Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime, also known in Japan as Convoy (コンボイ), is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Transformers franchise. Generally depicted as a brave and noble leader, Optimus Prime is the supreme commander of the Autobots in their fight against the Decepticons. The Transformers characters were developed for the American market after Hasbro representatives visited the 1983 Tokyo Toy Show. Some designs were modified and the coloring was changed; while the Diaclone version was intended to be a piloted mecha, the Transformers version was a sentient robot. The popularity of the Transformers toys resulted in comics, movies, and a TV series.

Bumblebee (Transformers)

Bumblebee is a fictional robot character appearing in the many installments of the Transformers franchise. The character is a member of the Autobots — a group of sentient, self-configuring, modular, extraterrestrial robotic lifeforms. In the original line of toys and in the animated series, Bumblebee is a small yellow Volkswagen Beetle. In the live-action films, he has appeared as vehicles inspired by Chevrolet muscle cars, with the live-action film versions being a yellow Camaro with black racing stripes. The original vehicle-mode design was based on a classic European Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. The character is named after the bumblebee, a black-and-yellow striped insect, which inspired his paint scheme. Bumblebee is a fan-favorite, and appears in most of the series, later becoming the main protagonist in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Bumblebee, and Transformers: Cyberverse. Bumblebee has also taken the form of a Willys Jeep in the 2018 film, Bumblebee.

His alternate modes have included a Walther P38 handgun, a particle-beam weapon, a telescopic laser cannon, a Cybertronian jet,various tanks and a rusty,beat-up Mack Granite tanker truck depending on which continuity he is depicted in.
