Disclaimer: Even though I find it pointless, I have to say this anyway *sigh* as you could have already have guessed, I don't own either Wall-E or Transformers (just the films I bought). they bleong to their respective owners who get paid moe then I do ^^;
Warning: This contains bad language (actualy the only swear word mention is 'Slag' which appearnetly how Transformers swear *shrug* who knew), there's also violence (um somewhere, evnetually?)....Actually the only warning I should probably mention is, this fic contains yaoi/slash between to Autobots. So if you hate anything that involves gays. I'm sorry, but you might want to go look for another fic that has more action and less love.
Summary: When the Transformers left Cybertron as they thought in the war, making it unsuitiable to live. Before leaving the Autobots built BMBUL-Bots that were made to repair and ebuild the planet so it can eventually be repopulated again. However over the years, the BMBL-Bs eventually went offline, except for one curious one, who mistakes his name for Bumblebee, instead of his actual brand name. Upon finding a organic plant, Bumblebee's life is changed once a bot named Prowl that arrive son Cybertron, looking for something.
Info: This fic was inspired by the film Wall-E I got for Christmas. I just recently got into Transformers animated and I couldn't help but notice how similar Wall-E and Eve are to Bumblebee and Prowl. Bumblebee like Wall-E is small, yellow, curious and fascinated by new things. While Prowl like Eve is facinated by nature (for different reasons though ^^; ), they seem elegent and clam, but suddenly become fierce and deadly when provked. As well as being smart, hard working and resourceful.
BUMBL- B by Saffire Blade
Chapter One: Cybertron
10 billion years ago when space and time first began a form of independent life was born as well, capable of granting life to any electronic and mechanical objects alike. A powerful force called the AllSpark, gave life to the first Transformers on a foreign world that would later be called the Planet Cybertron. No transformer knew where this power came from or how it was able to give them life, they only knew that the AllSpark lived within the planet Cybertron itself and was a form of life that gave up a part of its self as the source of life for all Transformers. However the Transformers soon learned how to harness its power and create more of their kind. Over time a fight split the Transformer into two sides, the Decepticons believed that it was their destiny to harness all of the AllSpark's life force and take over the rest of the universe as its rightful Masters. The Autobots however believed the AllSpark wished for them to watch over of humanity, as protectors of the Universe. This lead to conflict and after years of fighting, an endless war took place with no side winning or losing. It was thought the war would go on for an eternity, with the rumour that who ever possessed the AllSpark would win the war and decide the rest of the world's fate.
According to Legend, as the war continued the AllSpark soon realized no creature, machine or organism (or both in this case) should be allowed to control life, so with its remaining power it left Cybertron, so no Transformer could ever control it's will again. Travelling the endless entity of space the AllSpark was soon lost in any unknown galaxy where it couldn't be found. Still, the Autobots and Decepticons continued fighting, but with their planet destroyed and uninhabitable without the AllSpark. The war was spread out into the vast regions of space and Cybertron was left to rot. Knowing it would be nothing more then a lifeless planet and eventually, a forgotten memory to all Transformers. With one last act before following the Decepticons into space, the Autobot built maintenance robots called BUMBL-Bs (Base and Ulterior Maintenance Building Licensed - Bots) from the remaining Sparks they possessed, created to clean, build and repair their injured planet, so one day they could return and reclaim their home once the war was over.
The BUMBL-B bots were small, yellow, primitive Autobots that could transform into cars. While challenged in size, they were fast, confident and hard workers, with only one purpose, to clean and rebuild whenever necessary. So while the other bots continued fighting, the BUMBL-B bots continued fixing and repairing Cybertron, unaware of anything beyond what they were programmed to do.
To this day the war still goes on, with no side giving in or over powering the other. Soon all Transformers only knew of war and couldn't imagine a world without it. The AllSpark's place in history soon fizzled into a Legend, the Legend soon faded into a Myth, and then the myth became nothing more than a story, a story for Transformer to give them a glimmer of hope for a world of peace. Sadly there was no sparkle of hope left in any Transformer, except for a few who have wasted their life's searching in vain for the AllSpark, travelling to each corner of the cosmos for just one sign that it really does exist, that its more then just a tale for naïve robots.
