Bumblebee is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. His traditional veichle form is a Volkswagen Beetle, and he has the nickname Bee.
In the G1 continuity Bumblebee is destroyed by GI Joe or Heath's Head, and rebuild by Ratcher or Wreck-Gar as Goldbug, depending on if you go by the US or UK comics (circa 1987). Although, Bumblebee does appear in the Transformers Movie, set in 2007 and released in 1986. Maybe he was rebuilt again?
