| Trivia: | The simple appearance of Bumble Bee in the splash created a flame war. |
Bumble Bee was a Crawler built by Sage and entered into BBEANS5.
Most likely one of the most controversial bots in the story of BBEANS.
After the release of the BBEANS5 competitors splash, it was immediately criticized by a few members, especially R0B0SH4RK and his rival Naryar (Agreeing on something for once), and spawned a flame war, some members were against it and even wanted to remove it from the tournament, while the others did not bothered about such a bot being entered and pointed out that it was a completely legal bot. Even the mighty Starcore blamed Sage for that sort of entry.
As a crawler, it was considered as extremely cheap and quickly become known as "Cheap Win 3000" (named by Naryar, and later shortened to CW3K). For some reason, it's sexuality was debated (starting with R0B0's "GHEEEEYYYY", and later being known as "the homosexual", one of it's numerous nicknames)
It had a bye at the first round, then (to everyone's surprise) lost to a poorly build complex HS (Bumble Bee was AI-ed for crawling towards it's opponent, then spinning, like a SnS).
In the loser's bracket, it first faced a rammer/hammer hybrid, hybrid that went under Bumble Bee's spinners and get KO-ed. Then it fought ACAMS's FS, that shoved Bumble Bee all across the arena, getting slowly ripped off and KO'ed twice. The third fight, Bumble Bee was flipped OOTA by one of the arena flippers.
