"Sent to earth by Optimus Prime ahead of the other Autobots, this tough robot's job is to what he does best: Gather information, find the keeper of the secrets of the Allspark and remain hidden. Bumble Bee works best in silence and solitude, acting as an unseen guardian over his assigned target. Don't let the fact that he likes to remain hidden fool you though-when it comes down to it, he rushes in, both plasma cannons blazing!"
This was the bio of Bumblebee on the Transformers game site and I'm assuming this reflects the movie's Bumblebee, so I have one question and one question alone: Why the hell did they turn Bumblebee into Snake Eyes?
*Spoiler Alert*
If any of you have read the Movie Prequel Comics then you have seen where BB gets smished by Megatron and can no longer talk... what in the world? All I remember Bumble Bee doing in half the cartoons is TALK!!!
