was shown in the movie has made me love the character again after years of seeing him used as a cheap plot device , which is basically all HotShot is (IMO). The way Bumblebee TEAMED UP with the Humans was the core of the movie and was done very well indeed. If anything BB showed Sam how to fight, and it was BBs heroism that fueled Sams flight to save the Allspark from Megatron.

 

BB is awesome in the movie and your refferences to puppy dogs eyes are looneytoons I'm affraid old chap.

 

Hotshot in the movie would have been a disaster. Bumblebee has FAR more substance. He was finally portrayed how he should be. Yes he's young and strives to impress those he looks up to, but he's an intelligent and courageous warrior and is a far more interesting character than HotShot, or Hotrod for that matter.

Barricade might not have been the strongest 'con, but he was intimidating as hell. Any young gun standing up against that without a second thought has some huge steel balls. And If you jump legless on the back of a truck and start shooting a tank with feet three times your size you need another truck to carry your steel balls for you.

Alright, I'll admit I was wrong since I seem to be the only person arguing the point. Everyone else pretty much agrees that Movie-BB is a better character than Hot Shot.