Sadly, back on Cybertron the BMBL-B bots did not have enough life force to sustain them for long periods of time and over the years each one's Spark dimmed until they stood frozen in mid work, like statues. Of course by that time it didn't matter, Cybertron was wiped out of the memory of all computer databases, no one had any reason to go back or wish to return to a life less wasteland. Yet after all those years, one little, curious robot was still active, still fixing the planet, still living life to its' fullest, the only way he knew how.
"Alright check it!" A small yellow robot with a red Autbot symbol on his body, shouted above a pile of lost machinery "the fastest and coolest bot on wheels in about to break his record!" The bot pressed a button inside his chest and rock music started to play "Alright BumbleBee, time to shine." Jumping into the air yellow Autobot transformed into a small car with black racing stripes and drove through the empty scrap yard he was located at. The car bot raced through the piles of scrap metal and parts like obstacle courses on a race track, making slick turns and performing stunts.
"YEAH! Now for the big finish!" Increasing speed the bot drove away from the wreckage and drove to an incomplete bridge, with a large gap between each side of the chasm below. "OK, you can do this, you're the fastest thing on wheels!" Full max, the bot launched himself off the makeshift ramp and flew into the air with the bottomless chasm glaring at him from below.
"I'm gonna make it!" Bumblebee spoke too soon as his weight pulled him back down to Cybertron, "oh no, Oh no! OH NO! I'm not gonna make it!" At the split second he activated his booster jets and propelled himself foreword, just enough for his front wheel to connect against the solid floor on the bridge and pull himself up.
Pulling into a skid the yellow Autobot transformed back into his real form and gazed at how close he was to death before he raised his fist and checked the timer. His face broke into a grin "Who's the bot?! I'm the bot! Who's the fastest thing on wheels? I am! I broke my record, I broke my record" Letting the last song finish, Bumblebee performed one last dance before pressing the off button.
Turning around Bumblebee looked around the broken planet of Cybertron, with no other bot to congratulate him on his success or just wish him good morning. Bumblebee's face immediately dropped as did his mood, "yeah, goes me."
Bumblebee was a confident and resourceful robot but over the years he yearned for company, a companion, a protégé, a friend. He just wanted someone who would always be beside him, cheer him up when he was down, laugh at his jokes and always be there in his time of need. Unfortunately it seemed Bumblebee would never find the certain someone.
Shaking off those negative thoughts Bumblebee grinned proudly again "No point moping about something you can't have, besides with me, myself and I here, what else could good all Bumblebee need?" Laughing to himself Bumblebee's hands folded in and they were replaced by two spark zappers. "Ok, time to fix this bridge and show why they call me bumblebee!" Shooting at the nearby stack of metal folds, Bumblebee got to work on repairing the bridge.
Many hours later, the sun started to set and Bumblebee had made remarkable progress in rebuilding the bridge. After making the final measures, Bumblebee deemed it a success and decided he was done for the day.
"Phew" the bot sighed in relieve, "I'd call that a successful day, now there's just my favourite part." An evil smirked spread across his face "Find new stuff!" He grinned like an idiot before changing into car mode and going off to the abandoned piles of machine parts back in the scrap yard to collect some new toys.
"Now let's see what we got?" Changing back into bot mode Bumblebee scanned each pile and dug through them until he found something he liked "What's this, empty cans? Don't want those. A key lock? Now why would I want one of those? A spare wheel? Not my size" The yellow bot was getting bored of this particular pile and was about to investigate the next one when his fingers ran across something that gave off a musical sound
"Huh?" Digging through some more, the yellow bot scooped out a spring that fit in his hands, adjusting it back a forth in his palms he soon found how intriguing the simple device was. Unaware the simple spring was in fact a slinky. As he played for a bit longer the spring slipped out of his palms and he watched as it dropped from one solid block of metal to another, like the spring was doing summersaults down the make shift stairs. Reaching the bottom the spring stopped flipping and shook back and forth "Cool…Let's do that again!"
He raced down the pile and deposited the spring invention in his chest compartment, with all the other knickknacks he would collect that day. The yellow bot spent the next hour searching through each forgotten pile with constant curiosity and boredom until he found something he liked.
"What?" The yellow bot gazed at one particular item in his newest pile and picked up a slightly scratched, but still intact disk "This isn't just a CD." He held the fragile disk in his palm and stared with amazement, "this couldn't actually be a, a, a…NEW GAME!!!!" He jumped in the air cheering like a child who just got everything he wanted for Christmas, singing, "I got a new game, I got a new game." By that point Bumblebee started street dancing "and I just can't wait play it." He suddenly stopped jumping around, "why the slag am I waiting? Let's go home right now; I got just about everything I want for the day."
