    I think Bumblebee's main weapon was more energy based, just going from what i saw in both movies.

    Apparently its plasma based, so it fires balls of superheated matter. Bumblebee probably needs to produce the stuff to operate it, since all weapons need "ammo". Lasers need batteries, guns need bullets, and plasma cannons need plasma. Bumblebee has to produce the plasma some way, doesn't he?

    It was "explained" in the comics between the movies. Fingernails was one explanation. With enough energon just about anything could be whipped up.

    As Ironhide said-
    We have within ourselves the ability to ingest raw materials and rapidly reproduce a wide variety of necessary resources depending on the necessities of the moment. Our advanced design and construction demands that each of us be able to repair and replenish much of which we are composed of and which we use. All of us have these abilities, though some are more adept at certain aspects than others. Mine is weaponry. Ratchet's is repair.

    This thread is suddenly making me wonder about possible in-universe explanations at to how my ammo is maintained at an infinite level when I key in those cheat codes for my computer/video games.
