I had an odd theory looking over the TFE episodes (and I am writing this at like 3am so someone else could probably put it a lot better than I can)
What if Bee was a Decepticon at some point?
There’s a little bit of evidence for it - he seems to be on personal terms with a lot of the Decepticons, to the point of apologizing to one of the Insecticons during the battle for the Allspark. He has Decepticon tech - maybe Optimus gave it to him, I’m not sure? Either way, he seems to really know his way around it. Swindle seems to have a very personal vendetta against him, specifically referring to the Battle of the Bay, which is definitely an important battle as it’s when Megatron defected and Dottie lost her leg.
And then there’s the whole thing with Breakdown! I could be remembering this wrong, but does Breakdown mention Optimus “getting between” them or something? They could have been friends pre-war of course, and that’s more likely, but it just makes me wonder.
I’m sure there are other examples. And perhaps he was a spy instead. Perhaps I’m looking too much into this, haha. It just seems like it would fit into Earthspark’s theme of change, and would be something very new with Bumblebee, which they seem to be trying to do with a lot of the classic characters.

wait i have something even angsty-er for Jason and losing dogs!!
god if only i could draw i'd make an animatic istg. Anyways, here's "i bet on losing dogs" for jason angst and a bit of jaytim:
My baby, my baby (Ooh-oh)
“You're my baby”, say it to me (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Young Jason looking after his mum, pulling a blanket over her as she sleeps on the couch.
Running his hands through her hair, the camera moves to show Jason frowning.
Baby, my baby (Ooh, ooh-oh)
Tell your baby that I'm your baby (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
There are half-empty pill packets and needles and other rubbish littering the coffee table and Jason swipes it all off into a garbage bag. Camera angle shifts to show a portrait in a frame, showing his mother smiling and holding a much smaller Jason who’s also smiling.
I bet on losing dogs
Fade out to a small robin laying on the ground, feathers ruffled, wing very clearly broken. Small hands come into frame to gently cup the bird and lift it off the ground.
I know they're losing and I pay for my place by the ring
Jason is shown feeding it water through a measuring syringe and offering it seed from his palm for it to peck at.
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
Frame of just the small bird’s eye.
I'll be there on their side
Frame of just Jason’s eye, sudden flash to Jason’s eye wet with tears under a broken domino mask.
I'm losing by their side
A fresh, teeny-tiny grave in a garden is in frame, a makeshift little stick cross standing in the dirt above it. Flickers to the glass tube in which Jason’s robin costume is kept, clearly labeled ‘Robin’.
Aah, aah-ah, aah-ah
Aah, aah, aah-ah, aah-ah
Montage of Jason helping people in his Red Hood gear.
Starting with a flashbang, blood seeping into the concrete of an alleyway, a knife lying by a man's lower legs, as two small children cling to Jason; who tosses his gun and gets down on a knee to make sure they’re okay.
2nd is Jason with only his domino mask on, bringing food to a homeless woman despite being clearly injured himself, holding his side and smiling at her.
3rd is Jason talking with BIzzaro in that one comic, assuring him that Jason is his friend.
4th is Jason pulling a blanket around Roy, who’s fallen asleep sitting up with a bottle in his hand, Jason has a sad look on his face as he glances down at the coffee table -which flickers to his mothers table and back again- and moves to swipe the empty bottles littering it into a garbage bag.
Will you let me, baby, lose on losing dogs?
Fade out. A cigarette is pulled from a half-empty box.
I know they're losing and I pay for my place by the ring
The same cigarette is lit between freshly split lips. Zoom out to see Jason sitting on the edge of a roof as smoke floats around him. We see someone's silhouette standing on the edge of a slightly higher building across the way and a few buildings over.
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
Zooms in just enough to show Red Robin, dropping something over the edge and watching it, then moving to touch at his domino mask
I wanna feel it
Red Robin drops. Just falls over the edge like water over a waterfall.
I bet on losing dogs
Tim is smiling, a large scarred hand holding cupping one side of his face
I always want you when I'm finally fine
The camera shifts to show Jason with an even wider, truly happy smile as they draw closer and their lips meet.
How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I cum
Hands are holding Jason’s on either side of his head as tears spill down his cheeks, one of the hands coming up to hold Jason’s face before we shift to see Tim smiling down at him softly.
Someone to watch me die
A television screen where whatever's happening is blurred out except the headline “Jason Todd, ward of Bruce Wayne, dies at 15 in a…”
Someone to watch me die
Bloody and limp, Red Robin is being cradled in strong arms with a speech bubble exclaiming “TIM!”
Jason has thrown his helmet off and tears are spilling out of him like rain over Tim’s pale cheeks. The blood is pooling further out around them and seeping into Jason's suit. Another speech bubble, frantic “No! No, Tim!”
I bet on losing dogs
Close up of Jason’s wet, desperate face with the speech bubble “...Tim... please don’t leave me...”
Fade out to the small grave in the garden for the robin Jason buried as a kid.
Then fade to black.
