*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

[[File:G1toy silver volks.jpg|thumb|''"Eu vou a pé eu vou de fusca / Eu vou em busca de um amor..."''|upright=1.67]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:AntexVolks.jpg|thumb|''"... Eu vou a pé vou de fusca / Aonde tem amor eu vou!"''|upright=1.66]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 1989)
**''Accessories'': "Laser pistol"

:The inner robot to Pretender Classics Bumblebee was sold without the shell as a [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] figure, but with the inner-robot gun to his teammate [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]], who had Bumblebee's small gun in exchange.

{{-}}{{anchor|Hero Set}}
[[File:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' "Laser pistol"

:In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

{{-}}{{anchor|ActionMaster}}

*'''Bumblebee with Heli-pack''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Heli-pack, "Astral Exploder Rifle"

:Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large "high-powered air rifle" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s.

:This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available during the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run (from 1984-1990).

*'''Goldbug''' (1991)
:Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues. It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy bumblebee keychain.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.67|If you're feeling bitter, you might need a sweet boy in your pocket!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

:This mold was also used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]].

===Generation 2===

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

:Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word Autobot.

**''Accessories'': Rifle

:Bumblebee's second release in the ''Generation 2'' line was as a recolor of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine that looks ''exactly'' like the [[Wikia:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]] car from Mattel's ''Hot Wheels'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "Back Burner" and "Sonic Special". He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Crosswise (RID)#Toys|Crosswise]] and [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]]. It was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Bumblebee (G2)|"next-generation" clone of Bumblebee]].

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
[[File:Smallest transforming bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|50% smaller, still 100% sweet.]]
*'''Bumble''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 04'''

: Not much more than an inch tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Bumblebee is a scaled-down version of his original toy, retaining the larger figure's [[transformation]] scheme but losing its rolling wheels by sheer necessity of size. Bumblebee was sold as part of the line's first wave and, like all the figures, came [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].

[[File:G1toy reissue Bumble.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Sweet Boy: Upgraded!]]
*'''Minibot Team Set''' (6-pack, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''12'''

:"Bumble" was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Drag]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]], and [[Warpath (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

:The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsBumblebeeDesign.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

**''Accessories:'' Unknown, likely display stand

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His alternate mode was the saucer-like car seen the Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' (which was itself based on the first cartoon appearance of Bumblebee). An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately these never made it into production.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

*'''Bumble''' (Deluxe, 2008-[[March 13|03-13]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:This mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumble & Minibots''' (5-pack, 2008)
** ''Japanese ID number'': '''10'''

:The ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues featured a set similar to the 2004 ''The Transformers Collection'' Minibots set; this time, rather than a mix of 1984 and 1985 Mini-Vehicles, it included mostly figures from 1986 plus Bumblebee (whose original toy had still shipped in 1986), bundling him with [[Outback (G1)#Encore|Outback]], [[Pipes (G1)#Encore|Pipes]], [[Swerve (G1)#Encore|Swerve]], and [[Tailgate (G1)#Encore|Tailgate]]. ''Encore'' Bumblebee retains the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] head sculpt from the ''Transformers Collection'' release, but now sports several additional paint operations: his eyes are blue, his brake lights are red, and his bumpers and headlights are silver.

[[File:TF-Universe-(2008)-Legends-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Stingers and plasma cannon not included. (Neither is a laser pistol.)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2008)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Cliffjumper]], [[#Transformers (2010)|''Transformers'' "Gold Bumblebee"]], and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] from the Bumblebee/Starscream [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] four-pack.

:The [[prototype|sample]] used for Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] sported unpainted gold legs, but the final toy has the legs painted over in blue. So far, no gold-legged specimens have been found in the wild. Conversely, the vehicle mode stock photo on the back of his packaging implies that the ''entire'' leg pieces (or at least his ankle joints) have been painted blue, as there are two very obvious blue patches on his hood.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

He transforms from an Earth-style car into a robot styled after [[Andrew Griffith]]'s design for the character in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' (which is in turn modified from ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]), and features [[5 mm post|5mm-compatible]] front wheels, back/roof, and hands.

:He comes with [[Blaze Master#Generations|Blazemaster]], who can transform into a helicopter, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5 mm handle. In weapon mode, his rotors detach and mount onto Bumblebee's forearm wheel peg-holes.

:There are two packaging [[variant]]s of this two-pack: One version (which is also reflected by the official [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the toy in packaging) features the same layout for the cardboard name insert as its [[wave]]mate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Optimus Prime]] & [[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]], while the other version has various texts and logos rearranged and relocated, and is lacking both the difficulty level and the [[Hasbro]] company logo.<ref name="genvar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-legends-bumblebee-with-blazemaster-packaging-variant-177748/ Comparison] between both variants of ''Generations'' Bumblebee & Blaze Master's packaging</ref>

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, this ''Thrilling 30'' Bumblebee is a new mold with a robot mode based on the character's body from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|''The Transformers'' vol. 1]] ongoing series; more specifically, it is the version used by [[Guido Guidi]] in [[Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|issue #21]]. He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

:For some reason, Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] provided to retailers which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], including a photo of the toy in [[packaging]], feature a Bumblebee that lacks the [[paint operation|painted]] stripes on the [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] car hood on his robot mode chest. The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.

:This mold was retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] and [[Goshooter#Generations|Goshooter]] as well as ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Carzap (BT)#Timelines|Carzap]].

The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

**''Accessories'': Blaster, rear-view mirrors, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] (Exosuit), spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure, on both his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of a soft rubbery plastic. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

===Transformers (2014)===
[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|(Black insignia version pictured)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

: A special edition [[Bearbrick]] released in celebration of the ''Transformers'' 30th anniversary, Bumblebee is a [[retool]] of the Bearbrick [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Optimus Prime]]/[[Megatron (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Megatron]] mold with a new chest and head, transforming from a Bearbrick painted up like himself to a bear-eared robot. He has no accessories, but holes in his robot mode hands can accommodate other toys' weapons.

: The chest used for this mold was also used to make the simultaneously released Bearbrick [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Starscream]].

[[File:Bumble Bee Masterpiece.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I've been all around the world, seen all the sights; but this is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.]]
*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21G'''
**''Accessories'': Laser gun, spare left-side rearview mirror, 3-piece jetpack, spare tire cover, "normal" and "smile" extra faces

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

: This toy was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

*'''Cybertron Espionage Bumble (Ver. 2.0)''' ([[November 24]], [[2019]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-45'''
**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:While the overall deco is similar to that of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cybertronian Bumblebee, some of the [[paint operation]]s are different: The Autobot [[insignia|logo]] is now placed on the side of his right arm/passenger door of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (the official [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of the packaging are flipped, depicting it on the opposite side instead) rather than on the robot mode's chest/vehicle mode's roof, and the red stripes on the "running boards" on the sides of his vehicle mode have been omitted.

:In addition, this release of the sculpt also sports a very minor [[retool]] compared to all previous releases, namely additional pegs and holes that allow for his arms to attach more securely to the torso in vehicle mode.<ref name="legendspegs">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/575525-rts-legends-dollar-general-generic-packaging-11.html#post7646534 Comparison of ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Gold Bumblebee and ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee, with newly-sculpted pegs.]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee Cybertron Mode''' (Deluxe, 2010-[[December 25|12-15]])
**''ID number'': '''UN02'''
**''Accessories'': "Energy gun"

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:This mold was also used to make [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Toys|''War For Cybertron'' Cliffjumper]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]].

**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Bumblebee toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

====Cyber Series====
[[File:Generations-Cyber-Battalion-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)
:Part of the new ''Generations'' Cyber Battalion series, Bumblebee is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a sports car, which is probably a combination between ''Generations'' Legends Class' Bumblebee's and ''Prime'' Bumblebee's alt mode, into a robot in just 5 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

His transformation scheme is largely based on that of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Robots in Disguise Legion Bumblebee]]. His arms feature a decent range of articulation as well as 5mm-compatible hands. His robot mode stands taller than most modern Leader class figures.

**''ID Number'': '''MP-08'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, rear-view mirrors, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] (Exosuit), spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Legends-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't expect him to shelfwarm like his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|''Movie-verse'' counterpart]] anytime soon.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

====War for Cybertron Trilogy====
[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-Trilogy-Deluxe-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wait I'm a retool of Cliffjumper now? This must be Shattered Glass or something...]]
*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure, on both his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of a soft rubbery plastic. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

: Part of Wave 1 of Construct-Bots Triple-Changers, Bumblebee can transform into a sports car-like thing or a jet-like thing. He is heavily armed with two large shoulder-mounted launchers, a third launcher hidden in his jet mode nosecone as well as two large swords.

: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car. He uses largely the same part scheme as Triple Changer Bumblebee, except his head is remolded to have his battle mask up, and uses Ironhide's shoulders. He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2014]]-[[August 3|08-03]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

===Hero Mashers===
[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

===Transformers (2014)===
[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|(Black insignia version pictured)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

:Produced as a collaboration between toylines ''[[Diablock|Nanoblock]]'' and ''[[Choro-Q]]'', this Bumblebee is a building block toy providing pieces to build both Bumblebee's super deformed robot mode and, separately, his car mode (or something else, given it's blocks and all). His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

:The INFOBAR figures celebrate 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is also non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design. The figure also includes a display stand.

:The project was crowdfunded through Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/01/31/transformers-x-au-transforming-phones-launch-crowdfunding-campaign-332289 Transformers x au Transforming Phones Launch Crowdfunding Campaign at TFW2005.com]</ref> Both Bumblebee and Megatron could only be obtained by contributing 16,2000 yen to the project to receive a package of all three INFOBAR figures; at the 5,400 yen level, contributors received only INFOBAR Optimus Prime.

*'''Bumblebee''' ("Legion Class" reissue, 2018)

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

Collectors first had an opportunity to purchase the figure in-person at an event at Tokyo Dome from [[November 3]]–4, 2019, starting at 8:30 AM JST. In-person purchasers needed to have a ticket to the band's concert in order to purchase the figure. Online orders were also available at noon on [[November 8]], 2019, and quickly sold out.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

[[File:AntexVolks.jpg|thumb|''"... Eu vou a pé vou de fusca / Aonde tem amor eu vou!"''|upright=1.66]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

*'''Bumblebee with Heli-pack''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Heli-pack, "Astral Exploder Rifle"

:Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large "high-powered air rifle" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s.

:This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available during the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run (from 1984-1990).

*'''Goldbug''' (1991)
:Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues. It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

:Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word Autobot.

He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

:The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2008)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Henkei!

As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he's based on does not have said feature.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.

*'''Brick Box'''
**''Set number'': '''B2962'''
**''Pieces'': '''77'''
**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America.

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure, on both his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of a soft rubbery plastic. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

**''Accessories'': Blaster

:"Buzzworthy Bumblebee" Bumblebee is a vaguely Core Class-sized mold that converts from a robot into a generic Porsche-like vehicle rather than the Volkswagen Beetle like the figure above.

:The set also comes with Spike Witwicky, who is molded in his Excel Suit.

* '''Bumblebee''' (Triple-Changer, 2013)
**''Pieces: '''69'''
: Part of Wave 1 of Construct-Bots Triple-Changers, Bumblebee can transform into a sports car-like thing or a jet-like thing. He is heavily armed with two large shoulder-mounted launchers, a third launcher hidden in his jet mode nosecone as well as two large swords.

:Many of his parts were used to make himself again (see below) as well as [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Construct-bots|Cliffjumper]].

* '''Bumblebee''' (Scout, 2013)
**''Pieces: '''45'''
: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car. He uses largely the same part scheme as Triple Changer Bumblebee, except his head is remolded to have his battle mask up, and uses Ironhide's shoulders. He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

* '''Arsenal Pack Bumblebee''' (Scout, 2014)
**''Pieces: '''51'''
: Arsenal Pack Bumblebee turns into a car. He is almost identical to the previous Scout release. Like all Arsenal Pack toys it was canceled and you'll never own one.

**'''22 OF 30'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2014]]-[[August 3|08-03]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

===Hero Mashers===
[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

* '''Bumblebee & Strafe Team Pack''' (Team Pack, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

===Transformers (2014)===
[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|(Black insignia version pictured)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

He has no accessories, but holes in his robot mode hands can accommodate other toys' weapons.

[[File:Bumble Bee Masterpiece.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I've been all around the world, seen all the sights; but this is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.]]
*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21G'''
**''Accessories'': Laser gun, spare left-side rearview mirror, 3-piece jetpack, spare tire cover, "normal" and "smile" extra faces

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

: This toy was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-45'''
**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Cyberverse-Bumblebee-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]
'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift_(AOE)#Turbo_Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.
{{-}}

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry.

:Yet another retool of the Warrior Class toy, this Bumblebee features Cybertronian parts and a newly-molded head. He retains the Sting Shot gimmick from the first figure and fixes the knee issue that the original Earth-mode version had.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====

**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place.

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked.

With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Scout Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift_(AOE)#Turbo_Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry.

:Yet another retool of the Warrior Class toy, this Bumblebee features Cybertronian parts and a newly-molded head. He retains the Sting Shot gimmick from the first figure and fixes the knee issue that the original Earth-mode version had.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Cyberverse-Bumblebee-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]
'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

====Warrior Class====

*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultra Class Bumblebee is a Voyager-sized toy that transforms from robot to car in seven steps. His "Hive Swarm" Action Attack gimmick flips his windows down and springs a cannon on each side.<ref name=io9 />
{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-05'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====

**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Cyberverse-Bumblebee-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]
'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Jeremy Levy]] (English), [[Ryōhei Kimura]] (Japanese)|[[Alessandro Bevilacqua]] (French), [[Steven Merting]] (German), [[Alessandro Capra]] (Italian)}}
In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Dont change my design! I thought the [[Bumblebee (G1)|old one]] was better!]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Bumblebee''' (バンブルビー ''Banburubī'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Dàhuángfēng''' (China, 大黄蜂, "Hornet")

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Cyberverse-Bumblebee-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]
'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1-Step Changer, 2018)
:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift_(AOE)#Turbo_Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.
{{-}}

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack is replaced with "Hive Swarm", which consists of his spinning missile hand. The black striping on his forehead and center vehicle kibble are omitted.