Transforming back into his car mode the yellow bot drove off with the dust trialling behind him, only for the force of the impact to cause the fragile pile of rubbish to be blown back as well. Stopping for that brief second Bumblebee was whispering in his head 'Please don't, please don't fall'. But it seemed no one above was watching out for the yellow bot as the pile collapsed under its own weight." No! No! No!" Bee's day got worse as the makeshift pile hit the one next to it and like a chain of dominos each pile fell one after the other in cycle until every last one was destroyed and all the rubbish was left scattered all around the yard.
Bumblebee stood in shock before started panicking "Oh, no! The other BUMBL-B bots are so gonna kill me!" His knees collapsed and Bumblebee kneeled on the floor like a sad puppy "there's no way I'll get this all cleaned up in time, not before the other bots start their shift." Now Bumblebee collapsed and he lied down on his back, spread out as he sighed in defeat. The sun had almost set and the night sky was slowly taking over the skies, "I am so deactivated." He moaned before turning away from the orange sky that kept mocking him.
Glancing over at one of the piles he wrecked Bumblebee was shocked to see something green unburied by all the trash. Normally everything on Cybertron was grey and metallic, but this, thing, was green, fragile and something else Bumblebee didn't know even existed.
Crawling over Bumblebee gazed down at a thin green object that sprouted out of the ground. Bumblebee forgot about all the damages and was completely fascinated by his small discovery. The green object sprouted out of the ground, as if rooted there. It was made of a thin vine that grew upwards, with smaller thins coming out of it sides, with round edges on each tip.
"So cool" Bumblebee grinned, he was tempted to pluck this new object out of the ground and add it to his collection. But he was smart enough to worry if the green thing was more fragile then it looked. Bumblebee scooped his hands into the ground and lifted it along with the plant, so no to harm it. "Don't worry little guy, I'm not gonna hurt ya." Depositing his newest collection into an empty tin, Bumblebee picked it up and placed it gently in his compartment.
"You're coming home with me!" Bumblebee grinned before changing into car mode and driving away from the empty fields, to the large main city, in which he and all his other robot duplicates lived in. Forgetting about the destroyed yard he was suppose to be cleaning.
Bumblebee quickly made his way through the high streets of Cybertron, but not fast enough to knock over the green object inside of him 'I wonder what this thing is, it doesn't seem metallic, but something else all together'.
Bumblebee quickly lost his train of thought again when he saw a dead BUMBL-B bot like himself, only this one was still and lifeless. Clearly its Spark had been used up and the bot was now dead in mid progress of repairing the highway.
"Hey buddy how's it going?!" The yellow bot laughed as he transformed back into robot mode, but his dead replica didn't move. "Awe, come on now, don't tell me you didn't miss you're all pal Bumblebee, did ya?" He laughed as if not realizing the robot wouldn't comply. It was almost as if Bumblebee couldn't comprehend that his 'friend' was dead, and by the looks of it, he had been for several years now.
"You are not gonna believe this, I just found a new game! Speaking of which I got all those two player modes waiting at home and we haven't played one, ever!" He glared at the robot who still didn't move "I know, I know, it's not your fault, we work different schedules and every time I change my breaks you seem to do the same thing buddy." He laughed out loud punching the dead copy in on the shoulder, nearly breaking its rusted arm. "From now on we need to tell each other in advance when we pulled stunts like this, otherwise we'll never get any time together." He sighed, "Ok, I see you need to get back to work. I hope you enjoyed your break, cause I'm gonna enjoy mine" He chuckled "Oh! I was also wondering if I could ask a big favour. My wheels a wearing and I used my last spare, so do you think I can borrow yours? It's just until I dig up a new one of myself" the robot remained silent "You're the best!" Bumblebee grinned before gliding behind his still friend and took his spare wheel. "Thanks man, I'll give it back as soon as I can. I'll see ya tomorrow and you better get to work, I'm fixing things like there's no tomorrow and you still haven't completed this motorway. What's wrong? You used to be as fast as me" Bumblebee chuckled, but quickly caught himself, "I'm joking, I'm joking, you're the man. Everyone has an off day, just don't get behind."
