Bumblebee is an Autobot, one of the two factions of robotic lifeforms known as Transformers that have been locked in perpetual war for millions of years. Transformers are able to convert their bodies from one form to another at will, typically switching between a bipedal form and a vehicle form, using the latter to blend into their environment. So it is with Bumblebee, who is able to turn into a small Earthen groundcar called a Volkswagen Beetle. He took this form as a disguise after awakening on the planet 19 years ago, and finds it perfectly suited toward his specialties of reconnaisance and scouting: it's small and easy to overlook, runs quietly, and is uncommonly fuel efficient, allowing for extended missions without discovery.
The Transformer's arrival on Earth began with a seemingly unrelated chain of events. The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, selected an elite team for a space mission, among them Bumblebee, and set out from their homeworld of Cybertron over 4 million years ago. The reasons for this mission are unclear, as the records of it are corrupted and conflicting, but what is certain is that the Decepticons, led by Megatron, pursued the Autobots into space, engaged them in battle, and boarded their ship. Shortly after, both vessels suffered critical damage and were sent hurtling into the atmosphere of a nearby planet, where they crashed. The Autobot ship became embedded in the side of a dormant volcano, and the severity of the damage knocked all the members of both factions aboard into stasis. They would remain like this for 4 million years, until the volcano suddenly became active once more. The jolt reactivated the ship's computer, which began automated repairs to those aboard. However, damage to the computer caused it to be unable to tell the difference between friend and foe, and so both the Autobots and Decepticons were revived to continue their war on Earth. The Decepticons seek to drain the planet of its natural resources and energy reserves to fuel their war machine, while the Autobots have vowed to protect the planet and its inhabitants while attempting to defeat the Decepticons once and for all.
In the neverending quest for the energy sources needed for battle, the Autobots have discovered that the Decepticons are after a mysterious source of power known as Zel Quartz, located on the planet Zel Samine. Bumblebee has been selected once again to join the reconnaisance team on Zel Samine in order to prevent the Decepticons from securing the Zel Quartz. However, as soon as their vessel entered the atmosphere, everything started to go terribly wrong...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Being a 10-foot-tall transforming robot, Bumblebee has little regard for magic. While it is not unknown among Transformers in general, most regard it as superstition at worst, or inferior to technology at best, and Bumblebee is no exception. However, he will pick up a small repertoire of fighting techniques as time goes on, in addition to his innate ability to convert to vehicle mode. Bumblebee is solidly built and designed for long missions with minimal maintenance, but as a consequence was not really designed for war, so is not particularly strong nor can he take large amounts of punishment. Fortunately, he is reasonably quick, and can use his vehicle mode for even faster manuvering.
Bumblebee can equip Rifles and Heavy Weapons as weapons (which to someone of his scale, are more like handguns and rifles, respectively), but has a tendency not to carry weapons and only fight in melee when absolutely required.
