HarbringerOfDoom: /* Body type? */

This takes [[authorial intent]] to strange levels. "Sentinel Supreme" is kind of a big name that seems like it would be used for an important character. But he was just a dead generic. The writer and editor of the story did not intend to have dead character with such an important sounding name. Boo's post is also a little odd. "[Sentinel Supreme] played a Dead Decepticon once, and a Dead Autobot in another lol". What does that mean exactly? The "lol" should be a hint not to take it seriously.

I don't know if either of the dead cameos are intended to be Sentinel Supreme, judging on the "he played a ..." part, followed by a "lol". "Sentinel Supreme" appears to be Boo's fan character who was used for cameos. The article should at least have a "noname-designation" tag, if not moved to trivia on the Arrival issue pages. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:55, 17 January 2010 (EST)

:Well, we have an article for [[Vibes]] and she was just Don's fan character whose name was only ever given in interviews, right? '''--Spengs (at work, can't log in)'''
::I'm not sure this character's name was actually given. We want to take an "lol" post as canon? Plus the name introduces more continuity questions than "Vibes". Is he related to Sentinel Prime? Is "Supreme" a rank? The writer and editor of the series didn't intend for those questions to be introduced. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 13:47, 17 January 2010 (EST)

:::Yeah, I'm pretty much with Star on this. Characters like Vibes and [[Saber]] are just... ''there''. They don't do or mean anything. But to actually claim that this character is someone with an important name like "Sentinel Supreme" (given the emphasis ''Animated'' puts on names-as-ranks)... it sits ill with me. It's more like he recycled the design of his fan character for some corpses. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 13:50, 17 January 2010 (EST)

::::I can't say the creator is acting very... convincing to his character. Too many 'lol, I dunno' speak to take the matter seriously. That said, the 'character' is canon and this is the name his creator gave to him. Even if the name might seem misplaced (though rather only for the 'Supreme'... and what exactly do we know about 'supreme' as an indication of rank to say he can't be called 'Supreme'?), it's still his name.

:I think he should be at "Sentinel Supreme" as an Animated Decepticon character, with the G1 appearance slotted under trivia as a cameo. He appears as a living character in in the "Adventures in Reading" version of ''Bots of Science'', which is a more prominent role than "corpse". --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 23:08, 2 January 2011 (EST)

== Body type? ==

He's shown with two different color schemes, on two different factions, dying two different times. I think this is a body-type, rather than a single specific character. [[User:HarbringerOfDoom|HarbringerOfDoom]] ([[User talk:HarbringerOfDoom|talk]]) 09:11, 7 March 2016 (EST)

:''Overclock is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Universe]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:TFUniverseJagex-Overclock.jpg|thumb|upright=2.4]]
Appearances can be deceiving, and no [[Autobot]] proves that adage like '''Overclock'''. He may be sleek curves and traffic stopping looks on the outside, but he’s no pushover when it comes to combat – this master spy is armed with everything from time-bending lasers to starship-grade artillery.

Overclock was among the Autobots who were on board the ''[[Arclight (ship)|Arclight]]'' when it was shot down over [[Central City (Earth)|Central City]]. He survived the crash and proceeded to take part in a series of battles against the Decepticons who had come to [[Earth]] aboard the ''[[Leviathan]]''. {{storylink|Transformers Universe}}

==Notes==
*Overclock was first revealed during [[Jagex|Jagex’s]] Twitch live stream on May 13th, 2014. It was also revealed that he would be one of the three starting Autobots you can choose, alongside [[Monsoon]] and [[Triage (Prime)|Triage]].<ref>http://www.twitch.tv/transformersuniverse/c/4251429</ref>
* His in-game weapons include the [[Razer Rocket Launcher]], [[Quantum Laser Rifle]], and [[Urayan Energy Glove]]s. Transforming into a sports car, he utilizes an onboard gatling gun that damages shields.
*His in-game abilities are:
**'''Soldier Spy''' — increases weapon damage, and reduces reload and cooldown time.
**'''Explosive Experiment''' — igniting Overclock's own [[energon]] circulation somehow causes damage to enemies around him.
**'''Profile Absorber''' — a force field that reduces incoming damage using a comprehensive database Overclock has compiled on his foes.
* His active subsystem is "Silicon Sensors" which increases his damage output when receiving a melee critical hit.

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multi-billion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]) to have at least one toy in every size class.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

:A minor redeco and retool Cannon Bumblebee that replaces the head sculpt with the much smaller battle mask head previously used by Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2009)

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Robot Replicas|Robot Replica]] Bumblebee is an all-new sculpt with (arguably) better proportions and more sculpted detail than ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee. ("Arguably" because he has a tiny head.) Unlike ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee, he comes with a permanent cannon arm without a replacement hand arm. His [[license plate]] is also considerably smaller than that of ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee and features no detail aside from a red line evocative of a California license plate.

:Bizarrely, his chest still features detail from the front end of ''Movie'' Bumblebee's Concept (standard model) Camaro [[alternate mode]] (notably the fog lights) as compared to the ZL1 model's front end used for most ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee toys.

[[File:Transformers-2010-AA-02-Battle-Blade-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

:A [[redeco]] of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe class Bumblebee, this version is fluorescent yellow and blue, possibly as an [[homage]] to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s colors in the old [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comics]] by [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] (due to the limited color palette [[Nelson Yomtov]] was working with).

Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. He comes with two "Great Value" toys: an unchanged Legends-Class [[Mudflap (ROTF)#BattleOpsCostco|Mudflap]] figure and a "Premium" vacuum-metallized gold redeco of Bumblebee's own ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-Class figure.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse]] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is an all-new mold that takes basic design cues from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Bumblebee, but generally improves upon them by being more accurate in robot mode. His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as Cyberverse products.

:Whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of his packaging (which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]]) correctly show him with only a Cyberverse-compatible right hand and an unchanged left hand, the other set of stock photos (which feature a pre-production sample) depicts him with ''two'' retooled hands. Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B. Blackrock|"Black Rock"]], [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|"Maccadam's"]], [[:File:Dinobots symbol.png|the Beast Machines Dinobots Symbol]], and the number [[1984|84]], all in addition to his live-action movie Autobot insignia.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

The packaging puts emphasis on Backfire's "handheld cannon" mode, which this particular Bumblebee isn't really designed to hold.

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

**''Japanese ID number:'' AD08

: A toy exclusive to Takara's 'Movie Advanced' line, this Bumblebee is a redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers (2010)'']] Battle Blade Bumblebee. Unlike the Masterpiece Movie Bumblebee, this toy has metallic yellow paint on yellow plastic...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.

:This Bumblebee is a new mold that matches the character's more cartoony and simplified appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon. To distinguish it from the previous toy it's released under the name "Bumblebee (Shirei, sasugassu!)", adding to his name a phrase translating to "As expected of the commander!" (司令、さすがっす!) said in a flippant kinda way. This line was given as one of Bumblebee's catchphrases in his profile for the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

:This toy was re-released with a new ID number as part of the second ''Q-Transformers'' series.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
* [[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multi-billion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus prime]] to have at least one toy in every size class.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

:A Walmart [[exclusive]] three pack, ''The Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|''Classics'']], Movie Deluxe Concept Camaro ([[Premium Series]]) and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble.

===Screen Battles===

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

===Ultimate===
[[File:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as.

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen.

The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part.

**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Robot Replicas|Robot Replica]] Bumblebee is an all-new sculpt with (arguably) better proportions and more sculpted detail than ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee. ("Arguably" because he has a tiny head.) Unlike ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee, he comes with a permanent cannon arm without a replacement hand arm. His [[license plate]] is also considerably smaller than that of ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee and features no detail aside from a red line evocative of a California license plate.

:Bizarrely, his chest still features detail from the front end of ''Movie'' Bumblebee's Concept (standard model) Camaro [[alternate mode]] (notably the fog lights) as compared to the ZL1 model's front end used for most ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee toys.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Evolution 2-Pack, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back or removed and held as throwing star weapons. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#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. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD27'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

:An unchanged version of the Bumblebee figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color.

:Most promotional images, except the ones from Takara, featuring this figure (like the one at right) have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chat correctly.

:The mold was later redecoed as [[Stinger_(AOE)#Movie_Advanced_Series|Movie Advanced Series Stinger]].

Unlike the Masterpiece Movie Bumblebee, this toy has metallic yellow paint on yellow plastic...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.

**''ID numbers:'' '''QT-24''', '''QTF-02'''

:This Bumblebee is a new mold that matches the character's more cartoony and simplified appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon. To distinguish it from the previous toy it's released under the name "Bumblebee (Shirei, sasugassu!)", adding to his name a phrase translating to "As expected of the commander!" (司令、さすがっす!) said in a flippant kinda way. This line was given as one of Bumblebee's catchphrases in his profile for the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

:This toy was re-released with a new ID number as part of the second ''Q-Transformers'' series.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro 2012 Transformers Special Edition''' (2011)

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
* [[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.

*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus Prime Voice Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

: A non-transforming mold that's larger than his Leader-Class toy with various lights and sounds.

: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the small button below the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] on his back windshield plays one of three sounds of him driving recklessly, with each sound having him driving, braking, and hitting things, or any combination of the three.

: His most prominent gimmick, however, is his Stealth Force mode: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the Autobot symbol on the windshield plays the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]], deploys various weapons on the roof, sides, and the side portions of the hood (where his stripes are), while his trunk extends, the fenders with his front wheels split open, and the central portion of his hood opens, raising and amusingly revealing his peeking robot head. The cannon on his roof is spring-loaded and functional, and is designed to fire the included [[missile]].

: Pressing the Autobot symbol each time during Stealth Force mode will play one of six sounds of Bumblebee saying something. A total of twelve sounds in a ''specific'' order are played before it repeats, with four sounds playing twice, one playing ''thrice'', and one playing once. Also, pressing the small button below the symbol this time will play one of a series of five sounds. It's essentially the three "reckless driving" sounds with an additional two sounds of him firing his weapons in between. [[You]] still have to fire the missile launcher manually, however.

: Pushing his trunk back into the vehicle will revert him back to his normal vehicle mode, playing the descending version of the transformation noise in the process.

: Finally, the two plastic covers of the sides of his [[packaging]] can be removed and used as a display stand, although they have no means of connecting together.

Plasma cannon

[[Image:Movie Bumblebee cannon.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Where's your liquid nitrogen NOW, fleshlings?]]
'''Plasma cannons''' are weapons which fire bursts of plasma at opponents.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Quake (G1)|Quake]]'s primary weapon in tank mode is his turret-mounted plasma cannon with a range of 40 miles. His allies would be more impressed with it, if he wasn't just as likely to blow them up as a platoon of Autobots. [[Longtooth]]'s inner robot is armed with a hand-held plasma cannon.

===Beast Wars===
The ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' was equipped with a plasma cannon. When it became apparent that the ship was falling into [[Earth|an unnamed planet]]'s atmosphere, [[Optimus Primal]] ordered that the plasma cannon be fired on the fleeing ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. The blast successfully crippled the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] vessel. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

The almighty [[Shokaract]] wields his own personal plasma cannon. {{storylink|Shokaract#Beast Wars|Shokaract's toy bio}}

Optimus Primal himself was also armed with Plasma Cannons, mounted on his forearms in his original gorilla body. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Likewise, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is himself equipped with plasma weaponry, the thigh-mounted "Plasma-Busters" of his original T-rex body. {{storylink|Megatron Chapter}}

===''Universe''===
A plasma cannon was the [[alternate mode]] of an [[Plasma cannon grannybot|elderly robot]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Movie continuity===
Plasma cannons are employed by both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

Upon arriving on Earth, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used his plasma cannon to destroy an [[F-22 Raptor]] that he had just [[Trans-scan|scanned]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4}}

[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s primary weapon is a plasma cannon, which he used to great effect against [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]...as well as intimidating his former [[Sector Seven]] oppressors. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===Prime===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] wields a plasma cannon, which is usually integrated into and can be deployed from his right arm.

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFC Plasma Cannon.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The Plasma Cannon was a favored weapon of [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] and [[Cloaker (WFC)|Cloaker]] class Transformers during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. It released bolts that could be charged to higher intensity levels. The Plasma Cannon was most effective against big, slow-moving targets, like hovering [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldiers]] or [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{note|The Plasma Cannon can be charged up by holding down the fire button. It has the following ingame stats:
*Damage: 8
*Range: 8
*Accuracy: 7
*Rate of Fire: 3}}

:Bumblebee is a retool of the Deluxe-Class Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold. Among various changes, his right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm was slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either had to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon had to be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market).

: Aside from a sword, Optimus Prime comes with a plasma cannon which can [[5mm post|peg]] into his hands.

It is stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto either the trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to nominally peg the cannon facing backwards onto one of the side pegs. Additionally, the cannon features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet.

: His [[stock photography]] shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back.

There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard.

[[Image:Movie Bumblebee cannon.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Where's your liquid nitrogen NOW, fleshlings?]]
'''Plasma cannons''' are weapons which fire bursts of plasma at opponents.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Quake (G1)|Quake]]'s primary weapon in tank mode is his turret-mounted plasma cannon with a range of 40 miles. His allies would be more impressed with it, if he wasn't just as likely to blow them up as a platoon of Autobots. [[Longtooth]]'s inner robot is armed with a hand-held plasma cannon.

===Beast Wars===
The ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' was equipped with a plasma cannon. When it became apparent that the ship was falling into [[Earth|an unnamed planet]]'s atmosphere, [[Optimus Primal]] ordered that the plasma cannon be fired on the fleeing ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. The blast successfully crippled the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] vessel. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

The almighty [[Shokaract]] wields his own personal plasma cannon. {{storylink|Shokaract#Beast Wars|Shokaract's toy bio}}

Optimus Primal himself was also armed with Plasma Cannons, mounted on his forearms in his original gorilla body. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Likewise, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is himself equipped with plasma weaponry, the thigh-mounted "Plasma-Busters" of his original T-rex body. {{storylink|Megatron Chapter}}

===''Universe''===
A plasma cannon was the [[alternate mode]] of an [[Plasma cannon grannybot|elderly robot]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Movie continuity===
Plasma cannons are employed by both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

Upon arriving on Earth, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used his plasma cannon to destroy an [[F-22 Raptor]] that he had just [[Trans-scan|scanned]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4}}

[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s primary weapon is a plasma cannon, which he used to great effect against [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]...as well as intimidating his former [[Sector Seven]] oppressors. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===Prime===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] wields a plasma cannon, which is usually integrated into and can be deployed from his right arm.

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFC Plasma Cannon.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The Plasma Cannon was a favored weapon of [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] and [[Cloaker (WFC)|Cloaker]] class Transformers during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. It released bolts that could be charged to higher intensity levels. The Plasma Cannon was most effective against big, slow-moving targets, like hovering [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldiers]] or [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{note|The Plasma Cannon can be charged up by holding down the fire button. It has the following ingame stats:
*Damage: 8
*Range: 8
*Accuracy: 7
*Rate of Fire: 3}}

:Bumblebee is a retool of the Deluxe-Class Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold. Among various changes, his right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm was slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either had to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon had to be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market).

It is stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto either the trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to nominally peg the cannon facing backwards onto one of the side pegs. Additionally, the cannon features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet.

[[Image:Movie Bumblebee cannon.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Where's your liquid nitrogen NOW, fleshlings?]]
'''Plasma cannons''' are weapons which fire bursts of plasma at opponents.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Quake (G1)|Quake]]'s primary weapon in tank mode is his turret-mounted plasma cannon with a range of 40 miles. His allies would be more impressed with it, if he wasn't just as likely to blow them up as a platoon of Autobots. [[Longtooth]]'s inner robot is armed with a hand-held plasma cannon.

===Beast Wars===
The ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' was equipped with a plasma cannon. When it became apparent that the ship was falling into [[Earth|an unnamed planet]]'s atmosphere, [[Optimus Primal]] ordered that the plasma cannon be fired on the fleeing ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. The blast successfully crippled the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] vessel. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

The almighty [[Shokaract]] wields his own personal plasma cannon. {{storylink|Shokaract#Beast Wars|Shokaract's toy bio}}

Optimus Primal himself was also armed with Plasma Cannons, mounted on his forearms in his original gorilla body. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Likewise, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is himself equipped with plasma weaponry, the thigh-mounted "Plasma-Busters" of his original T-rex body. {{storylink|Megatron Chapter}}

===''Universe''===
A plasma cannon was the [[alternate mode]] of an [[Plasma cannon grannybot|elderly robot]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Movie continuity===
Plasma cannons are employed by both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

Upon arriving on Earth, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used his plasma cannon to destroy an [[F-22 Raptor]] that he had just [[Trans-scan|scanned]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4}}

[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s primary weapon is a plasma cannon, which he used to great effect against [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]...as well as intimidating his former [[Sector Seven]] oppressors. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===Prime===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] wields a plasma cannon, which is usually integrated into and can be deployed from his right arm.

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFC Plasma Cannon.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The Plasma Cannon was a favored weapon of [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] and [[Cloaker (WFC)|Cloaker]] class Transformers during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. It released bolts that could be charged to higher intensity levels. The Plasma Cannon was most effective against big, slow-moving targets, like hovering [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldiers]] or [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{note|The Plasma Cannon can be charged up by holding down the fire button. It has the following ingame stats:
*Damage: 8
*Range: 8
*Accuracy: 7
*Rate of Fire: 3}}

:Bumblebee is a retool of the Deluxe-Class Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold. Among various changes, his right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm was slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either had to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon had to be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market).

'''Plasma cannons''' are weapons which fire bursts of plasma at opponents.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Quake (G1)|Quake]]'s primary weapon in tank mode is his turret-mounted plasma cannon with a range of 40 miles. His allies would be more impressed with it, if he wasn't just as likely to blow them up as a platoon of Autobots. [[Longtooth]]'s inner robot is armed with a hand-held plasma cannon.

===Beast Wars===
The ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' was equipped with a plasma cannon. When it became apparent that the ship was falling into [[Earth|an unnamed planet]]'s atmosphere, [[Optimus Primal]] ordered that the plasma cannon be fired on the fleeing ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. The blast successfully crippled the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] vessel. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

The almighty [[Shokaract]] wields his own personal plasma cannon. {{storylink|Shokaract#Beast Wars|Shokaract's toy bio}}

Optimus Primal himself was also armed with Plasma Cannons, mounted on his forearms in his original gorilla body. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Likewise, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is himself equipped with plasma weaponry, the thigh-mounted "Plasma-Busters" of his original T-rex body. {{storylink|Megatron Chapter}}

===''Universe''===
A plasma cannon was the [[alternate mode]] of an [[Plasma cannon grannybot|elderly robot]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Movie continuity===
Plasma cannons are employed by both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

Upon arriving on Earth, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used his plasma cannon to destroy an [[F-22 Raptor]] that he had just [[Trans-scan|scanned]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4}}

[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s primary weapon is a plasma cannon, which he used to great effect against [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]...as well as intimidating his former [[Sector Seven]] oppressors. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===Prime===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] wields a plasma cannon, which is usually integrated into and can be deployed from his right arm.

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFC Plasma Cannon.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The Plasma Cannon was a favored weapon of [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] and [[Cloaker (WFC)|Cloaker]] class Transformers during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. It released bolts that could be charged to higher intensity levels. The Plasma Cannon was most effective against big, slow-moving targets, like hovering [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldiers]] or [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{note|The Plasma Cannon can be charged up by holding down the fire button. It has the following ingame stats:

:Bumblebee is a retool of the Deluxe-Class Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold. Among various changes, his right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm was slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either had to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon had to be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market).

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:''Accessories:'' "Cybertronian battle sword", "plasma cannon"
: Aside from a sword, Optimus Prime comes with a plasma cannon which can [[5mm post|peg]] into his hands. The cannon (and the sword, for that matter) completely sheathes his hand, to simulate the appearance of integrated weaponry. It is stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto either the trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to nominally peg the cannon facing backwards onto one of the side pegs. Additionally, the cannon features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet.

: His [[stock photography]] shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features laser pulse sounds and a "laser flare beam" (lights), while the plasma cannon mode has "plasma pulse lights" and explosion sounds.

*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

:Bumblebee is a retool of the Deluxe-Class Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold. Among various changes, his right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm was slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either had to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon had to be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market).

He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2011)
:''Accessories:'' "Cybertronian battle sword", "plasma cannon"
: Aside from a sword, Optimus Prime comes with a plasma cannon which can [[5mm post|peg]] into his hands. The cannon (and the sword, for that matter) completely sheathes his hand, to simulate the appearance of integrated weaponry. It is stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto either the trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to nominally peg the cannon facing backwards onto one of the side pegs. Additionally, the cannon features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet.

: His [[stock photography]] shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

*'''Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster''' (2008)
:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features laser pulse sounds and a "laser flare beam" (lights), while the plasma cannon mode has "plasma pulse lights" and explosion sounds.

: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

[[Image:Movie Bumblebee cannon.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Where's your liquid nitrogen NOW, fleshlings?]]
'''Plasma cannons''' are weapons which fire bursts of plasma at opponents.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Quake (G1)|Quake]]'s primary weapon in tank mode is his turret-mounted plasma cannon with a range of 40 miles. His allies would be more impressed with it, if he wasn't just as likely to blow them up as a platoon of Autobots. [[Longtooth]]'s inner robot is armed with a hand-held plasma cannon.

===Beast Wars===
The ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' was equipped with a plasma cannon. When it became apparent that the ship was falling into [[Earth|an unnamed planet]]'s atmosphere, [[Optimus Primal]] ordered that the plasma cannon be fired on the fleeing ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. The blast successfully crippled the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] vessel. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

The almighty [[Shokaract]] wields his own personal plasma cannon. {{storylink|Shokaract#Beast Wars|Shokaract's toy bio}}

Optimus Primal himself was also armed with Plasma Cannons, mounted on his forearms in his original gorilla body. {{storylink|Optimus Primal Chapter}}

Likewise, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is himself equipped with plasma weaponry, the thigh-mounted "Plasma-Busters" of his original T-rex body. {{storylink|Megatron Chapter}}

===''Universe''===
A plasma cannon was the [[alternate mode]] of an [[Plasma cannon grannybot|elderly robot]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Movie continuity===
Plasma cannons are employed by both the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

Upon arriving on Earth, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used his plasma cannon to destroy an [[F-22 Raptor]] that he had just [[Trans-scan|scanned]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4}}

[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s primary weapon is a plasma cannon, which he used to great effect against [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]...as well as intimidating his former [[Sector Seven]] oppressors. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===Prime===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] wields a plasma cannon, which is usually integrated into and can be deployed from his right arm.

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFC Plasma Cannon.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The Plasma Cannon was a favored weapon of [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] and [[Cloaker (WFC)|Cloaker]] class Transformers during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. It released bolts that could be charged to higher intensity levels. The Plasma Cannon was most effective against big, slow-moving targets, like hovering [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldiers]] or [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{note|The Plasma Cannon can be charged up by holding down the fire button. It has the following ingame stats:

He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:''Accessories:'' "Cybertronian battle sword", "plasma cannon"
: Aside from a sword, Optimus Prime comes with a plasma cannon which can [[5mm post|peg]] into his hands.

