Fiction

Transformers × Bump of Chicken

When Bumblebee literally crashed into Bump of Chicken's concert, Chama suggested they play to awaken the robotic giant. The music managed to energize the Autobot, and Bumblebee scanned Chama's blue bass guitar to attain a new "SonicBlue Bumble" form. After watching Bump of Chicken finish their concert, the amazed SonicBlue Bumble thanked Chama by giving him an exosuit. He returned to Cybertron to inform Optimus Prime that Bump of Chicken's music could be used to alleviate their energon shortage. Transformers × Bump of Chicken EX Episode
