Ratchet. I have absolutely no idea what this is indicative of though. I suppose I could go see the movie or something.

I wouldn't say that *laugh* Blackout is just outside the realm of my knowledge. After all, I own the horrible british dubs of Headmasters and frequently used "afterdeath" as a back door in games I programmed

Bumblebee. No idea what it means though.
ETA Wiki says: Bumble in Japan, Moscardo in Portugal) is the "little brother" of the heroic Autobot faction, constantly striving to prove himself in the eyes of the taller, stronger robots that he respects - especially his leader, Optimus Prime. So strong is this admiration toward others, he takes risks that put him in danger. Although a bit of a wise-cracker, he is a capable and reliable messenger and spy, his small size allowing him to go places that his larger comrades cannot. He is highly fuel efficient, has great visual acuity, is particularly adaptable to undersea environments and transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle. He was later reconstructed in a stronger, more mature form as Goldbug.
Bumblebee is established as the smallest of the first year Autobots, but his actual size varies greatly in the various media, ranging from the same size as other Autobot cars to barely taller than a human. His only official height was in an early issue of the Marvel comics where it is stated he is 15 feet tall.
Bumblebee's primary function in the original Transformers animated series and comics was to serve as the "young" character with whom the youthful viewing audience could identify, and he would befriend the Autobots' primary human ally - the young son of the Witwicky family (Buster in the Marvel comic - see issue #1 - and Spike in the cartoon) - to this end, a concept that persists into the 2007 live-action film. Although a well-known character because of this, Bumblebee is quite unusual in that, unlike many other Transformers, his name has not been re-used and applied to unrelated characters throughout the ensuing twenty years of Transformers media, due to the loss of the trademark until recently. His role as the "young yellow character", however, has inspired other Transformers characters with the same role such as Cheetor and Hot Shot.

Bumblebee may not be the strongest Autobot, but he is far from a sissy. Bumblebee is one of the most courageous of the Autobots. He's also one of the most beloved characters in Transformer lore. He's fiercely protective, willing to put his life on the line to protect his friends and humans.
As for Jazz, he's the cool, stylish Autobot. He loves Earth culture, particularly the music. He's also one of the most skillful of the Autobots.
Blackout is completely loyal to Megatron, and completely focussed. He's a hunter, and never stops hunting his prey until he's found it...and destroyed it. He also has a symbiotic relationship with Scorponok
Actually, Blackout and Barricade aren't just new characters made up for the film. They existed as far back as 1990 as a part of the Micromaster line of Transformers.
Blackout was a Micromaster combiner, forming a bomber jet with his partner Spaceshot, with whom he also co-piloted a tank that transformed into a mobile base. He also appeared as the partner mini-con of Demolisher in Transformers Armada, as well as a member of the Decepticon Destruction combiner team in Energon.
Barricade originated as a Micromaster too, and was the leader of the Decepticon Race Track Patrol, consisting of four members. Barricade then showed up again in Transformers Armada as the torso in the Decepticon Destruction team.
I didn't know all that until recently. I ran across both names in a Generation 1 book I had, and decided to look them both up on Wiki.

Despite the necessity of so many "uhm, whatever" answers, that actually hits fairly well on some points.
I've only seen bits and pieces of anything since the end of the original series, so that explains why I don't know him. When I had to sell off the toys and comics to finance the pre-natal for my son, I just sort of dropped out for quite some time.
Couldn't resist grabbing up that Anniversary Prime a couple of years ago, though. How I've resisted taking him out of the box, I'll never know *laugh*
EDIT: Just had to post this, one of my favorite lines from the old series. It's as much hearing Omega Supreme deliver the line as anything else
OS: "Sarcasm"