It is stored in vehicle mode by pegging it onto either the trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to nominally peg the cannon facing backwards onto one of the side pegs. Additionally, the cannon features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet.

: His [[stock photography]] shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features laser pulse sounds and a "laser flare beam" (lights), while the plasma cannon mode has "plasma pulse lights" and explosion sounds.

: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

Optimus Prime (G1)/toys

2016-02-25T16:34:27Z

HarbringerOfDoom: /* Cyber Series */

{{suite}}
[[File:G1 OptimusPrime boxart.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Awwwwww yeah......]]
Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

==Generation 1==
{{anchor|G1v1}}
[[File:G1 OptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From the ''Diaclone'' Battle Convoy came Optimus Prime and all his subsequent incarnations.]]
* '''Optimus Prime''' (1984, 1985, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), [[Trailer]]/[[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

: The original Optimus Prime toy started life as the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy, "Battle Convoy", created by a team of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] designers who came on board when the original designer fell behind. This team included [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (listed as the sole creator on the toy's patent) and famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. The toy transforms into two major components; the first component being a red and blue post-1973 White Freightliner 96-inch cab WFT cab over engine semi-trailer truck partially composed of [[die-cast]] metal, and the second component being a large silver trailer of currently-undetermined model.

:The cab transforms into the [[robot mode]] of Optimus Prime himself, with the addition of a pair of removable blue fists that plug into his headlights. The fists themselves do not store anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's opening chest compartment (originally designed to accommodate two ''Diaclone'' driver figures). Prime is armed with a black laser rifle that, due to design, he cannot hold straight.

:Prime's trailer opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three pegs that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories, and seating for two ''Diaclone'' drivers. As its central feature, the Combat Deck features a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm (featuring another cockpit for a ''Diaclone'' driver), which can also be extended through holes in the trailer's roof and front-end when it is closed. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller himself has seating for four ''Diaclone'' passengers, and features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard Autobot car, which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

[[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

:Optimus Prime was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured larger fists, a gun with a thick, round barrel, a slightly-differently shaped gas pump, grey rockets, a grey Roller, a grey launcher in his Combat Deck, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, his fists were slimmed down, the gun's barrel was pared down to a more slender form, the gas pump's shape was altered, the rockets and launcher were recast in black plastic, the metal plates were removed from the Combat Deck, and Roller's color was changed to a light blue. Along with Roller's color change, however, the Combat Deck's drone pod also became light blue, and a third running change soon followed that saw it restored to its original darker blue, and Roller changed along with it. These modified components would become the default accessories used by subsequent reissues of the Prime toy would take, though Roller stills fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

:The Japanese release of the figure also underwent the changes in weapon shapes, but never featured a silver Roller; instead, their original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version of the mold. Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue.

:Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|Transformers movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered ''rare''.)

:Over twenty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Limited edition promotional variant, 1985)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (dark blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

:A limited edition of the Optimus Prime toy sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[PepsiCo]] was made available in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer. This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#Classics|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

: Commemorating the death of Optimus Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this set contains a special version of the original Optimus Prime figure with show-inspired translucent blue windows. It was packaged with [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Red Alert (G1)|Alert]], in an apparent homage to the similar ''Diaclone'' "Powered Convoy DX" giftset that packaged the "Powered Convoy" version of the Optimus mold with figures using the molds of Ligier and Alert.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)
**''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 Laser Rifles, 2 Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Super Robot head
[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling.]]
:Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, utilizing the [[Powermaster]] gimmick of requiring the partner figure, who transforms into an engine module, to be inserted into a special area on the main toy before it is able to transform.

:Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

:Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka

: The largest ''[[Action Master]]'' set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "[[Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body.

:The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year" reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002.

: As one of the first ''[[Transform Jr]]'' toys, this version of Optimus Prime was released under the early name for the series, ''Transform Gōkin''. As a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 Prime figure intended as a low-cost alternative for younger children, Prime features a similar transformation, with a removable head in addition to fists, but lacks rubber tires and translucent windows.

* '''Star Convoy''' (Powered Master, 1991)
**''ID number:'' '''C-372'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, [[Micro Trailer]], Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps

: As the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, the Japanese-exclusive Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". Powered by four AA batteries, the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

:Unlike previous Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

:Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were stamp graphed on him, similarly, Hot Rod's were replaced with the same stamp graphing applications. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (light blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, sound and lights module

:The first ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy was largely identical in sculpt to the original Generation 1 figure release. While his cab robot retained his original red and blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus' name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components were changed to a lighter blue, as was Roller. Another running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg.

:''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories, as well as two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, he is armed with a pair of black missile launchers that fit in his fists and fire red spring-loaded missiles; these launchers were retooled from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade]. Secondly, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles the air conditioners used on refrigerated trailers), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] (via a new slot sculpted into the cab robot). The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [[:File:G2OptimusNoises.ogg|a trio of sound effects]]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect and a garbled voice that said "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-1'''

:[[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a Kenworth truck of unknown model which defies Optimus convention by being one continuous unit, rather than the traditional cab-and-trailer combo. In addition to a small gun, he is armed with a large missile launcher, which can fire a rubber-tipped rocket by means of a bellows which you slam your fist down on to produce a puff of air. The launcher is accessible in both modes, ending up mounted on his right forearm in robot mode; the bellows is attached via a rubber hose and cannot be disconnected, but stores on the figures's back when not in use, as do the rockets. A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

[[File:G2toy laser optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|What was that about shoulder-speakers, Jazz?]]

: Laser Optimus Prime transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with an unintentionally humourous sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a forest, with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" over the image. Not an especially Primey thing to do! The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

:In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

:Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. The following year, it was released by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart, Scourge, with retooled discs that lacked the Autobot insignia. Following this, the next use of the mold was planned to be ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The modified tooling was also used when Laser Prime was reissued by Takara in 2006 with a modified deco ([[#G2reissue|see below]]), and for the e-Hobby exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]] that accompanied the reissue's release. In 2015, ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Year of the Goat]]'' Optimus Prime, another repaint version, comes with partially transparent plastic torso.

:In addition to being the most popular Generation 2 figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular Transformers toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual Transformers fan awards, "The Trannies." The toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

:The Japanese release of this toy swapped out the orange plastic for neon yellow, and had a large tampograph on the car's hood that was shaped like a stylized letter 'T', with the Transformers logo in it. Going against the grain, this toy was released in Japan with the name "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".

:This sculpt was redecoed from the ''Generation 2'' Gobot [[Firecracker]]. The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic. It was redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] (who Prime ''really'' looks a lot like), and would later be used to created ''Robots in Disguise'' [[R.E.V.]].

{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

* '''Optimus Primal vs Megatron!''' (Basic versus two-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-6'''[[File:BWtoy-Primalbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm Batman, and I can breathe in space.]]
**''Accessories:'' Two swords
:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character to either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal]].

* '''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 1996/1997/1998)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, four missiles, flail
: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''Comics Bom Bom'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

: Available only in a special CD-ROM two-pack with a [[Megatron (BW)/toys|purple redeco of "Megaligator"]], this version of Optimus Primal (maybe) retains its previous gimmickry. his back features a silver Maximal [[Insignia|faction symbol]] plus "C-ROM", as in "Cybertron", get it? Huh? And Megatron has the "D-ROM"? See what they did there?

: Just what character this toy represents is up for debate. The toy's [[bio]] claims he used to turn into a tractor-trailer (indicating Optimus Prime), but considering the timeframe of when they were written and the whole lack of a stance on who Primal "was" before the show and blah blah blah... it's just easier to file this under the same iffiness as the original toy bios set on modern [[Earth]] and leave it at that.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a redeco and slight retool of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash]], transforming into a Cybertronic truck cab. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile launchers. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the launchers operated on a gravity-feed system that saw a new missile drop into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession, but for ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be dialed back [[for safety reasons]]. The missiles had to be lengthened to prevent choking hazards, and so the toy's launchers were modified to accommodate them, becoming straightforward spring-loaded single-firing weapons.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys R Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]: In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened, while the Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name.

:The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 Chronicle DOTM two pack. Meanwhile, the trailer is the lighter grey version from the 2008 Universe release. This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys R Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:As yet another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues added a few extra goodies to spice things up. Chiefly, the figure was armed with a new [[energon-axe]], based on the weapon used by Prime in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", which plugs into either of the headlight-holes that normally accommodate Prime's fists. Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

Both of Prime's modes are represented by non-transforming individual figures, which come together in a two-pack. In-box, his truck form is even packed in a miniature recreation of his original Japanese packaging, which also includes a shrunken version of his sticker sheet.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (2003/2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, cardboard trailer (Japanese release only)

: As the name suggests, this impressive incarnation of Optimus Prime was produced in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of what would come to be several installments in their ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]], but incorrectly shown to be long in the stock photography shown at right), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists and abdomen.

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[#Classics|DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

: For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions.

: This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

: Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

: Released by TakaraTomy as part of a 2010 promotion honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in blacks and greys, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:MP-10 Convoy is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode.

* '''G1 Convoy''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Convoy Gun", missile launcher, missile, energon-axe, 4 fists (2 left, 2 right)

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes its cue from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes, least of all anything that could be described as a successful transformation.

:G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

The winning entry was a... ''startling'' mixture of blue, orange and two shades of green, earning the toy the [[fandom|fan]]-appointed nickname of "Crayola Convoy". As with all Lucky Draws, it is extremely rare, with only ten units produced.

[[File:SpychangerG1Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Why won't they repaint my full-size toy in these colours?!?]]
* '''Optimus Prime''' (Spy Changer, 2004)

: ''Universe'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] [[Spy Changer]] toy. He replaces most of the black plastic with predominantly red and blue, with silver for detailing, with an overall deco making him resemble the original Optimus Prime. Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.

: Originally a KB Toys exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

:This mold would later be redecoed into [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|a Spy Changer version of]] the live-action movie [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

: This [[Collector's Edition]] Japanese [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive was a redeco of [[Targetmaster]] [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], released in conjunction with the 2006 reissue of Kup and designed to represent the character [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Orion Pax]] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 television series]] episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]". Orion transforms into a Cybertronic pickup truck and came with both a gun and [[Roller (G1)|Barrelroller]], a redeco of [[Recoil]]. He has full shoulder rotation, though the way his elbows are set up means he cannot make full use of their joints. His legs feature no articulation whatsoever.

: Just as the reissued Kup came with a reissue of [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], this set also included a redeco of Wheelie as Orion's best friend, [[Dion]].

==Hybrid Style==
*'''Convoy''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''T.H.S.-02'''[[File:THS02Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Expensive and tiny.]]
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, [[jet pack|rocket pack]], 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand

: ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, rocket pack, 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand, 2 missile launchers, 2 heads

:Available exclusively through e-Hobby, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

==Alternators/Binaltech==
[[File:Alternators OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I don't come with a creepy girl...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2006)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun
: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

[[File:Convoy BT.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|...and neither do I...]]
:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]]

* '''Convoy X Melissa''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, "[[Surfblade]]" surfboard/sword weapon, [[Marissa Faireborn]] figurine with stand and 2 pairs of arms and legs

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#CD collections and special episodes|Someday, Under the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, display stand

: Based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]", this version of Prime transforms into Cybertronian truck. The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:This [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] ''Titanium'' two-pack includes the previously-released ''War Within'' Optimus Prime figure along with the ''War Within'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Megatron]] Megatron figure and an exclusive [[variant]] cover of ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' [[The War Within issue 5|#5]].

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

:There appears to be a variant of this two-pack: One version has the Optimus Prime figure more or less identical to its individual release, whereas the other one drops the additional black paint weathering, making him much cleaner-looking.

: ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is an all-new modern Optimus Prime design based upon the original Optimus Prime, as is the intention for the ''Classics'' toyline. He transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle

: This ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is a smaller, Deluxe Class figure with a noticeable physical resemblance to Takara's ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' Prime figure, and a transformation that is about as successful. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''Welcome to Transformers 2010'' ("Sons of Cybertron", above) and [[#United|United]] (below).

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leader, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, display stand

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecoed as a mail-in prize for TakaraTomy's ''Transformers 2010'' promotion, intended to be used with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot Rod/toys|Rodimus Convoy]], and again when it was packaged with the "Last Production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#Generation 1|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his right shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented features, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's 25th Anniverary releases. Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of Prime's shoulder-sticker: the figure's shoulders are textured with small bumps, which had, since 1984, made evenly applying the Autobot symbol sticker to his left arm a challenge. ''Encore'' Prime finally replaces the sticker with a tampograph, and also adds one to his right shoulder for symmetry.

[[File:MusicLabel-toy iPodConvoy.JPG|thumb|upright=1.66|You just paid 140 bucks for a new headsculpt, didn't you? I bet you don't even ''own'' an iPod...]]
: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable Lego-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's transformation scheme is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''Henkei! Henkei! Transformers'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since ''Henkei!'' toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, ''Henkei'' Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

[[File:Universetoy 25th anniversary optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And the block has returned!!!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, sound effects module, comic, DVD

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter. This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."

:The international release was repackaged in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. In addition, there are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase. In Australia, it was initially a Meijer exclusive, but later found its way to Toys R US and finally (at roughly 70% off the initial $100 price tag) K-Mart and Target.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the Optimus Prime of [[universal stream]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Binaltech|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy Super Black]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]] and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Sword

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into a racing truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]" and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#InvasionSGPrime|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

**''Accessories:'' "Laser Rod" sword

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the deluxe Prime figure from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' "Laser" form. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#G2reissue|2006 Reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand. We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor|Doctor Who Adventures]]'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!). A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see above). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #001'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Optimus Prime is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]], and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle. He has a 5mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)|Autobot Pipes]].

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by [[Guido Guidi|Guido Guidi's]] design for the character, originally seen in '[[Spotlight: Blurr]]'. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into partially-octagonal "hole" on the larger blade of the Energon Axe.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's '[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:SpotlightOP cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations#Combiner Wars|Generations: Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Energon Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]].

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars'' toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], and redecoed into ''Unite Warriors'' [[Grand_Scourge#Unite_Warriors|Grand Scourge]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. Per the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's Motormaster, [[Grand_Scourge#Unite_Warriors|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

==Notes==
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not so Optimus Prime.]]

*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.

*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;

Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Overcompensating.]]

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|100px|thumb|Blockhead.]]
*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|100px|thumb|''Triple-Power-Headmaster Optimus Prime'' was just too damn long to put on the box.]]
*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

*''Return of Convoy'' catalogues reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.

* The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime's]] package art.
* On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.

Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)

{{disambig3|Scorn}}
:''Scorn is a [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] from the brick-built world of [[Kre-O]].
[[File:KreO-Toy AoE Dinobot Scorn.jpg|right|thumb|400px| Probably goes hat shopping with the Statue of Liberty.]]

'''Scorn''' likes him some tasty tasty Vehicons.

==Toys==
===Kre-O===
*'''Scorn Street Chase''' (2014)
**''Set number'': '''A6950'''
**''Pieces'': '''106'''
**''Kreons'': Crosshairs, Vehicon x2.

: The centerpiece of the "[[Scorn Street Chase]]" set, ''Kre-O'' Scorn is a buildable dino-beast. (No, he has no alternate robot build.) His head has a small magnet in the roof of his mouth that allows him to "bite" and carry ferrous metal items, like the crest of the new Vehicon helmets, or the 2x2 circular plate that makes up the Vehicons' backpacks. He has movable (non-firing) cannons on each hip, plus he has exposed studs on his back to allow a [[Kreon]] to ride him. He features no ''spinosaurus'' sails.

: Unfortunately, Scorn has some construction issues. His tail is extremely lightweight, providing virtually no counterbalance to his front half if you want to have him in a pose that doesn't basically have him standing vertical. His knees are simple clip-and-bar affairs that do not have enough "grip" to hold onto any real weight. When built as shown in the instructions, the jointing is awkward and leaves him with few non-tail-dragging poses. However, building his legs as shown in the promotional photography, omitting the 1x2 plates with the small slope, gives him knees that bend backwards and do a much better job of supporting his weight when standing in a natural horizontal-body pose.

: The set also comes with Kreons of [[Crosshairs (Kre-O)|Crosshairs]] and two [[Vehicon (Kre-O)#AOE|Vehicons]], plus a simple banner with "Hong Kong" in Chinese (and technically Japanese too).

* '''Scorn''' (Custom Kreon, 2014)
[[File:Custom Kreon Scorn.jpg|thumb]]
Part of the 3rd wave of the Custom Kreon Age of Extinction Collection, this Custom Kreon Scorn is based on his Age of Extinction counterpart. Lichees wave mates, he saw limited release in Hasbro Asia.

: A fold-out "pseudo-figure" of Bumblebee "transforms" from a flat, yellow platform decorated with the Autobot symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Bumblebee is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise|Optimus]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys|Ironhide]]. A similar mold was used to creature the Lunchables figure for [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream]], though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one.

:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features laser pulse sounds and a "laser flare beam" (lights), while the plasma cannon mode has "plasma pulse lights" and explosion sounds.

[[File:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]
*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus Prime Voice Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

[[File:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

: A non-transforming mold that's larger than his Leader-Class toy with various lights and sounds.

: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the small button below the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] on his back windshield plays one of three sounds of him driving recklessly, with each sound having him driving, braking, and hitting things, or any combination of the three.

: His most prominent gimmick, however, is his Stealth Force mode: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the Autobot symbol on the windshield plays the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]], deploys various weapons on the roof, sides, and the side portions of the hood (where his stripes are), while his trunk extends, the fenders with his front wheels split open, and the central portion of his hood opens, raising and amusingly revealing his peeking robot head. The cannon on his roof is spring-loaded and functional, and is designed to fire the included [[missile]].

: Pressing the Autobot symbol each time during Stealth Force mode will play one of six sounds of Bumblebee saying something. A total of twelve sounds in a ''specific'' order are played before it repeats, with four sounds playing twice, one playing ''thrice'', and one playing once. Also, pressing the small button below the symbol this time will play one of a series of five sounds. It's essentially the three "reckless driving" sounds with an additional two sounds of him firing his weapons in between. [[You]] still have to fire the missile launcher manually, however.

: Pushing his trunk back into the vehicle will revert him back to his normal vehicle mode, playing the descending version of the transformation noise in the process.

[[Image:Shortround_toilet_mode.jpg|right|thumb|[[Daran Norris|Supertoilet.]]]]
A '''fan mode''' is an unofficial mode of [[transformation]] which adds to the playability of a [[toy|figure]]. Fan modes vary from slight changes to drastic reconfigurations of the original transformation scheme.
[[Shortround]] has one of the more infamous fan modes—the toy can be turned into a fair approximation of a [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/108491-how-do-you-make-shortrounds-toilet-mode.html#post782064 toilet].

Another common fan mode is some form of [http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=63663&p=1053941 robot mode combination] between the [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe mold]] and the [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker mold]].

Fan mode possibilities depend on the [[articulation]], [[transformation]], and design of a toy. For instance, due to the [[autotransformation]] gimmick, [[flipchanger]]s have small amounts of potential fan modes, while [[Movie]] toys have a huge amount.

{{anchor|ROTFVoicechanger}}
[[File:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]
*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus Prime Voice Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

: A non-transforming mold that's larger than his Leader-Class toy with various lights and sounds.

: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the small button below the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] on his back windshield plays one of three sounds of him driving recklessly, with each sound having him driving, braking, and hitting things, or any combination of the three.

: His most prominent gimmick, however, is his Stealth Force mode: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the Autobot symbol on the windshield plays the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]], deploys various weapons on the roof, sides, and the side portions of the hood (where his stripes are), while his trunk extends, the fenders with his front wheels split open, and the central portion of his hood opens, raising and amusingly revealing his peeking robot head. The cannon on his roof is spring-loaded and functional, and is designed to fire the included [[missile]].

: Pressing the Autobot symbol each time during Stealth Force mode will play one of six sounds of Bumblebee saying something. A total of twelve sounds in a ''specific'' order are played before it repeats, with four sounds playing twice, one playing ''thrice'', and one playing once. Also, pressing the small button below the symbol this time will play one of a series of five sounds. It's essentially the three "reckless driving" sounds with an additional two sounds of him firing his weapons in between. [[You]] still have to fire the missile launcher manually, however.

: Pushing his trunk back into the vehicle will revert him back to his normal vehicle mode, playing the descending version of the transformation noise in the process.

: Finally, the two plastic covers of the sides of his [[packaging]] can be removed and used as a display stand, although they have no means of connecting together.

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multi-billion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

[[File:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life. ''(TakaraTomy version pictued)'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

:This pack has only been confirmed to have been released in the United Kingdom.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

:The head has also been retooled to reflect Bumblebee's 'battle mask' as seen in the Movie. The "mask" does not flip up to reveal his head. Bummer.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

===Screen Battles===
[[File:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

[[File:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set.

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Cyber Slammers|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

:A minor redeco and retool Cannon Bumblebee that replaces the head sculpt with the much smaller battle mask head previously used by Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

:Battlefield Bumblebee was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)#Infiltration|Soundwave]], named "Infiltration Soundwave".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

*'''Crash Landing Attack''' (Target exclusive 2-pack, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:A [[redeco]] of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe class Bumblebee, this version is fluorescent yellow and blue, possibly as an [[homage]] to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s colors in the old [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comics]] by [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] (due to the limited color palette [[Nelson Yomtov]] was working with). The car doors and hood feature a new deco of overlaid black and silver streaks, as well as a solid black stripe down the middle with a large silver Autobot symbol at the front. It is packaged with a redeco of [[Thrust (ROTF)|Thrust]].

:A redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee in a brighter yellow with dark pine green replacing the former toy's metallic teal. The windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

:Essentially a redeco of "Bombing Run Battle" Bumblebee (using the same shade of yellow plastic) but using the head of the [[#VsSoundwave|Battlefield Bumblebee]]. All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

*'''Battle Ops Bumblebee''' (2010)

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. He comes with two "Great Value" toys: an unchanged Legends-Class [[Mudflap (ROTF)#BattleOpsCostco|Mudflap]] figure and a "Premium" vacuum-metallized gold redeco of Bumblebee's own ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-Class figure.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse]] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is an all-new mold that takes basic design cues from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Bumblebee, but generally improves upon them by being more accurate in robot mode. His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colors, while the other Bumblebee is a paint-heavy redeco of Bolt Bumblebee (see below), partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:The Bumblebees come packed with a [[retool]] of [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of ''Legends of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand. The other stock photo (see the image to the right), which depicts a pre-production sample, does show the retooled hand, but has the weapon's handle plugged into a conveniently fitting slot on his ''other'' arm for whatever reason.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as Cyberverse products.

