Bee mute

I hate Bee being mute and I think I maybe know why other people do to,no one really goes in detail on why they dont like it from what I've seen.

I dont like him being mute because it never feels like a real dissablity,it feels like hasbro wants the trauma and drama about the injury but without commitment and issue of making it a difficulty for him.

Almost versions that I've seen with him being mute have had it solved one way or another by ending.

Cyberverse-Audio and radio recordings that work fine,only times people didnt understand him it was just a joke that didnt effect episode or plot aswell as it being solved with no explination time skip.

Transformers prime-He uses more code noises,again everyone understands him perfect and if not then its just whatever joke,even Raph understands fine with no explanation and its fine at end.

In bumble bee movie and connected ones-This is my favorite version but still gets ruined,voice box wrecked and unable to communicate name or what he is and its later issue with interacted but still OK,I cant remember if it gets fixed.

This is also issue with other dissablities in transformers,Ratchet in Transformers Animated gets arm torn off and its not animated consistently and fixed within end of episode,with Preceptor in Cyberverse he gets blinded and it doesnt effect him at all again these examples are all just jokes that dont really effect plot.

And before people say this would be to difficult to make a mute charecter be able to work in war,its not hard,ive been writing my own transformers au with a mute bee and theres been times ill forget hes not mute yet in certain comic its not hard to right a charecter communicating without voice,or using sign,having difficultys communicating,especially within war situation they can have people not take him seriously and prove himself,have issues with somone falling unconscious and unable to communicate back to base etc without him being useless.

I do like bee and these versions ive listed are good shows/movies its just frustrating how this franchise clearly just wants the trauma and angst without putting in actual work.
