'''Hound''' is a technical specialist and highly experienced [[Autobot]] commando. Hound throws himself into every mission with no more worries than a duck landing on a pond. Despite this, he is good friends with the far more relaxed [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]], although his buddy's flip attitude and refusal to take anything seriously sometimes get on Hound's nerves in grave situations.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Ross]]

Hound was among the Autobots who accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to [[Earth]] in response to a signal from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] alerting them to the presence of the [[AllSpark|All Spark]] on the planet. After being informed by Bumblebee's human companion [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam Witwicky]] that the lost [[Decepticon]] leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was also on Earth, Prime dispatched Hound and his close friend [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] to investigate the Arctic cavern in which Megatron's body was originally uncovered. Taking some drones with them, Hound and Trailbreaker discovered that the Decepticons [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] had had the same idea. As Megatron's body had already been moved by [[Sector Seven]] anyway, Hound and Trailbreaker had nothing to lose by planting bombs in the cavern, hoping to entomb the two Decepticons in ice. Unfortunately, the two villains escaped at the last minute, having discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones to Earth with him to help search for the All Spark—drones which were currently lying dormant around the Earth.

Shockwave brought Megatron's drone army back on line soon after, and they attacked the Autobots en route to [[Hoover Dam]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] forced the origin of the drones from a defeated Thundercracker, and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] quickly concocted a virus that would send them back into sleep mode. Hound and Trailbreaker were charged with getting the virus transmitted into a satellite so that it could be broadcast to all the drones at once, and they broke into a communications center belonging to "The Corporation" (apparently a Sector Seven front company) to use their communications dish. Decepticon drones dogged their every step, blowing up the first dish they found and forcing them to move to the complex's airstrip to find another. Unfortunately, the drones cut off the power supply to this dish, requiring Hound to power it up manually while Trailbreaker uploaded the virus. "Uploading the virus", for some inexplicably ''bizarre'' reason, involved Trailbreaker violently attacking the dish control panel, causing both it and the dish to explode, hurling Hound's body across the complex. The virus was successfully transmitted to the drones, knocking them offline, but at the cost of Hound's life. With the last of his strength, Hound asked Trailbreaker if the plan worked, but he died in Trailbreaker's arms before his friend could answer.

It really sucks to be Hound. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

'''The Autobots question a captured enemy for information regarding Megatron's plans.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] explains to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] that the combination of elements in the [[cyber-matter]] that was accidentally created in his lab would allow them to [[Eco-structuring|cyberform]] entire planets. [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] mocks what sounds like another "Shockwave plan", until Shockwave grabs him with an angry reminder about how Starscream recently left him to the mercy of the [[Autobot]]s. Megatron does not object as Shockwave forces Starscream's face closer and closer to a jagged protrusion of cyber-matter. Scrambling for a defense, Starscream notes that his actions made their current situation possible. Shockwave accepts the logic of this and lets Starscream go. Without missing a beat, Megatron asks Shockwave why the cyber-matter appears so chaotic, and the scientist pledges to correct the instability of the elements. Megatron notes that they will require a launch mechanism from which to use the cyber-matter, and declares that they will focus their resources on reconstructing the [[Omega Lock]].

[[File:MinusOne-UltraMagnus.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Oh no! My Me Time hand!]]

At the [[Hangar E|Autobot base]], [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] finishes his repair of [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]]' mangled right hand. Due to a lack of equipment and spare parts, the repair consists of an unsightly hook appendage that Ratchet says will be functional, but potentially unfit for battle. [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] tries to assure [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] that Ultra Magnus will overcome this setback. [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] bets that the hook will become Magnus' signature, making a comparison to [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s [[voice box]] that the scout doesn't appreciate. Bumblebee buzzes angrily and storms off. [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] explains to [[Miko Nakadai (Prime)|Miko]] and [[Jack Darby (Prime)|Jack]] that Bumblebee still misses the sound of his old voice. [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] tries to lighten the mood by focusing on the defeat of the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] cloning project, but [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] reminds them all of [[Predaking (Prime)|the Predacon who recently revealed his abilities in transformation]].

Aboard the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', Megatron tells Predaking that they will soon punish the Autobots for destroying his brethren. Predaking vows that revenge will come, but that Project Predacon was only ever a starting point. He says that if Megatron truly wishes to restore [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], this should include resurrecting the entire Predacon race from the remains that lie there, so that Predaking can lead them against their shared enemies. Megatron regards this request with skepticism.

Shockwave reports that they've salvaged the wreckage of the Omega Lock, but that the damage was severe, and Earth technology will be needed to retrofit its systems. Megatron orders Starscream to acquire whatever materials Shockwave requires.

The next day, [[William Fowler|Fowler]] reports that [[Decepticon]]s stole twenty tons of control rods from a nuclear plant during the night. Optimus wonders gravely what they're attempting to build.

Shockwave reports to Megatron that the [[Synthetic Energon|synthetic energon]] formula provided by [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] is incomplete, resulting in the instability of the cyber-matter. Megatron tells him to complete it quickly, citing the need for enough cyber-matter to restore Cybertron and cyberform [[Earth]]. Shockwave respectfully asks what the logic is in ruling two planets, to which Megatron replies that the two are linked, one [[Unicron]] and the other [[Primus]], and to rule only one would be ruling neither.

Fowler reports another Decepticon theft in progress. Ratchet opens a [[GroundBridge]], but stops Ultra Magnus when he tries to go through, citing the need for further rehabilitation. Optimus says that Ratchet has the final word in medical matters, to which Ultra Magnus reluctantly agrees. Wheeljack watches the exchange with discomfort.

[[File:MinusOne-staredown.jpg|right|thumb|300px|So, you Autobots about ready to give up yet?]]

The Autobots arrive on the scene and immediately advance on squad of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s, who are carrying away their spoils. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] emerges from the sky in alt-form, opening a GroundBridge directly in front of the retreating Vehicons. [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] is deployed, and Optimus transforms and takes to the air with his jet pack to engage them both. The Vehicons escape through the bridge, but Optimus' gatling gun is able to bring Soundwave crashing to the ground. Laserbeak escapes, and Optimus contacts Ratchet to let him know they will be returning with a prisoner.

At the Autobot base, Soundwave finds himself secured to a table. Ratchet notes that the base's shielding will prevent the Decepticon from contacting his ship. Wheeljack gleefully says that they have all the time in the world to make Soundwave talk, and Miko wonders if he even does talk.

On the ''Nemesis'', Starscream asks Megatron if he's worried about what the captive Soundwave might say. Megatron states his confidence in Soundwave's ability to withhold information.

[[File:Soundwave Mocks.jpg|thumb|left|I punch those numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face.|250px]]
Optimus asks Soundwave why the Decepticons have been stealing human technology. Soundwave mockingly plays back a remix of the question set to music, and punctuates it with a smiley face emoticon on his visor. Optimus threatens a less civil method of interrogation, and Soundwave broadcasts a sonic pulse throughout the room that causes humans and Autobots alike to double over in pain. Ratchet angrily suggests opening Soundwave up to get the information they need, but the Decepticon responds by erasing data directly from his own drives. With a final taunt spoken in his own voice, he says, "Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior." His visor blinks out and he slumps down on the table, off-line. An astonished Ratchet reports that the Decepticon's vital signs are stable, but that he crashed his own drives rather than allow them to be read.

Shockwave locates the only item on Earth with enough raw tonnage to power the rebuilt Omega Lock; a particle collider synchrotron. However, his efforts to complete the synthetic energon formula have met with less success. Megatron recalls that Knock Out obtained the formula from Ratchet, and muses that the simplest solution is to recruit him. Shockwave says that Laserbeak can upload the order to Soundwave after reconnecting with him, but Starscream notes that they don't know the location of the Autobot base. Shockwave recalls that Soundwave kept surveillance records on all the Autobots' human allies, not just the children.

From his car phone, Fowler tells Optimus that he's on his way to a meeting with [[Bryce|General Bryce]] about the recent Decepticon heists, and that he'll be back to the base as soon as possible. Behind the car, Laserbeak follows from the sky.

Megatron orders Predaking to be present at the Decepticons' next objective, as they expect the Autobots will interfere. Predaking says that he looks forward to facing the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] again. This cavalier attitude enrages Megatron, who screams at the Predacon about their dwindling forces. Predaking merely states that he will have to fight twice as hard.

On his way back to the base, Fowler contacts the Autobots and reports that the Decepticons are attacking the Solaris particle collider project at the South Pole. Optimus readies the Autobots for action. Ratchet attempts to hold Ultra Magnus back again, but Wheeljack declares that the commander is ready. Wearily, Ratchet relents and opens a GroundBridge. Optimus commands Bulkhead and Smokescreen to stay behind and help Ratchet guard Soundwave, then he and the others depart. While the younger Bots comment on the prone Decepticon, Ratchet wonders what Megatron wants with a device powerful enough to open a [[black hole]].

Outside, Fowler parks in front of the base, still followed by Laserbeak.

It dawns on Ratchet that enough power to swallow a world could also be enough power to create one. He contacts Optimus at the South Pole and relays his suspicion that Megatron plans to rebuild the Omega Lock. He wonders if they should let him, but Optimus knows Megatron will use the Lock to cyberform Earth as well as Cybertron. Disappointed, Ratchet says he understands.

Just then, Predaking strikes from the sky, firing blasts of flame breath that send the Autobots scattering. Optimus returns fire and orders the Autobots to stop the Decepticons from obtaining the collider while he faces the Predacon alone. As the Autobots race to the Solaris building, Optimus draws his gatling gun and engages in an aerial duel with the Predacon. Optimus pours on the firepower, but is unable to keep the beast at bay. With a final, savage swipe of his tail, Predaking sends Optimus crashing down to the ground far below.

Inside the building, the other Autobots find a squad of Vehicons lying in wait for them. As the two groups exchange fire, Shockwave oversees the retrieval of the particle collider in the next room.

At the Autobot base, Smokescreen is trying to convince Ratchet that they'll restore Cybertron somehow when Fowler walks in. He is followed a moment later by Laserbeak crashing through the window. The [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]'s lasers keep the Autobots at bay long enough for him to sever Soundwave's bonds. Smokescreen returns fire, hitting Laserbeak's wing, but is unable to prevent the bird from reuniting with his master. Soundwave springs back to life and effortlessly dispatches Smokescreen, Bulkhead, and Fowler with his tentacles before advancing on Ratchet.