:Yet another retool of the Warrior Class toy, this Bumblebee features Cybertronian parts and a newly-molded head. He retains the Sting Shot gimmick from the first figure and fixes the knee issue that the original Earth-mode version had.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

====Ultra Class====

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]

**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Dont change my design! I thought the [[Bumblebee (G1)|old one]] was better]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Bumblebee''' (バンブルビー ''Banburubī'')

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys|Brawn]]) comprised the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]], but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

:Bumblebee was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Bumblebee was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''26'''

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

*'''Autobot Espionage Team''' (2003)

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, but since Hasbro didn't have the [[trademark]] on Bumblebee's name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the "Autobot Espionage Team". This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

**''Act'': '''3'''

:A 2-inch PVC of Bumblebee with his best human friend [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Spike]] was released in the third "Act" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' series. He carries the tiny little pistol he had in the opening of "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". The figure was available in both full color and clear plastic versions, one of each available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Bumblebee came packaged with the torso of the Act's collectible "build-a-figure" [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Fortress Maximus]]. This part could also be either full-color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal 1:1 ratio.

: In one out of every ten cases (that didn't have a Fortress Maximus part), the clear version of Bumblebee was replaced with the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#SCFdamage|battle-damaged Optimus Prime]] "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]".

*'''Autobot Espionage Team''' (2003)

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, but since Hasbro didn't have the [[trademark]] on Bumblebee's name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the "Autobot Espionage Team". This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''26'''

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation scheme]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile
:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that's been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles, sword, Jetfire armour parts

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.

:Towering at only barely over two inches, this was actually not just the smallest movie-verse Optimus but even the smallest transformable figure of Optimus Prime for a while - ironically enough, being even slightly tinier than the [[Smallest Transforming Transformers]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] - that is, until he was later "out-tinied" by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|two]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changers|other]] cute super deformed versions.

===Leader Class toys===
[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

:This Japanese exclusive release of Optimus Prime features much more black coloring than the previous releases, and it's (coincidentally) based on the Fast Action Battlers Power Armor Optimus Prime toy, so as to be used with the similarly-repainted Legends Jetfire figure to form the Optimus' powered up combination. For some reason, he has red eyes. This redeco also uses the slightly small fuel tank/elbow tabs from the Battle Damaged release.

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2010)

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.
:This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

:Like his EZ Collection Real brethren, Optimus Prime comes with two different variants: The "Real Color" features a flat shade on the plastic colors and paint, while the "Metallic Color" features metallic paint and plastic instead.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV04'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Jet pack]], two rifles, 3-D glasses (Preview Pack)

:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure.He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3mm clips/holes.

[[File:DOTM 3DPreview Cyberverse OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|right|150px|These glasses allow Optimus to see the aliens in his midst. Wait a minute..]]
:Optimus was first released as a "Limited Edition Preview" in [[Calendar|March]] [[2011]], over two months before the full release of the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline on [[May 16]], 2011. He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas.

:This toy is also notorious for being a shelfwarmer in a small number of Walmart stores for 8 years.

:The figure also saw regular release, with no changes of the figure but lacks 3D glasses.

{{anchor|walmartdlx}}[[File:DOTM Optimus Deluxe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character's]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He features heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body and huge gas tanks.

:Release exclusively in Japan, This Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.

:He also has a new [[MechTech Ion blaster]] with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.

:The flame deco on Optimus' forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.

Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle's long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

:A re-release of the [[#JetfireBuster|Jetpower Optimus Prime two-pack]], this time in ''Dark of the Moon''-branded packaging.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

*'''Jetwing Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Supreme, Australia: [[June 11]], Japan: [[June 18]]-[[June 19|19]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

:This redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime is a North American [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]] and 2013 [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

[[File:DOTM UltimateOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Truck forearms of '''DOOM'''!]]
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:''Bash Bots'' Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it's built-in stand. He & his stand can connect with any Bash Bots to fight with, especially the included Starscream (instead of his nemesis Megatron).

====Go-Bots====
[[File:DOTMGoBotsOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|woobwoobwoobwoobwoob]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

:The first release in the Asian-exclusive ''[[Asia Premium Series]]'' toyline is an extensive redeco of the previously-Japanese exclusive [[#Leader Class toys 4|Striker Optimus]]. He features a comprehensive paint scheme directly based on [[#JetfireBuster|Jetpower Optimus Prime]], with blue pinstriped flames, lots of silver paint, and [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] parts, although his hands are left unpainted in favor of painting his mirrors silver. Along with his standard accessories, he also comes with 2 battle blades, which were previously exclusive to Toys"R"Us Japan. He features the "We must stop the Decepticons!" voice chip, but batteries are not included. Rather helpfully, his instructions are supplemented with text instructions written in English for all the steps, as well as the additional photographs used for the previous Striker Optimus toy.

:Originally set for a September 28th release, it ended up being delayed to 6th November instead.

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory. His instructions depict a weaponized mode which has some clearance issues, as his Gatling guns are shown attached to the Jetwing, which pushes against his arms. His Eliminator Gun and Assault Blaster cannot tab into the Gatling gun tightly either.

:Mold degradation is evident in this release, as the bumper of the vehicle mode is notably bent.

Instead of the blaster/axe MechTech weapon the original release of the figure came with, Prime is armed with a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Dark of the Moon|Jolt]]'s Blaster/Hand Cannon weapon.

**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus.

*'''Kreon 4-Pack''' (2014)
**''Set number'': '''A9370'''
**''Kreons'': [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Universal4pack|Bumblebee]], [[Evac (Ride)#Kre-O|Evac]] (pre-2020 releases), [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]], Optimus Prime, [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]] (2020 release)
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

:This version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride's gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of ''only'' being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again ''again'', now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Mini-Con Combiners, unreleased)
**''Accessories'': Bazooka, [[Phaser (weapon)|phaser]], Uzi, scoped pistol, [[Klingon]] blaster

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

: Unfortunately, the Mini-Con Combiners apparently never saw release anywhere.

:Another redeco of Deluxe-Class ''Dark of the Moon'' Prime, this release uses a darker grey, a less magenta-y red, and less gold on the front end. Included is the trailer originally available with the ''Chronicle'' release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides.

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|2007 ''Transformers'' Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Foundation]]'' comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, some of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek. Moreover, there is a variant that comes with his faceplated head sculpt.{{fact|Like, which one?}}

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2014)
**''Series / Number:'' '''M4 / #001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD01'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of ''Lost Age: Movie Advanced'' toys, features numerous silver paint details, and alters the deco on his chest to be more screen-accurate, among many other changes. This figure's Vector Shield accessory is later redecoed as the "Golden Vector Shield", as the giveaway item for the 2nd ''The Last Knight'' Campaign in Japan.

:Armor Knight Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class Optimus Prime. It features a new head sculpt with a rotatable faceplate (one side with the mask, the other without, the whole part rotates), along with other remolded body parts (such as his skirt, feet, and chest), giving it a more screen accurate appearance. He includes more movie-accurate weapons, featuring a new sword and shield, albeit in not-so-accurate colors (the sword's transparent orange blade was also a nod to the [http://www.joshnizzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/P_OptimusV2_Sword_130225_v003_JN.jpg sword's "heat up" mode in the concept art].).

*'''Battle Command Optimus Prime''' ([[July 19|07-19]][[2014|-2014]]/4-[[2018]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Wing Backpack/Battle Station, 2 Hound's guns, 2 Sword-Guns, 2 face-guns, Sword of Judgement

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

:Released as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Movie The Best]]'' toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]], this Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of his Evasion mode toy. He also uses the faceplated head and the dark gray-colored Ion Cannon used for the Evolution 2-pack/''Platinum Edition'' 5-pack release. While his deco had taken cues from both the TakaraTomy release of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and the ''Platinum Edition'' Breakout Battle figure, the weathering pattern bears a similar resemblance to his rusty version of the figure. Unfortunately, this release suffers from ''heavy'' mold degradation, particularly in the form of ill-fitting tabs around the truck front/shoulder area.

**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[September 16]], 2017'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Cannon, 2 Energy Swords, Matrix of Leadership
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|ROTF Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his Ion Cannon, and a pair of Energy Swords that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the fifth wheel in vehicle mode.

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

:[[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Optimus Prime is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] mini-figure that changes from robot to a licensed Western Star 5700 OP Truck with just a few simple steps. He features ball-jointed shoulders and hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry.

:Being only an inch and three quarters half, he is the second smallest transformable movie version of Optimus Prime around, only losing the first spot to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|Q-Transformers]] version. Much like the normal-colors [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Bumblebee]], he was available in both Series 1 and 2 of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases. Not even their bag codes were altered. Their instruction books were updated to say "Series 2".

:Released as part of the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] ''Reveal The Shield'' subline, this Tiny Turbo Changer 3-pack contains a [[redeco]]ed Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#RtSTinyTurbo3pack|Bumblebee]] (in their first non-blindpacked release) and a new [[Steelbane#TinyTurboChanger|Steelbane]] figure. This version of Optimus features red wheels & [[Tech Spec]]-esque patterns on his robot mode chest and... groin-flaps, though the ''real'' decoding is on his vehicle mode roof, which when seen through the attached clear-red weapons (or similar plastic device) reveals... an Autobot symbol. Surprise.

:Despite being a store-exclusive, the 3-pack containing this figure absolutely choked store shelves thanks to their [[shelfwarmer|inability to sell]], and were still available in plentiful numbers two years after the film's release.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2017)

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt. Optimus is one of the four.

*'''Optimus Prime 2-Pack''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe, Gun/missile/flame attachment

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|first Deluxe Class figure]], some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.

:All Cyberglyphs in this set translate to "PRIME"

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo) based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#"First Edition" toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:This Optimus Prime ''can'' tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though he cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys R Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

:Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in a Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure's deco is unchanged from the standard release, but he now has weathered battle damage paint all over him (yes, this includes applying to unpaintable plastic). In addition, the bright yellow paint is applied onto the blade.

:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items in an expensive price, given away along with a similarly 'battle-damaged' redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. He was also released as a prize figure for the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located in Singapore from 13 till 26th June 2017.

:This exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime features darker shades of red and blue than his other releases and has extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances in ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego seen in the film. To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor. His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason.

:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield, Tire piece

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest's deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue 'collar', as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield
:This redeco of the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker.

In comparison to the first ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks and side tanks chest was omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were casted in colorless plastic.

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode and an additional [[partsformer|partsforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-EX'''
**''Accessories'': Orion Pax's 2 guns, Titan Master, Optimus Prime's gun

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode </s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|G1 Optimus's e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2018]])
**''ID number'': '''05'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-05'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. This mold is not meant to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) Studio Series 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, changing the blades to be more translucent. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode is mistransformed on the right elbow: His forearm is bent ''back'' instead of the front.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''32'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-25'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding), this ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, Back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance to his appearance in the first two movies]] and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he’s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

:His rear wheels are later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''38'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-30'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop
:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus' robot mode shares the same height as his other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus' design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]] due to the still-too-far-forward hitch port. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' leader class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy was one of the items that was released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy's own [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]].

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''44'''
**''Japanese name'': '''Jetwing Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-39'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[August 31]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Trailer/[[Armored Weapons Platform]]/Omega Combat Armor, 2 cannons, [[Energon-axe]], [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], Shield, Ion blaster, abs piece, "Battle of Chicago" backdrop
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus' first SS-05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

His head can switch between maskless and masked faces. His Ion Blaster can be held in his [[5 mm peg|5 mm]] compatible hands or store on his back.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Speed Series, 2018)
:Released as part of the ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniter's Speed Series line, this Optimus is a Legends/Legion-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Cab-over truck with the transformation scheme shared with the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers (2010)]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal The Shield'' Legends Class toy]], and he features 3mm compatible hands. Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head. Unlike most Speed Series toys, he also shares a similar pivoting shoulder articulation from his ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.

The gunmetal on his forehead and faceplate is now silver, the knees' details are omitted, and he features tampographed Autobot insignias on his shoulders. In preliminary stock imagery such as the images to the right the shoulder insignias were depicted as only white outlines on the red plastic without the 'face' and 'eyes' filled out in red and white respectively, but the actual product had the insignias correctly colored.

:Optimus Prime is packaged in a box designed to evoke the original Generation 1 toyline with new '84-style package art to boot, and is only available as a set with (but packaged separately from) [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th Anniversary|Convoy]].

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as Croaton, the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into [[Croaton]], Chromia saving him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Scout Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1-Step Changer, 2018)
:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

[[File:TF-Cyberverse-1-Step-Bumblebee-New.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Looks like Bumblebee, sounds like Wreck-Gar.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (1-Step Changer, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift_(AOE)#Turbo_Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.
{{-}}

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack is replaced with "Hive Swarm", which consists of his spinning missile hand. The black striping on his forehead and center vehicle kibble are omitted.