:Part of the second wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, (Bolt) Bumblebee is a retool of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee with a new right hand that enables him to hold Cyberverse accessories and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:Whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of his packaging (which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]]) correctly show him with only a Cyberverse-compatible right hand and an unchanged left hand, the other set of stock photos (which feature a pre-production sample) depicts him with ''two'' retooled hands. Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 015'''

:Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] redeco of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold. His deco consists of the first two-thirds of his vehicle being cast in black, with painted yellow stripes on the hood and sides, and the rear third of his vehicle being an unpainted metallic yellow, giving the appearance of the stripes extending out from the back. His headlights and most of his windshields are painted a metallic blue, his crotch is painted silver, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:The yellow paint operations on the black plastic parts and the shade of yellow used for the unpainted yellow plastic parts clash so much that even [[Ben Yee]], who is usually ''very'' generous with his toy reviews, rated this redeco as sub-par.<ref name="stealthyee">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/dotm/legion/bumblebee-black/ BWTF review of ''Cyberverse'' Legion Class "Black" Bumblebee]</ref>

: Commemorating a hilarious and probably very expensive moment of stupidity on the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' set wherein a [[Wikipedia: Metropolitan Police Department|Metropolitan Police Department]] SUV was hit by a Bumblebee stunt car during filming, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of his Action Set toy (which uses his first ''Dark of the Moon'' Legion-Class figure) and is painted to hilariously have damage in the front of his vehicle mode. His [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|Mobile Battle Bunker]] has been redecoed to be gray and had the jetpack slightly retooled.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels.

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

:A redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe-class Bumblebee, he is now black with yellow detailing and features electricity patterns on his car body. His clear parts are now a reddish orange. His blaster is unchanged.

:Interestingly, while his [[package art]] correctly depicts his deco applied to his body, (complete with his evil-looking red-orange eyes) the deco seems to be incorrectly applied to his ''Nitro Bumblebee'' head.

:His evil look makes him frequently called by fans as Murderbee.

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro 2012 Transformers Special Edition''' (2011)

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
* [[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee toy.

Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

[[File:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

[[File:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Bolt

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Cyber Slammers|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[size class|price point]]).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

: This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Saitama Prime]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

:A minor redeco and retool Cannon Bumblebee that replaces the head sculpt with the much smaller battle mask head previously used by Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

:Battlefield Bumblebee was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)#Infiltration|Soundwave]], named "Infiltration Soundwave".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick.

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:A [[redeco]] of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe class Bumblebee, this version is fluorescent yellow and blue, possibly as an [[homage]] to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s colors in the old [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comics]] by [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] (due to the limited color palette [[Nelson Yomtov]] was working with). The car doors and hood feature a new deco of overlaid black and silver streaks, as well as a solid black stripe down the middle with a large silver Autobot symbol at the front. It is packaged with a redeco of [[Thrust (ROTF)|Thrust]].

:A redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee in a brighter yellow with dark pine green replacing the former toy's metallic teal. The windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

:Essentially a redeco of "Bombing Run Battle" Bumblebee (using the same shade of yellow plastic) but using the head of the [[#VsSoundwave|Battlefield Bumblebee]]. All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

*'''Battle Ops Bumblebee''' (2010)

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. He comes with two "Great Value" toys: an unchanged Legends-Class [[Mudflap (ROTF)#BattleOpsCostco|Mudflap]] figure and a "Premium" vacuum-metallized gold redeco of Bumblebee's own ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-Class figure.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV08'''

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse]] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is an all-new mold that takes basic design cues from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Bumblebee, but generally improves upon them by being more accurate in robot mode. His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colors, while the other Bumblebee is a paint-heavy redeco of Bolt Bumblebee (see below), partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:The Bumblebees come packed with a [[retool]] of [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of ''Legends of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand. The other stock photo (see the image to the right), which depicts a pre-production sample, does show the retooled hand, but has the weapon's handle plugged into a conveniently fitting slot on his ''other'' arm for whatever reason.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as Cyberverse products.

:Part of the second wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, (Bolt) Bumblebee is a retool of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee with a new right hand that enables him to hold Cyberverse accessories and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:Whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of his packaging (which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]]) correctly show him with only a Cyberverse-compatible right hand and an unchanged left hand, the other set of stock photos (which feature a pre-production sample) depicts him with ''two'' retooled hands. Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 015'''

:Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] redeco of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold. His deco consists of the first two-thirds of his vehicle being cast in black, with painted yellow stripes on the hood and sides, and the rear third of his vehicle being an unpainted metallic yellow, giving the appearance of the stripes extending out from the back. His headlights and most of his windshields are painted a metallic blue, his crotch is painted silver, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:The yellow paint operations on the black plastic parts and the shade of yellow used for the unpainted yellow plastic parts clash so much that even [[Ben Yee]], who is usually ''very'' generous with his toy reviews, rated this redeco as sub-par.<ref name="stealthyee">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/dotm/legion/bumblebee-black/ BWTF review of ''Cyberverse'' Legion Class "Black" Bumblebee]</ref>

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

(司令、さすがっす!) said in a flippant kinda way. This line was given as one of Bumblebee's catchphrases in his profile for the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
* [[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

[[File:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life. ''(TakaraTomy version pictued)'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Bolt

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Cyber Slammers|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[size class|price point]]).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

: This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Saitama Prime]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

:A minor redeco and retool Cannon Bumblebee that replaces the head sculpt with the much smaller battle mask head previously used by Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2009)

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Robot Replicas|Robot Replica]] Bumblebee is an all-new sculpt with (arguably) better proportions and more sculpted detail than ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee. ("Arguably" because he has a tiny head.) Unlike ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee, he comes with a permanent cannon arm without a replacement hand arm. His [[license plate]] is also considerably smaller than that of ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee and features no detail aside from a red line evocative of a California license plate.

:Bizarrely, his chest still features detail from the front end of ''Movie'' Bumblebee's Concept (standard model) Camaro [[alternate mode]] (notably the fog lights) as compared to the ZL1 model's front end used for most ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee toys.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B. Blackrock|"Black Rock"]], [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|"Maccadam's"]], [[:File:Dinobots symbol.png|the Beast Machines Dinobots Symbol]], and the number [[1984|84]], all in addition to his live-action movie Autobot insignia.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

:Exclusive to [[Kmart]] stores in the USA (and to [[Canadian Tire]] stores in Canada), the Autobot Daredevil Squad Bumblebee is another redeco of Cannon Bumblebee as part of, for some reason, the [[Human Alliance]] play pattern. The packaging puts emphasis on Backfire's "handheld cannon" mode, which this particular Bumblebee isn't really designed to hold.

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Arcee (Movie)#Cyberglyph|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), he comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee]]''.

: He was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD27'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

:An unchanged version of the Bumblebee figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color.

:Most promotional images, except the ones from Takara, featuring this figure (like the one at right) have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chat correctly.

:The mold was later redecoed as [[Stinger_(AOE)#Movie_Advanced_Series|Movie Advanced Series Stinger]].

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Voyager, 2014)
**''Japanese ID number:'' AD08

: A toy exclusive to Takara's 'Movie Advanced' line, this Bumblebee is a redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers (2010)'']] Battle Blade Bumblebee. Unlike the Masterpiece Movie Bumblebee, this toy has metallic yellow paint on yellow plastic...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.

====Leader Class====
[[File:AoE leader Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|To save some money, Bumblebee decides to change his paint job in his previous body.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Leader Class, 2014)
:Leader Class Bumblebee is a slight redeco of the Leader Class toy from ''Dark of the Moon'', sans MechTech weaponry. He shipped in solid cases, not part of the regular ''Age of Extinction'' Leader assortment.

:While Bumblebee was available at general retail in Singapore and Australia, he was a store [[exclusive]] in other markets such as the United States (at [[Costco]]), the United Kingdom (at [[Smyths]]), Canada (shared exclusive between Costco and Canadian Tire stores) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

==Q-Transformers==
[[File:QTransformers Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2014)
**''ID number:'' '''QT-02E'''

:''[[Q-Transformers]]'' Bumblebee transforms from a [[super deformed]] 2014 Camaro Concept to a cute little robot. This version was sold as an exclusive at Transformers Expo months before the proper release of the toyline.

:His right arm is sculpted in cannon mode making him the only figure in the line thus far with any sort of weaponry.

*'''Bumblebee''' ([[December 26|12-26]]-2014)
**''ID number:'' '''QT-02'''

:The mass retail release of ''Q-Transformers'' Bumblebee is cast in a more orange shade of yellow than the Transformers Expo exclusive version.

[[File:QTransformers QT24 Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ([[July 25|7-25]]-2015, [[January 30|1-30]]-2016)
**''ID numbers:'' '''QT-24''', '''QTF-02'''

:This Bumblebee is a new mold that matches the character's more cartoony and simplified appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon. To distinguish it from the previous toy it's released under the name "Bumblebee (Shirei, sasugassu!)", adding to his name a phrase translating to "As expected of the commander!" (司令、さすがっす!) said in a flippant kinda way. This line was given as one of Bumblebee's catchphrases in his profile for the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

:This toy was re-released with a new ID number as part of the second ''Q-Transformers'' series.

{{-}}
*'''Q-Transformers Protagonists 3-Figure Set''' (1-30-2016)
**''ID number:'' '''QTFS-01 '''

:The second Bumblebee toy was also sold in a three-pack with fellow cartoon main characters [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|Optimus Prime]] and [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Q-Transformers|Lockdown]]. They come with a cardboard backdrop to be displayed on that depicts a typical service area of a Japanese expressway, much like the real locations the characters stand around in in the cartoon.

[[File:ChevyCamaroTransformersSpecialEdition.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Product does not convert."]]
*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Shia LaBeouf sold seperately"]]
*'''Chevrolet Camaro 2012 Transformers Special Edition''' (2011)

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
* [[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.

== GoBots 2015 ==
Hey guess what - people are using AVP to try to settle this internet score too. What a shock, I know, right? Multiple wiki editors said the scores of new one-sentence-one-source GoBot articles should all be made into a single list, read commentary here:
http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/101932-tfwikinet-thread-30/page-96

Before very many more one-sentence-one-source articles get installed, I think we should at least have some discussion here. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 13:38, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:I say make an exception and do a full coverage on Gobots.--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 13:48, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

:Completely sold on combo pages by Tindalos: we already do include Related Characters on pages like [[Susan Hoffman]], [[Collins (Movie)]]. We could easily do a Guardians#Minor Guardians and Renegades#Minor Renegades for people who haven't got enough to them. (Like, Cop-Tur and Zero gets a lot said about them but Fly Trap does not) Groups like Puzzler could be all stuffed under the Puzzler page. (The Axiom Nexus Renegades, I'd cheat and say keep them on their own pages since ''these'' are meant to be Transformers in-universe.) --[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 18:49, 18 October 2015 (GMT)

:Most of the Gobots described by RR are getting more than one note name mentions. History, alt-modes, personality, the works. I wouldn't just conglomerate them all together. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 13:59, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:However, I wouldn't be opposed to consolidating articles like Puzzler, since he's practically a drone, and the Dread Launchers and Secret Riders, since all of them share history. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 14:07, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::I think making a list page is better than having numerous pages with short texts.--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 14:15, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::If we don't do them all, combining Puzzler, Launchers,and Riders is a good idea anyway.[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 19:18, 18 October 2015 (GMT)

:Proof-of-concept page for if we want to list 'em up: put it under fiction (so that's easier to find), put the main Gobotron and the in-universe TFs up top, and stick the details of the minors under that. tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Renegade&oldid=1016174 [[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 19:20, 18 October 2015 (GMT)
::I've been doing most of the Renegade write-ups and most of them seem to be more than just name drops. Generally we get a name, a personality, an alt mode, and often an adventure. That's easily enough for an article. For the exceptions, like Puzzler, a single overarching page isn't a bad idea, but maybe not a necessary idea. The information on the Guardians is much more sparse, and having big lists for most of them could probably work. I haven't been writing them up due to how little there is on most of them.
::I am not sure where the idea comes from that having eighty small articles is a bad thing, though. The Wiki has always erred on the side of inclusiveness, which leads to pages like [[Spike's booty call]] and [[Moe]] and [[DeForest High]], things which are also one or two line articles about people and concepts that only appear in one source. I'm not sure why this is any different. If anything, there's way more interest in the GoBot material, as evidenced by how many people are asking questions about the Renegades and how many likes and shares those pages are getting.
::I'm also seeing, both in this thread and in the thread linked to, lots of interest in wikiing up the entire "Challenge of the Gobots" cartoon. McFeely, Khajidha, Saix, Sorenson, originally, and now Primestar and Gearshift all seem to be in favor. On the other side, Walky, M Sipher, Thylacine. It seems odd to me that, with the momentum apparently leaning 2:1 towards documenting all of "Challenge of the Gobots", we're talking about curtailing the bits and bobs that are definitely for sure Transformers canon. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 15:49, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::Logistical question: Do enough people have the GoBots DVD (or, cough, other sources) to write them up? (We ''are'' still lagging in fleshed out UT character pages, after all, and I think more people own those shows). -- [[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 19:20, 18 October 2015 (GMT)
::::Well, episodes are on the internet.--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 16:01, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::Episodes aren't licensed by Hasbro, so we cannot write them up and place them here. Ever.
:::::Giggidy: this is different from the silly jokes you refer to because at least those jokes are contained within licensed Transformers material. The GoBots AS PEOPLE REMEMBER THEM - the cartoons, characters, and toys - were never released under a Hasbro license, except for a tiny minority of exceptions in text stories. Even IF we settled for allowing independent articles for everything AVP said, it could never, ever contain any material more than that, because Hasbro didn't publish it and doesn't own it.
:::::All in all I am extremely disappointed by the... I guess, poor sportsmanship, pettiness, and entitlement... of the pro-inclusion side. This has been rehashed and reargued and relitigated year after year after year after year with very clear reasons why they do not belong, and for some reason people think none of that matters because GoBots were just cool! Well, Samhain and the Bogey Man from the DIC Ghostbusters cartoon were just cool and we've got the Ghostbusters in here as an in-joke, but we don't freaking add in Samhain the demon from a DIC cartoon through overeager bootstrapping. We also don't add in the very awesome and well-loved Dark Phoenix by extrapolation just because the Allspark Almanac mentioned an M'kraan Crystal.
:::::The MOST that could EVER be included about any of these GoBots is the stuff AVP writes, because at least that IS put out by Hasbro. I and quite a few others think that even that much material isn't much at all and since it's coming in a rapidfire slew for a lot of characters I think a list format collection is worth discussing. If a lot of people really really really disagree, then I could rationally grasp the argument that through the loophole that has been cheated into existence they have grounds on which to disagree and the articles containing the AVP material could hypothetically each stand on their own. But that's ALL that can go there. Only AVP. No cartoon, nothing else. And even that should not be taken for granted by the pro-inclusion side. They really have to sell their case, because from here it's STILL way too heavily predicated upon "oh-come-ON!"-ism. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 16:18, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::This isn't about winning arguments from years ago-most of us weren't even signed up when the AAII came out and everybody got into a whole mess over that. Many of us honestly think that documenting the series is something that we should do and within the jurisdiction. You can disagree with putting it up on the wiki, but don't just throw about terms like "pettiness" and "entitlement" cause you don't like the opposing sides argument or the fiction causing it in the first place. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 16:46, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::I would suggest Hasbro's ownership or non-ownership is irrelevant. We document many things not owned by Hasbro but merely associated with them, including the entire Japanese franchise (owned by TakaraTomy) and the entire film franchise (owned and copyrighted by Paramount, with only the Transformers elements used under license from Hasbro). --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 16:50, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::Ownership by TakTom is just as legitimate as ownership by Hasbro, and licensing is just as legitimate as ownership. Things that are neither owned nor licensed by a company that actually produces real Transformers, such as a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, are not legitimate for inclusion. Otherwise we'll be throwing in fanfic and third-party toys and Family Guy episodes with TF "appearances." --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 17:04, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::There is a possible justification for their inclusion that would still bar those other things. We could decide that having had the GoBots declared to actually be TFs in a multiversal sense means that any material that was officially produced about them is now open for inclusion (the fact that it was officially produced under the auspices of Tonka would be a mere detail). This would not open the floodgates for fanfic, 3rd party materials or Family Guy. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 17:47, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::That concept has been decided-''against'', here, many times. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 18:19, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::::Saying that we've voted against something in the past is not a strong argument for why we should vote against it now. Things change, the population of editors change, our understanding of the material changes. Gay marriage was illegal, now it's legal. I'm not saying you're stomping on my civil liberties, but you really need a more compelling argument than "we've said no before." Besides, you're the one who jumpstarted this conversation.
:::::::::::My point with Paramount was that there are elements that we document fully that aren't owned by Hasbro. They're owned by another corporation, and are used adjacent to Hasbro material. Hasbro doesn't own, say, Seymour Simmons. Paramount does. But we document him because he's a Transformers character. Likewise, Hasbro doesn't own some elements of Challenge of the Gobots, Hanna-Barbara does. But Kenner did license certain elements to Hanna-Barbara to make the GoBots cartoon, and Kenner is now Hasbro. Effectively it's the same situation legally. We do the same thing with other crossovers, like [[DreamMix TV World Fighters]] or the [[Avengers]] book.
:::::::::::And even if it wasn't, our decisions about what's in scope and what isn't is just that, our decision. It's reached by consensus, after reasoned debate. If the consensus is that Gobots is close enough, passes the squint test, we certainly could choose to include it. You're acting as if your statments are akin to "it's obvious that water is wet", a fact, when in fact they're closer to "marriage has always been defined as being between a man and a woman," a social convention. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 18:35, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::I just saw this in the morass of text, and '''''fuck you''''' for equating "not including GoBots cartoon" with "ban gay marriage". REALLY tempted to drop a ban on you right now for that little act of vileness. Holy fucking shit. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 18:53, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::I am not purporting to cite stone tablets from a thousand years ago - I am referring back to ''the conversation FOUR MONTHS AGO directly above this one.'' Your reference to DreamMix proves my point perfectly: we include things that had an official Transformers creator stamp at time of publication, like Simon Belmondo, and NOT ancillary same-universe stuff that DID NOT, like Sypha Belnades. Ditto for Avenger characters that never had the stamp like the Brothers Grimm or whatever. We don't get to enjoy our way past the clear concept of who really owned and licensed what and when. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 18:55, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::So we've got the two positions:
::::::::::::a) GoBots the cartoon is not Hasbro licensed or involved in any way; we should only properly cover GB stuff in Hasbro-approved stuff like Fun Publications, AVP, comic homages etc
::::::::::::b) Approved stuff has now made so many GoBots nods and explicit references to the show (all the way back [[Games of Deception|to 2007]] and almost [[G1_GoBots|2004]]) that this is no longer a big jump but a natural thing to do.
::::::::::::without much budging. We could put it up to an editor vote? --[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 18:49, 18 October 2015 (GMT)
::::::::::::It might be a bit off topic, but are you sure about Simmons? Hasbro put out a Human Alliance toy with Agent Simmons. I don't have the box and didn't read all the fine print, but the front of the box has "Agent Simmons™" next to a Hasbro logo. One movieverse character that might be wholly affiliated with paramount and not Hasbro might be [[Bendy-Bus Prime]]. - [[User:Gimmick|Gimmick]] ([[User talk:Gimmick|talk]]) 19:00, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::::::We include stuff that includes Transformers even without an official Transformers stamp, like [[Unfoldings!]]. And the conversation four months ago looks like it was 4 in favor, 3 against, so it's not really a great argument for you. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 19:10, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::::::::How in the world can you imagine an issue of the GIJoe comic starring Transformers to NOT BE official licensed product? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 19:24, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::::::I didn't say that it wasn't licensed. I said it didn't have a Transformers stamp. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 19:39, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::::::::Also by my count of the last conversation it was 2 in favor, 4 against, 1 seemingly not strongly decided, and 1 recusal due to professional conflict of interest. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 19:50, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::::::My count: McFeely, Khajidha, Saix, Sorenson, for, Walky, M Sipher, Thylacine against. Sorenson's position was clear. And M Sipher also worked professional on GoBots, so if we're discounting Sorenson, we should probably discount Sipher as well. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 20:22, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::::Unfoldings is Hasbro-stamped though, and we don't describe much of the Joe plot.
::::::::::::::Either way, if it was that close a call last time, should we just aye or nay it?--[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 00:14, 19 October 2015 (GMT)
:::::::::::::::It's been like four hours. This is a big decision and should have at least 2-3 days debate. Honestly, I haven't even decided how I feel, I just think Thy's arguments are pretty weak. That doesn't mean there aren't some strong ones. Let's not go calling for votes just yet. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 19:18, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
::::::::::::[[Help:Official info]]: the first sentence under "What constitutes official information?" seems relevant here. There is no way anything included in the movies is anything less than relevant to this wiki. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:26, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
'''"Simply put, anything coming either directly or indirectly from Hasbro and/or TakaraTomy, or from other official parties such as (currently) IDW Publishing, Paramount Pictures, Fun Publications or other companies officially involved with the Transformers brand."'''
:::::::::::::Right. And since Kenner is wholly owned by Hasbro, then despite being owned by Hanna-Barbara, GoBots was (retroactively) coming directly from Hasbro as much as the movies are. Then the only question becomes is GoBots a Transformers subline.

We have recorded the entirety of Transformers fiction covering their subject on one page, and that fiction is very sparse, but it is accurate, and faithful to the wiki's mission of documenting information. Beyond that though, I'd say I'd vote against merging in information about non-Hasbro/Takara/whatevs owned properties into the articles, such as the Go-Bots cartoon.

===Call for Vote===

It's been a week since this last came up and I know there are people still pissed that GoBots stuff is added at all, so can we pull the pin and decide? We all know the arguments by now. Whether we should reduce most of the existing GoBot pages or leave them (this seems to be all they're getting now Renegade Rhetoric's ended) is an important but I think separate issue to: include GoBots fiction in its entirety on this wiki or do not include anything but what comes out under Hasbro material. <br>
At this point I've swung round to being against adding ''Challenge'' material; it should have its own wiki, which could be created tomorrow if people wanted. --[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 01:19, 26 October 2015 (GMT)
:I vote for leaving the Go-Bot articles as we have them now. They're hardly "two-sentence articles" for the most part, and whether we personally like something or not hardly has bearing on its inclusion in the wiki. Lots of people hate [[The Beast Within]], but its here. And AVP has more people involved in its production, and more research put through it than that comic did. When there's going to be a Go-Bot's wiki, we'll link it in the articles like we do to other outside wikis. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 21:36, 25 October 2015 (EDT)

:::By the way, thanks to all the editors who have been working hard to keep all the Guardians and Renegades articles updated! It's a big help, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it greatly. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 21:44, 25 October 2015 (EDT)

I've been thinking on this and, despite the relatively weak arguments against including ''Challenge'' material, something about including it feels off to me. I think intellectually the case for inclusion is very strong, but I think emotionally it'd probably feel better somewhere else. I'd agree with Charles about voting on against full-on-wikifying ''Challenge''. I've also been one of several people writing-up the GoBots articles and I'd strenuously disagree with deleting them. There is plenty of information on even the scantiest of them, including at the minimum names, factions, actions taken. The wiki is replete with articles for less. In the case of virtually every Renegade, we get at least two adventures, personality, and alt modes. Some Guardians get similar treatment. A few characters have visuals. It'd be silly to torch them.