==Quotes==
"Master! Are you going to allow one lieutenant to harm another? Master?!" 
"I'm thinking."
:—'''Starscream''' discovers that '''Megatron''' has been reading The Hands-Off Manager.

"I am tempted to force you to share my perception of things."
:—'''Shockwave''' really hates or really loves having one eye, as he tells Starscream.

"Exemplary teamwork."
:—'''Megatron''', after Starscream convinces Shockwave not to share his perspective.

"It has taken me quite some time to fully comprehend that Earth and Cybertron have always been linked. Two halves of one whole; Primus and Unicron. And that to rule only one, would be to never truly rule either."
:—'''Megatron''' on the significance of Earth.

"Whoa. Optimus Prime, the remix."
:—'''Miko''' comments on Soundwave's DJ skills.

''"Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior."''
:—'''Soundwave''' trolls the Autobots G1 style before taking the Cybertronian cyanide pill.

"Can't we throw a tarp over him? He's creeping me out." 
"Yeah, it's like he's watching. No matter where you go."
:—'''Bulkhead''' and '''Smokescreen''' are intimidated even by a deactivated Soundwave.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*After the Vehicons get away during the Autobots first call out, the other Autobots sit motionless in vehicle mode while Optimus engages Soundwave and Laserbeak, only transforming after Soundwave is shot down. What are they doing?
*[[Captain Fanzone's car|Fowler must have a bunch of the same car.]] It was wrecked back in "[[Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime]]", but the one he's seen driving sports the same [[license plate]].
*Smokescreen damages Laserbeak's wing, but the damage disappears once Laserbeak reattaches to Soundwave.

===Continuity notes===
* The [[Omega Lock]] was destroyed by Optimus the last time Megatron tried using it to cyberform Earth, in "[[Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour]]".
* Ratchet managed to give Ultra Magnus a replacement hand (well, claw), which was mangled by [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] in the [[Evolution|previous episode]].
* The story of how Bumblebee lost his vocoder was established in "[[Operation Bumblebee, Part 1]]" and the novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]''.
* Megatron recalls how the formula for synthetic energon was collected from Ratchet in "[[Stronger, Faster]]".
* Unicron was discovered to be buried within the Earth in "[[One Shall Rise, Part 1]]".
* The Decepticons tried to extract the location of the Autobot base from Fowler in "[[Darkness Rising, Part 3]]".
* Ultra Magnus still wears the back hook for the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] as Optimus used for the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], the latter having been made by Ratchet in "[[Alpha/Omega]]".
* Optimus has learned his lesson about letting Laserbeak sneak up behind him as he did in "[[Project Predacon]]".

===Transformers references===
* Speaking with his own voice for the first time in the entire series, Soundwave paraphrases one of his most famous lines, directly from the [[The Transformers: The Movie|1986 movie]]. His voice is the same Dr. Claw-esque tone used for his [[Soundwave (ROTF)|live-action counterpart]] in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] films. The Soundwave from ''Transformers Animated'' states the same line only backwards, "Autobots inferior, Soundwave superior," in the episode "[[Human Error, Part I]]", and Aligned Soundwave previously uttered it in the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game.

===Trivia===
*Ultra Magnus appears unable to use the blaster in his right arm with his hand destroyed. This is similar to Animated [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] who could not use his hand if his wrecking ball cable was severed.
*Fowler wields a fire extinguisher against Soundwave, previously Jack's weapon of choice in both "[[Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap]]" and "[[Convoy (episode)|Convoy]]".
*The particle collider base has halls high enough to accommodate Transformers.
*Transformers rear-view mirrors in their vehicle modes function as [[Sensors|optical sensors]]. This has previously been seen in episodes such as "[[Darkness Rising, Part 1]]" and "[[Speed Metal]]".
*This is the last episode of the series to use an opening theme; all following episodes only show the show's title and the showrunners' names much like the pilot.
*UK TV guides for this episode incorrectly call Soundwave Shockwave.

However, his efforts to complete the synthetic energon formula have met with less success. Megatron recalls that Knock Out obtained the formula from Ratchet, and muses that the simplest solution is to recruit him. Shockwave says that Laserbeak can upload the order to Soundwave after reconnecting with him, but Starscream notes that they don't know the location of the Autobot base. Shockwave recalls that Soundwave kept surveillance records on all the Autobots' human allies, not just the children.

From his car phone, Fowler tells Optimus that he's on his way to a meeting with [[Bryce|General Bryce]] about the recent Decepticon heists, and that he'll be back to the base as soon as possible. Behind the car, Laserbeak follows from the sky.

Megatron orders Predaking to be present at the Decepticons' next objective, as they expect the Autobots will interfere. Predaking says that he looks forward to facing the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] again. This cavalier attitude enrages Megatron, who screams at the Predacon about their dwindling forces. Predaking merely states that he will have to fight twice as hard.

On his way back to the base, Fowler contacts the Autobots and reports that the Decepticons are attacking the Solaris particle collider project at the South Pole. Optimus readies the Autobots for action. Ratchet attempts to hold Ultra Magnus back again, but Wheeljack declares that the commander is ready. Wearily, Ratchet relents and opens a GroundBridge. Optimus commands Bulkhead and Smokescreen to stay behind and help Ratchet guard Soundwave, then he and the others depart. While the younger Bots comment on the prone Decepticon, Ratchet wonders what Megatron wants with a device powerful enough to open a [[black hole]].

Outside, Fowler parks in front of the base, still followed by Laserbeak.

It dawns on Ratchet that enough power to swallow a world could also be enough power to create one. He contacts Optimus at the South Pole and relays his suspicion that Megatron plans to rebuild the Omega Lock. He wonders if they should let him, but Optimus knows Megatron will use the Lock to cyberform Earth as well as Cybertron. Disappointed, Ratchet says he understands.

Just then, Predaking strikes from the sky, firing blasts of flame breath that send the Autobots scattering. Optimus returns fire and orders the Autobots to stop the Decepticons from obtaining the collider while he faces the Predacon alone. As the Autobots race to the Solaris building, Optimus draws his gatling gun and engages in an aerial duel with the Predacon. Optimus pours on the firepower, but is unable to keep the beast at bay. With a final, savage swipe of his tail, Predaking sends Optimus crashing down to the ground far below.

Inside the building, the other Autobots find a squad of Vehicons lying in wait for them. As the two groups exchange fire, Shockwave oversees the retrieval of the particle collider in the next room.

At the Autobot base, Smokescreen is trying to convince Ratchet that they'll restore Cybertron somehow when Fowler walks in. He is followed a moment later by Laserbeak crashing through the window. The [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]'s lasers keep the Autobots at bay long enough for him to sever Soundwave's bonds. Smokescreen returns fire, hitting Laserbeak's wing, but is unable to prevent the bird from reuniting with his master. Soundwave springs back to life and effortlessly dispatches Smokescreen, Bulkhead, and Fowler with his tentacles before advancing on Ratchet.

==Quotes==
"Master! Are you going to allow one lieutenant to harm another? Master?!" 
"I'm thinking."
:—'''Starscream''' discovers that '''Megatron''' has been reading The Hands-Off Manager.

"I am tempted to force you to share my perception of things."
:—'''Shockwave''' really hates or really loves having one eye, as he tells Starscream.

"Exemplary teamwork."
:—'''Megatron''', after Starscream convinces Shockwave not to share his perspective.

"It has taken me quite some time to fully comprehend that Earth and Cybertron have always been linked. Two halves of one whole; Primus and Unicron. And that to rule only one, would be to never truly rule either."
:—'''Megatron''' on the significance of Earth.

"Whoa. Optimus Prime, the remix."
:—'''Miko''' comments on Soundwave's DJ skills.

''"Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior."''
:—'''Soundwave''' trolls the Autobots G1 style before taking the Cybertronian cyanide pill.

"Can't we throw a tarp over him? He's creeping me out." 
"Yeah, it's like he's watching. No matter where you go."
:—'''Bulkhead''' and '''Smokescreen''' are intimidated even by a deactivated Soundwave.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*After the Vehicons get away during the Autobots first call out, the other Autobots sit motionless in vehicle mode while Optimus engages Soundwave and Laserbeak, only transforming after Soundwave is shot down. What are they doing?
*[[Captain Fanzone's car|Fowler must have a bunch of the same car.]] It was wrecked back in "[[Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime]]", but the one he's seen driving sports the same [[license plate]].
*Smokescreen damages Laserbeak's wing, but the damage disappears once Laserbeak reattaches to Soundwave.

===Continuity notes===
* The [[Omega Lock]] was destroyed by Optimus the last time Megatron tried using it to cyberform Earth, in "[[Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour]]".
* Ratchet managed to give Ultra Magnus a replacement hand (well, claw), which was mangled by [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] in the [[Evolution|previous episode]].
* The story of how Bumblebee lost his vocoder was established in "[[Operation Bumblebee, Part 1]]" and the novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus]]''.
* Megatron recalls how the formula for synthetic energon was collected from Ratchet in "[[Stronger, Faster]]".
* Unicron was discovered to be buried within the Earth in "[[One Shall Rise, Part 1]]".
* The Decepticons tried to extract the location of the Autobot base from Fowler in "[[Darkness Rising, Part 3]]".
* Ultra Magnus still wears the back hook for the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] as Optimus used for the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], the latter having been made by Ratchet in "[[Alpha/Omega]]".
* Optimus has learned his lesson about letting Laserbeak sneak up behind him as he did in "[[Project Predacon]]".

===Transformers references===
* Speaking with his own voice for the first time in the entire series, Soundwave paraphrases one of his most famous lines, directly from the [[The Transformers: The Movie|1986 movie]]. His voice is the same Dr. Claw-esque tone used for his [[Soundwave (ROTF)|live-action counterpart]] in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] films. The Soundwave from ''Transformers Animated'' states the same line only backwards, "Autobots inferior, Soundwave superior," in the episode "[[Human Error, Part I]]", and Aligned Soundwave previously uttered it in the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game.

===Trivia===
*Ultra Magnus appears unable to use the blaster in his right arm with his hand destroyed. This is similar to Animated [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] who could not use his hand if his wrecking ball cable was severed.
*Fowler wields a fire extinguisher against Soundwave, previously Jack's weapon of choice in both "[[Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap]]" and "[[Convoy (episode)|Convoy]]".
*The particle collider base has halls high enough to accommodate Transformers.
*Transformers rear-view mirrors in their vehicle modes function as [[Sensors|optical sensors]]. This has previously been seen in episodes such as "[[Darkness Rising, Part 1]]" and "[[Speed Metal]]".
*This is the last episode of the series to use an opening theme; all following episodes only show the show's title and the showrunners' names much like the pilot.
*UK TV guides for this episode incorrectly mention Shockwave being interrogated by the Autobots.

