if *I* were in charge of making a bumblebee centered project in the mid 2010's, instead of making him a teacher for younger characters in a post war setting, i would have used him to explore the war from the perspective of the youngest and most vulnerable autobot. i want to go back to cybertron and see how bumblebee, the kind and gentle spirit, has only ever known a war torn world and yet he still wants to fight with everything in him to get a glimpse of what once was or at least make it possible for those who will come after him.

i want to see him being trained amidst the horrors of war, desperate to fill a role anywhere he can, hearing stories from older and wiser characters and distant memories of his world before the war, even before the underlying conflicts that caused it. i want to see him learn about optimus and become more and more fascinated by him before finally getting to meet him. they fight side by side briefly and optimus chooses bumblebee personally to be his team's scout. story can end with the beginning of g1 where they crash and wake up on earth and look out at the sunrise on the horizon together or something idk. this would be a fire videogame.