As I said, I've been thinking on this and I think there may be a compromise solution between the two extremes, one of a big list due to a relative paucity of material, the other of wikifying everything from ''Challenge.'' I propose we only wiki up what's actually been said about the characters in a Transformers medium... but, to give the articles a little more oomph, we add in a main picture from ''Challenge'' if (and only if) there is no official Transformers image available. We've in the past shown a willingness to use these images in the notes section, so we'd only be bumping them up to the top. The copyright shouldn't be an issue, Challenge of the Gobots sports a Tonka copyright, and Tonka is wholly owned by Hasbro. This way we're still limiting to the "facts" of Transformers, but the articles will look and feel a little more robust. Only one image per character, and then only if they haven't gotten an official illustration. Thoughts?--[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 21:45, 25 October 2015 (EDT)
:It is unacceptable to catalog "Challenge" here. It is not and never has been owned by a Transformers license-holder, and I can't fathom how this could be seen as a weak argument. Even if AVP made every GoBot article 20 pages long, the cartoon never had the stamp and so any form of systematic involvement should be out. If that means a whole slew of articles with no main images, then that is the price for creating so many individual articles instead of a list. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 21:55, 25 October 2015 (EDT)

I feel like everyone's forgetting that even before AVP came into play, we had images from COTG on the wiki-Cy-Kill, the E-Hobby pack, Doctor Braxis, all in the notes section. The ones that didn't, I think nobody just felt like adding them. Fracture had Crasher's image in her notes section, and Deadlift had Spoons. So, yes, as long as they're in the notes section, with the images having all the copyright information. they'll probably be fine.

As for the wiki, I feel like a great many of us would rather have a sister site than some ad-filled mess of a page. My computer can't even handle going on it for a full minute without making me restart it. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 22:02, 25 October 2015 (EDT)

::What Thy said. This is not fucking up for debate. All the AVP end-run wank isn't going to change the FACT that large swaths of the GoBots IP are NOT owned by Hasbro, including the cartoon and toys said cartoon was derived from, the latter being owned by a direct competitor to both TF-owning companies. Frankly, I'm not even sure what, if anything, Hasbro DOES own from that IP, given they haven't used an overtly-GoBots Trademark in what, a decade? At best they MIGHT still own the name "GoBots", and I mean "own" in the sense that "nobody's bothered to challenge it so far". --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 22:15, 25 October 2015 (EDT)
:::My two cents is that despite my personal wish for all GoBots information to go on tfwiki, I say that as long as this wiki's rules are based on ''Transformers'' information (Hasbro, Takara, etc.-only), then the non-Hasbro owned CotG cartoon and such doesn't go on this wiki. In addition for convenience of navigation for ''GoBots'' fans, a sister wiki for ''GoBots'' would help for finding strictly ''GoBots'' information. Also, if we were to put CotG on the wiki, then on principle would we have to add in ''Robotix'' and all the Cymond Cluster franchises (''Brave'', ''Zoids'', etc) because they're in the ''Transformers'' multiverse?
:::With regards to ''GoBots'' material in ''Transformers'' works ("Withered Hope", Renegade Rhetoric, the hopefully upcoming "Spatiotemporal Challenges", etc.), I say that it goes on the wiki because it was distributed through a ''Transformers'' medium. And gets individual articles as does ''G.I. Joe'' or anything like that. And given the influence of ''GoBots'' on ''Transformers'', I agree that we make the exception to use limited CotG screencaps as the main pictures for ''GoBots'' characters on the wiki since we've been doing that for years in notes sections.

No more "Challenge," no more coloring books, not even as Notes, let alone as main pics.'' If folks want to leave up the small handful of longstanding examples we've got, eh. But since there a very real distinction between GoBots IP that is allowed / available and that which is not, we should draw a firm line, stick with it, and prevent any further inclusion of material that doesn't pass the usual rules of ownership / licensing. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 19:03, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

I might've been in favour of it before, but I too have swung around to thinking the ''Challenge'' cartoon doesn't fall within our remit, as a piece of media that was not ever, and is still not, owned or licensed by a Transformers rights-holder. I'm not averse to using screencaps from the cartoon for pictures, though. I'd also say we can definitely merge the components of Puzzler and [[Monsterous]] into singular articles under the combiner names. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 06:49, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

Much of the story information that AVP revealed about the GoBots characters is straightforward recapitulation of episodes of CotG. Do we need/want to put a note to that effect on the character pages? If so, should it just be something general like "events are adapted from the CotG cartoon" or should we note the episode titles for the different events? Should/could we link to Counter-X's episode summaries? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 11:19, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

Not sure how much of a vote is actually happening here, but me and my seven years worth of contributions vote '''No''' to ''Challenge'' or further GoBots additions to the Wiki. I would remove or block any individual pages for GoBots characters due to AVP. I already think tongue-in-cheek reference pages like [[Harrison Ford]] and [[Indiana Jones]] are silly, and probably contributed to the all-inclusive mentality people are fighting against here.

Has/Tak only owns a small fragment of GoBots IP. This Wiki, like ''every Wiki and every fan website on the internet'', exists at the sufferance of the property's owners. So while there are in-universe, multiversal collaborations between Marvel and DC continuity, you'll notice they still retain separate Wikis. It doesn't matter how closely related Transformers and GoBots become in the fictional realities -- real world reality has to govern this site.

Personally, I like the way the Marvel Wiki deals with Transformers -- each issue of the Marvel Comic contains an issue summary and cast list of the Marvel story, but the individual links on that page leave the Marvel wiki and go to the Transformers wiki (albeit the wrong TF Wiki, but they ''are'' on wikia). There is no [[Bluestreak (G1)]] page on the Marvel Database, even though he appeared in a Marvel Comic...just a link to a Transformers wiki that can actually cover the character in-depth as he deserves.

My recommendation is to reduce all of Renegades Rhetoric to a single story page, chronicling the many adventures and details provided by Has/Tak owned Axiom Nexus's Cy-Kill in one place, with no individual Guardian or Renegade pages on this wiki. If and when a functional Gobots Wiki is created, link the characters and concepts to THAT wiki where they can be covered in full. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 11:50, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
:That tactic gets my vote. The "minor joke article" was a bit of harmless fun back when the franchise was much smaller, and we do '''''not''''' need to kowtow to it when something comes along to abuse the wiki's "system" to do something of dubious legal standing. (Really ought to look at how the GB page addresses Hasbro's "ownership" and elaborate.) For the quadzillionth time, our "rules" need to be flexible and typically ARE, but some people really just can't handle the idea of not treating everything with the same ironclad law at all times, no matter what affect it has on the overall wiki. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 14:41, 26 October 2015 (EDT)
::I vote against it. Ultimately passing the buck off to another wiki isn't my idea of being informative. Where others would do that, we work hard to cover as much as what falls within our realm to cover. (Which, as it happens, does NOT include the COTG cartoon) That's what makes us stand out, in terms of both content and quality, above many other wikis out there. And I don't even think the franchise was ever even that small. That was just an illusion created by the fact that a lot of it had gone on undocumented for a long time. People need to stop making this out like its some kind of personal attack against us. What's it gonna harm that there are a few pages out there like the Harrison Ford page article? Are people gonna flip out and swear never to use our wiki again if they stumble across it? Are we going to be sneered at and ridiculed by some internet aristocracy because our "credibility" will be in doubt or something? I doubt its eating up much space in terms of bandwith or whatever.

::::I wasn't actually advocating removing the Harrison Ford-style joke articles. (Not a fan of taking a whole article to say "Somebody mentioned [[Broadside (SG)]] once!", either.) Just pointing out pages like that contributed to the mind set of including articles for every person, place, or thing mentioned in Transformers fiction.

:::::I wasn't either. I'd have thought the intention was clear: that the allowing of "harmless fun" articles of small references from when the franchise was VASTLY smaller was now being intentionally abused as an end-run around something that was decided against long ago for being not-HasTak-owned/licensed, one of the few pretty concrete rules we do have, and a fundamental one at that. Therefore I have no compunctions about making an exception to the general guideline (which we often have to do anyway) and compacting the information to a minimal number of pages... especially given the dubious nature of Hasbro's "ownership" of the GoBots IP (among other IPs mentioned in certain sources). --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 18:32, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

Honestly, at this point, most-if not all-articles for the Gobots have been created. I really don't think it would hurt anyone to just leave them up. We can argue about all the IP ownership all we want, but as Ascendron already pointed out, we have other articles that don't exactly line up with Hasbro-owned stuff either-Hasbro certainly didn't shout at IDW for including Transformers in a Crossover that also involved a rival company (Playmates and Ninja Turtles).

I'd be okay with a separate wiki that we could just link to when GoBots came up. I mean, the GoBots franchise has been basically dead for thirty years outside of a few winks from Transformers (with the exception of the Cy-Kill thing that started this whole debate), so I don't think it'd ever get too out of hand.

But I respect many people's work ethic here, especially since we're all volunteering our time for the wiki. For the information itself, I get it that people are getting upset that information is being "snuck in" as a deliberate attempt to get it documented on the wiki. But if someone else got the job of getting to create fiction related to the Transformers brand, and used it as they saw fit, well I'm hardly in a position to debate that. They get to do stuff I never will, and as an adult, I have to concede to such defeats. Ultimately, it comes down to this: I believe that, for the most part, keeping the information on separate pages as they are currently is the best and most informative way to share it with whoever chooses to browse our wiki. (Some of the combiner components can be combined, as their importance relates wholly to the fact that they're components to a more important character).

Bottom line, GoBots shouldn't be treated any differently, and certainly not any ''better'', than G.I. Joe on this Wiki. The Joes are a fully owned Hasbro franchise with decades of interactive history with the Transformers brand, BUT...all the images of Snake Eyes or Cobra Commander on the TF Wiki are from TF stuff, not from the Sunbow cartoon that was not connected to ''Transformers''. No one is trying to explain [[Snake-Eyes]]' Vietnam origins in his Notes section, unlike the [[Doctor Braxis]] Notes section stuffed with COTG references. Because people understand that if you want to read about G.I. Joe, you go to a G.I. Joe website...which this isn't. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 13:02, 27 October 2015 (EDT)

====Vote Results====
It's been more than 24 hours with no movement one way or the other, and even then, the stuff from yesterday seems like rehashing old arguments. Is now a fair time to tally? The voting is complicated because there are multiple proposals on the table.

*Proposal: '''Complete cataloging of "''Challenge of the Gobots''"'''
**Supporters: Khajidha

*Proposal: '''Condensing all Ask Vector Prime GoBots pages down to just one or two master pages, probably ''Guardians'' and ''Renegades'' or ''Renegade Rhetoric'''''
**Supporters: Xaaron, M Sipher

*Proposal: '''Expand coverage of Ask Vector Prime GoBots to include "''Challenge of the Gobots''" screen captures'''
**Supporters: Giggidy, Chris McFeely, Escargon, Charles RB, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47, Khajidha, tentative Riptide

*Proposal: '''Expand coverage of Ask Vector Prime GoBots to include link to Counter-X website'''
**Supporters: Khajidha, Giggidy, Riptide, Saix

*Proposal: '''Treat Renegade Rhetoric like any other source, no condensation but also no expansion such as screen captures'''
**Supporters: Thylacine 2000

*Proposal: '''Pics from outside media goes in the notes section on character pages. Some Go-Bots pics can go there, otherwise wait until Transformers media includes original art of these characters.'''
**Supporters: Ascendron

I ''think'' I got everyone's position represented. Grum, I'm not really sure which camp you fell into. Regardless, it's clear that there's a solid majority in favor of documenting everything from Ask Vector Prime fully, with exceptions when it's sensible to do so such as with Puzzler and Monsterous. The good news is that this is exactly the current state of the wiki. No further action is required. Though it's ironic and a little sad that it took so much acrimony and name calling to get to the point of doing nothing different than we are now.

I'm less confident declaring victory on the screen capture question. M Sipher, Thylacine 2000, and Xaaron have all made their position against clear, as have the five supporters. I'd be curious to hear from <s>Khajidha, Ascendron, and</s> Grum on that issue before we go expanding them.

I suppose I can justify it to myself, as their inclusion would do more good than harm as far as how informative they would make the articles... Let's just not go overboard with it?

So if the only issue actually up for decision now is whether to include COTG screenshots, then I firmly vote against that, and see it as sufficiently against our rules of documenting official HasTak material that I'm not entirely sure a vote is even appropriate. We agree on AVP - well AVP itself says COTG screenshots aren't HasTak property and couldn't be used, hence why they themselves took down the first Cy-Kill picture. I think people should be satisfied with what they got. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 18:49, 28 October 2015 (EDT)

:::::::::My initial suggestion of just putting a picture in the note section is still out there, by the way. I kinda dropped it because no one really seemed on board... But I figured if we have the leeway to put up pics outside of Transformers fiction there, like we did for the [[Beast (G1)|Beast]], and for that matter, [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-kill]], we could just do the same for all the Go-Bots characters. I know it's kinda seem like a silly game of working our way through loopholes, but it still is what I would personally prefer... Best of both worlds kind of thing. We still get a visual representation of the character in the article itself, most articles are short enough that the picture would be apparent immediately, but we'd still be sticking to our policy of only using official pictures in the body of the article. The picture is there as an aside, an addition to a note of "by the way, this guy is from this cartoon not owned by Hasbro." Like, look at the [[Night Ranger]] article. That's a great article right there! All the Go-Bots articles should be formatted like that. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 16:21, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

Ugly, maybe, but I'd rather have an article that is "unsightly" than uninformative or goes against the wiki's rules.)

Just to note here, with all the comparisons being made to our handling of ''G.I. Joe'', we've ''always'' treated the Joes with more leeway than we have, say, Spider-Man or Godzilla. A ''lot'' of our Joe articles include real names and factoids taken from filecards and such, and yes, even in one isolated instance a piece of art that's not from a TF source, because there was no point to the "wilful ignorance" gag, since it wasn't ''funny'' - everyone knows who Spider-Man and Godzilla are, but nobody knows who [[Sci-Fi|Seymour P. Fine]] is. There's no need for such wilful ignorance on Go-Bots either, given how repeatedly tied-in to Transformers it has become - it's not a [[Simon Belmondo]] or a [[Solid Snake]], it's as much part of the Transformers "family" now as Joe is, even if its situation is a bit thornier. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 17:47, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

With no activity on this page for 3 days, I think we can comfortably assess the results. It looks like the vote was better than 2:1 in favor of including Challenge of the GoBots screen captures on the pages, but a healthy caution against overuse. One and only one image per page, and only when official images are not available.

I've also done some homework into the copyright status and it would appear that Warner Bros. is still acknowledging Hasbro's copyright claim. Each '''Challenge of the Gobots''' box set and disk is marked with text to the effect of "GOBOTS and all related characters and elements are trademarks of and (C) [[Hasbro]] Inc." The only thing Hanna-Barbera lays claim to is the actual compilation of the DVDs, and even that is in conjunction with Hasbro: "Program Compilation (C) Hanna-Barbera and Hasbro Inc." The DVD packaging, however, is off-limits. "Package Design (C) Hanna-Barbera and and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc." The episodes themselves give copyright exclusively to [[Tonka]]. Hopefully this reassures some of Xaaron's concerns, which seemed more legal than philosophical. There are links to photos of the copyright notices on my user page. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 01:42, 3 November 2015 (EST)

If the character and animation likenesses are off-limits even to AVP in the last few days, that should give pause. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 07:05, 3 November 2015 (EST)

====Vote Results again for reals maybe? Focus only on Screencapture====

*Proposal: '''No Screen Captures'''
**Supporters: Xaaron, M Sipher, Thylacine 2000, Repowers, ItsWalky, Nevermore, Chris McFeely, Ascendron

*Proposal: '''Expand coverage of Ask Vector Prime GoBots to include '''limited''' "''Challenge of the Gobots''" screen captures, either in notes or main page'''
**Supporters: Giggidy, Escargon, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47, Khajidha, Saix

*Proposal: '''Screen captures on a case by case basis'''
**Supporters: Abates, Charles RB, Riptide

This is where the current vote stands focusing entirely on the issue of screen captures. Repowers, I took the liberty of adding you to the no column. Please feel free to remove if you like. Thylacine 2000, I respect your passion but there is a difference between "my argument convinced one guy to change his proposal from screen captures in every main page section to screen captures in every notes sections" to "my argument is so good I've picked up supporters in droves."

Not sure what you're talking about with Escargon. But, to do due diligence, I'll follow up with all three. And I am not, and have not, and hopefully will not attack your character in any way.

Point of order: since the inclusion of ''COTG'' screenshots is still a potential legal issue, and one of the votes in the '''No''' column is from [[User:ItsWalky|the guy who owns the Wiki]], is a democratic vote really the proper resolution for this matter? --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 10:37, 3 November 2015 (EST)
:Again, the DVDs (photos on my user page) recently released and still being distributed by Warner Bros. give copyright of everything Gobots to Hasbro, and gives the "program compilation" a shared copyright between Hasbro and Hanna-Barbera.

::I think the fact that AVP was not able to use screen caps from Challenge of the GoBots trumps any copyright notices on the DVD box sets, however in this case I don't think it's relevant to this Wiki being able to use them in the notes section of articles. We're talking about a bunch of articles about characters with very little fiction and no visual representation, so the question becomes a matter of "will including screencaps really make much of a difference to the information they contain?" I think screencaps make sense where a GoBots character has a visual representation like [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] and we want to compare what they looked like in GoBots fiction to what they looked like in Transformers fiction, but not so much where the character has no Transformers representation to begin with. In this case I think it's more effective to just include a link to a GoBots site which would give more information about the GoBots character as well as visual representation. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:04, 3 November 2015 (EST)

The "slippery slope" argument is winning me over. I'm still in favour of ''limited'' screencaps: the ones acknowledged by AVP, the model sheets and such for key people like Bug Bite, the original Cy-Kill profile (even if we scrap the rest I'd argue for this to come in under the same reason Cobra Commander's got that kick-the-dog one, i.e. it looks better). We're likely at the limits of limited already though. Who else could we reasonably add? --[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 20:26, 3 November 2015 (GMT)
:My suggestion would be screencaps, at a maximum of one per page, for 1) those characters with major enough appearance in Transformers fiction (e.g. the e-Hobby GoBots and Cy-Kill, probably a few others), and 2) those with visuals acknowledged by Ask Vector Prime. Otherwise, links are fine. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 16:02, 3 November 2015 (EST)

Another three days with no activity, and I'm big enough to acknowledge that the momentum has shifted. I count 8 against screen captures, 5 in favor, and 3 in favor of limited. Basically a tie, and I think ties need to go to the more conservative, i.e. not my, position. As with article creation, the screen capture issue seems to go to no change from our current policy. A long and and acrimonious road to get to the point of no change. I apologize if my arguments along the way caused offense.

I was not gonna bother with it, but then decided of anyone might recognize it as an actual character, and not just some generic critter. Mainly because, this is the AllSpark Almanac, and it has homages and Easter Eggs out the wazoo. If no one can think of anything though, I'll just assume it's a generic that's not noteworthy. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 16:43, 18 August 2015 (EDT)</s>

==Apocrypha and Vector Prime==
There have been a few parallel discussions about apocryphal works. [[Alignment]], [[Doomsday Redux!]], [[Bumblebee at Tyger Pax]]. User Grum went ahead and removed the Apocrypha template from Bumblebee at Tyger Pax, prompting a short discussion. I put forth the question on Doomsday Redux!, and by extension on the other unreleased Energon comics that scripts are available for, and got little response. Alignment had quite a robust debate when the AllSpark Almanac came out, but not much since then. All three have been declared to have happened by Vector Prime, and in their primary universes as opposed to in some splinter timeline. Is there value to keeping the Apocrypha template, versus just having a note detailing the unusual circumstance of the publication? It seems like something that should get a greater discussion than it's getting. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 00:05, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

So I've noticed that there's been some disagreements on how to organize articles such as, say, Spychanger Prime or Balancing Act Prime.

== Timelines fiction release order links ==

I have noticed that where it is so, a ''Timelines'' story's primary previous or next story arrow points to the BotCon comic if it has the closest release date. However, the primary previous and next story arrows on BotCon comics' pages always point to other BotCon comics because they actually have a "Volume" order to go with. It seems inappropriate to me a story point to another which is not also linked to it. So what do we do, for instance, with "[[Burning Bridges]]", the first non-Facebook ''Timelines'' story to come out after BotCon 2015's "[[Cybertron's Most Wanted]]" and "[[The Return of Blurr]]"?

== Harmonic resonance ==

So throughout [[Ask Vector Prime]], the theme of "trans-dimensional harmonic resonance"/"quantum harmonic resonance" has come up as an in-universe explanation for most commonly used characters (i.e. the franchise tropes of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Grimlock, etc.), design re-use across continuity families (i.e. pre-Transformer toys which got recycled as Transformers toys), mistaken use of story elements which seemingly don't belong (i.e. ''Armada'' Beast Wars in "[[Fire in the Dark]]"), other things (i.e. RiD Unicron as a seemingly mundane Transformer who (not) coincidentally became a universe-destroying planet), etc. Do we want to make a page(s) about this and how should we handle it?

== Repurposing vs Multi-family toys ==
Over on the discussion about [[Talk:Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]], M Sipher raised an excellent point about how silly it is to not have the Clampdown [[Kreon]] on the Clampdown [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] page. This dovetailed nicely with my own musings on the subject. Right now, technically, the way the wiki is organized if we wanted to have that toy on two pages we'd have to arbitrarily declare one Clampdown to be a [[repurposing]] of the other, which I find to be ridiculous. I had a discussion on one of the talk pages about removing the repurposing label from toys that were simply imported from one continuity family to another, only to be shot down.

As a compromise position, I've worked up a related idea: "multi-family toys". That is to say, a toy that seems to exist more-or-less unchanged across multiple families. This seems like a distinct idea from a straight-up repurpose. To me, at least, there seems to be a fundamental difference from someone like [[Dirge (Armada)|Armada Dirge]], which is a brand-new character based on a toy with a different name and bio, to someone like [[Lockdown (G1)|IDW's Lockdown]]. Furthermore, [[Ask Vector Prime]] has formalized the idea that Hasbro's been running with, namely that a character can comfortably exist across multiple [[continuity family|continuity families]] and that this is no big deal.

This is my go at introducing the idea: [[User:Giggidy/Sandbox/Multi-Family Toys]]. Any feedback would be appreciated. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 16:34, 25 October 2015 (EDT)

So I noticed the pages for [[2007]] and [[2012]] are formatted VERY differently from any other Years' pages, being built out of subpages. As a result, the parent page ends up taking on any categories its subpages are tagged with even if they're not really applicable to the larger page (Toys, Media, Games, etc.), plus it creates an inconsistency with the rest of the Year articles.

== Why is Glyph not credited in the Character Roster list for the G1 episode 'Five Faces of Darkness part 4'? ==

She is an official retcon, no different than a bunch of other Botcon retcon characters (eg. Ion Storm), or 'Acid Storm' who was retconned by another official means.

Was her exclusion from the Character Roster done on purpose, or simply forgotten and needs updating?

Update: I've made a change to include Glyph on the 'Five Faces of Darkness part 4' Character Roster...but I do not have the information as to when she appeared, in relation to all the other characters.

== Italics in headers for toy sections ==

I've noticed that most pages' toy sections don't italicize the toyline section name, but some do. Examples: in my memory, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys]] and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys]] have never italicized their toyline name headers but the [[Brawn (G1)]] page currently does.