[[Image:Thrilling30.png|300px|center]]

'''''Thrilling 30''''' is the overall title given to [[Hasbro]]'s promotional campaign in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand]] in [[2014]]. Beginning in mid-[[2013]], the campaign aims to celebrate the history of the brand, with a large number of [[Fandom|collector]]-orientated [[homage]] toys released under the banner.

==''Generations''==
In mid-2013, the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline was refreshed to sport the ''Thrilling 30'' logo and returned to a focus on "''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-style" reimaginings of past characters. Although initially focusing on physical translations of [[IDW Publishing]] comic designs, the line would quickly expand to star toys based on other franchises such as ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)

2014-05-12T16:13:07Z

KirbyForce1: /* Toys"R"Us */

{{Nav-aoe}}

The '''''Transformers: Age of Extinction''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|fourth film]] in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]].

Unlike the toy lines of the previous three films, this line is divided into two distinct series:
*"Robots in Disguise", a series of simpler, more [[gimmick]]y toys aimed towards younger children. Included in this series are the non-transforming [[Titan Heroes]] figures.
*An ''Age of Extinction''-specific version of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'', featuring more complex and [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] toys aimed towards older children and adult collectors.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)

2014-05-12T16:07:33Z

KirbyForce1: /* Generations (Series M4) */

{{Nav-aoe}}

The '''''Transformers: Age of Extinction''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|fourth film]] in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]].

Unlike the toy lines of the previous three films, this line is divided into two distinct series:
*"Robots in Disguise", a series of simpler, more [[gimmick]]y toys aimed towards younger children. Included in this series are the non-transforming [[Titan Heroes]] figures.
*An ''Age of Extinction''-specific version of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'', featuring more complex and [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] toys aimed towards older children and adult collectors.

Shellformer

KirbyForce1: /* Notable shellformers */ Does he count?

{{disambig2|toys that have lots of kibble|toys from a long time ago that still haven't been sold|Shelfwarmer}}
[[Image:BWN-toy Break.jpg|right|400px|thumb|The robot is the prize inside. No refunds.]]
'''Shellformer''' is a fandom term for a [[Toy|Transformer]] that transforms by "unpeeling" [[kibble|pieces of one form]] to reveal the other form inside. Literally, the majority of the [[alternate mode]] is a "shell" that closes completely (or close enough) around the robot parts, with the robot mode having very little genuine integration of the alternate-mode parts.

In some of the most extreme cases, such as the ones pictured on this page, one can remove almost the entirety of the alternate mode parts and still have a complete, fully-functional robot figure left over.

This term is most often used derisively. Also see [[kibble]].

Shellformers should not be confused with the [[Pretender]]s.

Kre-O

2014-05-10T16:05:55Z

KirbyForce1: /* Blind-bagged figures */ Included image of wave 5, and removed the "coming soon" banner as wave 5 has now been released in the UK.

{{Nav-kreo}}
[[Image:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Car me now!]]

'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) center around a Transformers character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of Transformers characters and human drivers (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.

The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded considerably, with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.

In 2013, [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to Japan, primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.

==Building sets==
===2011===
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot builds took many elements from the then-current ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)| Dark of the Moon]]'' series, though the heads were mostly designed around the characters' [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] incarnations.

The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired.

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.

There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons.

This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.

Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].

*'''Battle for Energon'''
**''Set number'': '''98812'''

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'', this series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer.

This time around, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], The ''Kre-O'' sets this year are ''heavily'' based around building robo-dinos. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing magnetic backpacks.

==Micro-Changers==
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).

Thankfully, the Micro-Changer series did not suffer the limited-distribution fate of the ''Beast Hunters'' sets; after a rocky start, by 2013 the series was stocked regularly not just by ToysЯUs, but [[Target]] as well, plus many large drug store chains began carrying the individually-bagged figures.

===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.

:*''Release date'': [[Calendar|August]] 2012
:This series differs a little from the later waves, and not just because of the smaller (all-badguy) cast. In an unusual backwards move, the [[tampograph]]s on these figures' chests use only a single color, typically black.

:This is also the only ''Kre-O Transformers'' product to be sold (briefly) at [[Walmart]] since the initial year.

: For the first full series, the multi-colored tampographs made a glorious comeback. Also, a new display-stand brick was added to every figure, a black 2x4 piece with the "Kre-O" logo in white on one edge.
: Also changed is how the bag numbers work, with a 7-digit code. Only the final two numbers in the codes are indicators of what Kreon is in the bag, the first five are likely manufacturing plant codes or something and have no bearing on the contents, and can vary from case to case. For simplicity's sake, we've *****'d out the first five digits from here on out.

: This series replaced the flak jackets used to attach stuff to prior Micro Changers' torsos in prior waves (which most fans hated since it obscured the chest tampographs) with a new simple one-peg "backpack" piece. And there was much rejoicing. On top of that, at this stage the "vehicle" builds become a little more complex, using more parts to make them look more like tiny vehicles than just robots laying face-down with a thing or two on their backs.

: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.

: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?).

Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block, and extra limb pieces. Just in case. As most of the original teams hese sets are based on have five to six members, the "lost" members are (usually) put into the blind-bagged series.

==Kreon Ultimate Collection==
These sets, each containing five different Kreons, were released early in 2013. The Kreon figures had all been released earlier in larger Kre-o sets, and they only come with their own weapons. One of the five figures was marked on the packaging as the "mystery figure."

==Custom Kreons==
First released at the back-end of 2013, these individually-carded Kreons include a huge number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). They also come with a customizable "rack" to store said extra parts. "Repeat" characters have all new [[tampograph]]s that are more heavily like the original toys the characters are based on.

This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series. So far it appears that once again [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] was the only US retailer to order them, though they were made available off of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as well.

===Online comics===
{{main|Kre-O Transformers (comic)}}

==Notes==
* Kre-O bricks are manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford]<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref>, who have been making not-L sets for a while. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction.
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.
* Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (Kre-O)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a L Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.
* The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.

KirbyForce1: /* Blind-bagged figures */

:''Micro-Changers are a subgroup from the brick-based world of [[Kre-O]].''
[[Image:Logo Micro-Changers.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
It was only a matter of time before [[Kreon]]s became so advanced that they were able to [[transformation|transform]] like their larger counterparts. Transforming Kreons are known as '''Micro-Changers'''. Some of them have even gained the ability to join together into [[Combiner]]s.

==Fiction==
===Kre-O cartoon===
A story in the ''[[Autobot City News]]'' reported that scientists were baffled by the appearance of Micro-Changers. A number of them assisted [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] in stealing [[energon]] {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} so he could make a grilled cheese sandwich. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}

==Toys==
===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.

:*''Release date'': [[Calendar|August]] 2012

:This series differs a little from the later waves, and not just because of the smaller (all-badguy) cast. In an unusual backwards move, the [[tampograph]]s on these figures' chests use only a single color, typically black. Also, five of the figures had clear-purple weapons; later waves would move (mostly) to opaque pistols.

: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.

: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?).

: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?).

:''Windrazor is a [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:WindrazorBH-wallpaper.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]

Devoid of empathy, the obedient '''Windrazor''' seeks only the destruction of others. A persistent, [[flight]]-capable Predacon, his high proficiency with ranged weapons makes closing in a daunting task for his enemies, while his sharp wings and impressive strength make short work of any unfortunate [[Autobot]] who could get close.

He and several of his fellow Predacons combine to form [[Abominus (Prime)|Abominus]].

==Games==
==="Hunt the Beasts" online game===
[[File:HunttheBeasts-Windrazor.jpg|left|thumb|300px|]]

Windrazor was one of several Predacons who broke free of Shockwave's lab, causing the Decepticon scientist to flee. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals, and a video of him being subjected to Shockwave's experiments could be uncovered. {{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

**''Accessories'': Tornado Bow

:Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime:]] [[Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Windrazor transforms into a bird-like dragon creature, and comes with a "Tornado Bow". He can hold the weapon via the latter's three [[C joint|3mm post]]s, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.

:Though not called out in the [[instructions]], Windrazor combines with ''Cyberverse'' [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Cyberverse|Twinstrike]], [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)#Cyberverse|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Cyberverse|Predacon Rippersnapper]], and [[Blight (Prime)#Cyberverse|Blight]] to form [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]], with Windrazor forming the right arm.

:His bow accessory was also used, in varying colors, by [[Bumblebee (WFC)#BHCyberverse|Bumblebee]], [[Airachnid (Prime)#Cyberverse|Airachnid]], and Predacon Rippersnapper. This toy was [[redeco]]ed into [[Divebomb (Prime)|Divebomb]] and ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' [[Barara]].

:Part of the first wave of 2014 ''Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Windrazor is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with minor detail differences and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.

:A [[variant]] has been found in Germany and Norway (both countries also got the original version)<ref name="variant1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-deluxe-windrazor-variant-179863/ Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Windrazor variant?] at TFW2005</ref><ref name="variant2">[http://www.allspark.com/content/2014/05/comparison-images-of-beast-hunters-deluxe-windrazor-variants/ Comparison images of Beast Hunters Deluxe Windrazor variants] at the Allspark</ref>, which changes nearly all colors, possibly in order to distinguish him better from his ''very'' similarly colored [[wave]]-mate [[Twinstrike (Prime)#Deluxe|Twinstrike]]: Most notably, the cream yellow plastic used for the head, neck, shoulders and feet gets replaced by gray plastic. Furthermore, they cream yellow plastic used for the forearms and wings is changed to gold, the plastic used for the torso and legs gets changed to a darker shade of green, and the plastic used for the upper arms, tail and weapon, as well as the [[paint operation]]s for the wings and forehead, get changed from a dark metallic purple to a brighter, flat purple. The only colors that are unchanged are the gold paint operation for the beak and the red paint operations for the eyes.

Beast Hunters (toyline)

2014-05-08T12:34:00Z

KirbyForce1: /* Deluxe Class */

{{disambig2|the subline imprint to Transformers: Prime|the team of Autobots from the ''Prime'' cartoon|Team Prime}}
[[Image:Beasthunters-logo1.png|right|300px|Beast Machines this ain't. Sorta.]]
'''Beast Hunters''' is the [[subline imprint]] for the second phase of the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]] franchise, also extending into the [[Kre-O]] franchise.

