    I hope Bee never speaks again. Growing up with G1, I hated Bee. The little shit kept stealing screen time from the cooler bots. At least now he has the good graces to shut up and punch a dude in the face.

    I liked it in the movie, the random quotes made me think of the Junkions using tv quotes. But the R2D2 thing in prime is annoying as hell

    I'm glad Bumblebee doesn't speak in Prime. If he did he would probably sound whiney and naive. We already have to put up with Miko, we don't need another one of those...

    If he's not going to speak they should at least do something different with it, like have him hold up signs like Wile E. Coyote does, or those little message pennant flags Homer Simpson sometimes holds when he wants to show his support or excitement for something.

    One thing that somewhat annoyed me about Operation Bee 2 was the part at the end when Optimus said "He fixed a lot more than his Tcog" and I was expecting Bee to be driving out the of the base then suddenly realizes that he can speak again. then when they stayed on Ratchet with that corny pose, I realized OP meant Ratchet repaired his own Pride.

    But like Coconut said, he'd probably sound annoying.

    I've gotten used to the mute Bee from the movies. At first I thought it was lazy, but some interesting points of him getting emotions across with body language were brought up, so I'm alright with it in Prime. Just get used to the fact that he might be mute for the next few generations. Still, it would be cool if they let him have a voice for an episode and let Dan G. voice him.

    Sometimes when he starts talking, he just can't stop. But in all seriousness I think It's about time for a talking BB since the last one was years ago. (I miss TFA)

    He could just transform and say to Sam and Mikaela - "I'm Bumblebee from the planet Cybertron, but we have no time...come with me... get it

    Let's stick with the living threads and let the dead ones RIP.

    From the FAQ:
    Q. What is a "Zombie Thread"?
    A "Zombie thread" is any thread that has not had posts in some time, usually a year old or older, that has post that brings it back to the top of the forum. We usually frown upon the practice of bringing back old threads unless there is new information to be added.
