During the war on Cybertron, Bumblebee and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] rescued [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] from a Decepticon named [[Airachnid]]. {{Storylink|Predatory}} At another point during the war, at [[Tyger Pax]], Bumblebee was captured by Decepticons and interrogated by {{p|Megatron}}. After refusing to speak, Megatron beat him and left the severely damaged Bumblebee for dead. However, a squadron of Autobots later arrived and brought him to [[Ratchet (Prime)|a field medic]], who was able to repair all but his voice box.{{Storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

After a Decepticon attack left Cliffjumper dead, Bumblebee kept an eye on the emotional Arcee and assisted her and a [[Jack Darby|human teenager]] that were being attacked by two [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]], doing his best to slow them down as Arcee found a stormdrain to do battle in. During the fight, Bumblebee accidentally stood on [[Rafael Esquivel|another boy]]’s remote control car, and apologized, before being attacked again, and kept the Vehicons from catching the escaping humans. Once [[Bulkhead (Prime) |Bulkhead]] arrived and drove off the Vehicons, he and Arcee reported the incident to Optimus, who decided that they needed to protect the two humans. Bumblebee collected Raf from his school and brought him to the Autobot base. {{Storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}}

Bumblebee first runs into [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] after they save him from some Decepticons. Ratchet tries to repair him but he's in too much of a hurry. He tells him that he is looking for an Autobot called Optimus. Optimus reveals himself, and Bumblebee tells him that [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] is dead. They continue to a small Autobot base where they receive a holographic message from [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] telling them they need the planetary cannons online. Optimus relays the message to Jetfire that Zeta Prime is dead. Bumblebee then accompanies Ratchet and Optimus on their journey to the Decagon, and helps defeat [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Interestingly, he calls Starscream a yellow-plated coward despite the fact he is yellow. This is probably just a twist on the real-life old-fashioned statement "yellow-bellied coward". Bumblebee is also yellow in the belly.

Along the way they are able to free all of the Autobots locked in the prison including [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]]. Eventually they are forced to defeat [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] and his [[Frenzy (WFC)|cas]][[Rumble (WFC)|set]][[Lazerbeak (WFC)|tes]] in order to free Zeta Prime. However, Soundwave is able to deal the fatal blow to as he escapes and Bumblebee helps take Zeta's lifeless husk back to the Autobot Council. 

After that, Bumblebee helps Optimus and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] fight [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] after he crashes down to the planet.

==Notes==
[[Image:Prime-bumblebee-1.jpg|thumb|Concept art of Bumblebee and his altmode in the ''Prime'' cartoon]]

*Bumblebee's appearance in {{prime}} is similar to his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|live-action films counterpart]].
**Bumblebee can only communicate through strange computer noises and that only the youngest member of the Autobots' Human companions can understand him, thus making him similar to a [[Mini-Con]].
**Despite being mute, due to a crushed voice box at Megatron's hand, Megatron is able to speak through Bumblebee while Megatron inhabits his mind.  

*His primary weapon in the cutscenes is the [[Plasma cannon]], but in gameplay, he starts out with the [[Energon Battle Pistol]]. This trait is shared by [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] who is also depicted as using a Plasma Cannon but starts out with a [[Scatter blaster]]. This is probably because the plasma cannon is very hard to implement properly. His abilities are Shockwave and Dash.

*Bumblebee isn't able to speak in ''[[Fall of Cybertron]]''. The game takes place after his interrogation at Tyger Pax as Ratchet says: "Nothing new", when he was checking on his vocal processor's condition.

*In "[[Operation Bumblebee, Part 1]]", it is revealed that Bumblebee transforms into an Urbana 500, a fictional car.
