*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Takara 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]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in five decoes: 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 (similar to that of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]). 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 photography 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)
**''Takara 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 figurine. 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.

[[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.

*'''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)

: A keychain version of Bumblebee was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots ([[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Keychain|Cliffjumper]], Bumblebee, [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

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

*'''SonicBlue Bumble & Exo Suit Chama'''{{sic}} (2019)

:Released as part of the collaboration between the ''Transformers'' franchise, the [[Bump of Chicken]] rock group, and [[Studio Trigger]]'s [[Sushio]], this Bumblebee is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' release of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Bumblebee mold]] (see below), complete with translucent windows. He transforms into a sports coupe of made-up model, which features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any [[Titan Master]]/[[Prime Master]] figure to ride inside him; in this case, the included Headmaster of Bump of Chicken's bassist [[Chama#Toys|Chama]].

: Also included is a [[pack-in material|pack-in]] mini-comic, "[[Transformers × Bump of Chicken EX Episode]]", written by Chama himself and illustrated by [[Akira Amemiya]].

: 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. Due to demand, a second run of the toy was made available on [[November 11]], 2019, with the second run shipping in March 2020.

*'''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]].

: 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]].

:"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]].

: 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.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: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 car closely resembles a Peugeot 206 WRC, however some people see strong cues from other vehicles, such as the general shape of the car being 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 [[Volkswagen]] {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle|New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar to 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.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the "''Classic'' Bumblebee" {{sic}} 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.

**''ID number:'' '''C-02'''
**''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]].

: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.

*'''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 twist it on a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into a whole ''swarm'' of Bumblebees, as well as a couple of Cliffjumpers. See the box below for more information.

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.

:Part of the first wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 2 launchers, this version of Bumblebee is a Jump Shot, and an impact to the front of his vehicle mode causes him to spring up and autotransform into a robot armed with a pistol. He comes with a launcher used to propel him to great speeds, as well as three targets for him to knock over. The targets feature an assortment of pegs and peg-holes, allowing them to peg into each other to form various structures, although since you only get three of them, there's not a lot to make out of them.

:This version of the Bumblebee mold was retooled into [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Bot Shots|Super Bot Cliffjumper]].

:Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Bumblebee is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. 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)/Generations 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]].

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.

: 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 almost 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.

* '''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.

**''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.

: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 (or 2016?), 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 (in the later packaging variant lacking the "Reveal the Shield" call-out) 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. For unknown reasons, most of them were mistransformed in packaging.

**''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".

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 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 have a couple of 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 they show the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick have 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.

**''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 Bumblebee 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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, [[2016]])

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a 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 the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:Released in conjunction with Japanese cellphone maker au,<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/product_release/pdf/p170201.pdf TakaraTomy au x Transformers Project press release]</ref> ''au x Transformers'' INFOBAR Bumblebee is a retool of the same line's [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Optimus Prime]], with a new head and decoed in black and yellow.

: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. He features articulated hands for grasping the included tiny flip-phone accessory (which can flip open) that is stored in the bottom of the cell phone mode. 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 16,200 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 largely-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the "newly"-tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and also sharing many of the deco alterations.

:There are a number of small differences between the ''Encore'' and ''Vintage G1'' versions, though:
:#The screw in the center of Bumblebee's back; now replaced with a pin, much like the original toy. This is also likely down to [[Hasbro]]'s current stance on using pins in place of screws as much as possible.
:#He has extra production information tampographed on the sole of his right foot—something that has become fairly common on ''Transformers'' products that wasn't around during his last reissue.
:#The original sticker detail on the back of his head has also returned, whereas the ''Encore'' version had a [[rubsign]] placed there instead. This also happens to be the only ''Vintage G1'' Minibot 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]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[January 20]], [[2021]]
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, concurrent with the ''Earthrise'' toyline and season of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|the Netflix cartoon]], 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. Almost ''all'' of Bumblebee's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic, which avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode. On both of his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of soft rubbery plastic. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bumblebee's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. 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. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation. The housing has also been updated for seemingly no reason, with a taller "collar" section compared to Cliffjumper and Hubcap.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Like the rest of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-branded]] subset of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: Bumblebee is one of two puzzling Netflix-branded figures that have become extra rare and valuable for a mutual set of confusing reasons; the other is [[Soundwave_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron_Trilogy|Soundwave]]. Most Netflix figures try to depict characters as they appeared on the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, favoring Cybertronian alt modes and extra battle damage, but that was not the goal for Bumblebee and Soundwave. Instead, with clean paint jobs and never-seen-on-Netflix Earth alt modes, they might be the most G1-faithful available versions of their characters in the [[Transformers:_Generations_(toyline)|Generations toyline]] era.