== Proposal: Temporary Moratorium on AVP ==
After GoBots, after Ulchtar, I think we have decidedly reached a point where the act of editing the wiki according to the latest "official" information is getting in the way of wiki informativeness and quality standards. To be frank, the privilege of creating canonical material has been perverted for the sole purpose of changing this website. I propose a two-week cessation on adding any material to this site that appears on AVP or any of its upcoming iterations. I would like to see what discussions we have here, and how the pages are modified, when we're not lurching to the organ grinder's tune.

If people think this suggestion is totally out of line, by all means say so. If they agree, please say so as well. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 18:01, 30 November 2015 (EST)

== Notes and whitespace issue ==

A while back I put up some notes in several characters' pages, in order to include a link to the ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'''s adaptations within those pages' fiction sections. Unfortunately, it didn't work out quite as well as I wanted. Unlike the Live-action film series, where a similar note would always come up at the end of a section's write-up, the note came right in the middle of the section for many Generation 1 characters. On top of that, because of how some images were included in the section write-ups, several characters got large amounts of white-space in their section write-ups to accommodate the note.

At the time, I had heard that there was a piece of code that could fix the white-space issue, but I've been looking for a while and found nothing. (The closest I got to any sort of result with was: '''<nowiki><div class="floatright">Text on the right</div></nowiki>''' but that didn't solve much either.)

I'd still very much like to keep the links to the movie adaptations on those characters' pages, as those are still pieces of fiction wherein those characters appeared. But at this point, I've given up on finding a solution that will make the note look like less of a mess. And I will admit that the amount of white-space the note sometimes generates is rather unseemly. I figured a note pointing out that characters appeared in an adaptation of the G1 cartoon movie could be put at the bottom of the article, in the "Notes" section.

Either that, or I could double up links within the cartoon section like this: {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} {{storylink|Transformers: The Animated Movie}} {{storylink|Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie}}. I'm also open to any other suggestions. Either way, I wanted other people to weigh in and give their opinions before I started any kind of wide-spread editing. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 17:07, 3 December 2015 (EST)

:: I'm not convinced that multiple story links or notes are needed at all, at least on a character page.

==Proposal: A "Former multiversal singularities" category==

As probably know, a recent story has split up multiversal singularities into separate characters, or something like that. Because of this, the "multiversal singularities" category has been dissolved, and is no longer linked to on character pages. But why? The idea of multiversal singularities shaped several years of ''Transformers'' fiction. My proposal: a "Formal Multiversal singularities" category, so that we can acknowledge the characters who were once multiversal singularities while not inadvertantly implying that they still ''are'' multiversal singularities.

== We're all sick of arguing about GoBots ==

But here we are again. I restate my position as detailed in an AllSpark post: since moving to its own page, with Cy-Kill returning to his own universe and talking exclusively about "unmade" GoBots episodes, "Renegade Rhetoric" has become ''GoBots'' fiction, not ''Transformers'' fiction, and we do not cover GoBots fiction. Events from ''Challenge of the GoBots'' "season 2" do not warrant coverage on the wiki, and I think that any events described from the original, actually-existing cartoon should be reduced to minimum, and all GoBots characters only mentioned in these stories consolidated into simplified "List of Guardian" and "List of Renegade" pages with only brief write-ups, linking readers to our archive of the Facebook posts if they want the full scoop. Characters such as Cy-Kill and those who have actually appeared in Transformers-universe stories should, of course, retain their own articles. We have editors actively working in bad faith, manipulating Renegade Rhetoric by asking leading questions to force the inclusion of ''GoBots'' on this wiki when it has been repeatedly decided that it won't be, and I am all for an exception being made so that this type of behaviour is not rewarded. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 19:48, 6 January 2016 (EST)

I don't think anyone will be surprised that I disagree. There seem to be two arguments. 1, it's not Transformers fiction. 2, editors working in bad faith. Going case by case,
1: I don't see how Renegade Rhetoric is GoBots fiction and not Transformers fiction. It's being broadcast on Axiom Nexus News, on Cybertron. It stars Cy-Kill, the hybrid Hanna-Barbara/TransTech version. It features a number of characters who are proper Transformers, from the Aligned continuity and the Unictron Trilogy, and more who are powered by sparks stolen from Mirror Alpha Trion's lab. That seems to be the main intellectual foundation for the argument, and I'll grant that it's novel, but I think it's flawed.
2: Were some editors (including me, I'll admit) asking leading questions? Yes, we were. It seems to have largely stopped, mostly because the column stopped rewarding it. But that applies to ALL of Ask Vector Prime, and that's undoubtedly canon. Are we going to start trying to look at the motivation of every creator now and altering coverage accordingly? Milne draws Hot Shot as dead to poke at Walky, should we undocument that?

And now, additional factors. I hate making slippery slope arguments, but really, the real reason we're having this conversation and everyone knows it is that there's a sizable block of people who don't like the content. That's what all of this boils down to. And if the wiki starts picking and choosing what to document, or at what detail to document, based on that, then it will have well and truly lost its way. Because if we decide that we can come up with a pseudo-logical justification to exclude this content, then we'll use it as precedent and do it again. All of Ask Vector Prime. Kiss Players. The Beast Within. That weird retcon about Cyclonus and Bombshell from a video. Big swaths of the Dreamwave run. I don't see it ending. Yes, people are sick of arguing, but this policy will lead to more, not less, arguments.

Another, lesser factor, is that these pages are already made. So we're proposing going through some 200 articles that are already created in compliance with this wiki's policies and changing them due to an exception, making more work for ourselves to make the wiki less informative.

And a third factor, is that these posts are popular. Ask Vector Prime's readership is in the thousands. Every post gets liked, shared, commented upon. People are enjoying it, and some of them will come here to see what we have to say about it. The cost of having a possibly extraneous article is negligible, but the cost of not having an article is real.

I also think that we should do what we always do on weighty matters, and have the debate first and THEN call for a vote. I would suggest that all the "seconded" to the proposal are premature. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 20:38, 6 January 2016 (EST)
:I'm with Gigs, I know we are volunteering, but this s still service, and we are still educators. There is a responsibility to inform the populace, if RR content was exclusively GoBots, there may be some argument, given we don't cover FunPub Gi Joe fiction or even Diaclone fiction(if it exists) even though the later is a TF universe technically.

:''the real reason we're having this conversation and everyone knows it is that there's a sizable block of people who don't like the content. That's what all of this boils down to.''
:NO. No. No no no. I don't give a rip about the content itself either way. (I mean, okay, I think the endless supply of numbering universes and other such non-story wankery is dumb and pointless and has made a Big Giant Thing of something that was meant to be just a sidelong atmospheric technical footnote in a couple of years-ago stories, but that's not the point.)
:No. The point is that this content is being created explicitly and for no other purpose than to circumvent the wiki's rules, to alter its content and organization, by fans who otherwise were unable to get their way on the very content in question. It's not being done as part of a story in any meaningful sense. It's not a unintended side effect by some uninformed pro writer. It's not part of a carefully considered larger universe. It's not something dictated from on high within Hasbro. It's purposefully, transparently, and most of all ''pointlessly'' manipulative, seemingly all because a handful of OCD minds can't handle the thought of a 30 year old cartoon not being related to another 30 year old cartoon.

That's basically with this whole thing, the wiki's "purity" is to be impartial, if snarky, recorder, we log it all and may be smart asses about it, but it's all in.

::I call bullshit on your bullshit. Because if you have been reading Renegade Rhetoric, it's hilarious. It's practically daily new episodes of an 80s cartoon that get the tone spot-on perfect. It's passionate, it has good stories, it even manages to have good characters despite most episodes being about 2 pages long. And none of it is about circumventing wiki rules. If it was, they'd have stopped doing it once they got everyone in, but they haven't. They're telling new stories, and they're quality, and I defy anyone who is actually reading them to disagree with that.

Also also, "people will want to come here to see more RR/GoBots articles" leaves me quite unmoved.

So I'm only a recent editor of this Wiki, but I've been reading it religiously for years. And as a deeply devoted and long time TF fan, despite what some may feel, AVP, RR, and the collective of Club FB Pages have been some of the most entertaining pieces of TF canon. Yes, Go-Bots has a different lineage than the rest of Transformers proper, but at least since the Almanacs, and especially through these FB Pages, Go-Bots has become recognized as legitimate canon within the TF Multiverse. While I admit to being a completionist, and ideally, I'd love to see the entirety of Go-Bots, Brave, Zoids, etc. covered on this wiki due to their relation with Transformers; but worry not, for I understand that realistically, that truly would become far too distractedly cluttered - which is why I can even agree with not having extensive coverage for anything Go-Bots related that is outside of anything under the umbrella of Transformers. But as it was mentioned earlier, Renegade Rhetoric is treated with the same regard as Ask Vector Prime, Spacewarp's Logs and all the Axiom Nexus News Pages. It may not be "directly" Transformers, but it's far more intertwined than the 80's cartoon. No, people shouldn't be abusing to ability to have canon produced just for the sake of the Wiki, but that REALLY doesn't seem to be the case with what RR is producing currently. They're great stories in good fun, and I believe they should be treated as being just as much canon as any other TF media. I vote to include it. Hail Cy-KIll! [[User:IKY|IKY]]

I vote '''Yes''' for removal. Let the Talk:Main Page read forevermore: THE FUNNY STAYS. GOBOTS DO NOT. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 22:24, 6 January 2016 (EST)

A lot of people seem to be in favour of retaining them because they're good, entertaining stories, but I don't think anyone on the "get rid of them" side is disputing that. The issue is they are GoBots stories, not Transformers stories. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 23:51, 6 January 2016 (EST)
:I posted a detailed rebuttal as to how they're Transformers stories. The fact that it's done under a Transformers license. The conceit that, in universe, these are pirate broadcasts on Axiom Nexus News. The fact that many of the Renegades are, in story, Cybertronians. (Puzzler, Monsterous, Wendy's GoBots, more.) The fact that Cy-Kill is the TransTech design. The fact that Vector Prime comments on the occasional question posted on Renegade Rhetoric. It brings us to a fascinating philosophical question... what is a Transformers story? But these stories seem to fit. Just as a thought experiment, if one of the issues of Transformers: Sector 7 followed around, say, Rasputin for a whole issue, and didn't have any Transformers in it... would it still be a Transformers story? I guess I'm saying that yes, it would. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 23:55, 6 January 2016 (EST)
::If an issue of Transformers: Sector 7 did not have any Transformers in it, I think people would be asking IDW some rather pointed questions about WTF they were doing.

Like, literally gaming our decade-old website in bad faith.

So, Chris makes a proposal at 19:46 on 1/6. This is something that he's specifically floated past the forum where old-school wiki editors hang out and driven up buy in, so they he naturally gets a slew of votes immediately, sans any discussion. I rebut, to the best of my ability, and over the course of (checks watch) eleven hours, votes start to come in on an admittedly hot-button topic. A disproportionate number of votes come in from the younger, newer editors, many of whom seem to have come in specifically because of an interest in the material being covered. (Which, in and of itself, might tell you something.) The vote starts to not go towards the proposal, so, again, after less than half a day of debate, Walky calls it. Not because he's so clearly winning, but specifically because he's losing. Well, yeah, I guess it is your wiki, but I never got the impression that this meant the rest of us don't have a vote. I find that highly dispiriting.

Now, again, I'll point out what I said above. Normally for big decisions, we have a discussion. There's a back-and-forth. People state their cases, other people answer them. And we have a bit of that here. But normally we'd debate this for two, three days, let everyone have their say before we even START voting.

As to the quality of the editors, you're absolutely right, we're a younger crowd. But three of us voting are in the top 10 for number of edits in the past month, and I'm much lower than I would have been before the 2 week delay on Ask Vector Prime. Hell, Foffy the Sheep ALONE has more edits in the past month than EVERYONE voting against him COMBINED. SHIELD too. We're the actual worker bees, keeping the wiki running.

I would suggest that our perspectives matter. I would suggest that it's normal and natural and healthy that the new guard looks at what the old guard is doing and says "we can do better" and vigorously attempts to do so. And, further, that it's normal and healthy for the old guard to look at what the new guard is doing, and say, "those crazy kids. They're ruining everything. Why, in our day..." And then the new kids can learn from the old, and the old can perhaps temper the new, and everyone wins. But short-circuiting that process because we're new and young is absolutely the wrong move, sends the wrong message, and will cause more harm than good in the future. I urge you to reconsider, and let the discussion and eventual vote run its course. Because, again, the cure may be worse than the disease.--[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 08:28, 7 January 2016 (EST)
:A bit of a digression, but I don't think what you said about me and several others being top contributors is very accurate. If I make 200 edits to fix a link (such as going through pages and changing every instance of <nowiki>[[Lightfoot]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[Lightfoot (Masterforce)|Lightfoot]]</nowiki>, for example), have I really contributed more than someone who made one edit to write an entire summary?

:There's not a clear ANYTHING, because the debate lasted less than 12 hours with many prominent voices having yet to weigh in.

More than half of the yes votes came immediately after the proposition was made, with no votes trickling in gradually but steadily all night.
:But, really, Riptide, your opinion doesn't matter on this at all. Neither does mine, or Escargons.

:Giggidy, whatever you have to say on this matter is absolutely worthless to me. As you yourself have admitted, you tried to create canon on this wiki by gaming AVP for answers. The problem is you. Why would I listen to you? The weeks-old folks are in the top edits now? That's because the current AVP-heavy focus is discouraging all the other regular editors, because it's such an avalanche of bad faith canon addition that to some it just doesn't seem worth it any more to contribute. If there's a dispute? One side Asks Vector Prime. It's a fucking cancer. It's squeezing out the rest of this wiki. Nobody's here anymore to finish up articles that need updating, they're just here to create canon via AVP. That is how my limited time is wasted on here now, managing all this dumb AVP shit, and lately I've found it too aggravating to even bother. If you keep making this whole enterprise a worthless bad-faith chore? Yeah, the website's going to go away, because why am I spending fucking money on this? So, yeah, I kinda do make the final call!

::That's...really meanspirited Walky. You have every right to make that call, but a wiki like any community is a evolving system, if the majority of the user/editor base has shifted to Y, then as a wiki, Y is the nature of the scene. The idea that the community doesn't matter because of what the owner believes is a real strike against the spirit of this all. A straight vote would have been fine, but the precedent that if the editors shift one way that the wiki tells them to hug off, instead of the wiki naturally evolving with it's users is a dangerous precedent. We all came here as a celebration and communion of our fandom, what fandom means and how we express that differs but we all hold the true heart of the fan within us, and no one deserves to be shut down because there passion doesn't match up totally with anothers. To a significant portion, that Ask Vector Prime shit ''is'' there Transformers, it's there fandom, and cutting it out or stomping it down because you feel it should not be here is to neglect the heart love and passions others have for this. I spent all of my college career and most of High School here, I have spent hundreds hours on this site being whisked away into this fantasy; seeing countless adventures and mythos and drawing connections and ties between lore like some comparative mythologist of old. That was ''my'' fandom, that was ''my'' passion, and I know it is not yours and I would never say yours doesnt have a right to exist; we are equal here and there is no reason why we cannot peacefully and respectfully co exist and give proper due to ''all'' facets of the fandom. This is a demographic shift, a culture clash, between the "original" community (itself not how the wiki began as) and a newer culture grown from the seeds sown by our for bearers and a shifting attitude in the media that has changed this little mystery cult over time. But that's okay. Fans have grown up gone pro, influenced fiction, beget fans of there own and now what they bred has come into it's own. I am not asking for a free pass on anything, I am not trying to fight for special treatment, all I am saying is that differing views and experiences of the fandom and the wiki itself should be allowed to exist , grow and change without one voice lording dominant because they are the owner.

You know what Tf means to us, you know what it means to all of us. We ''all'' do. So please dont declare this war, please, allow everyone on the wiki the right to act edit and function for the harmony of us all and our readers. We can do this, together.

===Epilogue: It's all over but the crying===
:This was supposed to be a short reponse to Lush City, but it quickly grew, and as it did so, I began to re-evaluating my initial opinion on this matter. Bear with me through this wall of text, won't you please?

:<nowiki>*</nowiki>clears throat* I think part of the reason some many of the editors on this wiki, including myself, have grown to resent GoBots so much is because of the mass amount of bullshit that is generated every time they're discussed. This discussion grew more in a day than most others do in a week; even big, huge drawn-out arguments like [[Talk:Grand Galvatron|the Grand Galvatron fiasco]] that have reached an ''ungodly'' length pale in comparison to this one, and there are several other GoBots discussions just like this one. You know what they all have in common? They ''NEVER. GET. ANYWHERE''. This exact discussion has been rehashed several times over the course of the past 6 years or so, and I imagine that's pretty tiresome for the people who have been here to each and every massive GoBots bitchfest unfold one after the other. Hell, I've only had to deal with one day of GoBots discussion and I'm already sick of it! I can't even ''begin'' to imagine what it must be like to deal with this shit on multiple different occasions over the course of several years, but I bet it's unpleasant.

:When we first starting mentioning the GoBots and making pages to discuss their relevence to Transformers, it was like taking a puppy we found on the street and bringing him into our house. He was so cute and harmless, how could we ''not'' let him in? So we fed him and played with him and took care of him. As we did so, that cute little puppy slowly but surely grew into a vicious 80 pound behemoth that had a trail of destruction following it wherever it went. It may be the cutest dog ever, but it's harassing the neighbors and covering the house in fecal matter. Not only that, but it ate the sofa. It's more trouble than it's worth.

:Dog <s>metaphors</s> similes aside, seeing this discussion has really changed my tune regarding Go-Bots. It's fun to have it, yes, but not fun enough to justify the massive bitchfests that take place every time someone tries to discuss what the length and scope of GoBots coverage should be. When Walky said he was ending this argument, I don't think he was just talking about this one particular instance of the debate that took place over the last 24 hours so much as the entirety of the various GoBots arguments over the past six years. And perhaps it's for the best; it seems that the inclusion GoBots on {{SITENAME}} has brought nothing but suffering. I think we should really only be covering GoBots stuff from official Transformers fiction, and if we're honest, Renegade Rhetoric no longer falls into that category. -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 00:42, 8 January 2016 (EST)

{{note|Somewhere around this point, I remembered that Walky had already kinda-sorta ended the debate. (I say "kinda-sorta" because it continued on in spite of this to some extent.). I took a look at what I'd written, said to myself "Well, shit. I gotta do ''something'' with that." So I slapped this note on here and posted the whole kit and kaboodle onto the community portal, relevance be damned. -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 00:42, 8 January 2016 (EST)}}

:I get what you are saying, but does that make GoBots the problem, or the fighting? Even so, I don't see that as a necessarily bad thing. We come together, debate, and reason out the best course of action, then keep on it until the situation changes and we come to a new consensus. That's exactly what a healthy Parliamentary body should do. When RR came up we discussed it and came to a decision, what I was showing concern about was Walky using judgment calls to prerserve demographic integrity, it felt a lot like there is an image of who this wiki is for, and that it would be enforced despite the actual editor/userbase. The idea that a wiki, or any community is served by the people instead of the other way around is a dangerous precedent so I am concerned of what will happen with future "culture clashes."

===Questions and self reflection===
So, Walky said basically that I'm the problem, or part of it. And I don't want to be. I've got a lot of energy and I find wiki editing a relaxing way to unwind. I like puzzling through the connections and figuring out those ah ha moments when I feel like I can glimpse into the author's head and guess what they were thinking. So. How do I use that to be useful? I've done thousands of edits since I signed up and I really thought most of them were welcome and appropriate. Please, someone, point me in the right direction. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 18:03, 8 January 2016 (EST)
:All I can offer is the same advice from our [[Ulchtar]] discussion: "''Be helpful, don't just be busy.''" I mean this as helpful criticism, but you do seem to confuse the two. Above, when you tried to call attention to Foffy the Sheep's value by saying, "''Look how many contributions he makes a day!''", even Foffy pointed out most of that was just adding links. Valid contributions, no doubt, but it isn't what makes someone a VIP contributor. I've been here since 2006. I created many of the original G1 character pages, filled out the fiction sections for every Mini-Con in the Armada cartoon and every secondary character in ''Headmasters'', but I still consider myself a mid-level contributor at best.
:Part of the problem is you came in during the AVP flurry of activity, which wasn't a good example of how the Wiki typically operates. Moving pages back and forth, renaming articles, votes on content...these used to be extremely rare events around here, once every six months or so. So what you might have seen as standard, day-to-day activity here was really a rare hassle becoming increasingly more common and grating on the nerves of the admins and long-time contributors without you even knowing it.
:I haven't read through your contributions section, so I don't know what besides AVP you like to contribute. I know some of the fiction sections have become drastically out of date. With so many contributors focused on using AVP or cleaning up after it, pages like Rodimus's IDW appearances haven't been updated in nearly two years! I routinely troll the character stubs section linked on the first page to find things to do. Depending on your preference, there's also Images Needed and Wanted Pages to create linked on the front page, too.
:Only other advice I'd offer is, for the moment, work more on contributing to the Wiki in its current format, instead of questioning or trying to change the format itself. That's my advice. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 18:50, 8 January 2016 (EST)
::I've found that another good way to help is by going through [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Special:LonelyPages Orphaned pages list] and linking them to the relevant articles, or making sure that the disambiguation pages mention every applicable character.

There's also [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Wiki:Community_Portal/Underlinked this] list of articles that aren't linked to enough; it might be slightly outdated, but it's pretty useful.<br>I thought maybe my experience as a fairly new editor might be helpful to you; I hope this turns out to be the case.<br>(Side note: I was unaware that moving articles and such used to be a rare occurence; I'll try to keep that in mind and avoid such things whenever possible.) -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 19:10, 8 January 2016 (EST)

== Template proposal ==

I'm getting really sick of cleaning up fiction note templates, so, hey, here's an idea. Every single one from now on has to actually be brought up here before the community before it's implemented and not done willy-nilly by one person or a small group of editors. I realize that, as a wiki, we are going to inherently have continuity boners, but the recent trend of drowning character pages in notes is annoying and intrusive. The idea that we need to mention every point of continuity minutiae even in articles like fucking [[universal greeting]] is obnoxious and needs to ''stop''. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 11:13, 8 January 2016 (EST)
:I agree. Things like "Regeneration One is a continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity" don't need to be in the middle of character write-ups. -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 12:30, 8 January 2016 (EST)
::The Marvel thing is a unique case that at least is relevant to character write ups—it tells readers that the Marvel UK stuff mixed into the Marvel US stuff doesn't count. (Of course, this only applies to articles that actually have sections for the original Marvel comics.) The text in the notes could stand to be trimmed down, though. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 12:53, 8 January 2016 (EST)

::::Wings, Classics, RG1 on pages without the continuity they're referring to. Ask Vector Prime. I'm bringing this up now because we need to develop a better way of vetting templates that are theoretically going to be used on many pages.

:::::::::Ehhhhhn. I'm willing to let "ongoing" live, as, well, there's a TON of "dead" fictions and only a few currently-updating ones, and letting people know which ones are likely to actually ''continue'' and not just be a storyline dead-end is at least marginally informative.

