Capture all of the escaped Alchemor prisoners (succeeded)

What failed with the character?

He went from a complex and likeable character to a whiney baby who bossed around his team and acted like a complete moron.

He bickered like a seven year old about how he should be the leader over Optimus.

Type of Scrappy?

Derailed Leader

“	As team leader, I agree.	„
	~ Bumblebee undermining Optimus.

Bumblebee is the main protagonist of the infamous 2015 television series Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

He is the leader of the Bee Team and Optimus Prime's former scout. After traveling Earth, he and his ragtag team set out to capture all of the escapees of the prison ship known as the Alchemor.

He was voiced by Will Friedle.

What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]

His character has been completely assassinated, going from a loyal and powerful warrior to a whiney idiot.
He constantly whines about how no one respects him as a leader, which gets old.
He's extremely possessive and controlling of his team.
His dynamic with Optimus is absolutely horrible, as Bumblebee always argues with Optimus and acts like he's trying to upstage him. Bumblebee would never treat Optimus like this.
His design looks ugly, with him barely resembling the character. His neck also juts out of the back of his head, which looks wrong.
He is a noticeably worse fighter than he was in Prime, struggling to take out even basic Decepticon thugs. Compare this to Prime Bumblebee, who took out Megatron.
Outside of one episode, he never mentions Raph, despite the two having an unbreakable bond in Prime.
Like the rest of the show, his attempts at humor are cringeworthy and childish.
While he does develop a bit, it isn't enough as he's still a self-intitled brat by the end of the series.
He's overall one of the main reasons Robots in Disguise 2015 was as bad as it was.