*'''Bumblebee (Cybertronian Mode)''' (Warrior Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"

:Yet another retool of the Warrior Class toy, this Bumblebee features Cybertronian parts and a newly-molded head. He retains the Sting Shot gimmick from the first figure and fixes the knee issue that the original Earth-mode version had.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

====Ultra Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Ultra-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultra Class Bumblebee is a Voyager-sized toy that transforms from robot to car in seven steps. His "Hive Swarm" Action Attack gimmick flips his windows down and springs a cannon on each side.<ref name=io9 />
{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

====Ultimate Class====

**''Japanese Name'': '''Stinger Sword Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-05'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.
{{-}}

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Officer Class, 2020)
**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Cyberverse-Bumblebee-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]
'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

{{voiceactor|[[Jeremy Levy]] (English), [[Ryōhei Kimura]] (Japanese)|[[Alessandro Bevilacqua]] (French), [[Steven Merting]] (German), [[Alessandro Capra]] (Italian)}}
In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as Croaton, the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into [[Croaton]], Chromia saving him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-05'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

====Deluxe Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

'''[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys blow up in his labs, but hopefully these won't!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Wheeljack''' (1984)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

* '''Wheeljack / Turbo Racer''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: [[Action Master]] Wheeljack is a non-transforming action figure sculpted based upon his cartoon appearances. He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

: The Wheeljack figure was later redecoed to make [[Slicer (Decepticon)|Slicer]].

:This version of Wheeljack is a redeco of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[Daytonus#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Daytonus]], transforming into a Porsche 962 Le Mans racing car: specifically, a Kremer 962CK6. He is cast in white plastic with mostly black paint. The toy has several [[sticker]]s to represent Wheeljack's earlier Lancia Stratos colours, including his racing number 539. He comes with a small black rifle that can be stored between his legs in vehicle mode, forming his tailpipe.

:The [[:File:G2Go-BotGTPRacer.jpg|original unreleased ''Generation 2'' deco]] of this mold was also utilized as the character [[Crash Test (G1)|Crash Test]].

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/"Laser-strafer rifle", "[[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer|Cryo-Sword]]"

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser; he is also equipped with a "Cryo-Sword" made of clear plastic with blue paint apps.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

===Generations===
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher
[[File:Generationstoy-Wheeljack.jpg|thumb|upright=2|You don't want to drop ''these'' wrenches.]]
: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

====Combiner Wars====
[[File:CWDlxWheeljack.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From wrenches to bowie knives.]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)
**'''1 OF 5: [[Sky Reign]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife-sword, double-barreled gun/fist/foot

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]]. The mold was also repainted with a new head as [[Lightspeed_(G1_Technobot)#Unite_Warriors_2|Unite Warriors Lightspeed]]

:Wheeljack comes with a copy of ''Transformers Windblade'' vol. 2 #2 (''Combiner Wars'' Part 3), "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx in the U.S. at reduced prices with the collector card.

====War for Cybertron: Earthrise====
[[File:TF-WFC-E-Deluxe-Wheeljack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Tell Hasbro that I've forgiven them for not making a toy of me during ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''.]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-E6'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''ER-03'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[May 30]], 2020'''
**''Accessories'': Shoulder launcher
: Wheeljack is a brand new Deluxe Class mold released in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' toyline. He transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic G1 name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

: The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his G1 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm ports or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. It should be noted that Wheeljack's spoiler/"wings" are attached via 5mm ports, for unknown reasons. Additionally, some copies of Wheeljack suffer from loose connections and joints, commonly leading to body parts simply falling off just from movement.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet “[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]”

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Exhaust#Generations|Decepticon Exhaust]].

====War for Cybertron Trilogy====

**''Japanese ID number'': '''WFC-12'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[February 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories'': Shoulder launcher
:This version of Wheeljack is a slathered redeco of the figure above, with screen accurate paint applications meant to make him resemble his appearance on the [[Netflix]] ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. This unfortunately mean he loses all of the in-universe sponsorship tampographs.

:Wheeljack was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' subline.

===United===

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2011]]-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.jp]] exclusive)
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox. The coin package is shaped and colored like his hood deco, and identifies him as "Weeljack" {{sic}}.

:This mold has some very convincing knockoffs, down to the copyright stamping and branding reading "TONY" instead of "TOMY"

:This mold was redecoed and retooled into [[Exhaust#Masterpiece|MP-23 Exhaust]].

*'''Wheeljack''' ( 1984)

:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Wheeljack is a small, non-poseable figurine of Wheeljack based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Wheeljack's race car mode.

:Also made by HG Toys, Zipper Clip Wheeljack is a scaled-down version of Stamp Bot Wheeljack, minus the rubber stamp base. Molded onto his head was a small hole, through which a metal clip was looped, allowing the figurine to attach to the end of a zipper.

[[File:Decoy wheeljack.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Hey, Optimus! I got orange juice all over me!]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)
: This small red rubber figurine of Wheeljack was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Wheeljack's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Wheeljack''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''22'''

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

*'''Wheeljack''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''7'''
**Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (Victory)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

*'''Wheeljack''' (2003)

: Wheeljack's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released the following year by Hasbro as part of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Wheeljack was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. His shoulder-gun still has staying-in-place and head-clearance issues.

: Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separate on a blister card and came packaged with the right arm of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure", as well as a character bio card.

: He includes a collectible card that renders him in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] styling.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (Decepticon)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes.

'''[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys blow up in his labs, but hopefully these won't!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Wheeljack''' (1984)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

* '''Wheeljack / Turbo Racer''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: [[Action Master]] Wheeljack is a non-transforming action figure sculpted based upon his cartoon appearances. He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

: The Wheeljack figure was later redecoed to make [[Slicer (Decepticon)|Slicer]].

He is cast in white plastic with mostly black paint. The toy has several [[sticker]]s to represent Wheeljack's earlier Lancia Stratos colours, including his racing number 539. He comes with a small black rifle that can be stored between his legs in vehicle mode, forming his tailpipe.

**''Accessories:'' Engine/"Laser-strafer rifle", "[[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer|Cryo-Sword]]"

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser; he is also equipped with a "Cryo-Sword" made of clear plastic with blue paint apps.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

===Generations===
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher
[[File:Generationstoy-Wheeljack.jpg|thumb|upright=2|You don't want to drop ''these'' wrenches.]]
: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)
**'''1 OF 5: [[Sky Reign]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife-sword, double-barreled gun/fist/foot

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]]. The mold was also repainted with a new head as [[Lightspeed_(G1_Technobot)#Unite_Warriors_2|Unite Warriors Lightspeed]]

:Wheeljack comes with a copy of ''Transformers Windblade'' vol. 2 #2 (''Combiner Wars'' Part 3), "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx in the U.S. at reduced prices with the collector card.

**''ID number'': '''WFC-E6'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''ER-03'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[May 30]], 2020'''
**''Accessories'': Shoulder launcher
: Wheeljack is a brand new Deluxe Class mold released in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' toyline. He transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic G1 name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

: The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his G1 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm ports or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. It should be noted that Wheeljack's spoiler/"wings" are attached via 5mm ports, for unknown reasons. Additionally, some copies of Wheeljack suffer from loose connections and joints, commonly leading to body parts simply falling off just from movement.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet “[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]”

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Exhaust#Generations|Decepticon Exhaust]].

:This version of Wheeljack is a slathered redeco of the figure above, with screen accurate paint applications meant to make him resemble his appearance on the [[Netflix]] ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. This unfortunately mean he loses all of the in-universe sponsorship tampographs.

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2011]]-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.jp]] exclusive)
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox. The coin package is shaped and colored like his hood deco, and identifies him as "Weeljack" {{sic}}.

:This mold has some very convincing knockoffs, down to the copyright stamping and branding reading "TONY" instead of "TOMY"

:This mold was redecoed and retooled into [[Exhaust#Masterpiece|MP-23 Exhaust]].

*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)
: This small red rubber figurine of Wheeljack was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Wheeljack's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Wheeljack''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''22'''

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (Victory)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

His shoulder-gun still has staying-in-place and head-clearance issues.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (Decepticon)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984, 1985, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), [[Trailer]]/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]], 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

: The original Optimus Prime toy started life as the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy, "Battle Convoy", created by a team of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] designers who came on board when the original designer fell behind. This team included [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (listed as the sole creator on the toy's patent) and famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. The toy transforms into two major components; the first component being a red and blue White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck partially composed of [[die-cast]] metal, and the second component being a large silver trailer of currently-undetermined model.

:The cab transforms into the [[robot mode]] of Optimus Prime himself, with the addition of a pair of removable blue fists that plug into his headlights. The fists themselves do not store anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's opening chest compartment (originally designed to accommodate two ''Diaclone'' driver figures). Prime is armed with a black laser rifle that, due to design, he cannot hold straight. His smokestacks can rotate, but don't serve much purpose whatsoever.

:Prime's trailer opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three pegs that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories, and seating for two ''Diaclone'' drivers. As its central feature, the Combat Deck features a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm (featuring another cockpit for a ''Diaclone'' driver), which can also be extended through holes in the trailer's roof and front-end when it is closed. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller himself has seating for four ''Diaclone'' passengers, and features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard Autobot car, which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

:Optimus Prime was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured larger fists, a gun with a thick, round barrel, a slightly-differently shaped gas pump, grey rockets, a grey Roller, a grey launcher in his Combat Deck, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, his fists were slimmed down, the gun's barrel was pared down to a more slender form, the gas pump's shape was altered, the rockets and launcher were recast in black plastic, the metal plates were removed from the Combat Deck, and Roller's color was changed to a light blue. Along with Roller's color change, however, the Combat Deck's drone pod also became light blue, and a third running change soon followed that saw it restored to its original darker blue, and Roller changed along with it. These modified components would become the default accessories used by subsequent reissues of the Prime toy, though Roller stills fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

:The Japanese release of the figure also underwent the changes in weapon shapes, but never featured a silver Roller; instead, their original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version of the mold. Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue.

:For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

:Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|Transformers movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered ''rare''.)

:Over twenty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

:A limited edition of the Optimus Prime toy sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] was made available in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer. This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#Classics|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

{{note|Ultra Magnus' inner white Optimus Prime redeco was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' issue "[[The War Never Ends]]".}}

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

:The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)
**''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 Laser Rifles, 2 Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Super Robot head
[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling. And shorter stacks.]]
:Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, utilizing the [[Powermaster]] gimmick of requiring the partner figure, who transforms into an engine module, to be inserted into a special area on the main toy before it is able to transform.

:Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

:Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka

: The largest [[Action Master]] set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "[[Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body.

:The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year" reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002.

:Also, unlike the one seen in the commercial, the final product loses paint operations of Optimus Prime's upper legs.

*'''Star Convoy''' (Powered Master, 1991)
**''ID number:'' '''C-372'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, [[Micro Trailer]], Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps

: As the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, the Japanese-exclusive Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". Powered by four AA batteries, the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

:Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

:Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were stamp graphed on him, similarly, Hot Rod's were replaced with the same stamp graphing applications. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (light blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, sound and lights module

:The first ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy was largely identical in sculpt to the original Generation 1 figure release. While his cab robot retained his original red and blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components were changed to a lighter blue, as was Roller. Another running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg.

:''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories, as well as two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, he is armed with a pair of black missile launchers that fit in his fists and fire red spring-loaded missiles; these launchers were retooled from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade]. Secondly, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles the air conditioners used on refrigerated trailers), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] (via a new slot sculpted into the cab robot). Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can easily overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect and a garbled voice that said "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg.

:[[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a Kenworth truck of unknown model which defies Optimus convention by being one continuous unit, rather than the traditional cab-and-trailer combo. Decals form the windows of a faux truck face to represent his chest, featuring both his name and what appears to be a [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|life support readout coming alive towards the end]]. In addition to a small gun, he is armed with a large missile launcher, which can fire a rubber-tipped rocket by means of a bellows which you slam your fist down on to produce a puff of air. The launcher is accessible in both modes, ending up mounted on his right forearm in robot mode; the bellows is attached via a rubber hose and cannot be disconnected, but stores on the figures's back when not in use, as do the rockets.

[[File:G2toy laser optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|What was that about shoulder-speakers, Jazz?]]

: Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

:In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

:Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. The following year, it was released by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart, Scourge, with retooled discs that lacked the Autobot insignia. Following this, the next use of the mold was planned to be ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The modified tooling was also used when Laser Prime was reissued by Takara in 2006 with a modified deco ([[#G2reissue|see below]]), and for the e-Hobby exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]] that accompanied the reissue's release. In 2015, ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Year of the Goat]]'' Optimus Prime, another repaint version, comes with partially transparent plastic torso.

:In addition to being the most popular Generation 2 figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular Transformers toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: A redeco of the ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Firecracker]], Optimus Prime transforms into a red Hot Wheels-sized Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. He is armed with a small red laser rifle. The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic.

:The Japanese release of this toy swapped out the orange plastic for neon yellow, and had a large tampograph on the car's hood that was shaped like a stylized letter 'T', with the Transformers logo in it. Going against the grain, this toy was released in Japan with the name "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".

:In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant). The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] (who Prime ''really'' looks a lot like), and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[R.E.V.]].

: Combat Hero Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released.

:The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

:A finished sample of Combat Hero Optimus Prime was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

It sported a modified deco, with the flat grey plastic on both the trailer and Prime's chest now replaced with silver chrome; additionally, new Autobot symbol tampographs were added to the doors of Prime's cab mode and the front end of his trailer, and a pair of new chest-window stickers featuring an illustration of the Matrix of Leadership replaced the original decals.

==Beast Wars==
{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-6'''[[File:BWtoy-Primalbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm Batman, and I can breathe in space.]]
**''Accessories:'' Two swords
:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character to either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal]].

