Rules Text:

As B.O.B. enters the battlefield, create four 1/1 blue Beeble creature tokens.

B.O.B.’s loyalty and the number of loyalty counters on it are each equal to the number of Beebles you control. (If B.O.B. is not on the battlefield, its loyalty characteristic is equal to the number of Beebles you control. If B.O.B. is on the battlefield, this characteristic-defining ability represents the following—

As B.O.B. comes under your control, gains this characteristic-defining ability, or phases in, put loyalty counters on it equal to the number of Beebles you control.

As you lose control of B.O.B., B.O.B loses this characteristic-defining ability, or phases out, remove loyalty counters from it equal to the number of Beebles you control.

As each loyalty counter is put on B.O.B., if that counter was not put on B.O.B. due to this characteristic-defining ability, create a 1/1 blue Beeble creature token.

As each loyalty counter is removed from B.O.B., if that counter was not removed from B.O.B. due to this characteristic-defining ability, sacrifice a Beeble.

As each Beeble you control comes under your control, becomes a Beeble, or phases in, if that Beeble was not created due to this characteristic-defining ability, put a loyalty counter on B.O.B.

As each Beeble you control leaves your control, loses its Beeble creature type, or phases out, if that Beeble was not sacrificed due to this characteristic-defining ability, remove a loyalty counter from B.O.B.

UnCommander Rulings

B.O.B.’s second ability defines its loyalty and the number of Beebles on the battlefield. It also functions differently on the battlefield to outside the battlefield. However, in UnCommander, it is still considered to be a characteristic-defining ability, as it defines B.O.B.’s loyalty at all times and does not directly affect the characteristics of other objects.

The abilities that represent B.O.B.’s characteristic-defining ability while on the battlefield are replacement effects, see 614. in the official Comprehensive Rules. They are also linked abilities, that refer to any of the other abilities that represent B.O.B.’s characteristic-defining ability.

A permanent entering the battlefield under your control is coming under your control. A permanent leaving the battlefield from your control is leaving your control.
