737. Mute Bee

I haven't seen the fourth movie yet, so I don't know if he can talk or not in the fourth. I doubt it.
I don't know what the deal with making Bumblebee mute is anyway. He's been able to talk since his appearance in the original cartoon. (He wouldn't shut the hell up in Transformers: Animated…but I loved him in that.) Ever since Bay's Bumblebee went mute, it kind of became a staple of the character.
Transformers: War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron went mute after a damaged voice box and Transformers Prime Bumblebee is mute and talks in beeps. (Kinda like R2D2.) But to be fair, I think the Cybertron and Prime universes are connected. There's a loose continuity between the two.