*'''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 1996/1997/1998)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, four missiles, flail
: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''Comics Bom Bom'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

: Available only in a special CD-ROM two-pack with a [[Megatron (G1)/toys#CDgator|purple redeco of "Megaligator"]], this version of Optimus Primal (maybe) retains its previous gimmickry. his back features a silver Maximal [[Insignia|faction symbol]] plus "C-ROM", as in "Cybertron", get it? Huh? And Megatron has the "D-ROM"? See what they did there?

: Just which character this toy represents is up for debate. The toy's [[bio]] claims he used to turn into a tractor-trailer (indicating Optimus Prime), but considering the timeframe of when they were written and the whole lack of a stance on who Primal "was" before the show and blah blah blah... it's just easier to file this under the same iffiness as the original toy bios set on modern [[Earth]] and leave it at that.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a redeco and slight retool of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash]], transforming into a Cybertronic truck cab. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile launchers. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the launchers operated on a gravity-feed system that saw a new missile drop into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession, but for ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be dialed back [[for safety reasons]]. The missiles had to be lengthened to prevent choking hazards, and so the toy's launchers were modified to accommodate them, becoming straightforward spring-loaded single-firing weapons. The original Thunderclash [[sticker]]s were not properly redecoed to match the new Machine Wars color scheme, resulting in white stickers that are meant to be unnecessarily applied to white patches on his pelvis.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''Generation 2'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword that the toy no longer has.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys R Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]: In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened, while the Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys R Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

:As yet another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues added a few extra goodies to spice things up. Chiefly, the figure was armed with a new [[energon-axe]], based on the weapon used by Prime in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", which plugs into either of the headlight-holes that normally accommodate Prime's fists. Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

:As the name suggests, this impressive incarnation of Optimus Prime was produced in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of what would come to be several installments in their ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]], but incorrectly shown to be long in the stock photography shown at right), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt|Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[#Classics|DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

*'''Convoy Perfect Edition''' (2006/2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-4'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, cardboard trailer
:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-4S'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe
:Released by TakaraTomy as part of a 2010 promotion honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in blacks and greys, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

:This version of Convoy depicts [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] on its communicators.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage
:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

*'''Convoy''' (2011, 2016)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#mp10|Ion blaster]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#mp10|Matrix of Leadership]], [[Energon-axe#mp10|energon-axe]], [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|trailer/Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky figurine]]
:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:Being a brand new and intricate remake of the Autobot leader, MP-10 was used as the gold standard in terms of scale for future Masterpiece figures, with all the upcoming releases being sized to best match him. Much like his older incarnation, he was also cherished by collectors, generating heated debates on which version is the best one up to this day.<ref>https://www.google.pt/search?q=mp01+vs+mp10</ref>

:On the other hand, this mold also became a staple source for various [[knockoff]]s, ranging from recolored to upscaled/downsized figures.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, the third ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can stimulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a modified version of MP-10's Spike figure, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled ( in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was also used (minus the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts) for [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]].

*'''G1 Convoy''' (2004)

**''Accessories:'' "Convoy Gun", missile launcher, missile, energon-axe, 4 fists (2 left, 2 right)

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes its cue from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes, least of all anything that could be described as a successful transformation.

:G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

:Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''T.H.S.-02'''[[File:THS02Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Expensive and tiny.]]
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, [[jet pack|rocket pack]], 8 hands (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand

: ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, rocket pack, 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand, 2 missile launchers, 2 heads

:Available exclusively through e-Hobby, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2006)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun
: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]]

**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, "[[Surfblade]]" surfboard/sword weapon, [[Marissa Faireborn]] figurine with stand and 2 pairs of arms and legs

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#CD collections and special episodes|Someday, Under the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

: Based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]", this version of Prime transforms into Cybertronian truck. The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new modern Optimus Prime design based upon the original Optimus Prime, as is the intention for the ''Classics'' toyline. He transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus can also use the wind vane as a shield, If one of his fists is folded down. The unusually high amount of yellow paint used throughout the body is supposed to emulate the yellow stickers from the original G1 toy.

:The toy has a trailer hitch, but does not come with a trailer. There do exist several [[IP theft|unlicensed upgrade kits]] that have a trailer compatible with all versions of this mold.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

*'''The Ultimate Battle''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle

: This ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is a smaller, Deluxe Class figure with a noticeable physical resemblance to Takara's ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' Prime figure, and a transformation that is about as successful. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' ("Sons of Cybertron", above) and [[#United|United]] (below).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leader, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, display stand

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his [[#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]] figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecoed as a mail-in prize for TakaraTomy's ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' promotion, intended to be used with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]], and again when it was packaged with the "Last Production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his right shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable Lego-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:This redeco of ''Henkei'' Convoy is cast almost entirely in translucent colored plastic. Also known by the nickname "Crystal Convoy" among fans, it was first released as an exclusive for the Japanese convention Tokyo Toy Fair 2008, limited to 1000 pieces at the event, but was later made available through [[e-HOBBY]]. It was sold in a monochrome-blue version of ''Henkei'' Convoy's regular packaging.

:[[vacuum metallizing|Chromed]] entirely in gold like many other [[Lucky Draw figure]]s before it, this version of Prime was available only through a ''[[TV Magazine]]'' mail-in promotion held in December 2008, and was limited to only five units, making it one of the rarest officially available Transformers toys in the world.

:Unfortunately, this toy has become the target of several [[knockoff]]s aimed at gullible collectors. Most of the fake ones can be told apart from the real deal by various details not matching up. The real one is cast in gold plastic, painted over in gold chrome and sports small red Autobot [[insignia|logos]] on both shoulders.

==Universe (2008)==
===Generation 1 Series===
[[File:Universetoy 25th anniversary optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=2|And the block has returned!!!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, sound effects module, comic, DVD

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

*'''Convoy Ultimate Silver''' ([[February 26]], 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy Super Black]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]]. It was retooled into ''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' [[#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Star Saber (Victory)#GT|GT-R Saber]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

*'''Convoy Vibrant Red''' (February 26, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01'''

:"Vibrant Red" ''Alternity'' Convoy is a redeco of the "Ultimate Silver" figure in the much more traditional red and blue Prime color scheme, representing the Optimus Prime of universal stream [[Primax 109.0 Beta]]. The figure was available simultaneously with the Ultimate Silver version, sharing the same packaging and pack-in materials, save for the color of the illustration on the front of the box, and a sticker that identified the figure within.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser Rod (weapon)|Sword]]

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into a racing truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5 mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Optimus Prime is based on his original Generation 1 appearance. He features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake grill]] for his robot mode, and his large legs result in a fairly thick and compact truck bed. He is part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]", a subline that outfits all its toys with [[rubsign]]s, and in this case, it's located on the left side of the truck/his left elbow.

: The first toy in TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]], transforming into a Cybertronic "armored truck". As has been TakaraTomy's won't of late, he now sports a metallic red paint job, with brighter pink paint applications and cooler grey parts, and features several additional paint details to those present on the Hasbro figure in the form of black chest windows and pink lines on his face mask. His rifle transforms as well, folding and plugging into the roof of the vehicle mode. The rifle can also peg into his forearms, and, in its compact configuration, can attach to his shoulders via peg holes on the backs of his front tires or stored behind his back in [[robot mode]].

:The second Optimus Prime toy in TakaraTomy's ''United'' toyline is another redeco of the ''Classics'' multi-pack Deluxe-sized toy (the first release in Japan), this time featuring an extensive metallic red paint job on the majority of the red plastic, and he features metallic sheen on the unpaintable red plastic and his blue plastic is now brighter. While the paint masks are identical to the Special Edition release, ''United'' Optimus Prime features additional paint operations on the hip, the stomach grille, the fold-up waist panels, the lower chest piece (at least in the front), and the forehead.

:Although the stock photo (pictured from the right) shows both of his biceps painted silver with his Autobot insignia tampographed on the left shoulder, the final product omits the paint operation (due to being molded with unpaintable plastic) and the insignia is placed on his left forearm, just like his ''Classics'' figure.

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 (along with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Shining|''Prime'' Shining Optimus Prime]]), Black Optimus Prime is a very minor redeco of the previously unreleased [[#GenteiBlack|''Gentei!

As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

*'''Optimus Prime & Autobot Roller''' (Legends Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #001'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Optimus Prime is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]], and features [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5 mm handle. He has a 5 mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3 mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: The stock photo of Optimus' vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed: his head slightly sticks out from the truck roof, which prevents the front windows to clamp together. This mold was also used to make ''Thrilling 30'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Huffer (G1)#Generations|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)#Generations|Autobot Pipes]].

**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #002'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Energon Axe

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by [[Guido Guidi|Guido Guidi's]] design for the character, originally seen in ''[[Spotlight: Blurr]]''. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5 mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, the side grooves are still able to light up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight OrionPax cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Since the hilt of the Energon axe is painted, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/toys#T30Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

===Combiner Wars===
[[File:GenerationsVoyOP.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Beefcake is the right of all sentient beings.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''Generations: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5 mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]]. He also features two pair of fake windows on his robot and gestalt chest halves. The combiner head can be used as a robot mode head if you're feeling silly.

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed. Unlike Motormaster, this version of Optimus was the only one to not receive the improved hip ratchets implemented in its future releases in some shape or form by Hasbro, though they would be used for the Battle Core redeco later in the line. However, there are third party ratchet replacements for the hips.

:Apart from this, Optimus Prime is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to a number of design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes-and-tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small amount of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars''-style toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs. He can combine with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] if one wishes to have an IDW-accurate Optimus Maximus.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game.

**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's [[Motormaster (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Motormaster]], [[Grand Scourge#Toys|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the ''Combiner Wars''-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]]. He can also combine with ''Unite Warriors'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Streetwise]], [[Groove (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Groove]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Prowl]], and ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (Generations)#Generations|Rook]] to form White Convoy Grand Prime, as seen in the [[God Neptune comic 3|''Generations Selects'' Special Comic promoting God Neptune]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up in the U.S. at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

The figure's transformation engineering had taken cues from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]] figure, while it still retains the same ol' articulation.

:As with other earlier Cyber Series figures, Optimus Prime had a rather strange release cycle. At first, he only retailed exclusively in Asia and Latin America, with the closest to a U.S. release being in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. He did, however, end up being available in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and also later as a Walgreens exclusive.

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:In an undocumented feature, because he comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'', his weapons can be combined into a huge, multi-barreled rifle. His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit. Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus has trouble standing flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet. His gray plastic comes tinged somewhat, perhaps as a result of a [[Photodegradation|yellowed]] specimen of the original Powermaster figure (such as the one on this very page) being used as a reference. He comes with two different Autobot symbols: The ones on the shoulders are a Movie variant, while the trailer features a ''Generation 1''-styled insignia.

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Magnus Prime#Generations|Magnus Prime]].

*'''Diac & Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Double-barreled rifle, [[Diac#Generations|Diac]] Titan Master

:This Optimus Prime is a new Voyager-sized Triple Changer mold, which transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane (based on the [[Action Master]] [[Armored Convoy]] vehicle) and back. His robot mode is heavily based on ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]], whilst the deco appears to draw from Star Convoy. His Titan Master partner [[Diac#Toys|Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case these are spring-loaded pylons. His robot mode also features fake truck windows.

:This iteration of the mold and its redecos exhibit a minor design flaw: there are two tabs on the plane mode's wings that prevent the truck mode's trailer from fully closing at the rear. Ostensibly, this can be rectified by setting the wings slightly askew so they can properly flatten against each other. However, this leads to some holes on each wing not being lined up with some corresponding pegs on the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Legends'' [[Scourge (RID)#Voyager|Black Convoy]] and ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]], and retooled into [[Octane#Titans Return|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style regardless of character faction.

:This mold would've been redecoed as "Action Master" Optimus Prime with a redecoed Infinitus Titan Master for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

Like Year of the Goat Soundwave, Year of the Goat Optimus Prime features an awkward mix of orange, black, clear pink (in some parts including missiles, the discs, and even the pump!), some clear blue (the missile's tips), translucent plastic, and some hint of chrome silver (mostly his trailer parts, which happens to give the trailer somewhat of a resemblance to that of the aforementioned Scourge).

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Optimus Prime is yet another redeco of the ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager toy. Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores).

He also comes with a new hoverboard accessory (resembling the one [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] used in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''), which Shreddicus Maximus (or any other Titan/Prime Master) can attach to. This board is designed to attach to the included three-piece skating ramp & rail assembly, which can be folded up and rebuilt into a railgun (get it?) that other figures can wield.

: Optimus & Shreddicus were initially [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2017, where they sold out.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Optimus Prime" transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into his "Orion Pax" form based on his appearance in the Generation 1 episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", and he is able to form the core of Optimus Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Prime's entire body, sharing a noticeable amount of details with MP-10 mold, most notably almost identical head sculpt. He is the first non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' G1 Optimus Prime figure to include removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, which is stored in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix of Leadership can be replaced with any [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons for Orion Pax to use, while also store on Optimus Prime's back via visible [[5 mm post]]s of Orion Pax's hands, though this is undocumented in the instructions. The Takara version of the mold lacks the production numbers located at his right shins. Depending on the individual copy, Optimus Prime is prone to having a number of quality control issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to lacking stickers on the trailer pieces. On the other hand, the trailer can also be towed by any other figure with a compatible hitch.

