After taking the advice of Longarm, Bumblebee attempted to weed out the spy, but Sentinel Minor got in the way twice. He then saw classmate Wasp walk out, which aroused his suspicions. His luck seemed to change, however, when he accidentally overheard someone communicating with a Decepticon. He joined the Autobot boot camp, but things didn't exactly go as planned-his drill sergeant was a jerk, most of his classmates bullied him and the only bot willing to befriend him was a complete mudflap. Early in his career, Bumblebee dreamed of becoming a member of the Elite Guard.