:If you actually want a toy that resembles Bumblebee from Netflix TV, then you might be looking for one of the [[Bumblebee_(G1)/toys#Buzzworthy_Bumblebee|Buzzworthy Bumblebees]].

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

*'''Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky''' (Core Class, [[2021]])
**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via a 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside, doubling as an exhaust pipe of sorts. Unlike most of the figures on this page, this Bumblebee features a matte finish on his vehicle tires ''and'' his gun.

:As seen in the rear packaging's stock render, Bumblebee's "wing" kibble/back fenders can be folded back for a cleaner robot appearance. As a result of sharing similarities to the original toy's transformation scheme, Bumblebee's arms sit slightly lower in robot mode.

:Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

:If one is crazy for show-accuracy, one of the blasters from [[Ratchet_(G1)/toys#Studio_Series|''Studio Series'' Core Class Ratchet]] can be used on this figure.

:Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

:''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''{{'}}s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" that Bumblebee cannot actually hold, and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]".

:The set was found in a Walmart in the U.S.<ref>''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Worlds Collide found at Walmart by [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/buzzworthy-worlds-collide-set-found-at-walmart-but-not-in-system-more-pics/46101/ Seibertron.com]</ref> prior to an official reveal from Hasbro, possibly due to a shipment error. As with other ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, it is exclusive to [[Target]] in the U.S.

**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield
:Part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, "Autobot Goldbug" is a chimera of molds, matching the vehicle mode parts from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] with the headsculpt from ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]]; it also makes use of the interior chest parts from the original ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], as the "popped collar" of the Bumblebee version of the toy would cause clearance issues with the shape of the Goldbug head. All this results in a robot loosely accurate to Goldbug's original character model that transforms into a licensed, goldy-caramel-coloured [[Volkswagen]] Beetle. He retains the same accessories and functionality as his prior ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' release.

:Alongside Goldbug, the set also includes [[Scorponok (BW)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Predacon Scorponok]], [[Ransack (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ransack]], and [[Skywasp#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Skywasp]]. The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line was exclusive to Target in the U.S., though this set was stocked by In Demand Toys in the UK before any official announcement by Hasbro.

The vehicle mode resembles the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar2018|2018 redeco]] of the same figure, with two stripes on the hood instead of just one, but also features a new Autobot insignia at the center of the hood.

The eleventh figure released in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, "A.W.E Striker Bumblebee" is a 9-inch figure that transforms into the [[A.W.E. Striker]] vehicle used by the Joes (which in itself resembles a 1982 M1040 Chenowth "Hellfire" Fast Attack Vehicle, aka [[Beachcomber (G1)#Toys|Beachcomber]]'s altmode), serving as accounterpart to the [[Megatron_(G1)/Generations_toys#Collaborative|H.I.S.S Tank Megatron]] released beforehand. He includes a blaster that can be attached to the top of the alt mode as well as over Bumblebee's head.

The set also includes a reproduction of the vintage [[Stalker_(G.I._Joe)|Sgt. Stalker]] figure that can ride in the Striker or operate the aforementioned blaster in Bumblebee's robot mode. This figure comes packaged on a ''G.I. Joe Retro Collection'' style card included in the set.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Takara 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|IGA}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in five decoes: 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 (similar to that of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]). 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 photography 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)
**''Takara 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 figurine. 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, 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.

[[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)

: A keychain version of Bumblebee was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots ([[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Keychain|Cliffjumper]], Bumblebee, [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

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

He transforms into a sports coupe of made-up model, which features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any [[Titan Master]]/[[Prime Master]] figure to ride inside him; in this case, the included Headmaster of Bump of Chicken's bassist [[Chama#Toys|Chama]].

: Also included is a [[pack-in material|pack-in]] mini-comic, "[[Transformers × Bump of Chicken EX Episode]]", written by Chama himself and illustrated by [[Akira Amemiya]].

: 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. Due to demand, a second run of the toy was made available on [[November 11]], 2019, with the second run shipping in March 2020.

: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.

: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]].

[[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.