**''Accessories:'' "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (combines to form "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster")
:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms from robot to [[For safety reasons|short-smokestacked]] Cybertronian armored truck and back. For an inexpensive mass-retail release, Optimus's robot mode is very accurate to his design from the original cartoon (albeit with added details) and also features excellent poseability on par with a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, resulting in a version of the character that gives collectors lots of bang for their buck. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," which is an axe that transforms into a shield, and the "W-M3 RF [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]]." Both weapons can combine to form the "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster." An argument could be made that being able to flip around Optimus's underarm kibble to form underslung gatling guns is an undocumented gimmick. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Despite being a Voyager-scale figure, the truck mode is considerably small, in scale with a Legends-sized figure. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Optimus Prime's box art, which reads "LIGHT THE DARKEST HOUR."

:While Optimus greatly resembles the inner robot of ''Siege'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], he is actually a completely different mold and therefore not compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]]. This mold was later used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Nemesis Prime]]. A large number of parts of this figure were reused for the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime figure released in 2020. Due to this, the trailer packaged with the ''Earthrise'' figure is fully compatible with the ''Siege'' figure's truck mode.

:Care should be taken not to pull the waist transformation hinge too far back or else the partially open clip housing the pin may break.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP7V5NVghvE]</ref> Depending on the individual quality control, the roof panel (notably the rear right side) may not shut properly in vehicle mode.

**''Accessories:'' 5 "JF-50 Twinblast [[Super Mode|Galaxy Pack]]" armor pieces, 2 "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers," "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser," 2 front wheels/armguards
:Part of the second wave ''Siege'' Leader Class figures, "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" is an extensive retool of the same line's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], taking heavy design cues from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] (the Japanese series name being "''Galaxy Force''," which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the ''Cybertron'' figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers" are unpainted blasters from ''Siege'' Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]'s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to [[gang-molding]]. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:The core figure's robot mode is inspired by Prime's Generation 1 look, but with [[Kibble|vehicle mode details]] and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his ''Cybertron'' counterpart. As with the original ''Cybertron'' figure, the barrel of the truck's left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser." The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his ''Cybertron'' counterpart's forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulderpads [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|resembling halves of his truck cab]] were included to complete the Super Mode's resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode's cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the ''Cybertron'' figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original's gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate the back's weight. While they're hardly needed since the armor's bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the pieces also prevent the leg armors from standing flat when left folded in.

:Unlike the above Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]], as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus's Super Mode gear.

:Amusingly, this figure actually received a full in-hand video review<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxCuap0yVlc TonTon Review's review of Siege Leader Optimus, 2 February 2019]</ref> before Hasbro officially unveiled its existence at [[Toy Fair 2019]]. The box art of his vehicle modes is [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos|mistransformed]], likely as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus, but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the ''Cybertron'' design. Additionally, there are existing stock photos of the figure without the wingpack and the smaller robot head flipped out.

:Specially branded for the 35th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Siege'' "Classic Animation Optimus Prime" is a redeco of the Voyager Class figure above, featuring a cel-shaded paint pattern that evokes his appearance in the cartoon (though the physical result is more like that of [[Transformers: Devastation|''Devastation'']]). In addition, the grey plastics and paint operations are now replaced with white, and the tire rims' paint is omitted.

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Star Convoy is a retool of the [[#Power of the Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Leader Class mold]], featuring new lower legs, head, upper shoulders, and waist parts for both the armor and inner robot, and a new torso for the latter. The Optimus Prime inner robot is remolded to resemble his Generation 1 toy, complete with toy-accurate yellow eyes. Most of the armor's grey parts (especially the evolution armor's arms) are now remolded in red plastic to be more accurate to Star Convoy's character model, though there are a few sacrifices leaving some of the red patches on the trailer. The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the "Silver Matrix" that does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas, with the entire accessory dipped in chrome. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a "Big Bang Cannon". Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy's stickers come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied. The star-shaped piece introduces an additional step to access the matrix chamber and is prone to popping off from the chest if not transformed correctly.

:A "Z Base Mode" was created for the character for the ''Selects'' [[Super Megatron comic 2|Special Comic promoting Super Megatron]], and the toy (and any of the ''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Optimus Prime molds) is capable of being configured into this form.

:This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and, thanks to brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first ''Selects'' figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#Generations|Ion Blaster]], shield/ramp, trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Generations|Combat Deck]], artillery robot, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Leader Class lineup, this Optimus Prime is a new cartoon-accurate, Voyager sized mold with the front of the head and legs, knee flaps, and various inner parts reused from his ''Siege'' toy. This also means that, like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is unusually small for a Voyager figure.

:For the first time for a non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' toy, Optimus Prime comes with a trailer (which is also compatible with the ''Siege'' toy) that converts into a combat deck/repair bay with an artillery robot, which can be detached and via a 5mm peg on the bottom as a jetpack. Awesome. He is also the first Voyager-sized figure with an opening chest compartment containing a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory. In an undocumented feature, the Matrix is able to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment or attach to similarly sized posts such as the ones inside his trailer. His transformation scheme reuses some engineering and concepts from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class figures and ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS38|38 Optimus Prime]], with a new torso transformation. Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]. Part of the trailer's ramp detaches to form a shield and can connect to other ramps in the [[A.I.R. Lock System]]. Like ''Siege'' Jetfire, Optimus Prime features a hinge joint in each of his knuckles but without the flip-out post hole mechanism, instead having it facilitated by the shape of his palm and thumb. Interestingly, the placement of his front wheels in robot mode evokes the [[Studio OX]] version of his character model (though significantly larger compared to the artwork). Optimus also has molded drilled-rotor brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure.

:As the front grill/wheel piece is connected with a c-clip, removing it allows the waist to turn without being hindered. Whether by coincidence or not, the Energon Strikeshield from the ''Siege'' figure can attach onto the forearm (if the hands are tucked away) with the tabs on the axe's hinged handle, though it looks better on the left side. Also likely coincidental, the trailer's hitch post is at exactly the right height to let it rest inside the 5mm hole on [[Roller (G1)#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Roller]] and can even be pulled along on flat surfaces with the tiny truck.

[[File:TF-WFC-ER-Prime-Comparison.jpg|left|300px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Dodged another shot!]]]]
:Confusingly, the figure had many color differences in different official promotional images. The original 3D renders depicted his colors completely show-accurate to the G1 cartoon (minus the blue codpiece, and with quite rare toy-accurate yellow eyes), the lack of striping on the forearms/side doors, and fully blue artillery robot for the trailer, while the pre-release prototype seen in New York Comic Con 2019 and the secondary stock photos had his hands and elbows molded in grey, with artillery robot being cast in grey and silver plastic similar to the rest of the trailer. According to [[John Warden]], this was due to the limitations of the mold. Even later, Takara's stock photos showed the figure with blue elbows and a blue and silver artillery robot. The retail release of the figure ultimately, for the most part, went with colors showcased in Hasbro's physical toy stock photos, but with previously yellow eyes now more cartoon-accurate blue, and with his hands, codpiece, and the back piece of his head painted in metallic blue.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIu3DkO1Sj0</ref> Early renders also displayed the figure's inner-shins as being molded in the same blue color as the rest of the legs, although the final figure presents them cast in gray and unpainted. The sample on the TakaraTomy stock photos also depict his trailer hitch as a single piece.

:Unfortunately, the change from toy accurate yellow eyes to cartoon-accurate blue clashes with the unpainted blue face, making it barely visible. The figure's head can be swapped with the head of the ''Siege'' figure (though the blue plastic is a slightly lighter shade) but it can cause some parts clash while transforming, as the back of the ''Earthrise'' head is a new, flatter part. This is also why the part is a painted red piece, so exercise some caution while tucking away/flipping out the head while transforming.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Optimus's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Optimus' piece of the map contains the labelled location of a planet called "[[Micro|MICRON]]".

:The non-converting long-barreled Ion Blaster, the Energon Axe, [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sideswipe]]'s jetpack, and [[Roller (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Roller]] were sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone]] set, though due to a section of Optimus' back being marginally wider than the space available, some force may be required to fully attach the jetpack.

:The Combat Deck, including its artillery robot and shield/ramp, was redecoed for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack]]. The Optimus Prime mold was also used to make [[Optimus_Prime_(SG)#Generations|''Shattered Glass'' Optimus Prime]].

:Optimus Prime first saw release in Bangkok before its actual release date in March.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ion Blaster]], shield/ramp, trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#AltUniverseOP|Combat Deck]], artillery robot, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:"Alternate Universe Optimus Prime" is a grayscaled redeco of the figure above with a new head that evokes the battle damage and his death in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The Matrix of Leadership is the same as the mass retail Leader, though the Ion Blaster is painted completely silver and his rear calves are painted. Another change is the number of lugnuts on the wheels of the trailer. The normal retail version has 10 lug nuts per wheel, whilst this release has none. He is packaged in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-styled box that depicts Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] grieving during his death scene reflected on a window of his damaged truck mode.
:There are reported issues where the left chest piece is unable to tab in fully due to a deformed pin, leaving an small uneven gap visible in robot mode.

:This is the only ''Earthrise'' toy to lack an ID number and map piece and isn't part of the Galactic Odyssey Collection.

:Alternate Universe Optimus Prime was supposed to release as an exclusive for Amazon Prime Day 2020, though the day was pushed back several months, making the toy release much earlier. The figure first saw release in some Malaysian hobby shops ''before'' it was fully revealed on Hasbro's "Fan First Friday" stream. The figure was later released in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

He comes with Battle Masters Enerax and Sheeldron, translucent orange redecoes of ''Siege'' [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]] and ''Earthrise'' [[Soundbarrier#Toys|Soundbarrier]] respectively, without the effects parts. In terms of deco, Optimus' blue plastic/paint operations and the unpaintable gray joints are replaced with the same darker shade (which also coincidentally resembles the erroneous deco used for most of TakaraTomy's stock photos of the mold), the blue translucent plastic is now colorless, and the face is now thoroughly painted with the metallic blue paint on the eyes are swapped with light blue. The painted grill on the robot's chest is also omitted.

:The stock renders for both the robot and vehicle modes are inconsistent with the later stock photos: The forearms are still depicted as stripeless in robot mode, while the rear hip piece and the thighs are differently colored in the truck mode render.

:As with other ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures, Optimus Prime was exclusive to Walmart in Canada and the United States.

:Part of the first wave of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, roughly Legends-sized mold that according to his product copy and stock images is meant to be posed with larger toys of the same character, but we'd be stupid not to note that he's also a good size to interact with Titan Class figures. His transformation shares engineering with the ''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure, but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' mold, down to detailing like the ''vestigial knee flaps from the Siege mold.''

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]]'s right arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, only molded to remove that toy's missile-launching gimmick.

**''Pieces'': '''22'''

: Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

: However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus's]] gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

: Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

He features a similar Generation 1-inspired deco to the original toy, but aims for a "cleaner" cartoon-accurate appearance than his ''Henkei! Henkei!'' release by omitting many paint details such as stripes on the cab, while the energy unit is colored black with a silver Autobot insignia in [[homage]] to [[#Generation 2|Generation 2 Optimus Prime]]. In robot mode, Prime's energy unit transforms into a large blaster and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. He was available exclusively at [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

:Only available at [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]], this Optimus Prime is a redeco of the ''Classics'' figure.

**<s>''Accessories'': Sword</s>

:Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt, the deco for its initial release is ''almost'' identical to the ''Transformers'' release from 2012, having silver chest-windows instead of light-metallic-blue, plus a large "CE" mark and number on the backs of its legs, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/top compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs.

:Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Optimus Prime/Autobot Roller two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Optimus Prime's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Russia. In Singapore it was released together with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]] as part of the promotion for ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' in selected cinemas.
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

His truck mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Convoy kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a blue and red theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

All of his weapons can combine to form an unwieldy superweapon. The flaws from the original mold are likely to be retained from this release.

**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots

:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip out head joint are now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a more G1-based truck in just four steps. His instructions are incorrect; for truck mode, his legs must be folded in before the arms, otherwise the locking tabs on the arms will get in the way. Due to his transformation, he ends up with no elbows and a fake chest. He also has problems standing up due to hollow legs.

:Optimus Prime is now decoed in white, dark gray and red, with a Ghostbusters "no ghosts" logo on his right shoulder in addition to the Autobot logo on his left. The trailer is decoed similarly, with Ecto-1 style details adorning the sides, as well as green ghost splatter. Optimus's vehicle mode bumper includes an "ECTO-35" plate, which can be seen through his chest in robot mode, referencing the 35th Anniversary of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises.

:He includes all his accessories, aside from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and his axe, gaining a number of additional ones consistent with the theme. The trailer opens out into the "Ecto-Base," or can be stood upright as the "Ecto Maintenance Dock." A snap-on cover can be applied to Roller to turn him into a ghost trap, a painted opaque version of the [[Slimer]] figure included with Ectotron, and a "roof-rack accessory" using the same mold as [[Ectotron|Ectotron's]] that pegs into the roof of the trailer. This final item converts into a proton pack for robot mode, pegging into the hole in his back, and a hose connects his ion blaster to the proton pack to serve as a particle thrower. In addition, the figure's packaging is shaped like a proton pack, complete with clips to enable the buyer to strap it to their back.

:Ectotron can ''sort of'' fit into Prime's trailer, but this requires the former's equipment rack to be removed from the roof, and clearance within the trailer prevents the trailer's rear tailgate from closing.

:Ecto-35 Edition Optimus Prime debuted as an exclusive at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2019, with additional availability at Fan Expo Canada and the [[Hasbro Pulse]] online store.

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not so Optimus Prime.]]

*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.

*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>

*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#G1v1|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:

*In the USA and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the USA and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]];
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>
*In 2019, Optimus was rereleased once again, this time without his trailer and with his original long smokestacks (something he hasn't had in America since Generation 2), in Hasbro's Vintage G1 line of reissues exclusive to Walmart stores in US and Canada.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Overcompensating.]]

