Don't make fun of him, he's got Armadilloberger's Syndrome.
Bump is exceedingly reserved in character. He rarely shows any extremities in emotion in any way, be it positive or negative. He believes only in science and considers Cybertronian religions and beliefs to be nothing more than over-hyped fairy tales.
The only time Bump is really happy is when he’s retreated into his own private little world of theorems, where he can perform all the experiments he wants without the distractions of others. Though quiet and often times shy, Bump is still good-natured and respectful. Though responsible for many of their greatest weapons, he left the Maximal army when he grew tired of being limited to constructing machines of war. He now works on commission and only on projects that catch his interest. He's quite frugal with his pay and invests it all right back into his studies.
Bump possesses many advanced sensors in his hands and is a quick-draw champion, but has very little actual combat experience.
Fiction
Beast Wars Neo animation
- Voice actor: Eiji Takemoto (Japanese)
Bump was a civilian scientist with no taste for warfare, so he immersed himself in researching the desert planet of Tasmo. Despite his civilian status, he brooked no interruption of his work, and would respond forcefully to such interference with his Claw Blaster beam gun and morningstar-like Chain Bomber weapons.

Beast Wars Neo manga
IDW Beast Wars: The Ascending
Bump was hired by Lio Convoy for a rather unenviable task. After helping Big Convoy locate Lio's crew, he was told to use the Angolmois that Ravage acquired from Rartorarta to develop a cure. The unenviable part: He needed to make enough for all of Cybertron.
Sigh. Unicron and his accursed vessel.
After Shokaract was defeated, Bump finished the first batch of antidote. He could start mass-producing as soon as he had a proper lab. However, Megatron had other plans... The Ascending