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 car closely resembles a Peugeot 206 WRC, however some people see strong cues from other vehicles, such as the general shape of the car being 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 [[Volkswagen]] {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle|New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar to 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 "''Classic'' Bumblebee" {{sic}} 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 twist it on a slightly warped ball joint.

:This mold was redecoed into a whole ''swarm'' of Bumblebees, as well as a couple of Cliffjumpers. See the box below for more information.

: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.

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).

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'' Series 1 single-packs, Bumblebee is a teeny little sports car ''vaguely'' like a Camaro, with a [[Autotransformation|spring-loaded automatic transformation]] to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. He is heavily based on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|live-action movie Bumblebee]], with his head based on the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' version of [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Bumblebee (G1)#Classics|Bumblebee]].

: Bumblebee's main car body, arms, and legs are also used by many ''many'' other car Bot Shots, such as [[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Barricade]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys|Mirage]], [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Autobot Topspin]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Autobot Jazz]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go!

:Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Bumblebee is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. 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)/Generations 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.

**''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.

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 (or 2016?), 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 (in the later packaging variant lacking the "Reveal the Shield" call-out) 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. For unknown reasons, most of them were mistransformed in packaging.

[[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]])
**''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 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 have a couple of 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 they show the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick have 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.

**''Hasbro release name:'' '''Bumblebee and Spike 2.0'''
**''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 Bumblebee 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.

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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, [[2016]])

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a 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 the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

: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. He features articulated hands for grasping the included tiny flip-phone accessory (which can flip open) that is stored in the bottom of the cell phone mode. 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 16,200 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 largely-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the "newly"-tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and also sharing many of the deco alterations.

:There are a number of small differences between the ''Encore'' and ''Vintage G1'' versions, though:
:#The screw in the center of Bumblebee's back; now replaced with a pin, much like the original toy. This is also likely down to [[Hasbro]]'s current stance on using pins in place of screws as much as possible.
:#He has extra production information tampographed on the sole of his right foot—something that has become fairly common on ''Transformers'' products that wasn't around during his last reissue.
:#The original sticker detail on the back of his head has also returned, whereas the ''Encore'' version had a [[rubsign]] placed there instead. This also happens to be the only ''Vintage G1'' Minibot 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]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[January 20]], [[2021]]
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, concurrent with the ''Earthrise'' toyline and season of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|the Netflix cartoon]], 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. Almost ''all'' of Bumblebee's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic, which avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode. On both of his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of soft rubbery plastic. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bumblebee's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. 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. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation. The housing has also been updated for seemingly no reason, with a taller "collar" section compared to Cliffjumper and Hubcap.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Like the rest of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-branded]] subset of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: Bumblebee is one of two puzzling Netflix-branded figures that have become extra rare and valuable for a mutual set of confusing reasons; the other is [[Soundwave_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron_Trilogy|Soundwave]]. Most Netflix figures try to depict characters as they appeared on the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, favoring Cybertronian alt modes and extra battle damage, but that was not the goal for Bumblebee and Soundwave. Instead, with clean paint jobs and never-seen-on-Netflix Earth alt modes, they might be the most G1-faithful available versions of their characters in the [[Transformers:_Generations_(toyline)|Generations toyline]] era.

:If you actually want a toy that resembles Bumblebee from Netflix TV, then you might be looking for one of the [[Bumblebee_(G1)/toys#Buzzworthy_Bumblebee|Buzzworthy Bumblebees]].

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

===''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We all made that face trying to decipher that packaging.]]
*'''Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky''' (Core Class, [[2021]])
**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via a 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside, doubling as an exhaust pipe of sorts. Unlike most of the figures on this page, this Bumblebee features a matte finish on his vehicle tires ''and'' his gun.

:As seen in the rear packaging's stock render, Bumblebee's "wing" kibble/back fenders can be folded back for a cleaner robot appearance. As a result of sharing similarities to the original toy's transformation scheme, Bumblebee's arms sit slightly lower in robot mode.

:Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

:If one is crazy for show-accuracy, one of the blasters from [[Ratchet_(G1)/toys#Studio_Series|''Studio Series'' Core Class Ratchet]] can be used on this figure.

:Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

*'''Origin Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2021)
**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]], five [[conductor#Toys|conductor]]s

:''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''{{'}}s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" that Bumblebee cannot actually hold, and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The jet pack is 5 mm compatible, but is also specifically shaped to fit the back kibble of the ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper mold.