This change was made to reflect the theme of the third season of the [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|cartoon]], in which the [[Autobot]]s contend with not just [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, but also with the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s (well, sort of...).

The toys sold under this banner transform into dragons (for Predacons), spiky, over-weaponized vehicles reminiscent of ''{{w|Mad Max}}'' (for Autobots), or vehicles with beastly traits (for Decepticons).

There ''may'' be some sort of video game to go with the franchise. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-video-game-trademark-revealed-176549/ Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Video Game Trademark Revealed]</ref>

In Japan, the ''Beast Hunters'' line was folded into the ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Transformers Go!]]'' toyline, which also includes some unique toys. How this will affect the Japanese branding of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' animated series is unknown.

==Series 2 (2013)==

For this Series, on-package [[bio]]s were reduced in length to just a sentence or two, and the [[Instructions|instruction sheets]] instead feature facts about one of the figure's main weapons, as well as a chapter of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' prose story, each of which focuses on the appropriate character in addition to continuing an ongoing story.

The Battlemaster class consists of [[redeco]]s/[[retool]]s of the [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Weaponizers|Weaponizer Class]] toys from the previous series (especially in the common addition of new hand-held weapons).

*[[Optimus Prime (WFC)#BHWeaponizer|Beast Tracker Optimus Prime]] (retool of ''Prime'' Weaponizer Optimus Prime)

{{-}}

===Ultimate Class===
[[Image:BHtoy-PredakingUltimate.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Beast Fire Predaking, an Ultimate Class figure. Now where's that [[Dragon's Bane|gunpowder]]?]]
A new size class, Ultimate Class figures are larger than Leader Class toys of previous lines, but have simpler transformations like the Weaponizer Class toys. They feature light-up gimmicks and spring-loaded missile launchers in some form. They also ship in separate assortments due to their differently shaped boxes.

*[[Optimus Prime (WFC)#Ultimate|Beast Hunter Optimus Prime]] with [[Firebreath Cyclocannons]] and [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17|Chapter 17]]
*[[Predaking (Prime)#Ultimate|Beast Fire Predaking]] with [[Infernum Blade]] and [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 18|Chapter 18]]
{{Note|Beast Fire Predaking was available as general retail release in regular ''Beast Hunters'' packaging in various international markets such as Canada, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia. In the United States, he was sold, without any changes to the toy itself, as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]] in ''[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising|Predacons Rising]]'' packaging instead.}}

{{--}}

==Series 3 (2014)==
At this point, the ''Beast Hunters'' line was refreshed to align with Hasbro's new goal of making main line toys easier to transform for children in the target age group.

Due to being released after the Christmas season and before the launching of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction toyline]], the figures (especially the deluxes) saw limited distribution, and thus are slightly hard to find (especially in the US).

===Deluxe Class===
[[Image:Prime BH deluxe upscaled Windrazor.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Windrazor, a Series 3 Deluxe Class figure. Who needs Abominus when you've got a sweet mace?]]
For the initial Deluxe Class offerings, this was accomplished by up-scaling the designs of several ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class figures, with the [[packaging]] even featuring bits of the instructions printed on the back. Though featuring new weapons, the toys in this size class were essentially direct translations of the smaller designs, thus retaining their primitive [[articulation]]. The two Predacons, in this instance, lost their ability to combine, lacking the appropriate pegs.

The Voyager Class figures followed a slightly-different path, with the figures featuring transformations based on their respective ''Cyberverse'' Commander Class toys, but this time borrowing several design elements from their larger figures, as well as adding articulation appropriate for this size. With the lessened complexity, the toys in this size class ended up becoming ''HUGE'', being more on par with Ultra Class toys from previous toylines, such as [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' (2008)]].

KirbyForce1:

{{welcome}}
Thanks for the Kre-O stock photos, but it's also a good idea to have the proper links in the description as well, like the Devastator set having both links to Devastator and Ironhide's Kre-O pages. Also, put "'''<nowiki>{{Kre-Ostock}}</nowiki>'''" in the description when uploading any other Kre-O stock image, as that'll put it in the correct category. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 15:07, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

== User images ==

While a user can place as many images as they want from this wiki into their user pages, I'm afraid users are only allowed to upload one user-specific image for their page. For the sake of retaining the four amusing images you uploaded for your user page, may I suggest resizing them and compositing them into one reasonably-sized image? Thank you. [[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] 13:52, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
:Er, your userpage ''is'' your profile. Like I said, you can only upload one userpage/profile-specific image. The others will have to go. [[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] 07:41, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
:Like Inkblot said, pick one to keep on your user page. The others ''have'' to go. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 21:53, 4 April 2013 (EDT)

:Friendly reminder to pick just ''one'' user pic. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 21:23, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

== Image uploading ==

Don't go and replace images with crappier versions for no reason. Also, don't repeatedly upload the same image again and again. [[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] 14:40, 14 May 2013 (EDT)

The idea that all our toy images must be official Hasbro ones is complete nonsense, so stop replacing images randomly, and certainly stop replacing well-laid-out ones with badly-laid-out ones, or I'm going to give you a temp ban until you get the picture. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 10:20, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

{{tagyourpics}}
PLEASE put in links on which part of the franchise the picture you upload comes from. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 23:51, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

==Once more, user images==
You appear to still not quite get it: '''the reason those user images you uploaded were deleted and then redeleted is because you are allowed just ONE personal image file for use on your user/profile page.''' If you want to have all those pieces of fan art on your user page, you should either composite them into a single image file, as Inkblot suggested above, or upload them to an external image-hosting website. Thank you. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 04:38, 16 May 2013 (EDT)

== Talk page comments on articles ==

Hello. Please don't leave comments for other users on main articles. If you have something to say to someone, use their talk page. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:06, 8 July 2013 (EDT)

== TIME OUT ==

I thought you had changed, dude, but you need to realize that user-taken photos are just as good as stock photos.

<big>'''THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH REPLACING STOCK PHOTOS WITH USER-TAKEN PHOTOS IN THIS WIKI, AND BEARING GRUDGES AGAINST USERS WILL NOT HELP YOUR SITUATION.'''</big>

So you're on a ''major'' time-out for now. Come back in six months with a bone to pick, and you'll be banned even longer.

--[[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] ([[User talk:Inkblot|talk]]) 05:50, 10 March 2014 (EDT)

== Stolen artwork ==

This user has stolen some of my artwork from my DeviantART page (the link to my DeviantART page can be found on my user page here), and thus the images should be removed. --[[User:KirbyForce1|KirbyForce1]] ([[User talk:KirbyForce1|talk]]) 23:21, 7 May 2014

Smokescreen (Prime)

{{factions|autobot|eliteguard}}
{{disambig3|Smokescreen}}
:''Smokescreen is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:PrimeSmokescreenTVAichiPromoRender.jpg|thumb|300px|Finally, after forty-four episodes, a kid appeal character!]]

'''Smokescreen''' is an eager young Autobot recruit, all too ready to fight in the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], to become a great warrior, maybe even a Prime someday. While he may talk a mile a minute and be greener than [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]'s paintwork, Smokescreen at least has the sense to use his wits when charging into a situation, rather than heading in firing blind. He also idolizes [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and will do anything to impress him, even at the risk of his own life.

{{bigquote|Now that was a plan!|Smokescreen|''[[New Recruit]]''}}

{{voiceactor|[[Nolan North]] (English), [[Kazuyuki Okitsu]] (Japanese)|[[Bernhard Völger]] (German), [[Moisés Ivan Mora]] (Latin American Spanish)}}

[[Image:New-recruit-smokescreen-flashback-tfp.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Maybe if I punch the screen hard enough, I'll be able to escape.]]
Back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the latter part of the war, Smokescreen was keen to be a soldier and underwent training with the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], although it was more of a boot camp at the time. To his disappointment, he ended up on security detail at the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Hall of Records]] guarding [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]]. He was also put in guard of the Iacon relics. Though he learned much, he still yearned for combat. He thought his chance had come when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked Iacon directly, but instead he was immediately knocked into stasis by a Decepticon bomb. Or so he thought. {{storylink|New Recruit}} Without knowing, Smokescreen was actually knocked out by Alpha Trion himself who opened him up and stored one of the Omega Key Iacon relics in his body. {{storylink|Inside Job}} Somehow Smokescreen ended up on a Decepticon transport and awakened on it. Giving the guard the slip, Smokescreen stole an escape pod which took him to [[Earth]].

[[Image:NewRecruit-prettygoodplan.jpg|thumb|I'm here to be an Optimus fanboy and make people suspicious, and I'm all out of being an Opti- wait, no, I'm not...]]
Upon landing, he joined members of [[Team Prime]] in fighting off some Decepticons who had converged on the pod. His wild, reckless fighting ignited the pod's spilled fuel, which sent the Deceptions packing, but did little to impress Team Prime. Though the others were suspicious, Optimus accepted him upon his recounting of tales only Alpha Trion and Optimus would have known. They took him to [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Outpost Omega One]] and the [[human]] [[Jack Darby (Prime)|Jack Darby]] gave him a tour during which he recognized some of the relics from the Hall of Records. Due to Smokescreen's inexperience, Optimus refused to let him go on a mission to recover [[Red Energon]], and instead he and Jack went to find him a new [[alternate mode]]. When Prime's team got into trouble, Smokescreen had the idea of using the [[phase shifter]] to help and convinced [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] to let him try. On the battlefield, he succeeded in using it to separate [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] from the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]], ultimately resulting a victory (more or less) for the Autobots. With that success, Optimus welcomed him to Team Prime. {{storylink|New Recruit}}

[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] rebuffed Smokescreen's suggestion of using the Apex Armor while mending. When the Decepticons got hold of a [[Project Damocles]] satellite, Optimus led a team including Smokescreen to a military base in [[Colorado]] to protect the satellite's control codes. They ended up tangling with Decepticons, and Smokescreen was almost hit by the laser from the orbiting satellite. Smokescreen tried a solo attempt to get to [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s location but was almost hit again before being called to join Bulkhead in fighting [[Silas|Cylas]] and they succeeded in driving the [[MECH]] commander off. Smokescreen told the Wrecker that he studied all of his unit's battles which gave Bulkhead more confidence in him. {{storylink|The Human Factor}}

[[Image:Legacy-Smokescreencar.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Just a LeMans racing car driving down the wrong side of the road in the middle of Nevada. Don't mind me.]]
After Smokescreen threatened a human driver and had his picture taken, he was assigned Jack to teach him the ropes. He managed to talk Jack into pulling pranks on several humans, and when Ratchet detected an Iacon homing beacon, Smokescreen volunteered to investigate and took Jack along too. When it turned out the relic in question was the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Smokescreen charged in and was promptly captured by the Decepticons. After the rest of the Autobots saved the day, they gave Smokescreen a stern talking to. {{storylink|Legacy}}