With that being said Bumblebee turned to leave but suddenly stopped in his tracks and turn around again. "Hey, I'm having a party tonight with all the other bots; it's at my place so you and the other guys can come over if you're not doing anything. Just remember, I'm the cool yellow one, so you can't miss me in a crowd." He laughed before changing into vehicle mode and driving off, while the replica still didn't move.
"He hates me I know it" The bot growled "I just wish I knew what I did, its not as if it's by accident are shifts keep shifting, why is he avoiding me?" Bumblebee sighed, not comprehending that his partner was actually offline "Oh well, I'm sure this party will cheer him up!" He grinned before speeding up.
Driving down the clear but dead streets of Cybertron the yellow bot made his way to the biggest city on Cybertorn where all the BUMBL-B bots had access to, once all the other bots left, giving them free run of the place. However the lights flickered from the small amount of energy left, the streets were filled with offline BUMBL-B bots and everything was rusted beyond repair, all Autobots and appliances alike were ready to fall apart.
As Bumblebee drove through the streets to the centre of the empty shopping centre that he made as his home, he waved at all his friends that populated the streets He greeted each on without and clue that they were all dead and lifeless. The isolation of no other bots after so many years had twisted Bumblebee's head, not wanting to face the fact that everyone he knew was gone, that everything he was fixing was pointless, that his purpose was now pointless.
Opening the glass doors of his 'home', Bumblebee wondered through the abandoned shops of the city's centre, before going down the main stairs to the storage room underground that he had now made as his home.
The underground was filled with decorative lights for celebrations and special events; the empty shelves for stock had been replaced with spare parts for himself and all the knickknacks he collected over the years. Each object Bumblebee collected was precious to him, even if he didn't know what they were or what purpose they all had. Finding an empty shelf in the back Bumblebee deposited his newest discoveries, careful with each one, as if they were diamonds or gems.
Noticing a ray of light above an empty place on the shelves Bumblebee glanced up seeing a hole in the ceiling that left a small ray of moon light pass through. Bumblebee shrugged it off as he placed the green object under the rays "You've been buried for a long time, it wouldn't be fair if I kept you in the dark all over again." The green artefact kept still and Bumblebee grinned as if it just said thank you to him.
"Well everyone knows about the party, everything's been set up in the next room, so all that's left to do is wait for the guest to arrive." Bumblebee suddenly yawned, "Wow, I really have been working hard today. I think I'll just watch a few movies before the others show up." Dragging his exhausted feet over to an arm chair he dug up one day, Bumblebee went over all old films he'd collected over the years, not to mention music and games, before deciding on what to watch. Inserted the DVD Bumblebee watch one of his favourite films, until his eyes became too heavy and he fell asleep in his chair, with the bright light of the television screen lighting his face.
The next morning bumblebee's alarm went off and the small yellow bot slowly aroused. "Come on, just five more cycles," Bumblebee mumbled, but the alarm only grew louder with each passing second. Bumblebee leaned over to turn off the alarm, only to lean over too far and fall out of his chair. "Oomph!" Bumblebee landed face first on the floor and moaned in pain as the alarm grew louder "Where'd my alarm go?" Looking up Bumblebee saw his alarm was on the other side of the room, "and when did I fall asleep in my chair?" The bot asked before getting up and going over to his bed and finally turning off the alarm.
"Ok, what happened last night?" Bumblebee asked himself not realizing he fell asleep in his chair in the middle of a video. "That's right!" The bot grinned triumphantly, "the party last night really wore me out and the guys were nice enough to help me clean up. Man I must have been so tired after that I couldn't make it all the way to bed." Bumblebee laughed at his own story, his processor refusing to believe he was alone in this world with no purpose in life.
Stretching Bumblebee changed his dead tire for the new wheel his friend let him 'borrow'. "Oh well, my chair is way more comfy then my bed, I might just sleep there from now on," the yellow bot chuckled as he got ready for another day's worth of work. "And today's the day I have to start rebuilding that control tower on the other side of the city." With that said Bumblebee took one last look at his collection before locking up and going to work.
For the whole of the day Bumblebee was using his spark blaster to connect streams of metal together as he fixed up the communications tower that had originally been blown up during the war. But, being high up in the air with no roads or space Bumblebee was getting bored and really wanted to give his wheels a few spins.
Glancing around Bumblebee couldn't see anyone below him, or working with him on the tower so he mentally grinned to himself "Break time!"
