"Bumblebee!" How great is that?

If it's the clip I think it is, I was actually a bit disappointed that they've got Bumblebee just sitting in the garage like an inanimate car (or like the Gen1 Dinobots, who were stored in a cupboard when not in use). That'd be like any of us just sitting in a room all day just staring at a wall until we get called on by someone else. Not very 'realistic' by the movie writers.

Weeeeeeell, there does seem to be a suggestion that TFs tolerate long periods of inactivity in either vehicle mode (in disguise) or protoform mode. Almost like hibernation. Jetfire would seem to be an example of this.
