Motto: "You can't hit what you can't see!"
Weapon: Twin Sonic Cannons
I figured it was done as a symbolic gesture rather than out of any form of necessity. "Take the kids, will ya? Here's what I think of YOU!" Bumblebee seemed to have a 'cheeky little monkey' vibe going at that point.
Life can be pretty sweet when your alt-mode is a B-2 Stealth Bomber.

And for those of you who are wondering... I'M A GIRL!

I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally.

I agree. We're over-thinking something that was nothing more than a gag. I personally found it funny that Simmons got "peed" on by the very transformer he'd soon capture, but that's all it was to me...a rather gross funny.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

All warlocks are wizards but not all wizards are warlocks. A warlock is an evil wizard trained in dark combat arts (summoning monsters, fire spells etc)


Well that makes a bit more sense.

For those who don't know, the term "A Wizard did it" is used when obsessive fanboys begin questioning and/or over analyzing something that doesn't really require it. Like Bumblebee pissing on a guy.

They're basically like DNA based computing organisms so you would think that if they intercepted earth language through the world-wide web. You would think they came across some other information during their interception which may would be how to urinate like the humans.

That term would be greatly useful on Star Wars forums, where the tendancy to overanalyze is huge.

An in-universe explaination of why Bumblebee peed on that guy:

He was marking his territory. In the wild, when a Transformer wants to establish a territory, he will 'mark' an area with his own 'urine.' He does this to create a boundry and to advertize his fitness to any females in the area. Bumblebee was following instinct. Any ground-based Tfs will obviously do this on the ground, but any flying jet-based Tfs will do this at and around their roosts. Jet-based Tfs live in huge noisy colonies, where their collective smell and sound will carry on for miles, and any female of that species will be able to tell from a long way off how fit the males are.

That would kind of contradict Megatron's arrogance.

Megatron: Miserable worm!

Sam: At least I don't piss on things so people won't take them!