When Optimus decoded the location of the first [[Omega Key]], Smokescreen volunteered to go fetch it, and secretly took the phase shifter with him. After he and [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] found the key, they were ambushed by Megatron, who struck Smokescreen with a wave of energy from the [[Dark Star Saber]]. Though the other Autobots thought Smokescreen dead, he had instead survived thanks to the phase shifter and found his way out of the ruins in time to help Optimus retrieve the Omega Key from Megatron. Ratchet later said Smokescreen could keep the phase shifter, though his joy was tempered by the loss of the Star Saber. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

Smokescreen remained exuberant after his victory, getting on the other Autobot's nerves, and was disappointed when he was left at base while Arcee and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] went to get the next key. He got his chance when he and Bulkhead were sent to get Key number 3, but after an encounter with [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]], Smokescreen was knocked out in the process of retrieving the key. He was upset at the loss, and after Arcee lectured him, went out for a drive, unaware that both sides were about to discover that he himself was the final relic. Unfortunately the Decepticons found him first, and he was captured by Soundwave. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}}

[[Image:InsideJobSmokescreenfreefall.jpg|thumb|right|300px|It's official. I don't believe I can fly anymore.]]
Smokescreen awakened at the Decepticon lab table where he discovered that the final Omega Key was inside him. The Decepticons extracted the final Omega Key from him using his own Phase shifter and also used a [[cortical psychic patch]] to learn what he knew about the relics. However when Knock Out attempted to find out the Autobot base location, Smokescreen was able to regain his phase shifter from [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and used it to steal the two keys the Decepticons possessed. After free-falling off the ship and saving himself with the shifter, Smokescreen bridged back to base with the two keys, but a short time later, Starscream managed to steal all three of the Autobots' keys. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

As the Autobots equipped themselves to go to Cybertron, Smokescreen took the [[spark extractor]] from storage. On Cybertron, he used his phase shifter to get the drop on the Decepticons and generally cause mayhem in their ranks, and dropped the extractor in their midst before phasing away. Having reclaimed the Omega Keys, the Autobots found the [[Omega Lock]], only for the Decepticons to unveil their trump card in the form of the three kids as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Smokescreen was forced to surrender the Phase Shifter and hand over his key in exchange for Jack. After Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock to prevent Megatron destroying Earth, Smokescreen returned with the others to base, only to find that the Decepticons were attacking it. The Autobots were forced to abandon base, and Smokescreen bridged to a point somewhere in the US. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

[[File:DarkmountNV-SmokescreenOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|300px|So what we call him now, huh? Smokimus Prime? Screen Prime?]]
Unwilling to abandon everything, Smokescreen used the phase shifter to sneak back. Following the base's destruction, he was able to pull Optimus from the wreckage and take his barely-functioning leader to an underground cavern. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} He searched fruitlessly through the ruins of the base for medical supplies. Optimus asked after the Forge of Solus Prime, giving Smokescreen the idea to look for it in the [[Darkmount (Earth)|Decepticon fortress]]. {{storylink|Scattered}} Using the phase shifter, Smokescreen boarded the Decepticon warship and found both Airachnid and the Forge. On his return to the cavern, Prime refused to use the Forge on himself, believing its power should be conserved to repair the Omega Lock, and that Smokescreen would succeed him as Autobot leader. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} Smokescreen refused to let Optimus die and used the Forge to revive his leader. The pair headed for Darkmount, but Smokescreen was left behind by Optimus's new flight-capable form, and by the time he arrived, the battle was already over. The Autobots reassembled at a human military base, where Ratchet reassured Smokescreen he'd done the right thing. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

[[Image:Smokescreennewpaintjob.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Does this paint job make me look fat?]]
Smokescreen got a new paint job, but when he returned to base was vilified by Ultra Magnus, who then ordered him to stack empty energon cubes. As he did this, Smokescreen quietly complained about how he had nearly been a Prime. He, Optimus and Bumblebee headed to [[Texas]] to stop the Decepticons from retrieving Predacon remains located there, only to find themselves fighting the formidable team of Shockwave and Soundwave. Despite their best efforts, Soundwave still managed to send the piece of the Predacon remains to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' via an expertly timed GroundBridge. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

During a mission to secure energon, Smokescreen volunteered to accompany the Wreckers into an abandoned mine to scout things out. He was teamed up with Bulkhead, but the pair failed to find anything. {{storylink|Evolution}} After Ultra Magnus was forced to have a claw for a hand, Smokescreen attempted to cheer him up by suggesting it could become his signature, like Bumblebee's damaged voice box, but this merely annoyed Bumblebee. Smokescreen was part of the team that failed to stop a Decepticon raid, but he did get to witness Optimus capturing Soundwave. He and Bulkhead were later assigned to guard the creepy Decepticon, and when Soundwave got loose, the pair found themselves knocked out by him. {{storylink|Minus One}} When they recovered, they found that Soundwave had abducted Ratchet. Fortunately it turned out a piece Smokescreen had blasted off of Laserbeak would be useful in finding the Decepticon warship. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

They launched a probe carrying Laserbeak's transponder and monitored it and Optimus's progress from the base. Though the probe was destroyed, Ratchet was able to send them the coordinates to the Decepticon warship, and Smokescreen and the others geared up in preparation to assault the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Though assigned to accompany Arcee and Bumblebee, Smokescreen promptly struck off on his own. He retrieved the Star Saber from the warship's storeroom with the intention of returning it to Optimus, however when he reached the Omega Lock control room, Shockwave blasted him. The Autobots continued to battle until Megatron perished at the hands of Bumblebee. With the warship under their control, the Autobots were able to return to Cybertron and restore it. After a farewell to their human friends, Smokescreen and the other Autobots returned home through the space bridge. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

In the aftermath of Cybertron's rebirth, Smokescreen and Ultra Magnus went patrolling to find Starscream and Shockwave. They instead ran into two new Predacons and would have been killed had Smokescreen not saved them both with the phase shifter. Smokescreen and the other Autobots attempted to persuade Predaking to help them, but were unsuccessful. After encountering Unicron, in possession of Megatron's rebuilt form, the Autobots realized that the dark god intended to destroy their world. After foiling an attempt by Starscream to retake the warship, the Autobots attempted to defend the Well of All Sparks from Unicron's onslaught. It was only when Optimus returned that Unicron was defeated, and Smokescreen was later present when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore the AllSpark to Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

With a number of the other Autobots injured in battle with [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]], Smokescreen infiltrated a Decepticon laboratory and discovered [[Hyperevolution Chamber]]s full of developing Predacons. Believing he had found the origin of the Predacons, Smokescreen was about to return to base when he found himself confronted by [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10}} Though the battle damaged him to the point where he was almost unable to return to base, he managed to escape with a number of [[data disc]]s. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 13}}

**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, & Electronet (combine to form Electronet Launcher), Shadow Quill Armor

: Part of the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Smokescreen is an all new mold. He transforms into a McLaren MP4-12C sports car, and features 5mm peg-holes on his hands, roof, and on either side of his spoiler.

:For accessories, he comes with a three-piece "[[Electronet Launcher]]", a spring-loaded missile launcher that can mount via its 5mm handle, and fires a missile with a soft, removable Electronet. According to the weapon's description in the instructions, the Electronet Launcher can apparently be used as an axe as well, with the Electronet presumably being used as the blade. Additionally, the Electronet has a tab on one side and a slot on the other, meaning the net can be rolled up with some effort, while Smokescreen has a hexagonal peg on his robot back that can be used to store the net.

:He also comes with the "Shadow Quill Armor", a rubbery piece of plastic which can attach to his vehicle to form a heavily-armored front-end, or can be worn in robot mode as a spiky harness of sorts. The sides of the armor each feature clips, presumably for storing the missile.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts his Electronet and armor as being cast in a mixture of blue and red plastic, but the final product has these cast only in metallic blue.

:His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10|tenth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

==Notes==
* The 38s Smokescreen sports on his doors are an homage to his [[Smokescreen (G1)|G1 incarnation]], who also wore them.
*According to the ''Transformers: Prime Season 1'' DVD/Blu-Ray featurettes, Smokescreen was in the original line-up for Season 1, and would've died in the Season finale. However, the character was replaced by [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and his death was moved to the first episode.
*Smokescreen is the only main Autobot character to have made no [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|ga]][[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|me]] or [[Transformers: Exodus|bo]][[Transformers: Exiles|ok]] appearances.
*Smokescreen's license plate in "[[Legacy]]" and "[[Hard Knocks]]" is "'''RPI·437'''", the same one used by [[June Darby]] and [[William Fowler]], due to asset reuse.
*Many people have compared him to [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] due to the fact that Smokescreen is a rookie who almost received the Matrix and desired to become a great warrior like Optimus Prime.

{{disambig3|Bumblebee}}
:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:PrimeBee.jpg|thumb|300px|... and, from the Planet of the Mimes, the Copper Kidd!]]
'''Bumblebee''' is a young and eager Autobot, one of the last generation to be created before the loss of the [[AllSpark]]. He's full of energy and determination to do the right thing, and can always be counted on to volunteer for action. His small size matched with his impressive speed make him an excellent scout and messenger.

He's been on Earth longer than any other Autobot, and he's grown to like and understand [[human]]s, particularly [[Raf Esquivel]] and [[Axel Frazier]]. If you're a Decepticon and you want to threaten any humans, you better not think you can get away with it just because Bumblebee's small and can't talk: he can't talk because his [[voice box]] was ''destroyed'' in combat and he's still kept fighting, because Bumblebee will take any risk and make whatever sacrifice ''necessary'' to win the war.

{{quote|Bumblebee, it wouldn't kill you to exercise caution.|[[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Bumblebee was part of the last generation of Cybertronians that emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] after it had stopped producing life in a lull at the beginning of the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war. Like all born during the war, he joined the Autobots. He became part of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s inner circle with [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]], and also befriended [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], learning first aid skills from him in the few battles they fought together.

When Optimus ejected the [[AllSpark]] from the Well into space, Bumblebee distracted [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] at [[Tyger Pax]], and paid the ultimate price when the tyrant destroyed his vocoder. Ratchet repaired it, but Bumblebee was only able to speak from time to time. When Megatron stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[Autobot High Council|High Council Tower]], Bumblebee followed him to the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] below the ruins of [[Crystal City]] and witnessed him use it to corrupt Cybertron's [[core]] with [[Dark Energon]].

