Bumblebee is crouched down in the middle of a room where he has materialized in full form. He stands up to full height to begin scanning his surroundings, when he smashes into a large disc. Debri falls down around him and he crouches down again quickly, backing up and slamming into the wall. He turns again, bumping his head into the ceiling as his misjudges the height and tumbles backwards into the pedestal holding the tablet. It attaches to the strip fused to his wrist automatically as he proceeds to fall into the opposite wall.

He doesn't want to move again - he's so big and he's destroying everything around him. So he sighs, a whirring sound that winds down to a rumble, and decides to try scanning the area again. Bumblebee takes note of the new addition to his body, along with the tablet, and lifts his arm up to inspect it. A quick interface gives him the information he's seeking, that he's in Taxon, and he's not alone. Now, he just has to get up again and get out of this little room.

"You got me tripping, stumbling, flipping, fumbling / Clumsy cause I'm falling in love / You got me slipping, tumbling, sinking, fumbling / Clumsy cause I'm falling in love…"

The music plays softly from his radio unit in his chest as he tries to gracefully pick his way across the ruins to the door. Bumblebee hits his head again, lighter than the previous and he stops in front of the door. He crouches down, but that won't work. Maybe if he scoots sideways out of it - still too big. Bumblebee finally sits on the floor and rolls to his side - eureka! A sound clip from The Price Is Right pours out of his speakers; the victory music behind clapping and cheering, as Bumblebee successfully shuffles himself out of the door, head first. He can stand up out here, and he notices the city through the window - it looks like Earth. Comforted by the familiar architecture, he sets to getting out of the building completely. He approaches an elevator and grumbles in disappointment.

"…You had a bad day / You're taking one down / You sing a sad song just to turn it around…"

Bumblebee spots the staircase and makes his way through the initial door. He peers down a few floors and takes a tentative step, finding it supports his weight just fine. He carefully makes his way down and finds the exit is too small, with no room for the trick he pulled earlier. Squinting a little, he bursts through it. As he sweeps some of the rubble into a pile close to the door, another sound bite speaks for him, to apologize. "I apologize to the public, whom I promised better," it says, and then he makes his way to the door.

Once clear of the building, Bumblebee can stand at full height, and he stretches out before transforming into the form of a 2007 Camaro and squeals his tires and drives down the street at full speed.


"Ramble on / And nows the time, the time is now / To sing my song…"
