Bumblebee regards him carefully. Different parts of him are fighting at the moment. His eyes tell him to be wary, looking at that brand on the man's coat. That very image has been burned into his subconscious for thousands of years, rightfully conditioned his body to feel that danger is coming whenever it comes into his line of sight. The sign means violence and conflict and war. Biased as this view is, it has also kept him alive.
But the apology that comes from the man wearing it is so incredibly sincere. His words are from someone who has suffered similar loss. Both sides of the war have lost enough. Prime would agree. And the part of him that isn't currently anticipating a battle with the decepticon... thinks so too.
He's not ready to trust the other. Not yet. Not when he has teammates who might be at risk if he's mistaken.
But he is ready to offer a hand towards the other- a temporary truce to a seemingly peaceful bot. Along with that, he gives his name.]