Bumblebee informed Optimus of what he saw, but first he had to serve as part of the extraction unit in Optimus's rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. Afterwards Optimus, Bumblebee and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] journeyed to the core through the Well. Due to the heavy build up of Dark Energon, Bumblebee found it a distressing experience and lost it when they reached the core, silently tearing out the protruding Corruption Spikes. Though fearful of what would happen, Optimus was able to remove the Chamber and begin Cybertron's healing.

Back at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Optimus announced [[Ark (WFC)|Project Generation One]] to evacuate Cybertron, for the planet could not sustain a fraction of the life it currently supported if it were to survive. Bumblebee boarded the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' with the other elite Autobots and drew out and entered [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Avoiding Trypticon's corridor drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] they blew up the Dark Energon Facility, causing him to crash. Bumblebee boarded the ''Ark'', which flew him and his friends through the last [[space bridge]] to a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] with the AllSpark detected nearby. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

After passing through the unstable [[space bridge]], Bumblebee and the Autobots aboard the Ark found themselves in the vicinity of a Cybertronian colony world called [[Velocitron]]. Bumblebee was part of Optimus Prime's initial landing team, who made contact with the planet's rulers, [[Override (Prime)|Override]] and [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]]. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots' arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation. Although the Autobots secured an ally in Override, they left Velocitron on the brink of civil war during their departure.

The next leg of their journey through the Space Bridge brought the Autobots to fabled [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], a world composed entirely of space junk. Bumblebee and the Autobots met [[Wreck-Gar (Prime)|Wreck-Gar]] and his ever-busy people, the Junkions, who maintained an entire planet made of derelict ships and space junk that gravitated together over time. Optimus Prime's Matrix-induced visions led him on a quest through one of the four Space Bridge nodes surrounding Junkion, and he selected Bumblebee and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] to accompany him. Through the Bridge they came across the lonely tomb of [[Solus Prime]], fabled artifacer of the [[Thirteen]]. Her holographic spirit was called forth by the Matrix and informed the Autobots that the [[Requiem Blaster (Prime)|Requiem Blaster]], most deadly of her creations, rested on Junkion and must be kept out of Decepticon hands.

Returning to Junkion, Bumblebee joined the other Autobots in a struggle with the Decepticons aboard the newly arriving ''Nemesis''. The Requiem Blaster was uncovered inside a ship at the planet's core. A weapon capable of drawing infinite power from nearby stellar sources, the Requiem Blaster had its own gravity field, and had literally been the core around which Junkion's "junk" had formed. The fighting over the Requiem Blaster ripped the planet apart, but both sides eventually called off the melee and abandoned the Blaster after learning the location of the Allspark itself. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and the rest of the Autobots boarded the Ark and began the long race to reach their civilization's greatest prize before Megatron could. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

During the Great War, Bumblebee was captured at [[Tyger Pax]]. The interrogation by Megatron was brutal, but he was later found and a [[Ratchet (WFC)|field medic]] saved his life, though his [[voice box]] was a loss. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

[[Image:Predatory-ArceeBeeCliff.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Hey Cliff, aren't you supposed to be a red version of me?]]
Bumblebee and Cliffjumper invaded [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]]'s lair to rescue Arcee and [[Tailgate (Prime)|Tailgate]]. Bumblebee blasted a couple of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s, but they were too late to save Tailgate. They carried Arcee out as she told them she'd been unable to save her partner. {{storylink|Predatory}}

Years later, after the war, Bumblebee was stationed on [[Earth]] under Optimus Prime's command. He was patrolling a desert area when Optimus ordered everyone back to [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]] so that they could use the [[GroundBridge]] to provide Cliffjumper with backup. They did so, but arrived at the battle site too late—Cliffjumper had been taken by the Decepticons, and apparently killed. The Autobots held a brief memorial for their friend.

[[Image:Bumblebee Bulkhead Arcee Darkness Rising 1.jpg|left|thumb|350px|''Voice actor:'' [[R2-D2]] (English)]]

When Arcee and [[Jack Darby (Prime)|Jack Darby]] were pursued by Decepticons, Bumblebee joined in the chase as it moved onto the freeway. After a brief attempt to slow the Decepticons, he joined Arcee in facing the foe in a drainage canal, accidentally crushing a toy car belonging to [[Raf Esquivel|Rafael Esquivel]]. During the fight Bumblebee was knocked to the ground, and only Raf's timely distraction allowed him to temporarily get the better of the Decepticons, until [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] arrived and helped them scare the Decepticons off.

Optimus was disappointed that humans had gotten involved, and had Bumblebee and Arcee bring them back to the base. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} When [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] detected Cliffjumper's signal, Bumblebee was part of the team that went to try and rescue their comrade. Though he and the others valiantly fought through the multitudes of Decepticons at an energon mine, their mission was ultimately a failure, and they had to return to base hastily as the mine exploded. Prime later assigned him to watch over Raf to keep the boy safe from the Decepticons. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

[[Image:DarknessRising3-BumblebeeArceevehicles.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Drive on the right side of the road, Bumblebee!]]

The next day, Bumblebee discovered that he was a lot better than Raf at computer games, though Raf blamed it on Bumblebee's greater experience in driving. When they reached the base, Optimus and Ratchet left on a mission, placing Arcee in charge. Arcee promptly went out on patrol, taking Bumblebee with her and leaving Bulkhead in charge. As they drove through the Nevada desert, Bulkhead reported that [[William Fowler|Fowler]] had been abducted by the Decepticons. When it turned out there was no one left at base to bridge them back, Arcee and Bumblebee were forced to drive back. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

[[Image:DarknessRising4-Bumblebeeshoot.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Sting like a bee = die by fire]]

Bumblebee and Arcee arrived at the Decepticon ship in time to rescue Raf and Jack from a pair of Decepticons. They quickly located Bulkhead and [[Miko Nakadai (Prime)|Miko Nakadai]], also moving through the ship, but after it became obvious that the humans were in too much danger as they fought their way through the ship, the Autobots cleared out the ship's bridge for the kids to hide out in. They eventually reached the brig where Fowler was being held, and Bumblebee and Bulkhead burst through the main door while Arcee slipped in through a top vent. A standoff ensued, until Fowler distracted Starscream long enough for the Autobots to start firing. Starscream chased off, the Autobots took off with Fowler and rescued the kids on the way out. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

Once the Autobots had located the whereabouts of the Decepticon [[space bridge]]—Earth orbit—Optimus, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee used the GroundBridge to reach it. They were spotted by Megatron and Starscream, who sent a force of flying Decepticons to attack them. While they battled, Ratchet determined a way to destroy the space bridge, so Bumblebee and Bulkhead covered Arcee while she followed his instructions. They committed the necessary act of sabotage before Megatron fired on them, hitting Arcee. As the Autobots jumped back into the GroundBridge, Bumblebee collected Arcee's drifting body and carried her back to base where she recovered enough to stand on her own. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[Image:Masters&Students-BeeQuake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bumblebee comes up with his own version of punch buggy blue.]]
Bumblebee helped Raf with his science project, building a small replica of a volcano while they discussed how Bumblebee had not yet risen to the rank of Warrior. As Optimus pointed out, Bumblebee still had much to learn before he could reach that level. Optimus subsequently picked Bumblebee to go on a mission to investigate Decepticon activity, but warned the smaller Autobot to hold back. When Optimus came to blows with [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], Bumblebee decided to disregard the earlier order and charged into battle. Though he was no match for Skyquake, he and Optimus led the Decepticon into a trap and seemed victorious, until Skyquake [[scanning|scanned]] Fowler's jet. Bumblebee managed to end the fight by jumping onto Skyquake's jet form and causing critical damage, jumping to Fowler's jet as Skyquake crashed to the ground. After some repairs, Optimus commended him on his performance. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

Bulkhead and Bumblebee discovered a strange pod in the [[Arctic]] which they brought back to base. When the kids arrived at base, Bumblebee was keen to play some video games with Raf, but he and Bulkhead were roped into helping Ratchet repair the GroundBridge, which broke shortly after Optimus and Arcee used it to go to the Arctic. The cause of the problem was revealed when Raf found a [[Scraplet]], which started gnawing on Bumblebee. Raf killed it with a crowbar before it could do much more damage, but Bumblebee ended up having to search the base with Raf for more of the Scraplets. After finding quite a lot of Scraplets, they returned to the control room, where another mass of them overwhelmed Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Ratchet. Though the kids were able to get rid of the attacking Scraplets, Bumblebee was out of it for the rest of the incident, and ended up on a repair bed, being tended to by the kids. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}

When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] landed on Earth, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee turned out to welcome him and arrived in time to see him trash some Vehicons. The Autobots celebrated their new friend's arrival, and Bumblebee and Raf danced The Robot to Miko's guitar playing. Bumblebee also stood around a lot while Bulkhead proved that "Wheeljack" was a Decepticon spy and the real Wheeljack turned up. After everything was resolved, the Autobots had another party to welcome the real Wheeljack, and Bumblebee got to bust out some more dance moves. He and Arcee turned out with Bulkhead to see Wheeljack off when the Autobot returned to space. {{storylink|Con Job}}

[[Image:Convoy-Bumblebeeboxing.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Jazz (Movie)|YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?! YOU WANT A PIECE?!]] And please don't say you want two, because I know you're not Megatron. ]]

Bumblebee took part in the Autobot convoy to transport Fowler's [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]] across the US countryside. When [[MECH]] attacked them, he bashed into one of the cars they were using, flipping it over. The Autobots successfully passed the D.N.G.S. over to a train, but were shortly after confronted by a squadron of flying Vehicons, and were forced to return to their robot modes to fight. Bumblebee got to try out some boxing moves on a Vehicon, but while the Autobots were occupied, MECH made another attempt to obtain the D.N.G.S. which was foiled by Optimus. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}

When an [[Energon Harvester]] was located in a museum, the Autobots surrounded the building while the kids went in to steal it. [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] appeared at the front of the museum to attack Optimus, and as Breakdown charged at the museum, Bumblebee and Arcee attempted to stop him. Bumblebee was hit by a missile, sending him tumbling, and then by Arcee who'd just missed catching another missile. He, Arcee and Prime later attempted to track down the Decepticons before the Harvester could be used, but they ended up coming to Bulkhead's rescue after he found and stopped the Decepticons himself. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

