Bumblebee
CharacterBumblebee is an Autobot from the Transformers series who crosses into the Evangelion universe in the story Transformers Mode "EVA". Arriving on Earth with his comrades to trace strange energy readings, he ends up running rings around a Starscream-possessed Angel in Tokyo-3.
Appearance
Bumblebee is the smallest of the Autobots shown in the crossover, and the story's artwork places him at Optimus Prime's side looking dwarfed by his leader. That slight build, tiny next to an Angel, defines how he fights.
Personality
The story casts him as quick-thinking and helpful. He treats his diminutive frame as a tactical asset rather than a weakness, and once the fighting ends he offers Misato Katsuragi a lift across the city.
History
Bumblebee lands on Earth among the Autobots investigating anomalous energy readings, only to find Tokyo-3 besieged by Angels. The group watches the ghost of Starscream seize one of the creatures, birthing the hybrid Angel-Scream. During the ensuing battle Bumblebee darts in circles around the possessed Angel, whose clumsy lunges keep missing the nimble Autobot. After Angel-Scream falls, he drives Misato over to the NERV base.