:Bumblebee was revealed by [https://www.facebook.com/indemandtoys/posts/2957071774536721 In Demand Toys on Facebook] in advance of any announcement by Hasbro or Target.

*'''Worlds Collide''' (4-pack, 2021)
**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''''
**''Accessories'': Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk, [[AllSpark#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Allspark]]

:Released as part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Worlds Collide" 4-pack, this Bumblebee features the body of ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper, while retaining the Bumblebee head from the Netflix-branded [[#War for Cybertron Trilogy|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toy]]. Essentially a redeco of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bug Bite, Bumblebee transforms into a custom 1980s sports coupe; hybridizing the Porsche 924 Turbo and {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}} models. He retains the bazooka included with all versions of the mold, this time painted green to resemble the bazooka [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] used in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]." He also comes with the [[AllSpark#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Allspark]], redecoed from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#2021Netflix|Megatron]]/[[Skelivore#Toys|Fossilizer Skelivore]] Spoiler Pack.

:Included in the set alongside Bumblebee is [[Nemesis Primal#Toys|Nemesis Primal]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Blackarachnia]], and [[Fangry (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Fangry]] with [[Brisko#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Brisko]]. While outwardly branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' on the packaging, the instructions label the set as part of ''[[Studio Series]]'', under the 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movie. The instructions also show the Cliffjumper head instead of the Bumblebee version.

:The set was found in a Walmart in the U.S.<ref>''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Worlds Collide found at Walmart by [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/buzzworthy-worlds-collide-set-found-at-walmart-but-not-in-system-more-pics/46101/ Seibertron.com]</ref> prior to an official reveal from Hasbro, possibly due to a shipment error. As with other ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, it is exclusive to [[Target]] in the U.S.

*'''Creatures Collide''' (4-pack, 2022)
**''Series'': '''''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'''''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield
:Part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, "Autobot Goldbug" is a chimera of molds, matching the vehicle mode parts from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] with the headsculpt from ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]]; it also makes use of the interior chest parts from the original ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], as the "popped collar" of the Bumblebee version of the toy would cause clearance issues with the shape of the Goldbug head. All this results in a robot loosely accurate to Goldbug's original character model that transforms into a licensed, goldy-caramel-coloured [[Volkswagen]] Beetle. He retains the same accessories and functionality as his prior ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' release.

:Alongside Goldbug, the set also includes [[Scorponok (BW)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Predacon Scorponok]], [[Ransack (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ransack]], and [[Skywasp#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Skywasp]]. The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line was exclusive to Target in the U.S., though this set was stocked by In Demand Toys in the UK before any official announcement by Hasbro.

*'''Bumblebee''' (All Star Rescan, [[2022]])

: A redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Rescue Bots]]'' Rescan Series [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar|car-mode Bumblebee]] figure, ''[[Transformers: Classic Heroes Team|Classic Heroes Team]]'' Bumblebee features a slightly different deco from the original release, including new black paint applications on the crotch and legs, altered silver highlights on the chest, and a little less black paint on the hands. The vehicle mode resembles the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar2018|2018 redeco]] of the same figure, with two stripes on the hood instead of just one, but also features a new Autobot insignia at the center of the hood.

:This toy was also released in a ''Rescue Bots Academy'' packaging with the ''Classic Heroes Team'' branding as a subline, arguably making it into [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#CHT|another incarnation of the character]].

**''Crossover with'': '''''G.I. Joe'''''
**''Accessories'': [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)#Collaborative|Sgt. Stalker]], turret, rifle

The eleventh figure released in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, "A.W.E Striker Bumblebee" is a 9-inch figure that transforms into the [[A.W.E. Striker]] vehicle used by the Joes (which in itself resembles a 1982 M1040 Chenowth "Hellfire" Fast Attack Vehicle, aka [[Beachcomber (G1)#Toys|Beachcomber]]'s altmode), serving as accounterpart to the [[Megatron_(G1)/Generations_toys#Collaborative|H.I.S.S Tank Megatron]] released beforehand. He includes a blaster that can be attached to the top of the alt mode as well as over Bumblebee's head.

The set also includes a reproduction of the vintage [[Stalker_(G.I._Joe)|Sgt. Stalker]] figure that can ride in the Striker or operate the aforementioned blaster in Bumblebee's robot mode. This figure comes packaged on a ''G.I. Joe Retro Collection'' style card included in the set.