[[Image:SpeedMetal-BBvsBreakdown.jpg|thumb|250px|I want a new dance partner.]]
When Arcee refused to go street racing with Jack, Bumblebee was more receptive, though they asked Raf's permission beforehand. Unfortunately also participating in the race was Knock Out, who started firing on Bumblebee. After calling base and letting them know what was up, Bumblebee used an oil slick to slow down Knock Out, and hid under a bridge. They would have escaped detection had another human, [[Vince]], not confronted Jack about apparently pulling out of the race, and Vince was subsequently captured by Knock Out. After Arcee and Bulkhead arrived, the three Autobots pursued Knock Out to a storage facility, where Bumblebee and Bulkhead were ambushed by Breakdown. They defeated Breakdown and caught up with Knock Out. The other 'Con had already been stopped by Optimus, who was very interested in some explanations. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}

When Optimus was infected with [[Cybonic plague]], Bumblebee and Arcee GroundBridged to the ''Nemesis'' to find a cure. Bumblebee discovered Megatron had survived their last battle and was recovering in sickbay. Unable to find the cure on the Decepticons' computer, Bumblebee offered to use the [[cortical psychic patch]] to enter Megatron's mind and locate it. Finding himself in a [[Kaon]]ian dreamscape, Bumblebee saw Megatron killing Optimus repeatedly. Megatron realized he could not harm Bumblebee and demanded to know why he was intruding on his mind. Bumblebee reminded him of the space bridge explosion and implored him to give him the cure, playing on his desire to kill Optimus for real rather than have him succumb to a virus. Megatron showed him the cure but demanded Bumblebee help him out of his stasis lock. Ratchet was recording what Bumblebee saw though, and because they had the cure, Arcee disconnected Bumblebee and GroundBridged back to base. However, Megatron's spark had left his body and escaped into Bumblebee's... {{storylink|Sick Mind}}

Bumblebee began to experience visions of Megatron, causing him to stop dead during a basketball game with Bulkhead. After Megatron forced him to crush one of Ratchet's devices, Bumblebee told Ratchet about the visions, and Ratchet induced a power down to give Bumblebee's mind time to recover. Bumblebee reactivated, under the control of Megatron, and, retrieving a piece of Dark Energon from an old battlefield, bridged to the Decepticon warship over the Arctic. Although Ratchet and Raf tried to stop him, even managing to get Bumblebee to reassert control for a few moments, Bumblebee successfully brought Megatron back online and transferred his mind back to his body. Free of Megatron's influence, Bumblebee beat a hasty retreat with Ratchet and Raf. Later at base, Ratchet checked Bumblebee was completely free of Megatron, and the small Autobot thanked Raf for coming to help him. {{Storylink|Out of His Head}}

After a Dark Energon signature was detected, Optimus took a team including Bumblebee to investigate. They instead found Starscream trying to resurrect Skyquake. During the ensuing conflict, the Autobots discovered their human friends had followed them to the battlefield, and the three kids were caught in a freak GroundBridge accident, causing them to disappear.The Autobots returned to base to try and locate their friends, but it wasn't until Bumblebee suggested trying to ring the kids that they found Miko's cellphone, and the kids were able to send a text to it. Ratchet subsequently engineered a portal to rescue the kids from the other dimension they'd become trapped in. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}

When Breakdown was captured by MECH, Bumblebee and the others were more than happy to leave them to it, but Optimus insisted that they rescue the Decepticon to avoid Cybertronian technology falling into MECH hands. The team arrived in [[Kamchatka Peninsula]] and Bumblebee spotted some vehicle tracks, but they opted instead to follow the energon signal Ratchet had detected. After they escaped the bomb that the trace led them to, the team tracked down Bulkhead in time to chase off Starscream and some Vehicons. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

Arcee and Bumblebee were in the middle of a fight with some Vehicons when Arcee got a call informing her she had to be in Jack's garage ASAP. After checking if Bumblebee could handle it, Arcee left. Evidently he was able to, as he was later in the Autobot base when Jack and Arcee turned up with [[June Darby]]. {{storylink|Crisscross}}

[[Image:Partners-BeepunchesAirachnid.jpg|thumb|250px|[[wikipedia:Cyborg_(comics)|Boo-yah]]!]]
Bumblebee was part of the team that investigated the wreck of a crashed [[Harbinger|Decepticon ship]] and found Airachnid and Starscream. He guarded the bound Starscream while the others decided what to do with the Decepticon. Prime, Bulkhead and Bumblebee went to check out the rear half of the ship, crashed some distance away, and were ambushed by Airachnid who had found an experimental weapon named the [[Immobilizer]]. She froze Prime and Bulkhead, but Bumblebee managed to trick her by kicking up a dust cloud with his guns, and then pretending to be frozen after she fired the Immobilizer into it. Once she turned her back, he crept up and sucker punched her before blasting the Immobilizer. After she fled, Bumblebee went back to find Arcee, and interrupted her when she was about to offline Starscream. They returned the pieces of Immobilizer to base, along with Bulkhead and Optimus, and Ratchet was able to repair the device and unfreeze their comrades. {{storylink|Partners}}

Bumblebee accompanied Prime and Arcee as they tried to retrieve a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] before the Decepticons did. Ultimately the Decepticons made off with the cylinder, and later Bumblebee listened as Ratchet told them the cylinder's contents had ended up in Bulkhead's brain, though the Autobots were excited to find that the equations being scrawled by Bulkhead were a set of formula for synthetic energon. Unfortunately it later turned out that the data was eating Bulkhead's brain. Bumblebee and Arcee accompanied Optimus on an unsuccessful attempt to get the cylinder back from Megatron, and they ended up fighting a bunch of Vehicons. Later they came to Miko and Bulkhead's aid to save the pair from Knock Out and Breakdown, and were present when Miko managed to rouse the comatose Bulkhead with her guitar. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}

During a mission to stop Knock Out and Breakdown who were transporting energon, Bumblebee, Prime and Bulkhead were separated from Arcee. They caught up to find that Ratchet had already dealt with the Vehicons who'd been attacking Arcee, and they returned to base where Ratchet revealed he'd taken the synthetic energon he'd been working on. Ratchet, amped up on the substance, insisted on going on their next mission, which meant Bumblebee got left at base operating the GroundBridge. The other Autobots returned minus Ratchet, who had gone to tackle Megatron on his own. Once they'd gotten a fix on Ratchet's signal, they left Bumblebee at base again. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

[[Image:PrimeEp23-BumblebeeRaf.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I didn't mean to break it]]
Bumblebee was taking Raf to play with Raf's remote-control car when he was called on to join the battle at a military base. Unfortunately Megatron found them before he could drop Raf off, and Bumblebee was hit by a blast from Megatron's cannon. Though Bumblebee himself was mostly unaffected, Raf was gravely injured. Bumblebee arrived at the battle and had to be restrained from attacking Megatron so he and Arcee could take Raf back to base. Bumblebee watched helplessly as Ratchet and June Darby tried to save the boy. At one point, the frustration became too much, and he knocked a chunk out of the wall with his fist, but Arcee talked him down, and eventually Ratchet worked out that an energon infusion would save Raf. Bumblebee gave some of his own energon for the procedure, which was ultimately successful. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}

After the other Autobots saved Optimus from Megatron, Bumblebee bridged them back to base. June decided to take Raf to the hospital, and didn't intend to bring him back, so Bumblebee had to sadly watch them drive from the base. When it transpired that the Dark Energon volcano was causing global disasters, he went to find June and Raf, and managed to save them from a tornado by grabbing the front end of their car. After he returned to base with them, the assembled Autobots and humans worked out that [[Unicron]] was at the center of the Earth. He and the other Autobots began investigating the sites of the earthquakes Unicron had generated. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Though Optimus ordered the other Autobots to remain at base, Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead joined him anyway. They fought increasingly larger stone Unicrons, until to their surprise, help came in the form of Megatron. When Optimus gave the other three Autobots the choice of whether to accompany him and Megatron to Earth's core, Bumblebee opted to go for Raf's sake. He, Arcee and Bulkhead greeted Megatron to the Autobot base by aiming their guns at him. Before long, they stepped through the GroundBridge once again, this time into Earth's core. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}

As they made their way through Unicron's internals, they encountered [[Unicron's antibodies|antibodies]] which aggressively attacked them. When during the fight Bulkhead almost fell to his doom, Bumblebee grabbed his arm and held him long enough for Optimus to help. He, Bulkhead and Arcee remained outside Unicron's spark chamber to hold off the antibodies, but after Unicron's defeat, they entered to find Optimus had lost his memory. The trio had to GroundBridge back to base without their leader. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

The Autobots puzzled over how to get their leader back but made little progress. When Fowler warned them of an attack on a military base, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee went to try and deal with it, but Knock Out and Breakdown succeeded in getting away with the power source they needed. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Bumblebee and the others fruitlessly searched for the space bridge until a breakthrough came in the form of information from Starscream. Using said information, the Autobots stormed the mine containing the space bridge and secured it so they could send Jack and Arcee through to Cybertron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee monitored Jack's progress from the Earth end of the space bridge. When Megatron arrived to take back control, Bumblebee was grabbed by the head and tossed aside. Luckily it all turned out, and Bumblebee and the others returned to base with Optimus Prime restored. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

[[Image:OperationBumblebee1 Bumblebee's new ride.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Privacy please"]]
During a mission to retrieve a Cybertronian artifact, Bumblebee followed Megatron into the Decepticon GroundBridge and snatched the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]] right out of his hand. Responding to another signal, Bumblebee was ambushed by MECH, who took his [[transformation cog|T-cog]]. Unable to transform, he became more and more testy despite the attempts of Raf to cheer him up. Bumblebee finally talked Bulkhead into taking him along on on a mission to find another artifact, only for his lack of a T-cog to become a liability as he tried to chase Knock Out. The pursuit ended when Bumblebee plunged out-of-control off a cliff. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

[[Image:OperationBumblebee2 Bumblebee damaged T-cog.jpg|thumb|left|250px|My precious...]]
When he came around back at base, Optimus restricted him to base. After an attempt to transplant Ratchet's T-cog into him was aborted, Bumblebee was pointed in the direction of the MECH base and opted to go on a one-bot assault. Though he floored Starscream and MECH in the process of getting the cog back, the vital component was blasted by Starscream. After some repair work by Ratchet, the T-cog was reinstalled in Bumblebee, and his ability to [[transformation|transform]] restored. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