Jumping off the tower Bumblebee transformed into his car mode and used the support frames and flooring as a ramp Bumble launched himself of the tower and drove down the empty streets until he found something to do.
His enthusiasm was short-lived once Bumblebee grew bored of racing around the same old tracks he made for himself and dared to go farther into the wasteland where no BMBL-B was assigned to go since, there was nothing to fix in this particular region. Bumblebee's circuits however had been long since messed up with, so he did everything on impulse with no respect for following the rules, like his original programming that would have forced him. Driving through the sandy desert Bumblebee found many creators where the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons clearly took place. Instead of thinking back on it, the yellow bot decided to uses his wheels in robots mode and like a skateboarder performed various tricks in the craters as if they were a type of ramp to be played on.
"Free style!" bumblebee yellowed enjoying himself as he kept performing many more tricks, with various turns, summersaults and any other move he could think of to add to the rhythm.
Eventually the sun had reached its highest point on Cybertron and Bumblebee knew his break went on longer then he originally intended. "Awe man, if the boss found out I didn't complete the tower by the end of today he'll be furious" Seeing that as his cue to get back to work Bumblebee prepared to change back into car mode, only to catch a red glowing dot on the floor "what?"
Bumblebee inspected the flashing red dot and when he tried to grab, it was then he realized it was some kind of light, a beacon maybe? The light flickered a bit more, before moving away into the distance and away from the city.
"Hey, where you going?" Bumbled asked before transforming back into his car mode and followed the dot further into the deserted battle ground.
For several yards Bumblebee chased the flashing light, not once letting it out of his sight. He eventually saw more lights appear around the one he was chasing and all of them formed a giant circle that slowly grew smaller in diameter.
"Alright you little guys, where are we going" Bumblebee asked aloud again until the dots formed a perfect circle in the middle of nowhere. Bumblebee cautiously transformed back into robot mode and gazed at the ever shifting red dots as they kept their circle, while a roaring noise enfolded over the planet. "OK I have the dots all in one place, now where the source of the light? And more importantly, where is that annoying sound coming from?!" glancing up Bumblebee froze once he saw a spaceship coming in for a landing, where the red indicators were, which he was now standing inside of!
Bumblebee instantly panicked and tried to run out of the circle, only to be surrounded by a blazing fire from the three jets that came to land. Realizing he was about to be melted to death, Bumblebee activated his sparks and aimed them at the floor, the blasts formed a hole for him to quickly jump in and acts as a small protection from the intense heat.
As the mysterious space ship landed on top of the small yellow bot, the jets eventually turned off and the ground began to cool. From its place the doors opened and a small black and golden coloured, robotic motorcycle without any kind of driver rolled out from inside, down the extended ramp, where the bike stood still as it shined from the sun's glare.
Digging himself out of the hole that was now melted over with molten rock, Bumblebee was perfectly safe and was about to swear at the tops of his lungs to the slagging driver that nearly killed him. Only to stop himself when he saw the black and gold motor bike roll out from inside the ship. Bumblebee couldn't stop himself from awing at the sight of the bike, it was clean unlike himself, polished, smooth and without a dent or mark on its surface.
Bumblebee gasped seeing the bike was in fact a Transformer like himself, since the small bike suddenly unfolded to form a tall yet slim robotic figure, with the Autobot symbol. The bot was at least one head taller then Bumblebee (which the yellow bot did not appreciate), he was slender and elegant in his appearance, cool and collected. He glanced at his surrounded with an uncaring glance before walking with such quietness and grace in his steps, as if he was moving in stealth.
"Who's that?" Bumblebee awed once he caught the Autobot's face. He had a sharp visor that look like sunglasses and long but sharp face and smooth yet harsh features that just drew Bumblebee in. He didn't know if the heavens answered his prayers for a companion or wther this was just a coincidence, Bumblebee just wanted to know who this new Transformer was and why he was here.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. I've never witten anything besides my orignal work and Yu-Gi-Oh fanfics (I'm an anime fangirl). But I hope I made Bumblebee as in character as I could without being too annoying or idiotic.
and don't worry Prowl fans, Prowl will take over the next chapter, and hopefully Bumblebee will give him a special gift *hint hint*
also I know that the sotry seems eactly like the Wall-e film, but the ending is quite different from how Wall-E ended, since the Decepticons have to show up sometime. so yeah don't worry, its not all copied.
so let me know what ya think. Critism is welcomed
