Biography
Titans East is a group of teenage superheroes affiliated with the Teen Titans. They are part of Titans International, located on the east coast of the United States (hence their team name).
As shown in Flashback, before the Teen Titans were formed, Aqualad, Speedy and Bumblebee receive flyers from Robin for tryouts to be a member of the Teen Titans. During the tryouts, they experience Robin's temper torwards the other superheroes that would later become his teammates. Because of this, Kid Flash suggests that they kick Robin out and that he should be the leader instead, to which Bumblebee, Speedy and Aqualad agree to. They take the Titans Tower and form their team.
Later on, Kid Flash and the others are challenged by Robin's team to a competition to take back the Tower and to reclaim Robin's status as leader. Eventually, the Titans overthrow Kid Flash, breaking his leg and throwing him out of the Tower. Hobbling away, Kid Flash suggests that they should form Titans East on the East Coast.
Sometime later, Más y Menos joined Titans East, and Kid Flash left the team, leaving Bumblebee to be the leader of the team.
Every year, Titans East throw a party, inviting several heroes around the world to come and celebrate with them, as shown in "Starliar". However, the Teen Titans ruined their party from last year. Titans East banned all of the members of the Teen Titans (except Starfire) from ever coming to their parties again.
The whole team appeared again in "Yearbook Madness", dining at the Yum Yum Kitty Diner in Jump City. Robin shows up and forces all of the members (except for Speedy) to sign his yearbook.
The team briefly appeared in "Snuggle Time", when getting tortured by the Legion of Doom (the Titans villainous team counterpart).
The team was seen competing in "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star", with Bumblebee twirling hoops, Aqualad juggling swordfish, Speedy shooting arrows, and Más y Menos tap dancing.
They were seen again in "Costume Contest". While Aqualad was seen as a prisoner in the H.I.V.E. Tower, the rest of the team was seen attending the Costume Party.
The team competed again in "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Second Greatest Team Edition", this time competing together as a team. However, they were eliminated offscreen.
The Titans East later attend the Super Summer Hero Camp. In "Forest Pirates", it is revealed that Robin sabotaged them by giving them "poop yogurt" so that they won't win the canoe race. However, Bumblebee was the only one to not be poisoned. They appear throughout the Super Summer Hero Camp arc, with Bumblebee joining the Teen Titans as the sixth member of the team.
After the events of "What We Learned at Camp", the current state of the Titans East was unknown, due to their leader joining the Teen Titans.
In "The Viewers Decide", it is revealed that they've been looking for her and that everything has been difficult since she left, such as with high rent, more chores and tougher battles. It is also revealed that Kid Flash joined the Titans East again at some point during this time. They show up to the Titans Tower to take Bumblebee back, but they get into an argue about which team Bumblebee belongs to. Bumblebee shut them all up telling them that it's not up to them. Cyborg then explains that in the older days, the viewers decided a character’s fate by calling in and voting, so Beast boy proceeds to do just that, suddenly a number appears at the bottom of the screen and he starts urging people to call it. Aqualad thanks Beast boy for showing Bumblebee just how wacked in the head he is and says that Bumblebee is leaving with them now. Bumblebee pushes Aqualad off her and yells that it’s not their decision. Robin rushes up to Bumblebee and asks for a chance to convince her to stay, Bumblebee grudgingly agrees to this but tells them to be professional about it. She asks for their best business proposals.
After the Titans West gave a bunch of snazzy visuals and enticing offers, The Titans East procced to give their business proposals but it turns out that they were crossing their fingers behind their backs the entire time. They all begin to argue about who deserves Bumblebee, but she’s had enough. She yells at them to shut up, then proceeds to say that she wasn’t convinced by either proposal. So Robin says that it’s up to the viewers. He tells them to call a number that appears on screen and vote. Kid Flash yells at him to stop and that there is no number. Speedy asks Bumblebee what they need to do to convince her, and she answers that they can try dazzling her. The Titans East offers her a new car (an old hatch-back sedan with fake leather seats) and a trip to a fancy island. Bumblebee doesn’t know who to choose, saying that both teams offer such good deals, so Beast Boy decides to make the decision a little easier for Bumblebee by turning into an elephant and destroying the car the Titans East were going to give her. They’re all enraged by this and the two teams begin tearing apart each other's stuff. Bumblebee tells them that she’s going to go be Batman now, but Robin says that there’s one last way to decide her fate: the viewers. He addresses the viewers telling them to call a number that appears at the bottom of the screen and text the codes for either Titans East or Titans West. Of course, being the jerk that he is, he makes the code impossibly long for Titans East and only one digit for Titans West. This results in literally no one calling in for Titans East and Titans West winning. They all start celebrating by rubbing it into Titans East’s faces and dancing around. But it appears that Bumblebee has long left and is with Commissioner Gordon.
As Bumblebee decided to go solo near the end of the episode as "Batbee", it is unknown whether or not she returned to her original team after this episode, due to the show's little to no continuity.
