'''[[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]]'s car''' is a rusty yellow sports car of undetermined model. It gets destroyed a lot, but always seems to be back in time for its next mauling. It was also the basis for [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s Earth vehicle [[alternate mode|altmode]].

===''Animated'' cartoon===
[[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]] was seated in his car, about to eat a burger, when he received a radio call summoning all units to a [[Sumdac Systems]] building. (A humongous nanobug was absorbing everything in its path.) His car was thus present among the collected emergency vehicles when [[Teletran-1]] scanned them for new altmodes for [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew of [[Autobot]]s. Scrappy speedster [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] adopted the look of the yellow hatchback, sans rust. When the Autobots made their debut to confront the nanobug, Fanzone briefly mistook 'Bee for his car, exclaiming, "How is my car driving itself?!" {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

[[Image:TFA Fanzone Car Wreck BftP.jpg|left|thumb|"''This'' is why I ''hate'' bumper cars!"]]
Fanzone's car was present for many of his encounters with Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s, often in the role of "collateral damage". For example, in the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobot]]s' debut appearance, [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] knocked a car into the air with his tail, causing it to bounce amusingly off of Fanzone's vehicle. {{storylink|Blast from the Past}} Afterwards, he briefly used a normal police cruiser. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

The resemblance between Fanzone's car and Bumblebee was occasionally useful, as when Fanzone drove Bumblebee to a ransom meeting with the [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]], thus sneaking the Autobot into the building under the guise of a normal car. {{storylink|Headmaster (episode)|Headmaster}}

[[Image:TFA Fanzone Car Wreck Velocity.jpg|thumb|right|"And '''this''' is why I '''hate''' bananas in the tailpipe!"]]
The car's most energetic death yet came when Fanzone was investigating [[Master Disaster]]'s underground races. He and Bumblebee ended up pursued by the crazy Decepticon [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]]. Bumblebee and [[Sari Sumdac]] urged Fanzone to jump into 'Bee, and moments later Blitzwing destroyed Fanzone's car with a missile. {{storylink|Velocity}} But, it was back yet again by the time of Optimus's duel with the Headmaster at [[Burger Bot]]. {{storylink|TransWarped}} A perfect virtual copy of it later appears in [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s virtual reality, where it is commandeered by the (virtually human) Bumblebee. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

==Toys==
* Most of Bumblebee's [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Toys|toys]] will serve, so long as you don't transform them. You might want to [[Kitbashing|paint on some rust]], and scatter a few [[Burger Slime|burger]] wrappers around the interior.

==Notes==
* No explanation has been explicitly offered for how his car keeps coming back from being totaled. Either he's repeatedly buying identical cars, or he's getting them fixed at great expense (but ''not'' getting the rust fixed).
* On the other hand, dialogue in "Velocity" implies that the car is the property of the [[Detroit]] Police Department. Given how large bureaucracies work, it's possible they bought a fleet of identical unmarked cars several years ago, and they're all rusting at about the same rate.
* Or, it's just a [[Waspinator (BW)|running gag]].
* Whoever owns the car is clearly opting for the no-frills model, as Sari's candid comments on Bumblebee's alt-mode suggests that it does not feature such basic mod-cons as a heater! {{storylink|Nature Calls}}
