The Class-5 has one pilot seat and an unknown amount of crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep people from injury when crash-landing. Though they are noted as being one of the safer methods of UNSC ship evacuation,{{Ref/Reuse|library}} the effectiveness of the safety features on this Bumblebee vary greatly, as can their reliability. Though fast, tiny, and difficult to track, a single shot from a heavy [[plasma]] weapon will instantly destroy the craft. However, Class-5 Bumblebees are heavily armored, and resistant to small-arms plasma weapons. | The Class-5 has one pilot seat and an unknown amount of crash seats.
