The problem with Bumblebee is (aside from the rabid fans) that as a ship, it is a good pairing, but in terms of being canon, it's not as strong.

There's a fair amount of scenes and moments one can use to argue that Yang and Blake are close friends, or at least were before Blake left her without even leaving a tiny note despite knowing about Yang's abandonment issues.

But, there isn't any actual scene that solidly, objectively, without a doubt, confirms that either of them has or had any romantic feelings for each other instead of just being close but ultimately platonic friends.

For comparison, Sun makes it painfully obvious from his very first scene to the last so far, that he clearly likes Blake as more than merely a friend, and considering the way Blake acts around him (sans her irrational moments on the ship), the fact she blushes the most obviously with him, plus the goodbye kiss (which isn't something she does for "any friend"), there's more than enough to argue that she might return his feelings.

Summary: Bumblebee is a fine ship, shippers aside, but it's lacking solid proof, it's only there if you think it is there.
