In Rise of the Beasts, when Optimus Prime first called all the Autobots, the first one to appear was still Bumblebee. However, after that moment, his role became relatively quiet. Bee had few lines, remained mostly silent, and wasn't very active in driving the story forward. Instead, it was Mirage who took the spotlight—energetic, funny, and attention-grabbing from start to finish. So, why was a character as popular as Bumblebee, who even had his own solo movie, given such a reduced role? The answer lies in the film’s narrative structure. Bumblebee was “killed off” midway through the movie — a move that created space for Mirage to grow and shine. Mirage even saved Noah and turned into an armored suit during the final battle. Bumblebee did return near the climax, but still felt like a secondary character by then. ------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe @scoremia for more! ------------------------------------------------------ mirage rise of the beasts, mirage, bumblebee, rise of the beasts, rotb, transformers rise of the beasts, rotb mirage, rotb bumblebee, rotb mirage bumblebee, mirage & bumblebee, transformers shorts transformers, shorts scoremia, scoremia, scoremia transformers, transformers 4k, autobots, decepticons,