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|Blockhead.]]
*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|''Triple-Power-Headmaster Optimus Prime'' was just too damn long to put on the box.]]
*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogues reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime's]] package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
[[File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|left|thumb|125px|Wait...I'm sure this is from Finland. But why did [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] say...]]
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a print ad for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009#Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the size of the figure was changed.

[[File:Bumblebeeg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeSpfUHqxG8 The original sweet boy.]]][[File:G1-toy BumblebeeChina.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Chinese-release Bumblebee. Note the unpainted rear bumpers.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

[[File:G1toy silver volks.jpg|thumb|''"Eu vou a pé eu vou de fusca / Eu vou em busca de um amor..."''|upright=1.67]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:AntexVolks.jpg|thumb|''"... Eu vou a pé vou de fusca / Aonde tem amor eu vou!"''|upright=1.66]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper's]] toy head.

:The inner robot to Pretender Classics Bumblebee was sold without the shell as a [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] figure, but with the inner-robot gun to his teammate [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]], who had Bumblebee's small gun in exchange.

*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' "Laser pistol"

:In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

*'''Bumblebee with Heli-pack''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Heli-pack, "Astral Exploder Rifle"

:Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large "high-powered air rifle" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s.

:This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available during the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run (from 1984-1990).

*'''Goldbug''' (1991)
:Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues. It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

:This mold was also used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

:Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word Autobot.

:Bumblebee's second release in the ''Generation 2'' line was as a recolor of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine that looks ''exactly'' like the [[Wikia:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]] car from Mattel's ''Hot Wheels'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "Back Burner" and "Sonic Special". He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Crosswise (RID)#Toys|Crosswise]] and [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]]. It was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Bumblebee (G2)|"next-generation" clone of Bumblebee]].

*'''Bumble''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 04'''

: Not much more than an inch tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Bumblebee is a scaled-down version of his original toy, retaining the larger figure's [[transformation]] scheme but losing its rolling wheels by sheer necessity of size. Bumblebee was sold as part of the line's first wave and, like all the figures, came [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].

*'''Minibot Team Set''' (6-pack, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''12'''

:"Bumble" was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Drag]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]], and [[Warpath (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

:The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsBumblebeeDesign.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His alternate mode was the saucer-like car seen the Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' (which was itself based on the first cartoon appearance of Bumblebee). An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately these never made it into production.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

*'''Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:A [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] three pack, the ''Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[#Classics|''Classics'']], [[Premium Series]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Premium|live-action movie]], and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Toys|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:This three-pack was available in ''Movie'' style packaging.

*'''Bumble''' (Deluxe, 2008-[[March 13|03-13]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:This mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]].

Several samples of this figure were leaked in 2010, with [[fandom|fans]] arguing over whether it was a legitimate Hasbro or TakaraTomy product (with the [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] spoiler and hood vent strongly hinting towards TakaraTomy) or a [[knockoff]].

:The ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues featured a set similar to the 2004 ''The Transformers Collection'' Minibots set; this time, rather than a mix of 1984 and 1985 Mini-Vehicles, it included mostly figures from 1986 plus Bumblebee (whose original toy had still shipped in 1986), bundling him with [[Outback (G1)#Encore|Outback]], [[Pipes (G1)#Encore|Pipes]], [[Swerve (G1)#Encore|Swerve]], and [[Tailgate (G1)#Encore|Tailgate]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2008)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Cliffjumper]], [[#Transformers (2010)|''Transformers'' "Gold Bumblebee"]], and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] from the Bumblebee/Starscream [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] four-pack.

:The [[prototype|sample]] used for Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] sported unpainted gold legs, but the final toy has the legs painted over in blue. So far, no gold-legged specimens have been found in the wild. Conversely, the vehicle mode stock photo on the back of his packaging implies that the ''entire'' leg pieces (or at least his ankle joints) have been painted blue, as there are two very obvious blue patches on his hood.

He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

**''Set number'': '''A6087'''
**''Pieces'': '''40'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, rifle, large gun, axe, [[jet pack|rocket-pack]]

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Bumblebee comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Bumblebee toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.

: Bumblebee's tampos were also used to make Custom Kreon [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Custom|Cliffjumper]].

**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: This version of Bumblebee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, including visored-and-masked face. He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he's based on does not have said feature.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

[[File:Alt-Modes Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Alt-Modes, 2016)

:''[[Alt-Modes]]'' Bumblebee is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a car when the Autobot faction symbol on his head is flipped. He was [[Blindpacking|blind-boxed]] and available in two cases of the first collection and the only case of the second collection.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Alt-Modes'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Cliffjumper]].

====Titans Return====
[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Legends-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't expect him to shelfwarm like his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|''Movie-verse'' counterpart]] anytime soon.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

====War for Cybertron Trilogy====
[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-Trilogy-Deluxe-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wait I'm a retool of Cliffjumper now? This must be Shattered Glass or something...]]
*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

===Construct-Bots===

* '''Bumblebee''' (Triple-Changer, 2013)
**''Pieces: '''69'''
: Part of Wave 1 of Construct-Bots Triple-Changers, Bumblebee can transform into a sports car-like thing or a jet-like thing. He is heavily armed with two large shoulder-mounted launchers, a third launcher hidden in his jet mode nosecone as well as two large swords.

:Many of his parts were used to make himself again (see below) as well as [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Construct-bots|Cliffjumper]].

[[File:ConstructBots_ArsenalPackBumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"I feel lighter."]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Scout, 2013)
**''Pieces: '''45'''
: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car. He uses largely the same part scheme as Triple Changer Bumblebee, except his head is remolded to have his battle mask up, and uses Ironhide's shoulders. He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

* '''Arsenal Pack Bumblebee''' (Scout, 2014)
**''Pieces: '''51'''
: Arsenal Pack Bumblebee turns into a car. He is almost identical to the previous Scout release. Like all Arsenal Pack toys it was canceled and you'll never own one.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Evolution 2-Pack, 2014)
**'''22 OF 30'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2014]]-[[August 3|08-03]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

===Hero Mashers===
[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper's]] arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

* '''Bumblebee & Strafe Team Pack''' (Team Pack, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

===Transformers (2014)===
[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|(Black insignia version pictured)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

He has no accessories, but holes in his robot mode hands can accommodate other toys' weapons.

[[File:Bumble Bee Masterpiece.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I've been all around the world, seen all the sights; but this is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.]]
*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21G'''
**''Accessories'': Laser gun, spare left-side rearview mirror, 3-piece jetpack, spare tire cover, "normal" and "smile" extra faces

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

: This toy was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-45'''
**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

:The figure was exclusively released as one of the band's [https://bumpofchicken.com/goods/list/detail?id=14&item_id=46 online shop items], though customers had to register as an EMTG (Entertainment Music Ticket Guard) member to purchase it. Collectors first had an opportunity to purchase the figure in-person at an event at Tokyo Dome from [[November 3]]–4, 2019, starting at 8:30 AM JST. In-person purchasers needed to have a ticket to the band's concert in order to purchase the figure. Online orders were also available at noon on [[November 8]], 2019, and quickly sold out.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

[[File:G1toy silver volks.jpg|thumb|''"Eu vou a pé eu vou de fusca / Eu vou em busca de um amor..."''|upright=1.67]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

[[File:AntexVolks.jpg|thumb|''"... Eu vou a pé vou de fusca / Aonde tem amor eu vou!"''|upright=1.66]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper's]] toy head.

:In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

*'''Bumblebee with Heli-pack''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Heli-pack, "Astral Exploder Rifle"

:Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large "high-powered air rifle" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s.

:This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available during the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run (from 1984-1990).

*'''Goldbug''' (1991)
:Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues. It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

:Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word Autobot.

:Bumblebee's second release in the ''Generation 2'' line was as a recolor of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine that looks ''exactly'' like the [[Wikia:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]] car from Mattel's ''Hot Wheels'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "Back Burner" and "Sonic Special". He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

: Not much more than an inch tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Bumblebee is a scaled-down version of his original toy, retaining the larger figure's [[transformation]] scheme but losing its rolling wheels by sheer necessity of size. Bumblebee was sold as part of the line's first wave and, like all the figures, came [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''12'''

:"Bumble" was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Drag]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]], and [[Warpath (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

:The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsBumblebeeDesign.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

His alternate mode was the saucer-like car seen the Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' (which was itself based on the first cartoon appearance of Bumblebee). An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately these never made it into production.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

:This ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee toy is a redeco of ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyLOC|Hot Shot]], transforming into a modified Chrysler ME Four Twelve concept car.

*'''Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:A [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] three pack, the ''Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[#Classics|''Classics'']], [[Premium Series]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Premium|live-action movie]], and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Toys|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:This three-pack was available in ''Movie'' style packaging.

*'''Bumble''' (Deluxe, 2008-[[March 13|03-13]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:This mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumble & Minibots''' (5-pack, 2008)
** ''Japanese ID number'': '''10'''

:The ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues featured a set similar to the 2004 ''The Transformers Collection'' Minibots set; this time, rather than a mix of 1984 and 1985 Mini-Vehicles, it included mostly figures from 1986 plus Bumblebee (whose original toy had still shipped in 1986), bundling him with [[Outback (G1)#Encore|Outback]], [[Pipes (G1)#Encore|Pipes]], [[Swerve (G1)#Encore|Swerve]], and [[Tailgate (G1)#Encore|Tailgate]]. ''Encore'' Bumblebee retains the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] head sculpt from the ''Transformers Collection'' release, but now sports several additional paint operations: his eyes are blue, his brake lights are red, and his bumpers and headlights are silver.

[[File:TF-Universe-(2008)-Legends-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Stingers and plasma cannon not included. (Neither is a laser pistol.)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2008)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Cliffjumper]], [[#Transformers (2010)|''Transformers'' "Gold Bumblebee"]], and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] from the Bumblebee/Starscream [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] four-pack.

:The [[prototype|sample]] used for Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] sported unpainted gold legs, but the final toy has the legs painted over in blue. So far, no gold-legged specimens have been found in the wild. Conversely, the vehicle mode stock photo on the back of his packaging implies that the ''entire'' leg pieces (or at least his ankle joints) have been painted blue, as there are two very obvious blue patches on his hood.

:While the overall deco is similar to that of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cybertronian Bumblebee, some of the [[paint operation]]s are different: The Autobot [[insignia|logo]] is now placed on the side of his right arm/passenger door of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (the official [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of the packaging are flipped, depicting it on the opposite side instead) rather than on the robot mode's chest/vehicle mode's roof, and the red stripes on the "running boards" on the sides of his vehicle mode have been omitted.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:There are two packaging [[variant]]s of this two-pack: One version (which is also reflected by the official [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the toy in packaging) features the same layout for the cardboard name insert as its [[wave]]mate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Optimus Prime]] & [[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]], while the other version has various texts and logos rearranged and relocated, and is lacking both the difficulty level and the [[Hasbro]] company logo.<ref name="genvar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-legends-bumblebee-with-blazemaster-packaging-variant-177748/ Comparison] between both variants of ''Generations'' Bumblebee & Blaze Master's packaging</ref>

He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

:For some reason, Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] provided to retailers which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], including a photo of the toy in [[packaging]], feature a Bumblebee that lacks the [[paint operation|painted]] stripes on the [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] car hood on his robot mode chest. The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.

:This mold was retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] and [[Goshooter#Generations|Goshooter]] as well as ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Carzap (BT)#Timelines|Carzap]].

The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

**''Accessories'': Blaster, rear-view mirrors, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] (Exosuit), spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper's]] arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

[[File:Bumble Bee Masterpiece.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I've been all around the world, seen all the sights; but this is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.]]
*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21G'''

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

: This toy was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-45'''
**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper's]] toy head.

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

:Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word Autobot.

This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a [[jet pack]] that mounts onto his back.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Henkei!

:In ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers:]] [[Reveal the Shield]]'', [[#Goldbug|Goldbug]] was [[renaming|renamed]] Gold Bumblebee for this redeco of [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Legends Class Bumblebee]]. As part of the "Reveal the Shield" promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].

:The [[prototype|sample]] used for Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] sported unpainted gold legs, but the final toy has the legs painted over in blue. So far, no gold-legged specimens have been found in the wild. Conversely, the vehicle mode stock photo on the back of his packaging implies that the ''entire'' leg pieces (or at least his ankle joints) have been painted blue, as there are two very obvious blue patches on his hood.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:This mold was also used to make [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Toys|''War For Cybertron'' Cliffjumper]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]].

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

**''Accessories'': 2 stinger blasters

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, this ''Thrilling 30'' Bumblebee is a new mold with a robot mode based on the character's body from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|''The Transformers'' vol. 1]] ongoing series; more specifically, it is the version used by [[Guido Guidi]] in [[Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|issue #21]]. He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

:For some reason, Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] provided to retailers which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], including a photo of the toy in [[packaging]], feature a Bumblebee that lacks the [[paint operation|painted]] stripes on the [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] car hood on his robot mode chest. The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.

:This mold was retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] and [[Goshooter#Generations|Goshooter]] as well as ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Carzap (BT)#Timelines|Carzap]].

====Cyber Series====
[[File:Generations-Cyber-Battalion-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)
:Part of the new ''Generations'' Cyber Battalion series, Bumblebee is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a sports car, which is probably a combination between ''Generations'' Legends Class' Bumblebee's and ''Prime'' Bumblebee's alt mode, into a robot in just 5 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

[[File:Generations-Cyber-Commander-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Commander, 2015)
:Released in the first wave of Cyber Commander figures, Bumblebee is a new mold figure and changes from muscle car to robot in a few easy steps. His transformation scheme is largely based on that of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Robots in Disguise Legion Bumblebee]]. His arms feature a decent range of articulation as well as 5mm-compatible hands. His robot mode stands taller than most modern Leader class figures.

