In Prime's absence Bumblebee took command and in TF RiD we see Bumblebee step up again as Autobot leader. Even when Prime returned he didn't usurp Bumblebee and resume his role as leader. This was important and I'm glad that they didn't just return Optimus Prime to the status quo. I quite liked how RiD was not an "Optimus vs Megatron" show.
I think we will find that this version of Bee is supposed to correlate somewhat with the Movie one coming out later in the year. Hence why he is talking through the radio again. I would not be surprised to find that Movie Bbee has amnesia too and they have inadvertently revealed a plot point