I don't do much fiction-section work anymore, but if I can identify part of the problem ''with the fiction itself''... unlike most franchises, TFs has a metric fuckton of "major" divergent splinter timelines. I mean, how many different Marvel G1 comic timeline spinoffs do we have now that don't actually relate to each other? It can be difficult at first look of a page to tell the difference between a series of proper, one-timeline sequel-series and, well, the clusterfuck that is post-Marvel-G1-related stuff branching out like a hydra. So I'm loathe to just run with the "well everyone reading thew wiki should know this" mentality.<br>
So, can see ''why'' the templates began, but when we started getting more and more branches? A bit out of hand. And worse, it's not quite a thing the base wiki organization tools are good at adapting and making obvious. (Frankly I find it tricky to tell sometimes the difference between a <nowiki>===</nowiki>-subsection and a <nowiki>====</nowiki>-subsection, but that's another quibble for later).<br>
I think a good amount of this can be mitigated with some creative rewriting of the sections' openings, "ten years after the battle of Klo" or whatnot. And certainly that doesn't even need to be brought up if it's just a one-off page of a piece of minor technology from one issue of a spinoff. But for larger pages with a buttload of timeline-fragments?<br>
We might want to look into collapsible Notes. Just a single template that can be adapted not just for this, but, well, for anything. Whack it up top, collapsed, have it say "Continuity Note: (more)" (not as a default), then people can click on it and see "well this continuity branches off from blardeeblar and has no relation to blardeeblar". This way the clutter is minimal, the information on our confusing mess of fiction is right at the fingertips.<br>

== More Prominence for IDW ==

I'm going to propose a change, because the above discussion reminded me of something I find annoying -- the position of IDW in the Fiction sections. At this point, I believe IDW is the longest running continuous fiction in Transformers history. Yet while the 30 year cartoon and Marvel Comic are easy to pick out due to their position at the top or their multitude of subcategories, IDW is typically found near the bottom of the list, nestled in between Japanese micro-continuities, Sticker Adventures and, god help us, ''The Beast Within''.<br><br>
Is there a better configuration we could work with? I'd be supportive of a "Major Fiction" and "Minor Fiction" breakdown for the traditional "Fiction" section, if we could all peacefully agree to what counts as Major and Minor. Another thought I had was to do away with the ''Ongoing Fiction Template'', and just have "Ongoing Fiction" automatically at the top and "Previous Fiction" underneath.<br><br>
Any of this sound worth looking into more? --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 21:08, 11 January 2016 (EST)
: Absolutely friggin' not, never or ever. Organizing fiction due to perceived prominence is counter to the very spirit this wiki was founded on.

:::That kind of potential slippery-sloping was why I had misgivings about that change in the first place. But Disambig pages are navigation pages, and articles are not, and I have faith that we can recognize the different needs for pages according to their utility and not just make everything the same just because it makes our brains feel superficially happier. But let me put it this way: Imagine Grapple's page. In a "we put IDW first because it's important" world, a dinky subsection in which he appears in the background twice is given precedence over a Big Looker storybook in which he is a major character. IDW isn't always super important to a character's page just because its fiction's gone on a decade! And here's the kicker -- for those folks who've appeared a buttload in IDW, those sections are split off into their own subpages and navigation at the very top of the page leads you right there, effectively already giving everyone this proposed functionality. And without losing the information of real-world chronological release order that levels the canonicity playing field, I might add. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 14:00, 12 January 2016 (EST)

:Just throwing this out there as an alternative suggestion to moving the sections around: what do people think of the idea of bolding major sections in the table of contents, so for Optimus you'd end up with something [[:File:Contents bold test.jpg|like this]]. For the sake of preventing arguments we'd reserve it for the really prominent G1 continuities (G1 and BW cartoons, Marvel, IDW and possibly Dreamwave comics), since it's not generally a problem for other continuity families. I'm thinking this could be done very simply in CSS without having to edit a ton of pages, though it would mean that characters with only an IDW fiction section would have it bolded in their contents listing. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:30, 12 January 2016 (EST)

:This ties into an old proposal from way back that I'd also found in my Community Portal re-read, and was brought up on Allspark (and I'd briefly mentioned here recently); the visual differences between subheaders are really quite minimal. It's hard to tell at a look where one continuity-line ends and the other begins. there's got to be something we can do just '''''visually''''' to make these divisions easier to identify by sight.

::::Since the initial concern, at least, was IDW, can someone sandbox a G1 character with an IDW section to see how that might look?

I've grown pretty iffy on using images as headers, honestly. There's a lotta "standalone" timelines that don't really have logos and having only SOME major headers be logo images... ehhhhhn.

==The Goal Of The Wiki==
(slight editing of something I posted to the Allspark's wiki thread)

A little while back I decided to rummage through the Community Portal archives... from the beginning. The earliest stages, when we were hammering out how to lay out the damn pages, what we should disambiguate by, etc. Saw the suggestions for making information more readily-accessible (character appearance tables, the GO! Box, the navigation templates), the "common wiki" practices we rejected because they just could not apply to this franchise (character infoboxes, for example, thanks to the many many many bodies the characters could have), up through the big move away from Wikia when they started really fucking us over with their ads.

And during that lonnnnng string of arguments with Wikia staff, when we tried (repeatedly) to explain why this "only not-signed-in readers will see the ads so why are you complaining since you don't see the page-ruining ads see this will somehow make money!" thing was utter bullshit...

:''"We create the content on this wiki FOR casual readers."''

Re-read that. '''''RE-FUCKING-READ THAT.'''''

The wiki lost that mentality somewhere. At some point in the last few years, the wiki stopped being about the readers, what would make the vast ocean of material accessible and entertaining to them. It became a micro-minutia-based circlejerk. It became editors confusing anal-retentive busywork (based on the strictest interpretation of rules that always were meant to be applied with a slight degree of malleability because our subject matter absolutely HAS to be handled that way) with productive and useful updating. And with the advent of the Facebook AVP, it became "gee now I can make Real Transformers wheeeeee" with even more micro-minutia and bad-faith gaming of the canon policy that was originally meant to give equal space to the obscure so we wouldn't have the "prominence = more deserving" mentality (plus stuff very specifically made to create circumstances to middle-finger policies that have served us well for a decade prior).

Thus, people who've worked for a decade to make the wiki something huge and special and a wiki other fandoms look at and go "holy shit, we need something like this" find themselves frustrated and edging away as the spirit of the whole thing turns into this sour, solipsistic nigh-gatekeepery up-its-own-ass wank festival, especially when certain subjects just won't. Goddamn. STOP.

From one of our newest regulars:

:''"Hell, I've only had to deal with one day of GoBots discussion and I'm already sick of it! I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to deal with this shit on multiple different occasions over the course of several years, but I bet it's unpleasant."''

So when I see "hey why don't we move IDW sections up because I think it's more important" or "why don't we rename every character in the Japanese-fiction writeups to their Japanese names", yeah, I'm gonna respond harsher because it's kind of hit that point where we have to start bringing the hammer down hard to keep this thing even remotely accessible to anyone who isn't fully engaged in the minutia of TFdom.

I think wiki editors (and others) need to stop and have a good think about WHY they're doing what they're doing, and who they're actually doing it for, and, ultimately, if they should actually be doing it.

There's an important difference between "can" and "should", and too many don't see it. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 04:08, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:''look i already apologised for the japanese name thing okay''
:Well, said, though, and you've given me something to think about. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 05:21, 12 January 2016 (EST)

:...Yeah, I'm taking exception to this.

:Because of recent events, I wasn't expecting anyone to jump for joy, but this is a bit much. First of all, "''hey why don't we move IDW sections up because I think it's more important''" is reductive and dismissive to the facts on the table and the argument I presented. IDW being "ongoing fiction" isn't my subjective opinion, it's a fact. It's also the longest running mass-market fiction not only ongoing right now, but also in Transformers history. So I'm not some weebo saying, "I like Japan, so other people must want Japan to be more prominent, too." (no offense, Riptide -- just for the argument) We were discussing a case of ''factual'' prominence, not the "perceived prominence" just inside my own silly head.

:And I don't need ''"We create the content on this wiki FOR casual readers."'' repeated back to me because it was you, M "Not lovin' this idea" Sipher I was thinking of, saying those very words, which made me think this was a good idea.

:Maybe we have different ideas about what casual readers are, but I think of them as new/returning fans who came here because of some ongoing fiction they just saw, and might like to learn more about. If they're watching ''Robots in Disguise'' or ''Rescue Bots'', that's cool -- most of those character pages are traceable by (RID) or (RB) disambigs, which is simple enough to figure out. And their Fiction box sections are (mostly) minimal enough to glance over and find what you wanted.

:But what about the comics? Well, first they have to know IDW is Generation 1, which isn't exactly on the cover of the comics. Then they have to know the Fiction section on a character's page is organized by release date. You and I know that, but is that rule actually posted in a FAQ somewhere so we could expect a casual reader to know it? The way Sunbow and Marvel subdivide on most pages, a casual reader could be forgiven for thinking the most prominent stuff is ''already'' on the top. And even assuming they're visiting the Wiki on a full-screen computer and not a mobile device, for the 1987 guys or earlier "IDW Generation 1 continuity" is likely going to be "below the fold". And if you made it to the end of this paragraph thinking TL;DR, imagine the casual reader going through this in real time. THAT was who I was thinking of when I suggested the Ongoing Fiction content that the casual reader might be looking for when they come here ''be easier to find somehow''.

:I'm not ''trying'' to throw your words back at you, M Sipher, but again it honestly was a post you made this week defending the Ongoing Fiction Template that made me think of this. You said, "''letting people know which ones are likely to actually continue and not just be a storyline dead-end is at least marginally informative''". But the current razor-thin, World's Smallest Template Note doesn't really accomplish that. A casual reader may stumble across it by accident, if they squint, or they'll find it if they're already looking for it, but that's it. Floating Ongoing Fiction to the top of the Fiction sections negates the need for the template, lets new readers find what they were most likely looking for more easily, and those Fictions can just as easily be shuffled back down into 'release date order "dead" fiction' once they are no longer ongoing.

:If this was a bad idea, fine. But maybe you could provide me a definition of "casual reader friendly", because obviously my ''WWMSD?'' bracelet doesn't help when I'm too stupid to know the answer. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 09:09, 12 January 2016 (EST)

::There's a Table of Contents at the top of just about every character page. The wiki software even ''automatically'' makes a TOC if a page has enough subsections. That TOC has "IDW continuity" in it, which links directly to said subsection. Easy.
::Your proposal is nothing but arguments waiting to happen over what's "more important", to become more arguments over which "more important" fiction takes prominenece over the other "more important" (comics or cartoons?) with no actual ''benefit''. It is furniture-shuffling. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 13:19, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:::Not to put words in Sipher's mouth, but I don't think the main idea he's putting across is ''really'' about your proposal, Xaaron, you've just said it at a moment in time in which we are seeing a lot of what Sipher describes (but trying to dub something "more important" ''will'' lead to arguments - I remember way back when when people would complain we were putting the Marvel comic ahead of the cartoon). To repost something I've also said on the Allspark - which I don't consider to relate to your proposal, Xaaron - I have been saying for a long time in private conversation what Sipher is saying now, and several months ago, I tried to explain how we're basically responsible for breeding this attitude into our readers. It's the same attitude that caused the AVP brouhaha - we are seeing editors now openly state that the wiki has been a gateway to a lot of this stuff for them, and that they have fixated on the minutiae and the continuity-fondling, which is such a small part of what Transformers, and the wiki, is about that it's the wrong lesson to come away with. Wiki projects ATTRACT those with mindsets focused on categorization, organization, and pattern-observation. It took years before we had editors who were able to reconcile that way of thinking with our "and also fun!" approach, but they now exist, and are more interested in trying to make sure all the headers are precisely the same, that everything is in exactly the right continuity-order and header-structure and category, that all the disambigs are exact - that absolutely everything fits into its little imaginary box, and that nothing breaks the rules by coming out of its box unless there's a seventeen-week debate about it first. ORGANIZATION IS IMPORTANT, but - with the greatest of actual respect to our new editors, because it is thankless hugging busywork and its impressive that you're dedicated to it - as Sipher says, this "moving of the furniture" is all that newer-guard editors actually seem to want to do, or to be capable of doing. It's very, very easy to paste a one-or-two sentence nugget of information from AVP into the wiki, which is why so many people do it and why it got so out of control - but you don't see anyone falling over themselves to add Spacewarp's Log stuff, even before the two-week delay, because it's not presented in nugget form, it's a piece of prose that you'd actually have to - shock, horror - read and summarize, and - oh christ no - it's NOT full of references to pre-existing things so you can't just paste it into existing articles or throw the AVP stub template in. When - just for a recent example - I can go to the article of a major character like Ironhide or Thundercracker and still find tons of material that needs filling in, that says "it doesn't matter that it's been ten years, there is a lot more important work to do than making sure that header is a level 2 or a level 3 one." - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 13:32, 12 January 2016 (EST)
::::I just want to be clear that people who take the time to do "busywork" like, say, fixing links so they no longer lead to a redirect page are ''unquestionably welcome to''. That's good, that has a tangible benefit to our wiki (reducing server load). That kind of "busywork" is ''absolutely'' okay. It's the seemingly-endless stream of talks about reorganizing hundreds of pages, arguments over disambigs, and yeah, the "easy" trivia-nugget work that's grinding here. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 14:01, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:I get the concern over the AVP-inspired editors, and even counseled Giggidy about this very issue above. In hindsight, I probably should've waited for the dust to settle more on the GoBots matter before suggesting something similar for different reasons, but like I said, the idea was sparked by the above discussion about the Ongoing Template.
:And I completely agree that a Major/Minor Fiction split would likely lead to more arguments than benefits, which is why I also proposed Ongoing/Not Ongoing. That's completely binary and objective. It's not subject to debate over which fiction is "More Ongoing" than another.
:I agree that the IDW links above the main character images remove any need for my proposal...for the characters who have them. My concern rested with characters like Jazz or Soundwave who do not have IDW subpages, and that continuity is 21 or 24 listings down on their Fiction TOCs, nestled between things like ''Q-Robo'' and ''Henkei! Henkei!''. But, as I believe Chip suggested on the Allspark, a way to resolve all this is to just be more lenient with allowing IDW subpages in the first place. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 16:31, 12 January 2016 (EST)
::I too proposed that. Is there a specific reason why that tab system isn't more prominent. Heck, maybe it would even work for stuff like the Marvel and Sunbow cartoons. Those tabs are a simple and brilliant way to get our readers to what they are looking for. A casual coming here after googling say "Prowl Transformers" needs to be sent to were they need to be efficiently as possible.

==Continuity Stream Bullshit==
I suggested this on the Allspark, and there's some momentum for it so I'll put it here.

As M Sipher said above, arbitrary furniture movement is bad. That said, all the continuity stream minutae is even worse, and serves only to bloat our pagecount with duplicated information in articles that will only ever be stubs forever. Why do both [[Primax 984.0 Gamma]] and [[The Transformers (issue)]] exist? Or [[Marvel Comics continuity]] if you think the continuity is more important than what the Universal Stream indicator actually decodes to, although if there weren't significant opposition I'd argue that since the stream encoding to a piece of fiction is a 1:1 mapping that we should respect that directly.

Since a Universal Stream page will not contain any useful information other than its actual stream indicator (and VERY occasionally some detail such as "this universe is destroying another one"), I'd like to propose that all universal stream pages either be redirected to the actual single piece of fiction that the stream indicator decodes to, or to the Continuity timeline page that best describes it - and somewhere on **that** page we try and find a place for the universal stream number. Perhaps in the same fashion we originally handled alternate names - directly below the introductory paragraph, in bold?

If this causes problems, feel free to disregard... but I've heard enough discontent about the matter and there's been enough push for it there that I feel confident enough to put my next foot forward on this happening. [[User:Sky Shadow|Sky Shadow]] ([[User talk:Sky Shadow|talk]]) 10:32, 13 January 2016 (EST)

My proposal is that rather than stream pages, major continuities would all get pages. a Marvel g1 universe page, a sunbow cartoon universe a Classicsverse page and so on. Then, stream numbers used in universe would be redirect to those pages. Minor streams would get redirected to the current list pages we have now; AVP additions to minor streams would go in notes on the works main page. (For example, Ulchtar would go in the notes of that videogame)[[User:Lush City|Lush City]] ([[User talk:Lush City|talk]]) 10:51, 13 January 2016 (EST)

I just noted that the already existing Universal Stream pages could be converted into continuity pages in some instances , http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Classicsverse could be simply renamed "Classics Continuity/Universe" for example[[User:Lush City|Lush City]] ([[User talk:Lush City|talk]]) 11:07, 13 January 2016 (EST)
:I'm not seeing how universal streams are logically any different than random crap namedropped without context in stories all the time. [[Pralmtzurlz VI]], [[Vaulted Heights of K'th Kinsere]], and [[Payload of General Frightening]] have less content than most universe pages. There also isn't really a way to effectively have real-world information and then fictional universe information on the same article; [[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]] isn't going to look any better if you put all of the [[To Die Game!]] stuff on it. (Primax 984.0 Gamma is also not limited to "The Transformers", so, uh, what?) [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 13:10, 13 January 2016 (EST)
::The difference is those pages are not wholly redundant. For example, yeah, maybe the city "Gygax" only got mentioned offhand in one story. But as it gets a page, it goes in the Category listing of "Cybertron cities" (or whatever it's actually called) and then when, oh, say, a TV cartoon writer wants to look up cities for references...
::In other words, BAM, the whole reason we did this wiki. The obscure was given an outlet, and it got used again. And this is far from the only instance.
::But this is not a functionality that serves any real purpose for the named Streams. You need to know the code to make any sense of them, at which point you can easily make up a code for any piece of fiction that exists. And ''every piece of Transformers fiction that exists IS canonically its own universe'', '''''and''''' simultaneously wholly-subsumed parts of other universes, because of quantum (read: pseudoscience arglebargle translation of a meta-based concept with no real defined rules because we, and I literally mean WE as in me and Trent, made it all up and jesus on a tilt-a-whirl some people think way too hard and too rigidly about this). All these pages do is create a hoop for people to jump through unnecessarily. We don't need the pagecount bloat.
::If people are REALLY concerned about stuff not from, say, that one storybook that some FunPub gag-strip or Facebook post placed some wacky new event, then there is a simple solution. NOTES SECTION. One bullet point is really all you need in the overwhelming majority of cases. Something else, a subsection under notes called, oh, "Use in Other Fictions" will cover it. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 15:49, 13 January 2016 (EST)
:::Yeah, the "club fiction adds a bunch of stuff to some random micro-continuity" scenario is really the only one where the stream pages are even remotely good for anything - the Shell Game/Megazarak universe springs to mind - and in those cases it is potentially useful to have the info from a bunch of separate AVP things (or whatever) collected. But as you say, Sipher, that kind of thing could happily live in the notes section of the fiction article. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 16:06, 13 January 2016 (EST)
::::From a group complaining about "moving the furniture around", there sure have been a lot of suggestions recently about deleting a lot of pages and taking all the info in them and putting them onto slightly harder-to-find pages. I'm not even sure I have an opinion on this proposal, but the observation struck me as odd. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 16:09, 13 January 2016 (EST)
:::::Context is important, and the context here is bandwidth issues and reader experience. Those are fucking important. Every time we bounce a reader to another page, that's another tick on our sever, and these pages are, as noted, almost wholly redundant info when we could send them to a page that has the whole thing. And you're gonna sit there and claim that a listing of made-up words and number gibberish is somehow easier for a reader to use than just putting the relevant information on a page titled in plain English they're ''vastly'' more likely to find on their own. Okay, sure, whatever. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 16:17, 13 January 2016 (EST)

::Let me put this another way... the stream pages feel akin to having a page for "Khrapovik" then listing only the things ''Prime'' Ratchet did in the Russian comics on it. Again, ''technically'' a different universe, sure, but it's part of the bigger universe and splitting it out really only obfuscates info in the name of pedantry, and it's just better off folding it into the main. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 17:09, 13 January 2016 (EST)
::: That makes a lot of sense to me. This might be one of those situations where we want to use flexibility. If there is a continuity page that already exists, maybe the redirect goes there and we have a fiction section. If there's a universal stream and little else, maybe that can just go away. And if there's a lot of information about the stream, maybe we just keep it. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 23:06, 13 January 2016 (EST)
::So should we start compiling solutions for wn eventual vote. I'm behind the idea of replacing stream pages with pages for the continuity. In fact I think a good way to deal with extra Avp infor is to use are already existing arrow system. Thede added storiee are just like,say Regeneration One added to the end of Marvel US in a way, so for example. Mystery of the Convoy would get an arrow that goes to To Die Game, Shell Game would get an extra a avp write up detail.

But over all I am for us having Continuity pages instead of streams. Like was said above we don't need Primax Whatever Gamma AND Marvel US continuity pages.

==Alternate names==
When we mention a character's alternate names (i.e, on X's page, we note that "he is sometimes known as '''Y'''), there seems to be a bit of confusion as to exactly ''where'' we do it. [[Grapple (G1)|Some pages]] place such information near the top in the continuity note, whereas [[Octane|others]] put it at the end of the opening paragraph. Is there a policy on this?

What many would regard as trash, '''Salvage''' regards as treasure. His ability to take objects which others would regard as useless and use them to build all manner of useful things is sure to be an asset in his training to become a [[Rescue Bot]].

Salvage and Blurr's ship crashed on [[Earth]] as the result of a meteor storm. While Salvage was attempting to save some cavemen, Blurr took the opportunity to try to take off in the ship without him, leading to the pair fighting and then being forced into their [[stasis pod]]s when the meteors began hitting the cave. They remained in stasis for some ten thousand years, and due to the damage Salvage's pod sustained, when he was awoken he had no memory of events after the crash — as a result Blurr was able to claim the credit for saving the cavemen. He and Blurr met [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and were invited to join [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots for training. After Salvage successfully helped out in a rescue by constructing an electromagnet, the truth came out about who rescued the cavemen. {{storylink|The New Recruits}}

Salvage proceeded well in his training, watching all the training videos [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] made and going on a mission to rescue a window washer. He helped [[Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] construct [[ERVIS]] and install it in the ''[[Sigma]]''. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ship, Salvage had to rescue Cody from the hangar. A solar flare knocked out the island's power and left a satellite plummeting towards the island, but Salvage was able to rig up a communications device and reach Blurr, allowing the rest of the team to talk him through destroying the satellite. He and Blurr was subsequently made Rescue Bots and assigned elsewhere by Optimus. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

Blurr and Salvage joined some other recruits to contact the Rescue Bots for some tips, only to find the Bots on Griffin Rock were only able to sing. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}} Salvage and Blurr were on their way to Griffin Rock with High Tide when they had to stop and rescue [[Woodrow Burns]].

Young and unsure at times, Blades would prefer to be safe and on the ground...but he doesn't let that stop him when others are in danger.