*''' Bumblebee & Exosuit Spike Witwicky''' (2016)
**''ID Number'': '''MP-08'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, rear-view mirrors, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] (Exosuit), spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

:''[[Alt-Modes]]'' Bumblebee is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a car when the Autobot faction symbol on his head is flipped. He was [[Blindpacking|blind-boxed]] and available in two cases of the first collection and the only case of the second collection.

[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Legends-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't expect him to shelfwarm like his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|''Movie-verse'' counterpart]] anytime soon.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a new Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

====War for Cybertron Trilogy====
[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-Trilogy-Deluxe-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wait I'm a retool of Cliffjumper now? This must be Shattered Glass or something...]]
*'''Autobot Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slighly darker gunmetal color, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a swivel, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can't easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. However, as 5 mm port holes are absent in his vehicle parts, the ski configuration is the only weapon storage option for the car mode. His G1-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product.

:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.

:The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

* '''Bumblebee''' (Triple-Changer, 2013)
**''Pieces: '''69'''
: Part of Wave 1 of Construct-Bots Triple-Changers, Bumblebee can transform into a sports car-like thing or a jet-like thing. He is heavily armed with two large shoulder-mounted launchers, a third launcher hidden in his jet mode nosecone as well as two large swords.

:Many of his parts were used to make himself again (see below) as well as [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Construct-bots|Cliffjumper]].

**''Pieces: '''45'''
: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car. He uses largely the same part scheme as Triple Changer Bumblebee, except his head is remolded to have his battle mask up, and uses Ironhide's shoulders. He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original's orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.

**'''22 OF 30'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2014]]-[[August 3|08-03]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

===Hero Mashers===
[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper's]] arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

* '''Bumblebee & Strafe Team Pack''' (Team Pack, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

===Transformers (2014)===
[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|(Black insignia version pictured)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

*'''Bumble''' (2014-[[December 11|12-11]])

:Produced as a collaboration between toylines ''[[Diablock|Nanoblock]]'' and ''[[Choro-Q]]'', this Bumblebee is a building block toy providing pieces to build both Bumblebee's super deformed robot mode and, separately, his car mode (or something else, given it's blocks and all). His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and the many deco alterations. The only "major" difference is the ''Vintage G1'' version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He's the only Minibot in ''Vintage G1'' to not have a [[rubsign]].

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

Kre-O

2020-11-06T13:23:02Z

Bloxbox: /* Notes */

{{Nav-kreo}}
[[File:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|Car me now!]]
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule!]]''

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) center around a ''Transformers'' character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of ''Transformers'' characters and human drivers (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.

The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.

In [[2013]], [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to [[Japan]], primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.

Currently, the line is in a sort-of limbo in ''most'' of Hasbro's markets. The [[2015]] series mostly shipped only to [[Canada]] and Asian markets, with US releases relegated to closeout stores, and several items not being released at all. As of [[2016]], most "new" ''Kre-O'' product in the US was made up of mostly re-released and repackaged kits sold through discount chains like Dollar General, and some all-new kits based on the [[DreamWorks]] ''Trolls'' movie. In [[China]], the line continues under the ''Armor Hero Captor'' brand, a live-action ''tokusatsu'' TV series similar to the ''Kamen Rider'' series.

It's not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L. L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

==Building sets==
===2011===
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. The large builds mashed up aspects of designs from the [[live-action film series]] and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], with the accompanying [[Kreon]]s (most sets included at least one; the same character as the large build) sticking to a strictly G1-inspired aesthetic. Most of the helmet designs used for Kreons in later years originated here, being uniquely tooled for each character (or shared between those who have traditionally [[redeco|shared molds]]). Regrettably, the Kreons came with a fair number of tolerance issues.

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.

There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. In contrast to the strong G1 focus of the first year, robot Kreons were more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations, with Knock Out receiving a new helmet piece all of his own. New helmets were also produced for Ironhide and Wheeljack; collectively, the parts created in the first two years would be reused for the vast majority of Kreons produced down the line. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons, and came with their own headgear.

In the US, this series saw a step down in terms of distribution, setting the tone for years to come. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.

Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'', the focus of this years' sets were buildable beasts. Every kit came with one, though one set had a ''huge'' buildable beast with an alternate robot build. None of the other beasts have official robot builds, but hey, try making your own! Interestingly, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.

This series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer, though some sets eventually filtered out into discount stores.

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], the 2014 ''Kre-O'' line-up features dinosaurs aplenty. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets. Each set also comes with a red 2x4 Kre-O brick.

Notably, this line also marks the complete abandonment of the 'rebuild to transform' [[play pattern]], in favor of the playset approach more typical of construction brick toys. As part of this change, human Kreons now use the small body style that debuted in the ''Kre-O {{w|CityVille}} Invasion'' line, to indicate a [[scale]] difference between them and the normal-sized Transformer Kreons.

By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became officially a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.

===2015 (''Robots In Disguise''/Generation 1)===
2015's ''Kro-O'' product was largely split between sets based on the new [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'' series]], and Kreon-focused Generation 1-based product. Unfortunately, this is also the year that ''Kre-O'' all but vanished from US store shelves, relegated to Canada and Hasbro Asia markets. Even ToysЯUs dropped the line, and it wasn't until the latter half of the year when various sets began to filter into the US through discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, though some older sets got a second life through "dollar" stores (see below).

This was accompanied by a change in Kreon construction, including new hands designed with a raised "upper" part so they can act as pegs (aka "just like mini-figures from that L-company"), and a new inner post in the torso that slides into the waistpiece's now-hollow spine-post, allowing for a sturdier grip, needed for the much larger Kreon builds of most of the Generation-1-based sets. The 2x4 logo blocks were also dropped, replaced by a 3x4 flat plate with an unpainted Kre-O logo, but included only in the blindbagged toys.

;''Robots in Disguise''
:This series is based heavily on "vehicle" play, with non-transforming rigs loosely based on their pilots' alternate modes, though each one does have some sort of "action feature".

;Battle Changers
:After four years, the line ''finally'' releases buildable Transformers figures that transform "traditionally" rather than needing to be taken apart and rebuilt. How successful they are at this... varies. The figures are mostly based on their "Generation 1" forms, with some concessions to more modern media.

;Kreon Warriors{{anchor|KreonWarriors}}
:Replacing Micro-Changers (see below) as the ''Kre-O'' line's blind-bagged assortment, Kreon Warriors features popular characters reimagined as historical warriors. Unlike their predecessors, the Kreon Warriors do not have vehicle modes. Their G1-y-ness is variable, with some versions owing a bit more to their ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' or [[live-action film series]] iterations in the facial feature department.

:This series has no identifying markings on their bags to tell buyers exactly what's inside. On top of that, these never saw release in the US, coming out in Canada and various Asian markets.

;Kreon Mini-Con Combiners
:One of the more bizarre items in the line, these sets come with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville'' mini Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

:Unfortunately, like the Battle Changer Triple Changers, these items apparently never saw release anywhere. Pity.

===2015~2017 ("Budget store" releases)===
Starting in mid-2015, numerous ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets were repackaged (sometimes combining multiple smaller sets) in a new red-box style, sold only at Dollar General stores in the US, for considerably lower than the original sets went for. Curiously, the packaging and instructions omit any reference to the large robot builds... yet the extra parts for the robot builds are still in the box, and the "robot only" parts are still in the parts checklist in the back. ''Why'' they did this is a mystery. These sets continued to come out in following years, and were joined by choice repackagings of ''Cityville Invasion'', ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and eventually ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' sets, shipped all together (but we won't list those because of The Reason).

Meanwhile, five '''Brick Box''' sets saw wider release at Dollar General, Family Dollar, Big Lots and Ollies stores. These $5 cubes come with two bags of bricks and at least one Kreon. The first two sets released are simple repackagings of prior smaller kits. While these releases come with all of the Kreons and parts of the original releases, there are no instructions, apparently an attempt to pass the set off as a "build what you want" deal. Three more sets were released later, only with a single all-new 2015-style Kreon and two bags of parts per box. The larger bags of parts all come from previous older sets. The second bag in each is a seemingly random collection of parts in the same color palette as the other bag. And no instructions. Weird!

In addition to all this, Collections 1 through 3 of the blind-bagged [[Micro-Changer]]s were re-released, at first primarily through Dollar General, but by 2017 expanding into Walgreens as well. These are ''new'' versions of the toys, re-made with 2015-style Kreon bodies, altered tampographs, some plastic color changes, a handful of parts changes... and no individual-identifying codes on the bags, so hope you're good at the "feel through the bag" method. (See below for links to the individual Micro-Changers in those assortments.) Bizarrely, in addition to keeping the flak jackets for the collection 1 re-release, the pack previews show the new tampographs *on* the flack jackets, a change that apparently did not make it through to production.
{{-}}

==Micro-Changers==
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).

{{note|For more extensive information on this series, see '''[[Micro-Changer]]'''.}}

===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. During the initial run, code numbers printed on each bag allowed you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident. For all Collections, only the last two numbers are important for identification, so those are the only ones we're showing. The final assortment and the re-releases of prior sets lack ID numbers, so good luck feeling out parts through the bag!

Collections 1 through 3 have been re-made with the 2015-style Kreon bodies and re-released through Dollar General and Walgreens stores in the US.

===Micro-Changers Combiners===
Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block, and extra limb pieces. Just in case. As most of the original teams these sets are based on have five or six members, the "lost" members saw release through the blind-bagged series.

==Custom Kreons==
First released at the back-end of 2013, the individually-carded [[Custom Kreon]]s include a number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] or translucent. They also come with a customizable "rack" to store their unused parts. Returning characters typically have altered and more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their opaque parts.

==Notes==
*Kre-O bricks were manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford],<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref> who had been making not-L sets for a while, up through 2014. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction. The 2015 ''Kre-O'' product seems to have been produced by Hasbro proper, which would explain a lot of the changes to the product for that year, including the almost completely altered Kreons.
*Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.
*Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
*While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a L Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.
*The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.
*Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule!'' interlocking brick system. Most Kre-O bricks, that is parts not designed specifically for Kreons, with detailed moulded surfaces (especially where the L counterpart has a smooth surface) are Built to Rule! parts.
*Roblox (a Lego kind of game) had a Kre-O Transformers Age Of Extinction (2014) event. By winning in the Autobot team, you would get an Kre-O Optimus prime hat. By winning in the Decepticon team, you would get a Kre-O Lockdown head. But if you lose in both teams, you would get a Kre-O bumblebee head.

Kre-O

2020-11-06T13:22:18Z

Bloxbox: /* Notes */

{{Nav-kreo}}
[[File:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|Car me now!]]
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule!]]''

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) center around a ''Transformers'' character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of ''Transformers'' characters and human drivers (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.

The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.

In [[2013]], [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to [[Japan]], primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.

Currently, the line is in a sort-of limbo in ''most'' of Hasbro's markets. The [[2015]] series mostly shipped only to [[Canada]] and Asian markets, with US releases relegated to closeout stores, and several items not being released at all. As of [[2016]], most "new" ''Kre-O'' product in the US was made up of mostly re-released and repackaged kits sold through discount chains like Dollar General, and some all-new kits based on the [[DreamWorks]] ''Trolls'' movie. In [[China]], the line continues under the ''Armor Hero Captor'' brand, a live-action ''tokusatsu'' TV series similar to the ''Kamen Rider'' series.

It's not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L. L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

==Building sets==
===2011===
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. The large builds mashed up aspects of designs from the [[live-action film series]] and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], with the accompanying [[Kreon]]s (most sets included at least one; the same character as the large build) sticking to a strictly G1-inspired aesthetic. Most of the helmet designs used for Kreons in later years originated here, being uniquely tooled for each character (or shared between those who have traditionally [[redeco|shared molds]]). Regrettably, the Kreons came with a fair number of tolerance issues.

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.

There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. In contrast to the strong G1 focus of the first year, robot Kreons were more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations, with Knock Out receiving a new helmet piece all of his own. New helmets were also produced for Ironhide and Wheeljack; collectively, the parts created in the first two years would be reused for the vast majority of Kreons produced down the line. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons, and came with their own headgear.

In the US, this series saw a step down in terms of distribution, setting the tone for years to come. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.

Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'', the focus of this years' sets were buildable beasts. Every kit came with one, though one set had a ''huge'' buildable beast with an alternate robot build. None of the other beasts have official robot builds, but hey, try making your own! Interestingly, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.

This series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer, though some sets eventually filtered out into discount stores.

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], the 2014 ''Kre-O'' line-up features dinosaurs aplenty. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets. Each set also comes with a red 2x4 Kre-O brick.

Notably, this line also marks the complete abandonment of the 'rebuild to transform' [[play pattern]], in favor of the playset approach more typical of construction brick toys. As part of this change, human Kreons now use the small body style that debuted in the ''Kre-O {{w|CityVille}} Invasion'' line, to indicate a [[scale]] difference between them and the normal-sized Transformer Kreons.

By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became officially a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.

===2015 (''Robots In Disguise''/Generation 1)===
2015's ''Kro-O'' product was largely split between sets based on the new [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'' series]], and Kreon-focused Generation 1-based product. Unfortunately, this is also the year that ''Kre-O'' all but vanished from US store shelves, relegated to Canada and Hasbro Asia markets. Even ToysЯUs dropped the line, and it wasn't until the latter half of the year when various sets began to filter into the US through discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, though some older sets got a second life through "dollar" stores (see below).

