What I liked about the original G1 bee was that he was a bit tubby but was valiant nonetheless. He looked after the fleshbags carefully and had a sense of humour. He was basically the kid brother of the Autobots and the big brother of their humans.

I prefer him over the "warrior" style bees, to me they seem a different character. I'd even suggest the RID2015 'bee was supposed to be Sunstreaker, Sideswipe's brother, but some TV dude figured the name "Bumblebee" was more marketable?