Blades was part of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s team of Rescue Bots — he was the smart one who made up all the plans. When the team received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], they hopped in their spacecraft and joined him on [[Earth]], where he was given the [[alternate mode]] of a helicopter. Inexperienced at flying, Blades accidentally sliced a tree with his rotors, and it had to be dealt with by the rest of the team. They eventually arrived in [[Griffin Rock]], where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}}

After some time away from Griffin Rock, Blades returned to [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]] to join the team, and introduced himself to [[Cody Burns]]. He, Heatwave and Cody were soon called out on a mission, however Blades's broken radio caused problems, and he inadvertently fanned the forest fire with his rotors until the others could warn him away. Instead he found his partner [[Sawyer Storm]] helping humans trapped by the fire and assisted in the rescue. Back at the fire station, Blades and the team were congratulated on a job well done, and Blades got his radio fixed. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} He was on hand to welcome [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] when the remaining members of the team arrives. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}

Blades was part of a team of Rescue Bots who were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus assigned the team to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. Blades was not keen on the helicopter [[alternate mode]] he was forced to take, as his previous form had wheels and he was afraid of heights. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Blades discovered that his new partner, [[Dani Burns]], could yell really loud when she wanted him to fly faster as they went to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

[[File:Hotshots Blades with scoopclaw belly.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Too alarmin' now to talk about."]]
Dani and Blades continued to have trouble working together, arriving late to an emergency. Cody tried unsuccessfully to get the pair to bond, until there was another emergency when [[Mount Magma]] began threatening the island with lava. Blades and Dani operated the switch to open the volcano's crater as a relief measure, but when they were subsequently caught in an ash cloud, Dani had to cajole a panicking Blades into flying out of it. He managed to earn her respect when he subsequently braved the ash to pick up a water tower and douse the lava with it. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}

After Blades felt like he wasn't contributing enough, Dani fitted a scoop claw to him, something he wasn't that enthusiastic about, and made him look fat in [[robot mode]]. The claw soon proved its worth, though the other Rescue Bots were annoyed Blades and Dani were hogging all the rescues and even threatened to forcibly remove it. When during a patrol, Blades was forced down by a lightning strike, the other Rescue Bots came to his aid, and he and Dani decided to use the claw scoop a little less often in the future. {{storylink|Hotshots}} Blades and Dani retrieved a lobster parade balloon after it carried away Doc Greene. Three of the Rescue Bots took part in the technology parade during the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] but the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, who seemed to have a liking for Blades's face. He and Dani helped round them up using a cage and the lobster balloon, so they could be neutralized. Afterwards, Blades finally worked out the joke. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}

After helping prevent a hazardous chemical spill, the Rescue Bots were forced to endure a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'' that resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic when he reported an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to help during the ensuing chaos and destroyed Huxley's [[SETI]] dish to avoid the island's destruction. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After [[Boulder]] got the idea to adopt a pet, Blades helped him by shutting down the power to [[Griffin Rock Zoo]]. They spent the rest of the night trying to find the [[Whiskers|lion]] that Boulder had let loose, and Blades ended up catching it in a cage. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}

After Cody souped up a go-kart, Blades was worried he wouldn't want to hang out with them any more. The go-kart turned sour when Cody tried to soup it up with nanites, which instead ran rampant, and the Rescue Bots had to help him. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} Cody roped the Rescue Bots into helping him take care of a [[Robo-Baby]]. They found Blades's rotors had a soothing effect on the baby and put it to sleep. When the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, Blades and Dani had to rescue [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]] again, and in the meantime the baby escaped from the fire station, forcing Cody and the Rescue Bots to track it down. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}

He and the other Rescue Bots were invited on a fishing trip with Chief Burns and Cody the next day, and Blades, who had been watching too many pirate movies, began affecting pirate talk. After the Bots encountered and fought a [[shark submarine]], the sub started a self-destruct sequence, and Blades had to fly it out to sea before it exploded. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}

Blades was happy at being grounded due to fog, but had to fly anyway when the dinosaur from the museum was spotted near the lab. Though it turned out the dinosaur had been reprogrammed, a short time later the island's technology went wild, and the Rescue Bots had to deal with the out-of-control devices and a hacked [[Trex]]. After they subdued the beast, Blades had to fly Doc Greene back to his lab to remove the virus from Trex. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy.

The team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], during which Blades, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and Boulder were shrunk to the size of ants by the [[Minimizer]] and ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} While trying to save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s boat, Blades was pulled under the sea but managed to save the boat with the help of the rest of the team. He helped Cody search the tunnels under the island to find a mooring station, leading the team to venture into the sea where they helped [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]] seal the vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with strict orders not to go to [[Griffin Crest]]. After receiving an apparent SOS from Cody, Blades and the others went there anyway and ended up immobilized by an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field, leaving them in need of a rescue. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Blades had a rotor bend during a rescue at the airport, so when he and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island, he was unable to fly back to Griffin Rock for help. The Bots' attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}

[[File:Bttr bumblebee blades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|"There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes."]]
While on a mission to [[Wayward Island]], Blades was excited to meet Bumblebee, however his attempting to show off backfired when he got stuck to a tree and Bumblebee had to rescue him. Back on Griffin Rock, the team attended another rescue, but when the other three Rescue Bots seized up, Bumblebee once again had to help Blades complete the rescue. As it turned out the others had been infected by a virus from the meteorite, Blades stayed at the fire station while the humans and Bumblebee went to deal with it, but ended up flying out himself to rescue Bumblebee from an undersea trench. Faced with an out-of-control bomb, the two Bots used it to destroy the meteorite, but were infected by the virus themselves. Luckily a sample of the meteorite they'd obtained resulted in the finding of a cure, and Blades was overjoyed to get some photos of himself with Bumblebee. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

When the Rescue Bots were called out to deal with a huge blob of space goo, Blades was horrified by it eating [[Mister Pettypaws]] and tried fruitlessly to hit it with a park sculpture. He and Dani tracked the [[Squilsh]] from the air, and later provided an air lift when the team cornered it at the [[Griffin Rock Community Pool]]. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}} Blades and Dani rescued Frankie from [[Tracer (RB)|tracers]] after most of the townspeople were teleported elsewhere by them, and had to fly through the wind farm to try to lose a swarm of the bugs. Back at the fire station, the Bots had their work cut out squishing bugs, though Blades managed to catch one, enabling Boulder to find a way to neutralize them. The four Bots later tracked down the cavern where the townsfolk had been teleported and rescued them all. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was hit by an infestation of what appeared to be ghosts, Blades was particularly hesitant to deal with them, having watched all fourteen ''[[Haunted Halls]]'' movies. He was especially unnerved when one manifested right inside his cockpit. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}

[[File:LittleWhiteLies Blades protects Graham.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.45|"There goes my hero. He's ordinary."]]
Blades helped search the island for Chief Burns and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] after the pair went missing, though when the trail led to the old lead mine, he was almost too worried about blood-sucking bats to go in. He, [[Graham Burns|Graham]] and Dani followed Boulder's sonar and managed to find Chase. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} The Rescue Bots were forced to be extra attentive to their cover as robots when Frankie started filming them for a school project. They stopped a swarm of earthquakes by tracking down the cause in the caves under Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Shake Up}} Following Blades's discovery of fireworks, Cody got a repulsor badge, granting the boy superhero-like powers. When the badge overloaded, trapping Cody in an energy bubble, Blades declared it his mortal enemy, as he and the other Bots worked to rescue Cody. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

Blades, the other Rescue Bots, Cody and Frankie were sent back in time to [[1939]] in a time travel accident. There they fell into the hands of a team of scientists headed by Doctor Morocco who performed experiments on them. Morocco was getting to the point of dissecting the four Bots when Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue. On returning to the present, they found that Morocco had taken over the town with the aid of his MorBots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} The four bots managed to elude the MorBots and soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past had resulted in the changed. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, including a version of Dani who didn't like flying, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}

Blades took to playing a dance video game with Frankie, once she and Doc Greene knew the Rescue Bots' secret. He assisted in the rescue of [[Taylor]], whom he was amused to note that Dani had taken a liking to, and had to rescue the other Bots when Doc Greene's [[Vacuum Accelerator]] warped them to the top of [[Mount Griffin]]. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, the four bots had to contend with Kade appointing himself new team leader, and Cody being aged into an adult in a lab experiment. Blades's attempt to salvage a crashed rocket from where it was tangled in power lines resulted in it exploding. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}

[[File:AVirtualDisaster Blades arrow to the knee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.45|"Don't the best of them bleed it out
while the rest of them peter out?"]]
He and Dani tracked an iceberg, only to discover it was actually [[S.S. Isolde|a ship]] frozen by a piece of cargo it was carrying, the [[Sub-Zero Expander]]. After accidentally getting frozen by the machine, Blades returned to base, and took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After a rescue mission where Blades became frightened of the snowy weather, Cody took Blades to the Hall of Inspiration where they played the Doc's new [[Griffin Rock Element Quest 1.0|virtual reality game]]. Inside the game, Cody taught Blades about video games, such as power-ups and boss fights, but the game bugged out when lightning struck the Hall. The bosses could hurt the two and Blades overcame his fear and gained the courage to protect Cody, much to Heatwave's surprise. The three beat the game, thanks to Blades, and were teleported out of the game. Heatwave later commented on Blades's courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}

When the rest of the team was mesmerized by cellphones, Blades escaped by virtue of being out on patrol at the time, though it did mean he and Dani had to put out a fire without Heatwave's help. They were subsequently mind-controlled as well, and forced to excavate [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was taken out. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott's reality show featuring the bots was approved by the mayor, and Blades was caught up in the idea of gaining fame. He began trying to think up catchphrases, but was disappointed when it turned out Prescott had begun manufacturing emergencies to make the show more exciting. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}}

[[File:BlameTheGremlins Blades and Dani rescue.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|"Kudos, my hero, leavin' all the best."]]
Blades took part in a rescue when Taylor's plane was stricken with an electrical fault. He and the rest of the team later had to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s conjured from Kade's nightmares. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}} When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Blades and the other Rescue Bots helped the boy hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the "Magic Meat" that Mayor Luskey had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}

A picnic Blades and Cody were helping Dani with was interrupted by the arrival of [[Woodrow Burns]]. The revelation that there was [[energon]] under the island resulted in Optimus Prime arriving, and the whole team had to go rescue Woodrow and Cody after the pair became trapped in a cavern deep underground, which ended up with Blades having to fight giant spiders. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} After Blades, Boulder and the three older siblings were separated from the others, Blades had to brave luminous fungus, pterodactyls, and giant fish as they searched for a way out. Once the team was reunited, they escaped from underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}

The Rescue Bots had to bring out their spaceship for another mission to save Graham and Doc Greene after the space elevator they were on was hit by an asteroid. {{storylink|Space Bots}} The team had to deal with a runaway [[mechanical bull]]. When a mishap occurred while transporting the creature to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]], Blades, Chase and Boulder ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}} The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}}

[[File:BuddySystem Blades scales cliff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.85|"You know my hero, the one that's on."]]
Blades finally achieved his ambition to become a [[Lad Pioneer]] when he was appointed troop mascot. Going on a nature hike, Blade was linked with Cody via [[Buddy Bracelet]]s, the keys for which were accidentally destroyed. Consequently Cody had to come along with Blades when the Rescue Bot took part in a snake hunt around town. {{storylink|Buddy System}} After an earthquake and a rash of objects being pulled into the air, Blades became convinced that invisible [[griffin]]s were to blame. He and the other Bots accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where it turned out that it was just a super-magnet causing the trouble. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}

When Chase appeared to join with Evan and Myles during their crime spree, Blades and the rest of the rescue team found themselves going against him. He later rejoined the team and the four Rescue Bots disabled the [[Tech Wrecker]] Evan and Myles had created. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, the Rescue Bots were joined in their work by [[Noble (RB)|Noble]], at least until the dogs real owner turned up to claim him. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} The team had to deal with a storm without Heatwave. When their leader returned with a second alternate mode, Blades was interested in finding out how to acquire one himself. {{storylink|Changes}}

After a sea rescue Blades took part in resulted in everyone's midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Blades and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and destroyed it. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} When Chief Burns was off the island, Woodrow ended up as part of the team. Blades found himself being used as a ramp during a rescue of the mayor, something he didn't enjoy much, though he later got to help rescue some [[dolphin]]s. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}

Blades was excited at the news that Bumblebee was coming and made plans to enjoy his friend's visit, however it turned out Bumblebee was there on a relic-finding mission. What's worse, Dani's pilot license was suspended, so unable to fly in Blades, she was partnered with Bumblebee. Though he grew jealous of the pair's growing bond, Blades was soon distracted by helping Optimus retrieve the relic from the ocean, and was later happy when Bumblebee saved Dani from quicksand. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}

[[File:RiseOfTheHeroes Blades flies underground.jpg|thumb|right|260px]]
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] and an impromptu rescue mission, Blades's attempt to watch ''[[Cupcake Hoarders]]'' was thwarted when he was lured into a trap and kidnapped by Dr Morocco. Morocco used a memory-erasing ray on him and convinced him that the doctor had been assigned as the Rescue Bots' liaison on Earth by Optimus Prime. Once the other Rescue Bots were similarly brainwashed, Morocco put Blades in charge and sent the team to a cavern under Griffin Rock to mine gold. Unfortunately Blades accidentally set off a methane explosion and when the Bots climbed out of the crater, they were confronted by the dastardly Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}

The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option. Blades was relieved to discover he wasn't team leader though. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}

[[File:BigGame Chase carries Blades.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
During a routine inspection by Optimus, Blades and Dani encountered an unexpected pterodactyl. After they captured and tagged it, the team tracked the creature back to Wayward Island where they found a whole group of dinosaurs, one of which damaged Blades's tail rotor. The team was subsequently chased into a tar pit and had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinos were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry's island to mount a rescue. After catching Blades repeatedly with nets, the hunter managed to trap the trio in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}

Following the accidental creation of four extra Kades, Blades found himself having to take them all back to the first station after their squabbling caused an accident. He later attempted to rescue the rest of the team from a gas leak, but ended up himself needing rescuing by the quintet of Kades. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the ''[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]'', however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship's hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}} After having to deal with a flooding disaster, Blades and Heatwave had to try and cover for Chase and Boulder during their mission in space. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}

[[File:Switcheroo Blades eats yogurt.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Blades and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab. Despite being injured during the chase, Blades beat Vigil to the lab along with Chase, but Vigil stuck them to the floor using the Collision Foam Cannon, leaving it to Frankie and Cody to save the day. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}} Blades attempted to help Graham gain confidence to talk to [[Amy]] via role playing. He later saved the day, using ''[[Confident Me]]'' to lure a swarm of mutant army ants to a place where they could be successfully captured. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}

During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Blades switched bodies with Dani. He binged on yogurt and potato chips, much to her disgust, and she forced him to exercise to work off the calories. For his part, he was smug when she found being a helicopter wasn't as much fun as she thought. They were eventually swapped back into their own bodies. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} Blades and the rest of the team were shrunken down to microscopic size so they could enter Kade's body and retrieve the [[scrubmite]]s he'd accidentally ingested. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Blades scanned a pterodactyl alternate mode so he and the other Rescue Bots, plus Optimus, could masquerade as the dinobots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. Unfortunately Blades then found he could no longer transform, and ended up bringing Cody along by accident when Quarry took them all to an island. As Quarry was taking the other Autobots to be sold, Blades finally found the strength to transform so that he could rescue them. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}

[[File:AttackOfHumunagado Blades pterodactyl.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Blades, that isn't a dinosaur. Stop cheating!]]
The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace, which Blades hoped would mean a visit from Bumblebee. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped "[[Ira]]" acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman's era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} The team had to cope with giant Kaiju created when Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', and ended up using their dino modes to combat the beasts. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}}

The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]], however a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}} When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town's new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}}

After the discovery that the Burns family had a pirate in their ancestry and the suspension of the rescue team, Blades took Woodrow, Cody and Dani to look for pirate treasure, though he was too big to enter the cave they were led to, and built a firehouse out of sand while he waited. Clues eventually led the team to the treasure, and they were subsequently reinstated by the mayor. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} When the Rescue Bots were assigned to training with [[High Tide]], Blades found the old bot particularly fearsome and messed up repeatedly. After taking some time to rescue a human in trouble, Blades earned a chewing out from High Tide. He later steadied an oil rig long enough for the other Rescue Bots to rescue Doc and Frankie. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When the time traveler [[Jules Verne]] visited, Blades helped apprehend Dr Morocco. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}

When the Rescue Bots found two Autobots, [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the team to train the two newcomers. Blades was unimpressed with Blurr's lying about his past, but Optimus convinced the team to let Blurr have another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} After hours of failed rescue simulations, Cody suggested more personal training for the newbies, so Blades constructed a highlight reel of his own rescues. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ship and a solar flare knocked out the island's power, Blades was reluctantly forced to fly rescues in the dark, backwards. Blurr later returned having saved the island from a rogue satellite, and was assigned elsewhere along with Salvage. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

The Rescue Bots were forced to hunt for Servo after the dog went missing in action and left a trail of destruction in his wake. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Blades joined Boulder, Chase and the kids in guarding some woodpeckers Boulder found, however they were forced to go into damage control mode when word of the discovery got out, and had to deal with a fire in Blossom Vale. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}

After Chase injured himself, Blades prescribed a week of rest off his feet, and as a result Chase took the job of dispatcher and managed to send the team on a number of false alarms. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Blades took part in a video call to educate new recruits and though reluctant, ended up singing a duet with Dani. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}

Blades and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Blades and Dani attempted to go for help, only to find that the conditions were too harsh and Heatwave had to help them return to town. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus gave them a new mission, to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

====Prevenge====
{{voiceactor|[[Parvesh Cheena]] (English)}}
Blades had been left alone back at the Rescue Bots command center when he was abducted by a mysterious force, pulled through a trans-dimensional portal to another universe. He found himself within a metallic labyrinth, where he met the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]]. Several cannons then popped up throughout the corridor, prompting Snarl to tell the Rescue Bot to draw out his swords. A bewildered Blades explained to Snarl that his blades were for flying, not fighting! Snarl picking up the slack, the duo made their way to the middle of the maze via a "graphic and expensive-looking battle sequence." Upon reaching their destination, Blades was relieved to find an authority figure in the form of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. He also met five other 'bots who had similarly been abducted from their home dimensions: [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]], [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]], [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]. Blades found them all terrifying.

A mysterious voice then made itself heard, and stated that it had brought the group together in a ploy to get revenge on the Autobots. Blades pointed out that a bunch of them weren't Autobots, and asked to be excused from the whole brouhaha. The voice declared that it didn't care about the semantics of their factions, and unleashed a "horde" of Sharkticons on them... and by a horde, it meant a single sickly and rusted Sharkticon. Embarrassed, the group's abductor ordered them to fight to the death instead of bothering with the Sharkticon. Blades had difficulty wrapping his head around the idea that someone could fight so hard with their friends or coworkers that they'd just drop dead, before it was explained to him what the voice actually meant. This only served to terrify Blades further, who pondered that this was weird way to learn a valuable lesson about responsibility and teamwork.

Annoyed that its prisoners weren't killing one another already, the voice threatened to detonate a Dark Energon bomb if they didn't get on with it. But Blades managed to bluff his captor into admitting that he didn't have a bomb, using some of the "mad scientist lingo" he had picked up around Griffin Rock. The architect behind the whole plot revealed himself to be the [[Skuxxoid]], whom Snarl dealt with in short order. The abductees, now left to devise a way to get themselves back to their homes, began to brainstorm on how to accomplish such a feat. They settled on all laughing together, as characters in cheesy cartoons are prone to do when an episode comes to an end. This, surprisingly enough, worked out. Finding himself back in Griffin Rock, Blades was puzzled over the fact that he hadn’t gotten any character building lesson out of his adventure... He decided that the only thing he learned was that weird things just happen sometimes. {{storylink|Prevenge}}

*'''Blades the Copter-Bot''' (Rescue Bot, 2011)
:Blades transforms into an orange and white rescue helicopter of a likely fictitious origin, but with design details common to several real-life helicopters. In keeping with the simplified transformations of the line, Blades can be transformed from helicopter to robot simply by twisting the knob on his propeller. His rotors are free-spinning in this mode, and the design of his tail / legs is such that he can be held by the bottom portion of the tail beneath the tail rotor. Care must be taken, however, as the free-spinning nature of his blades means that they can sometimes spin when the knob is twisted.

==Notes==
* His coloration and function are more reminiscent of [[Evac (disambiguation)|Evac]] than the traditional, Decepticon fighting interpretation of previous versions of [[Blades (disambiguation)|Blades]].
* For [[Christmas]] [[2013]], [[The Hub]] aired a special "[[My Little Pony]]: Friendship Is Magic" video yule log. This hour-long special consisted of music and cameo appearances by several characters or pieces from Hub properties in addition to the ponies themselves. Among the characters who made cameos were [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Beast Hunters Bumblebee]] (who beeped as he drove across the screen), Rescue Bots Blades (who stumbled onto the screen before being pulled back off), Strawberry Shortcake, Lil' Bat (mascot for The Aquabats), a Sorry! game piece, a character from "Pound Puppies", the main lead from "SheZow!", the Mane Six from ''MLP: FiM'' (in what can only be considered a jumpscare), and several characters from the "Littlest Pet Shop" cartoon. This special was aired back-to-back for four hours on Christmas morning, possibly as a means of giving the bulk of the network staff a chance to spend Christmas morning with their families.
* Before his new setting made it largely unnecessary, Blades functioned as the team's field medic.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute that you all think you’re the heroes of this little adventure, but—you’re not. You’re bandits. You’re the bad guys. And I...am the goddamn hero.]]

A bounty hunter by trade, '''Fracture''' has absolutely no scruples as far as what he'll do to bring in his quarry. No tactic too underhanded, no trick too dirty, and certainly no worries whatsoever about messily eliminating any competition for a bounty. Smug and self-assured, he's just in it for the monetary gain.

Naturally, this puts him at odds with rival bounty hunter [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], who ends up taking many of the same jobs as Fracture, but for (''ugh'') ''honorable'' reasons. Fracture longs for the day he can finally put that nuisance in the scrapyard and just beat the crap out of bounties in peace.

He's backed up by his two [[Mini-Con|Mini-Con]] partners, [[Airazor (RID)|Airazor]] and [[Divebomb (RID)|Divebomb]], who he can launch like missiles from his shoulders. They're most often deployed to provide distractions or mop up anyone who might get between Fracture and his prey.

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===

[[File:HuntingSeason Fracture Cybertronian vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!]]
Fracture headed to [[Earth]] to pick up the bounty on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], however [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] had had the same idea, and the pair tangled at a deserted ranch. Fracture managed to get Drift on the ropes until Bumblebee and his team joined the fight, forcing Fracture and his Mini-Cons to retreat. Using micro-drones to spy on the Autobots, Fracture was able to set a series of traps, enabling him to capture [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and [[Denny Clay|Denny]]. He attempted to use them to bargain for Bumblebee, but instead ended up fighting Drift again. Though he again defeated Drift, [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] hijacked his ship, freeing the hostages and forcing him to flee. {{storylink|Hunting Season}}

Now stranded on Earth, Fracture took on an Earth vehicle mode and joined forces with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s gang. An encounter with [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]] led the gang to confront the Autobots in a garbage dump, and an overconfident Fracture was defeated by Sideswipe. Steeljaw later managed to free the Decepticons from their cuffs and they returned to their hideout. Back at the base, Fracture expressed his doubts as to Clampdown's reliability, what with him snitching to the Autobots, but Steeljaw assured him that the crab-bot had been suitably... ''convinced'' that betraying them again would not be in his best interests. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

Fracture took part in a plan to take over the Autobots' scrapyard. It was briefly successful, with the Autobots being kept out using a subsonic field, but once they got back in, Fracture tried to face them with the other Decepticons. He squared off against Drift successfully until Drift was joined by the other Autobots, who dispensed of the rest of the Decepticon team. Defeated, Fracture later had to flee back to the hideout with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Lockout}}

:Part of the third wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' One-Step Changers, Fracture transforms from robot to chopper in just 1 easy step: Pulling the front wheel and saddle up to complete his robot mode. Secondary stock photos (pictured from the right) shows his optics were painted blue instead of red.