This was accompanied by a change in Kreon construction, including new hands designed with a raised "upper" part so they can act as pegs (aka "just like mini-figures from that L-company"), and a new inner post in the torso that slides into the waistpiece's now-hollow spine-post, allowing for a sturdier grip, needed for the much larger Kreon builds of most of the Generation-1-based sets. The 2x4 logo blocks were also dropped, replaced by a 3x4 flat plate with an unpainted Kre-O logo, but included only in the blindbagged toys.

{{-}}
;''Robots in Disguise''
:This series is based heavily on "vehicle" play, with non-transforming rigs loosely based on their pilots' alternate modes, though each one does have some sort of "action feature".

;Battle Changers
:After four years, the line ''finally'' releases buildable Transformers figures that transform "traditionally" rather than needing to be taken apart and rebuilt. How successful they are at this... varies. The figures are mostly based on their "Generation 1" forms, with some concessions to more modern media.

;Kreon Warriors{{anchor|KreonWarriors}}
:Replacing Micro-Changers (see below) as the ''Kre-O'' line's blind-bagged assortment, Kreon Warriors features popular characters reimagined as historical warriors. Unlike their predecessors, the Kreon Warriors do not have vehicle modes. Their G1-y-ness is variable, with some versions owing a bit more to their ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' or [[live-action film series]] iterations in the facial feature department.

:This series has no identifying markings on their bags to tell buyers exactly what's inside. On top of that, these never saw release in the US, coming out in Canada and various Asian markets.

;Kreon Mini-Con Combiners
:One of the more bizarre items in the line, these sets come with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville'' mini Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

:Unfortunately, like the Battle Changer Triple Changers, these items apparently never saw release anywhere. Pity.

===2015~2017 ("Budget store" releases)===
Starting in mid-2015, numerous ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets were repackaged (sometimes combining multiple smaller sets) in a new red-box style, sold only at Dollar General stores in the US, for considerably lower than the original sets went for. Curiously, the packaging and instructions omit any reference to the large robot builds... yet the extra parts for the robot builds are still in the box, and the "robot only" parts are still in the parts checklist in the back. ''Why'' they did this is a mystery. These sets continued to come out in following years, and were joined by choice repackagings of ''Cityville Invasion'', ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and eventually ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' sets, shipped all together (but we won't list those because of The Reason).

Meanwhile, five '''Brick Box''' sets saw wider release at Dollar General, Family Dollar, Big Lots and Ollies stores. These $5 cubes come with two bags of bricks and at least one Kreon. The first two sets released are simple repackagings of prior smaller kits. While these releases come with all of the Kreons and parts of the original releases, there are no instructions, apparently an attempt to pass the set off as a "build what you want" deal. Three more sets were released later, only with a single all-new 2015-style Kreon and two bags of parts per box. The larger bags of parts all come from previous older sets. The second bag in each is a seemingly random collection of parts in the same color palette as the other bag. And no instructions. Weird!

In addition to all this, Collections 1 through 3 of the blind-bagged [[Micro-Changer]]s were re-released, at first primarily through Dollar General, but by 2017 expanding into Walgreens as well. These are ''new'' versions of the toys, re-made with 2015-style Kreon bodies, altered tampographs, some plastic color changes, a handful of parts changes... and no individual-identifying codes on the bags, so hope you're good at the "feel through the bag" method. (See below for links to the individual Micro-Changers in those assortments.) Bizarrely, in addition to keeping the flak jackets for the collection 1 re-release, the pack previews show the new tampographs *on* the flack jackets, a change that apparently did not make it through to production.
{{-}}

==Micro-Changers==
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).

{{note|For more extensive information on this series, see '''[[Micro-Changer]]'''.}}

===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. During the initial run, code numbers printed on each bag allowed you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident. For all Collections, only the last two numbers are important for identification, so those are the only ones we're showing. The final assortment and the re-releases of prior sets lack ID numbers, so good luck feeling out parts through the bag!

Collections 1 through 3 have been re-made with the 2015-style Kreon bodies and re-released through Dollar General and Walgreens stores in the US.

===Micro-Changers Combiners===
Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block, and extra limb pieces. Just in case. As most of the original teams these sets are based on have five or six members, the "lost" members saw release through the blind-bagged series.

==Custom Kreons==
First released at the back-end of 2013, the individually-carded [[Custom Kreon]]s include a number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] or translucent. They also come with a customizable "rack" to store their unused parts. Returning characters typically have altered and more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their opaque parts.

==Notes==
*Kre-O bricks were manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford],<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref> who had been making not-L sets for a while, up through 2014. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction. The 2015 ''Kre-O'' product seems to have been produced by Hasbro proper, which would explain a lot of the changes to the product for that year, including the almost completely altered Kreons.
*Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.
*Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
*While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a L Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.
*The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.
*Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule!'' interlocking brick system. Most Kre-O bricks, that is parts not designed specifically for Kreons, with detailed moulded surfaces (especially where the L counterpart has a smooth surface) are Built to Rule! parts.
*Roblox (a Lego kind of game) had a Kre-O Transformers Age Of Extinction (2014) event. By winning in the Autobot team, you would get an Kre-O Optimus prime hat. By winning in the Decepticon team, you would get a Kre-O Lockdown head. But if you lose in both teams, you will get a Kre-O bumblebee head.

Kre-O

2020-11-06T13:21:01Z

Bloxbox: /* Notes */

{{Nav-kreo}}
[[File:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|Car me now!]]
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule!]]''

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) center around a ''Transformers'' character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of ''Transformers'' characters and human drivers (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.

The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.

In [[2013]], [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to [[Japan]], primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.

Currently, the line is in a sort-of limbo in ''most'' of Hasbro's markets. The [[2015]] series mostly shipped only to [[Canada]] and Asian markets, with US releases relegated to closeout stores, and several items not being released at all. As of [[2016]], most "new" ''Kre-O'' product in the US was made up of mostly re-released and repackaged kits sold through discount chains like Dollar General, and some all-new kits based on the [[DreamWorks]] ''Trolls'' movie. In [[China]], the line continues under the ''Armor Hero Captor'' brand, a live-action ''tokusatsu'' TV series similar to the ''Kamen Rider'' series.

It's not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L. L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

==Building sets==
===2011===
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. The large builds mashed up aspects of designs from the [[live-action film series]] and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], with the accompanying [[Kreon]]s (most sets included at least one; the same character as the large build) sticking to a strictly G1-inspired aesthetic. Most of the helmet designs used for Kreons in later years originated here, being uniquely tooled for each character (or shared between those who have traditionally [[redeco|shared molds]]). Regrettably, the Kreons came with a fair number of tolerance issues.

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.

There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. In contrast to the strong G1 focus of the first year, robot Kreons were more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations, with Knock Out receiving a new helmet piece all of his own. New helmets were also produced for Ironhide and Wheeljack; collectively, the parts created in the first two years would be reused for the vast majority of Kreons produced down the line. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons, and came with their own headgear.

In the US, this series saw a step down in terms of distribution, setting the tone for years to come. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.

Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'', the focus of this years' sets were buildable beasts. Every kit came with one, though one set had a ''huge'' buildable beast with an alternate robot build. None of the other beasts have official robot builds, but hey, try making your own! Interestingly, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.

This series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer, though some sets eventually filtered out into discount stores.

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], the 2014 ''Kre-O'' line-up features dinosaurs aplenty. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets. Each set also comes with a red 2x4 Kre-O brick.

Notably, this line also marks the complete abandonment of the 'rebuild to transform' [[play pattern]], in favor of the playset approach more typical of construction brick toys. As part of this change, human Kreons now use the small body style that debuted in the ''Kre-O {{w|CityVille}} Invasion'' line, to indicate a [[scale]] difference between them and the normal-sized Transformer Kreons.

By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became officially a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.

===2015 (''Robots In Disguise''/Generation 1)===
2015's ''Kro-O'' product was largely split between sets based on the new [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'' series]], and Kreon-focused Generation 1-based product. Unfortunately, this is also the year that ''Kre-O'' all but vanished from US store shelves, relegated to Canada and Hasbro Asia markets. Even ToysЯUs dropped the line, and it wasn't until the latter half of the year when various sets began to filter into the US through discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, though some older sets got a second life through "dollar" stores (see below).

This was accompanied by a change in Kreon construction, including new hands designed with a raised "upper" part so they can act as pegs (aka "just like mini-figures from that L-company"), and a new inner post in the torso that slides into the waistpiece's now-hollow spine-post, allowing for a sturdier grip, needed for the much larger Kreon builds of most of the Generation-1-based sets. The 2x4 logo blocks were also dropped, replaced by a 3x4 flat plate with an unpainted Kre-O logo, but included only in the blindbagged toys.

;''Robots in Disguise''
:This series is based heavily on "vehicle" play, with non-transforming rigs loosely based on their pilots' alternate modes, though each one does have some sort of "action feature".

:After four years, the line ''finally'' releases buildable Transformers figures that transform "traditionally" rather than needing to be taken apart and rebuilt. How successful they are at this... varies. The figures are mostly based on their "Generation 1" forms, with some concessions to more modern media.

;Kreon Warriors{{anchor|KreonWarriors}}
:Replacing Micro-Changers (see below) as the ''Kre-O'' line's blind-bagged assortment, Kreon Warriors features popular characters reimagined as historical warriors. Unlike their predecessors, the Kreon Warriors do not have vehicle modes. Their G1-y-ness is variable, with some versions owing a bit more to their ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' or [[live-action film series]] iterations in the facial feature department.

:This series has no identifying markings on their bags to tell buyers exactly what's inside. On top of that, these never saw release in the US, coming out in Canada and various Asian markets.

;Kreon Mini-Con Combiners
:One of the more bizarre items in the line, these sets come with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville'' mini Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

:Unfortunately, like the Battle Changer Triple Changers, these items apparently never saw release anywhere. Pity.

===2015~2017 ("Budget store" releases)===
Starting in mid-2015, numerous ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets were repackaged (sometimes combining multiple smaller sets) in a new red-box style, sold only at Dollar General stores in the US, for considerably lower than the original sets went for. Curiously, the packaging and instructions omit any reference to the large robot builds... yet the extra parts for the robot builds are still in the box, and the "robot only" parts are still in the parts checklist in the back. ''Why'' they did this is a mystery. These sets continued to come out in following years, and were joined by choice repackagings of ''Cityville Invasion'', ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and eventually ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' sets, shipped all together (but we won't list those because of The Reason).

Meanwhile, five '''Brick Box''' sets saw wider release at Dollar General, Family Dollar, Big Lots and Ollies stores. These $5 cubes come with two bags of bricks and at least one Kreon. The first two sets released are simple repackagings of prior smaller kits. While these releases come with all of the Kreons and parts of the original releases, there are no instructions, apparently an attempt to pass the set off as a "build what you want" deal. Three more sets were released later, only with a single all-new 2015-style Kreon and two bags of parts per box. The larger bags of parts all come from previous older sets. The second bag in each is a seemingly random collection of parts in the same color palette as the other bag. And no instructions. Weird!

In addition to all this, Collections 1 through 3 of the blind-bagged [[Micro-Changer]]s were re-released, at first primarily through Dollar General, but by 2017 expanding into Walgreens as well. These are ''new'' versions of the toys, re-made with 2015-style Kreon bodies, altered tampographs, some plastic color changes, a handful of parts changes... and no individual-identifying codes on the bags, so hope you're good at the "feel through the bag" method. (See below for links to the individual Micro-Changers in those assortments.) Bizarrely, in addition to keeping the flak jackets for the collection 1 re-release, the pack previews show the new tampographs *on* the flack jackets, a change that apparently did not make it through to production.
{{-}}

==Micro-Changers==
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).

{{note|For more extensive information on this series, see '''[[Micro-Changer]]'''.}}

===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. During the initial run, code numbers printed on each bag allowed you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident. For all Collections, only the last two numbers are important for identification, so those are the only ones we're showing. The final assortment and the re-releases of prior sets lack ID numbers, so good luck feeling out parts through the bag!

Collections 1 through 3 have been re-made with the 2015-style Kreon bodies and re-released through Dollar General and Walgreens stores in the US.

===Micro-Changers Combiners===
Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block, and extra limb pieces. Just in case. As most of the original teams these sets are based on have five or six members, the "lost" members saw release through the blind-bagged series.

==Custom Kreons==
First released at the back-end of 2013, the individually-carded [[Custom Kreon]]s include a number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] or translucent. They also come with a customizable "rack" to store their unused parts. Returning characters typically have altered and more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their opaque parts.

===Online comics===
{{main|Kre-O Transformers (comic)}}
Short tongue-in-cheek gag strips drawn and written by [[Hayato Sakamoto]] and [[Makoto Wakabayashi]] for [[TakaraTomy]]'s Kre-O site.

==Notes==
*Kre-O bricks were manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford],<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref> who had been making not-L sets for a while, up through 2014. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction. The 2015 ''Kre-O'' product seems to have been produced by Hasbro proper, which would explain a lot of the changes to the product for that year, including the almost completely altered Kreons.
*Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.
*Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
*While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a L Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.
*The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.
*Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule!'' interlocking brick system. Most Kre-O bricks, that is parts not designed specifically for Kreons, with detailed moulded surfaces (especially where the L counterpart has a smooth surface) are Built to Rule! parts.
*Roblox (a Lego kind of game) had an event for Transformers Age Of Extinction (2014). By winning in the Autobot team, you would get an Optimus prime hat. By winning in the Decepticon team, you would get a Lockdown head. But if you lose in both teams, you will get a bumblebee head.
