    I am the only one who wants Bee to remain mute. And, I assume, if Bee is to be the leader while Optimus is in space, that the Autobots would react the way they did when all of them were in hiding and Bumblebee was in command.

    i want him to remain mute as well -- it's cute

    but that you also raise a good question; how can he be the leader if he can't even speak properly? It seems like Bee will be forced to be a high #2 but never a true #1 because you can't really have scenes of him exchanging dialogue with, say, Galvatron for example...

    or maybe one can..idk..but as of right now, i am led to believe that a new leader will emerge on Earth..perhaps Ultra Magnus?

    So much this.

    Radio-speaking has done pretty well, so maybe that. I don't know.

    Perhaps. I'm personally hoping Prime meets new Autobots in space as opposed to Bumblebee and friends meeting them on Earth.

    Um...Lets try to focus less on bumblebee, and more on every other bot who doesn't get the spotlight...

    Bumblebee gets enough screen time. Also, I couldn't take a movie leader seriously if they spoke with soundbytes through the radio.

    Oh it's plausible they can have same amount of spotlight as Bumblebee being a leader. Nothing says it can't.

    Assuming the next film is Earth without Optimus, he will almost definitely be second in command and then grow to become the leader. I honestly don't mind him in the films, in Prime he get the hell out but I actually laughed out loud at his scene in KSI and it shows he is inmature and needs at least one film prior before he can lead anyone.

    Prime out, if he is, is a great opportunity in general to give these guys some real focus time, I like this groups potential it just needs maybe a.... Jazz type character.. maybe someone like SoundBlaster.

    I would prefer they kill him and shift the focus to somebody else, like Hound.

    The less Bumblebrows the better.

    (Altho he was a little more tolerable in AoE than in RotF or DotM)

    You should know that Bumblebee is basically immortal.

    I can just see Bay and Kruger explaining that, due to Bee handling the Cube and the way in which the Cube responded to him, it chose to make him immortal and destined to lead a reborn Cybertron. Bee will be Primus reincarnated. :lol

    If Bumblebee is going to be a temporary leader, I hope he uses clips from the Braveheart speech to rally the Autobots in Transformers 5.

    In Transformers: Prime Bee got his voice at the end and almost became the leader, so if he is to be the leader in TF5, he FINALLY should get his voice, or at least they could make him a new voice box, that would explain why he longer sounds like Mark Ryan

    Nope. Keep be as just a scout. Being a leader is fucking stupid. Would you give a squad leader, the authority over a whole platoon?

    Bee is the new Hot Rod. Deal with it.

    I love the Bee.