:This Warrior-sized mold of Fracture transforms into a Cybertronian hoverbike. Low on articulation, Fracture is constructed around his "Deployer" gimmick, a large, built-in, spring-loaded launcher which hangs off his right-hand side and can launch any torpedo-type ''Robots in Disguise'' Mini-Con figure, including his packed-in partner, [[Airazor (RID)#Toys|Airazor]]. In robot mode, pulling down on a lever on Fracture's back swings the launcher downward (whlie swinging his right arm up in a pointing move) to fire the loaded Mini-Con; in vehicle mode, it becomes his bike's sidecar, and the Mini-Con is launched by pressing a button on top of it. The launcher is designed with a "safety" switch for both modes; as a robot, his legs need to be pulled slightly apart, in vehicle mode, a button on its underside needs to be pressed in, generally accomplished by placing the toy on a flat surface. Although he is not designed to, he can also launch Cyclone Mini-Cons.

:Fracture includes tabs on his forearms design to hold Airazor's energy swords, and features a Mini-Con mounting port on his left elbow, where Airazor or any other Mini-Con can attach. His scannable [[insignia]] is on his on robot mode chest, easily scanned even in-package.

: The secondary stock photos features a [[:File:RID2015-Minicon-Deployers-Decepticon-Fracture.jpg|different deco]] compared to the final product. Some of his parts are changed to a reddish purple, and his scannable insignia is slightly enlarged.

: The Japanese ''Adventure Series'' release of Fracture, sold under the name '''Micronshooter Fracture Set''', features extensive paint applications and includes another Mini-Con... bizarrely, a redeco of [[Sandsting]] rather than the obvious choice of Divebomb. What the crap?

They woke up to a new world filled with the blocks they coveted-ex. {{storylink|Kreon Story}}

Vortex was charged with guarding the Decepticon Base, allowing no-one to pass until Megatron returned-ex.

After all, Megatron wasn't actually ''inside'' the base yet, plus he could be an impostor-ex! Vowing to give his all in his job, Vortex block-transformed a helicopter into Mega-Vortex-ex. Frustrated, Megatron called [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots to attack the base and drive the damned lookout off-ex.

Vortex was invited by [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]] into his new unit, the [[Combaticon (Kre-O)|Combaticons]], getting a new color scheme in the process-ex. Even as part of a team he insisted on staying home and guarding the base—when the Combaticons combined into [[Bruticus (Kre-O)|Bruticus]] and attacked the Autobots, he fretted and worried so much about the base's safety that the entire team agreed to come home with him and guard it together-ex. {{storylink|New Military Unit Combaticon!

'''Millions of years after the Great War started, a trio of Earth kids finds a group of deactivated Mini-Cons.'''

==Synopsis==
The war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] wages on for millions of years, with the [[Decepticon]]s quickly becoming the dominant force on the planet. The escaped [[Mini-Con]]s, meanwhile, experience some engine trouble. [[Exodus (Armada)|Their ship]] crashes into the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], with half of it breaking off and falling to [[Earth]].

Millions of years later, [[Rad White|Rad]], [[Carlos Lopez (Armada)|Carlos]], and [[Alexis Thi Dang (Armada)|Alexis]] unveil [[Project Supernova]]: a cardboard plane supported by balloons and with a dummy as a rider. Though they get it to fly, a pair of bullies pops the balloons. As Rad climbs down to look for the dummy's helmet, he falls into a crevice, finds the crashed Mini-Con ship, and accidentally activates a homing beacon that alerts both the Decepticons and the [[Autobot]]s to their presence on Earth, prompting both groups to open [[space bridge]] portals (the Decepticons to claim the Mini-Cons, and the Autobots to stop them). He also wakes up [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Street Action Team]], whom he hides in his garage despite Alexis's reservations.

The next morning, they find that not only have the Mini-Cons repaired themselves with the tools they found, but they're created a real, working version of Project Supernova. As they fly off, Sparkplug remarks that the fun has just begun, not realizing that [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] is looming right behind them.

==Notes==
[[Image:Sidandseth.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Enjoy it kids, you stop existing after this panel.]]
* Thanks to [[To sell toys#Limited casting|the few Autobot/Decepticon toys out at the time]], and because no [[generic]]s are drawn in, it seems that Megatron conquered Cybertron with just three guys and the Autobots only number five.
* Sid and Seth are basically [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]]. Why they've got different names is unknown. They're also a lot meaner than Billy and Fred would turn out to be, with Sid trying to hurt (possibly kill) a squirrel for the hell of it. What makes them more puzzling is that Billy and Fred ''later turned up'', but only for one issue and in a scene that could probably have been done with Sid and Seth.
* James Raiz originally drew the human characters in his normal style but Hasbro felt they weren't on-model. As Raiz says, "so I tried drawing it in a quasi-anime style (not a very good one) and sent it to them. Unfortunately for me – they loved it…". <ref>[http://transfans.co.uk/interviews_raiz.php Transfans.co.uk interview with James Raiz]</ref>

'''Rung's attempts to help Skids safely recover his lost memories are threatened by the unexpected return of Froid.'''

==Synopsis==
In session with [[Rung (G1)|Rung]], [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] helps the psychotherapist rebuild one of his model kits while trying to recall more of his missing memories. With Rung's aid, he is able to remember the time when an "[[anti-personal mine]]" he was attempting to defuse—a landmine built out of a living Transformer—exploded and knocked him offline, allowing him to be captured by the [[Decepticon]]s and taken to the legendary [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore prison]]. He recalls the gruesome installation of a transformation-inhibiting "[[inhibitor spike|mouth flower]]", but his memories begin to sputter out just before he can remember the identity of his cellmate. Rung congratulates him on a job well done and calls an end to the session, replacing the completed model kit on his shelf; Skids suggests that he should get some ''new'' models, but Rung explains that he only collects models of ships he has served on (justifying his model of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark-1]]'' by noting he was recalled from the crew by the [[Senate]] at the last minute). Just before Skids leaves, [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]] knocks on the door to inform Rung he has a ''very'' unexpected visitor: his old rival, [[Froid]], who Rung believed to be dead! Skids compliments Froid's set of [[Primal Beads]], and leaves the two to get reacquainted.

In the ''[[Lost Light]]'' medibay, the surprisingly-still-alive [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] receives a report on [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]]'s condition from [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]], who explains that the little 'bot has been left comatose after his spark sent a wave of energy throughout the ship, which has succeeded in awakening [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] from his own coma. [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] offers his apologies for lashing out at Tailgate, while [[Hot Rod/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] tells him that they have arrested [[Getaway]] and [[Atomizer]] for their crimes. Cyclonus is puzzled as to how they learned the pair were responsible, and Rodimus reveals he had [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgically]] obtain the information from the unconscious Tailgate—something that both Megatron and Cyclonus question the ethics of.

A tense conversation between Rung and Froid establishes that the last time they spoke was on the day [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]], a rogue mnemosurgeon turned serial killer known as the "Tetrahex Ripper", was arrested, along with his brother [[Sceptre]]. Fascinated by the case, Froid had been aboard the prison ship taking Sunder to [[Garrus 6]] when the two brothers escaped their cells and took him hostage, fleeing the vessel in a shuttle. The shuttle was destroyed and Sceptre died, but Froid escaped and settled on [[Scarvix]], where he has allegedly become something of a local celebrity. Tiring of his passive-aggressive remarks, Rung demands to know why Froid has come to the ''Lost Light''; Froid requests to look through Rung's case files, but Rung refuses, citing both doctor-patient confidentiality and Froid's tendency toward plagiarism. But Froid doesn't take no for an answer, insinuating he knows a secret about Rung's past that ''might just'' come to light if Rung doesn't acquiesce...

Down in the ship's [[oil]] reservoir, Skids tries to recall more of his time in Grindcore. With a little effort, he is able to remember that his cellmate was [[Quark]], and recalls how he removed his "mouth flower" thanks to his super-leaning abilities. Quark warned him against publically displaying such skills and told him a little about the prison and how they used to pipe music in, at which point they discovered that the prison's commandant had been listening at the door...

Rung continues to refuse Froid's request and escorts him back to his ship in the shuttle bay, where the two guards [[Kindle]] and [[Fervor]] are only too happy to see Froid leave. Rung is puzzled by their remarks, but soon discovers the reason behind them: Sunder is a prisoner aboard Froid's ship! Froid delights in explaining that he has been helping Sunder work through the loss of his brother, but Rung fears that Froid is too close to his patient. Froid scoffs at the accusation: who is Rung to talk about such things, given the secret Froid knows about him—the fact that, while serving aboard the ''Fateful Archetype'', ''Rung'' became too close to a patient and was disbarred from practising medicine by the ship's tribunal. But then the ''Archetype'' was shot down, leaving Rung as the sole survivor, able to pretend the verdict had never been given—something he had once confessed to Froid back when they were still friends. At Froid's instruction, Sunder lifts his head up to look at them, revealing a pair of eyeless sockets; Froid explains that he has removed Sunder's eyes because he is capable of remote mnemosurgery via eye-contact. Sunder feeds on repressed memories, and Froid hasn't just been helping him deal with the loss of his brother... he keeps him ''fed''. With Rung having refused to let Froid see his files so he could select some new victims, Froid intends to make Rung himself Sunder's next meal. Fortunately, Skids arrives at just that moment, having been sent a message by Rung via a remote upload of Skids's case notes. Froid rips the "Primal Beads" from around his neck and tosses them toward Sunder: in truth, they are not beads, but the murderer's plucked-out eyes! Sunder inserts them back into his sockets, and turns his unholy ability against the two Autobots, starting with Skids...

...whose memories race back to Grindcore once again, right where they left off, and the door of his cell opens to reveal that the prison commandant is [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]]!!

==Quotes==
"No one loves the '''moral high ground''' as much as you. Wouldn't it be '''awful''' if you had to '''vacate''' it after all this time?"
:—'''Froid''' threatens Rung

"After his arrest, Sunder took his skills to the next level: '''remote mnemosurgery.''' He can access your memories just by '''looking at you.''' He says memories have a '''flavor'''—the '''darker''' the memory, the '''sweeter''' the taste. And the sweetest ones are the ones we lock away. The ones we '''bury.'''"
:—'''Froid'''

"'''Look''' at you all! So '''young'''! So thin-winged and bow-legged and blood-warm and '''new.''' And me... a mess of '''angles''' and '''frequencies''' of '''sour light''' and '''brown noise''' and—oh! The '''smell''' of you! You '''stink of sin.''' You '''reek''' of what you've done—and what you'd do '''again''' if only you could overcome the '''shame''' of it all."
:—'''Sunder'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Skids notes that his capture occurred not long after the oft-mentioned [[Simanzi Massacre]]; he is able to recall this fact because he can remember that "the ground still burned [his] feet." Among the many tidbits we've learned about the Simanzi Massacre was that it caused the planet to become superheated, and that it took years for it to cool back down, as recounted by Megatron in [[The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|issue #27]].
*There's a 'bot among the Decepticons at Grindcore who is drawn with the body design of [[Dreadwing (G2)|''Generation 2'' Dreadwing]] from [[Drift issue 1|''Drift'' #1]], but colored like [[Dreadwind (G1)|Generation 1 Dreadwin'''''d''''']]. With the similarity of their names, it's very easy to imagine a mix-up happening, but it's impossible to tell whether he's supposed to be the former character mistakenly colored like the latter, or the latter character deliberately sharing a body-type with the former.
*Most of the Decepticons at Grindcore who have previously appeared in present-day stories in IDW continuity are ones who died in those stories. [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] and [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] died in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]''; [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] met his end in [[Stormbringer issue 3|''Stormbringer'' #3]]; and [[Flywheels]] ate it in [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|''More Than Meets the Eye'' #8]]. [[Charger]] and [[Take-Off]] have only appeared previously in the set-in-the-past ''[[The Transformers: Drift|Drift]]'' mini-series as [[Turmoil]]'s troops, where Dreadwing first appeared (conversely, if he's supposed to be Dreadwin''d'', he's also dead in the present day, as of [[All His Engines|issue #7]] of the [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 ongoing series]]). It was also in the ''Drift'' mini-series that a corpse that ''might'' have been [[Glit (KP)|Glit]] showed up, but that was an easter-egg reference to [[Ravage (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Ravage]] and might not count for much. [[Octus (G1)|Octus]] and [[Wingthing (G1)|Wingthing]] have not appeared in the IDW continuity before.
*Grindcore prison makes its first on-panel appearance after being mentioned in several previous issues.
*Flywheels has a set of Primal Beads, in-keeping with the religiosity he showed during his previous appearances in the series.
*As pointed out in a footnote, Chromedome discovered Skids's repressed memories and refused to unearth them in issue #8. The one thing Skids learned in that issue was that the song stuck in his head was "[[The Empyrean Suite]]", which is about to take on greater meaning...
*The ''Lost Light'' now has a [[transwarp|subspace]] hatch in medibay, which is how Skids suggests Rung get some new models sent over. The existence of this hatch was concurrently established by ''[[The Transformers Holiday Special]]'', released the same day as this issue.
*Froid's rise in popularity and the accompanying dwindling of Rung's reputation were previously remarked on in the prose story, "[[Signal to Noise]]", as was Froid's apparent death.
*Back in [[The Sensuous Frame|issue #41]], [[Nautica]] related how Rung had made a comment about the authorship of Froid's work "Conflict of Interest: Psychotherapy and Perpetual War" which she interpreted as an inference that Rung had ghost-written it. Given Rung's remark here, it seems much more likely that he was actually implying that ''Froid'' had plagiarized it from ''him''.
*We learned that Quark was incarcerated at Grindcore in [[Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|issue #38]].
*Quark tells Skids that music used to be played in Grindcore, at which point Tarn arrives and mentions that is it only played when they have something to celebrate. With these twin revelations, it becomes apparent that the music must be the "The Empyrean Suite", "theme song" of the [[Decepticon Justice Division]], and that his experiences in Grindcore are the reason that Skids had the song in his head. The tune had already implied a connection between Skids and Tarn that [[The Permanent Revolution|issue #39]] confirmed... looks like the puzzle is about to be solved!

===Transformers references===
*The Transformer in the anti-personal mine is (was!) named [[Heavytread (disambiguation)|Heavy Tread]], a name shared by several 'bots. It's hard to know if Roberts had a specific one in mind when he wrote the scene, but Sakamoto has drawn the [[Heavy Tread|Micromaster Heavy Tread]], though he has a different color scheme to his original toy.
*The Decepticons at Grindcore are all wielding the trident weapon that came with the 2010 [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]] toy.

===Real-life references===
*This two-parter takes its title from the {{w|Vladimir Nabokov}} novel, ''{{w|Speak, Memory}}''.
*Given that Rung served aboard it, the ''Fateful Archetype'' may take its name from the concept of {{w|Jungian archetypes}}.

===Errors===
*Page 1: "A explosive device" should be "an explosive device."
*In the final panel of page 4, there's a word balloon mix-up, with a conversation clearly meant to be between two people depicted as a three-way conversation.
*Both of Cyclonus's horns are intact in this story, when a chunk got blasted off one the climax of the previous issue. We wouldn't normally draw attention to something quite so inconsequential—it's just a product of two artists drawing the two separate issues and choosing to represent the precise extent of Cyclonus's damage differently—but it stands out due to fact previous story points have prominently focused on Cyclonus's horns and his [[Clavis Aurea|religious stance]] on replacing body parts. And yeah, it was his ''original'' horn that got damaged, not Tailgate's replacement!
*Froid's line to Skids about losing his faith on page 7 is repeated on page 8 in Velocity's dialogue to Cyclonus. This error is absent from the digital edition, though.
*Page 9: One of Cyclonus's word balloons has its left edge sliced off.
*Skids's Matrix tattoo is missing its "handles" on the final page.

'''Rail Racer''' is the combined form of [[Team Bullet Train]]. He's basically kickass and you can't hope to beat him.

Rail Racer is composed of:

* [[Railspike (RID)|Railspike]] (leader)
* [[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]]
* [[Rapid Run (RID)|Rapid Run]]

==Fiction==
===2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[David Lodge]] (English), [[Hisashi Izumi|Shōji Izumi]] (Japanese)|[[Jorge Ornelas]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}

[[File:Bullet Train Rescue Optimusrailracer.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Optimus shows Rail Racer the secret combiner handshake]]
Team Bullet Train formed Rail Racer for the first time to fight [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] after saving the Linear RFG train. As the [[Autobot Brothers]] watched in awe, Rail Racer proceeded to see Megatron off, stating that he can't stand anyone who blows up railway tracks. {{storylink|Bullet Train to the Rescue}} Rail Racer saw Megatron off again when the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] leader attacked [[Metro City]], although on that occasion it turned out that the attack had been a diversion while [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] carried out a mission elsewhere. {{storylink|The Secret of the Ruins}}

Team Bullet Train formed Rail Racer for the highly important task of watching Grandpa steam off into the distance. {{storylink|Secret Weapon: D-5}}

When Rail Racer attempted to fight the [[Commando (RID)|Commandos]], they responded by forming [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], much to the surprise of all Autobots present. Ruination quickly took the upper hand, but the Autobot Brothers lent a hand and Rail Racer was then able to use their Ultra Blast to blow Ruination apart. {{storylink|Commandos}}

[[File:The Fish Test Rail Racer.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|DOOJ!]]
Rail Racer also defended a power plant against the Decepticons, {{storylink|The Fish Test}} but the second time he faced Ruination was when the Commandos stole some energy from the East Power Station. While the pair were grappling, the [[Build Team (RID)|Build Team]] siphoned off the stolen energy and let Rail Racer know it was safe to retreat. The Decepticons were not pleased. {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}

After the Autobot Brothers had been taken hostage, Optimus was led to a remote location, where the Decepticons told him his troops were being held. Predictably enough, it was a trap, and the Decepticons attacked the Autobot leader once he was alone. Team Bullet Train rushed in to help their leader, combining into Rail Racer once on location. However, Scourge warned that if the Autobots were to resist, harm would come to the three brothers. Rail Racer was forced to do nothing as he and Optimus took the full brunt of the Decepticons' assault. Thankfully, Ultra Magnus rescued the brothers and came in to help fight Megatron and his troops.{{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}}

[[File:Maximus Emerges Rail Racer.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|I can't see my own feet. :(]]
Landfill and Rail Racer finally fought side-by-side in order to protect [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] from the Decepticon forces {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} and later fought Ruination at length while the Build Team hid the giant robot in Metro City. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}} They again fought a protracted battle when the Decepticons located [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]] and activated Maximus. The Autobot forces were finally able to see the Decepticons off when [[Koji Onishi]] commanded Maximus to halt. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

[[File:Final Battle Landfill Rail Racer.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|"Wait, is that an explosion or just streaky anime lines?"]]
After the Decepticons located the Autobot base, they were lured to a predetermined location where the entire Autobot force was waiting in ambush. The arrival of the "[[Megastar]]" turned the tide in favour of the Decepticons, and Rail Racer attempted to attack it from below but was blown back by a barrage of missiles. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} His attempts to prevent Galvatron drain energy from Fortress Maximus also failed, and Team Bullet Train separated in order to beat a hasty retreat. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} The final formation of Rail Racer came when the Autobots moved to defend [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] from the Decepticons. They were able to shield Optimus from Galvatron's paralysing ray long enough for their leader to recover and return with [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|reinforcements]]. During the decisive battle between [[Omega Prime]] and Galvatron, all of the Autobots were held in a paralysed state by the Decepticon leader, but were freed when Galvatron was defeated by Omega Prime. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

===Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?===
Rail Racer was seen via [[T-AI (RID)|T-AI]]'s viewscreen, presumably on a mission since the Autobots had spread their forces thin. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In some [[universal stream]]s, such as [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]], [[Dominus Trannis]] was the result of Rail Racer being reformatted by the [[Robo-Smasher]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

*'''JRX''' (Multi-pack, 2000)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-015'''

: Rail Racer combines Railspike as the upper torso and arms, Rapid Run as the mid-torso and backpack, and Midnight Express as the legs of one large robot. He carries Rapid Run's shield/launcher as well as a large cannon formed from both Railspike and Midnight Express' weapons. Rail Racer (or rather, JRX) could be assembled by buying the three individual Bullet Trains, though all three members of Team Bullet Train were also available in a complete box set in Japan.

: There are significant differences between the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] and [[Hasbro]] versions of Rail Racer. The Takara version has several portions cast in transparent plastic to give him clear windows, requiring extensive [[Paint operation|paint applications]] to blend in. The Hasbro version released in 2001 replaced the transparent plastics with opaques to cut back on the number of needed paint applications. There were also several smaller changes made to the individual components (detailed on their individual pages).

Rail Racer holds the unique distinction of being the first [[combiner]] to have no external combiner [[kibble]].

{{--}}

==Notes==
* The Takara versions of the Bullet Trains appear to have had a particularly bad run of quality control regarding the paint applications, with many having sloppily-applied decos. While the individually-packaged Bullet Trains came in clear-window packages to see the toys, the box set was completely windowless, so it was kind of a crap shoot as to the quality of paint you got with the set.
* Reportedly, the Bullet Trains, which were developed with Takara's very flexible pricing structure, really did not fit into Hasbro's more rigid existing price-points, budget-wise. They cost too much to be sold as Deluxes, but weren't really up to Mega-costs.
* In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|cartoon]], Rail Racer sometimes refers to itself as "we", which opens up questions on how much of an emergent personality this combined form has compared to previous Generation 1 [[combiner]]s.
* Coincidentally, Rail Racer was released around the same time as the Grand Liner, a set of trains that combine into a massive robot in the competing ''Super Sentai'' line. (''Power Rangers'' fans may know it as the Supertrain Megazord.)
* His individual component's names (J-5, J-7, and J-4) are based on their respective bullet train models ([[wikipedia:500 Series Shinkansen|J500 Series]], [[wikipedia:700 Series Shinkansen|J700 Series]], and [[wikipedia:E4 Series Shinkansen|E4 Max Series]]).
* An abandoned [[OTFCC 2004]]-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Rail Racer would have been named "[[Dominus Trannis]]". While not the same character as the original [[Trannis]], his name was inspired by that character. "[[Astrotrain (RID)|Astrotrain]]" and "[[Steamhammer (RID)|Steamhammer]]" were decided upon as names for two of the components and "[[Loco (RID)|Loco]]" or "Cowcatcher" were considered for the third. Both [[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]] and [[Starcatcher|Cowcatcher]] went on to inspire names for later official toy releases.
** In 2015, the Facebook version of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would canonize these characters in fiction.