Bumblebee and the others came to Wheeljack's aid when he returned to Earth to battle [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} Bumblebee was part of an Optimus-led mission to an abandoned energon mine in [[South America]], where they found Megatron fighting an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]. When the fight was finished, the Autobots surrounded the exhausted Megatron, but were prevented from finishing him off by the arrival of Dreadwing. Though they trashed a bunch of Vehicons, Megatron and Dreadwing escaped them. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

When Fowler was attacked by a truck resembling Optimus, Bumblebee caught his car as it plunged from a bridge. Returning to base, they established the truck was a MECH-created clone of Optimus, and began searching for the MECH base. Bumblebee found the hideout, but after alerting the other Autobots, was knocked out by [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]]. Following Optimus's defeat of MECH, the Autobots returned to base for repairs. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}} Bumblebee went with Optimus and Arcee to investigate some Decepticon activity and found Airachnid sending out a swarm of Insecticons. He and Optimus ended up having to fight a bunch of them and won. They got to return to base with Airachnid, whom Arcee had stasis-locked. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}

After the ''Nemesis'' crashed, Bumblebee took part in an attack on it with the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]], only to be put into stasis by its weapons. He recovered back at base once the kids disabled the ship. {{storylink|Flying Mind}} Bumblebee was sent to [[New York City]] with Arcee, Jack and Miko to look for one of the Iacon relics. In the subway, they ran into Knock Out and an Insecticon, the latter of which temporarily floored Bumblebee. He recovered in time to pursue Knock Out, catching up with the Decepticon and getting the relic back. The relic turned out to be a [[phase shifter]], which saved Bumblebee from being hit by an out-of-control sweeper train. After they chased Knock Out off, Bumblebee and Arcee were introduced to [[Vogel]]. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}}

They returned to base to find Bulkhead critically injured after his mission, and Bumblebee and Arcee helped get the Wrecker to the medical bay. {{storylink|Hurt}} During Bulkhead's recovery period, Bumblebee arrived back at base to find Miko was upset at her friend's lack of progress. {{storylink|Out of the Past}} Bumblebee was part of Optimus's team investigating a crashed escape pod when they encountered [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]]. When Raf discovered the presence of [[Red Energon]] on Earth, Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee headed to a dock to retrieve it, only to run into Starscream and the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]]. Bumblebee and Arcee attempted to scale the crane but were attacked by Starscream, and Smokescreen had to come to their rescue using the phase shifter. {{storylink|New Recruit}}

When Fowler notified them that a [[Project Damocles]] satellite had been stolen by Breakdown and Silas, Optimus took a team including Bumblebee to a military base in the hope of securing the satellite control codes before the Decepticons could get them. Instead they found themselves facing both Decepticon troopers and the orbital death ray itself, controlled by Soundwave. {{storylink|The Human Factor}} During an energon hunt, Bumblebee tried to stop Smokescreen harassing a human, resulting in them both getting their picture on the net. Bumblebee later accompanied Optimus on a search for another Iacon relic, which turned out to be a Decepticon hoax, and helped secure the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy}}

[[Image:HardKnocksBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Well, it's not a couch, but... it'll have to do.]]
After Optimus received a message from [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] revealing the existence of the [[Omega Key]]s, Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead were happy that they might soon be able to restore Cybertron, but quickly realized there would be a downside in that they would have to leave their friends on Earth behind. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}} Bumblebee was sent with Arcee to retrieve one of the keys, but they encountered Knock Out. Bumblebee was significantly damaged by the [[Resonance Blaster]] before the Decepticon got away with the key, and had to undergo repairs when the two Autobots returned to base. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} After Smokescreen escaped the ''Nemesis'' with two of the Omega Keys, the Autobots received a message from Starscream offering a trade for the fourth and final key. Bumblebee guarded the base with Smokescreen and Arcee, but using Red Energon, Starscream was able to infiltrate the base and steal their three keys anyway. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

As the Autobots equipped themselves to go to Cybertron in a last-ditch attempt to stop the Decepticons from using the [[Omega Lock]], Bumblebee took the [[polarity gauntlet]] from storage. During their battle with the Decepticons, he used it to reclaim the Omega Keys. The Autobots subsequently found the Omega Lock, only for the Decepticons to unveil their trump card in the form of the three kids as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Bumblebee was forced to hand over his Omega Key in exchange for Raf. After Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock to prevent Megatron destroying Earth, Bumblebee returned with the others to base, only to find that the Decepticons were attacking it. The Autobots were forced to abandon base, and Bumblebee and Raf bridged to a point somewhere in the US. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

[[File:DarkmountNV-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Fired?]]
After changing his paint scheme to foil the searching Vehicons, Bumblebee headed back towards Jasper with Raf. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} When Raf discovered a photo of Ratchet on a conspiracy website, the pair tracked him down in a junkyard and tried to convince him to help them use the ''Harbinger''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> systems. Apparently failing, Bumblebee and Raf went to the derelict ship themselves, and were joined shortly afterwards by Ratchet, who had had a change of heart. {{storylink|Scattered}} They managed to get some of the ship's systems working before Bumblebee spotted a starship incoming, which turned out to be [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] with most of the rest of Team Prime. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} Bumblebee and Arcee joined the attack on [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]], acting as a "stealth team" and infiltrating the citadel under cover of a diversion. Unfortunately they ran into heavy resistance and were taken captive, but when Optimus Prime arrived to join the assault, they renewed their attack on the Decepticons. Following the destruction of Darkmount, the Autobots assembled at a human military base. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

When it turned out the Decepticons were aiming to clone more Predacons, Optimus took Bumblebee and Smokescreen with him to [[Texas]] to investigate Decepticon activity. Despite the trio's best efforts, they were unable to prevent Shockwave and Soundwave obtaining more Predacon [[CNA]]. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

Bumblebee and the others took time out from hunting for Predacon fossils to secure some energon supplies, unaware it was part of a Decepticon plan to deceive the newly-intelligent [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Evolution}} He became upset when Smokescreen suggested that his broken voicebox was his "signature", as he would prefer to have his own voice back. He and the other Autobots attempted to stop the Decepticons from executing a series of raid on human technology, and were caught in a fire fight at the [[Solaris particle collider]] in Antarctica. {{storylink|Minus One}} Though they fought their way through the Decepticons, they were ultimately unable to stop the Decepticons stealing the needed technology, and on top of this, when they returned to base it was to find Ratchet had been abducted by Soundwave. {{storylink|Persuasion}} They launched the probe and monitored it and Optimus's progress from the base. Though the probe was destroyed, Ratchet was able to send them the coordinates to the Decepticon warship, and Bumblebee and the others geared up in preparation to assault the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Synthesis}}

[[File:Tfp bee down.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat your spark out, Optimus.]]
Bumblebee joined Arcee and Smokescreen in heading for the Omega Lock control room, though Smokescreen left them for a mission of his own. Despite encountering heavy resistance from Starscream, Arcee and Bumblebee made it to the control room, and when Smokescreen arrived with the Star Saber, Bumblebee attempted to pass the weapon to Optimus. As he jumped, he was hit by three blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] and died, however, he fell into the Omega Lock's energy field which restored him, including his damaged voice box.

Bumblebee took the opportunity to impale Megatron with the Star Saber, killing the Decepticon leader. With the ''Nemesis'' secured, the Autobots were able to take the ship to Cybertron, where they used the Omega Lock to restore their home world. Bumblebee gave Raf a sad farewell before he and the other Autobots returned home. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

In the aftermath of Cybertron's rebirth, Bumblebee was promoted to warrior, shortly before Optimus went off to find the AllSpark. With the discovery that there were two new Predacons on the loose, Bumblebee led a team of Autobots to find Predaking, but was unsuccessful in persuading him to help them. After encountering Unicron, in possession of Megatron's rebuilt form, the Autobots realized that the dark god intended to destroy their world. After foiling an attempt by Starscream to retake the warship, the Autobots attempted to defend the Well of All Sparks from Unicron's onslaught. It was only when Optimus returned that Unicron was defeated, and Bumblebee was later present when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore the AllSpark to Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

Bumblebee took part in the testing of Ratchet's newly developed [[Safe]]. After Bulkhead uncovered a nuke which attracted the attention of some Vehicons, Bumblebee, Optimus and Arcee went out to deal with the 'Cons. As Bumblebee knocked the Vehicons into the air, Optimus and Arcee blasted them, though Bumblebee was less than happy with the arrangement as he wanted to get to shoot them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.1|The Safe and the Failsafe}} Optimus took the other Autobots, including Bumblebee, on a trip to [[Valley of Fire State Park]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}

Bumblebee was playing video games with Raf when Fowler reported that the Decepticons had commandeered a [[Yamal|nuclear-powered ship]] near [[Antarctica]]. Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet GroundBridged to the ship, but on arrival Ratchet was knocked out by Starscream's [[static lance]]. Bumblebee attacked the Decepticon, dodging a swipe of the lance and then delivering a kick. Once he had possession of the lance, Bumblebee threw it to Optimus, who used it to defeat Megatron. After guiding the ship to its destination, the trio returned to base, which had been turned into an ice rink for some reason. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}

Raf and Bumblebee stopped off at [[Plug and Play]] to pick up Raf's copy of ''[[Invasionauts II]]''. Later at the base, Bumblebee found that Raf had let a bunch of Vehicons into the base, and was about to shut the [[GroundBridge]] down, when Raf stopped him. Raf, who had been temporarily hypnotised by the game, instead shut the bridge down in a way that sucked the remaining Vehicons back through and kept the location of the base concealed from the enemy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}

After the [[President of the United States]] was kidnapped, the Autobots traced the culprit, Starscream, to the [[Grand Canyon]]. Bumblebee and Arcee teamed up to take out the cannons manned by Vehicons that Starscream had brought along. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.6|All the President's 'Bots!}} Bulkhead and Bumblebee retrieved Knock Out's [[neuron refractor]] from China, unaware that a MECH agent had stowed away in it. After [[Novo|Agent Novo]] kidnapped Miko, the Autobots searched for the two humans, and located the MECH base in time for Novo, now occupying a mechanoid body, to return Miko. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.9|The Novo Incident}}

Bumblebee was on a team which went to the [[Deep Driller]] oil rig and fell into [[Rufus Madison|General Madison]]'s trap, finding themselves facing soldiers in [[robotic battle suit]]s. Bumblebee was able to defeat a couple of them by tricking them into bringing a crane down on themselves. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.10|Mad Dogs & Autobots}} Bumblebee took part in a mission to the ''Nemesis'' to rescue Bulkhead. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.11|The Battle for Bulkhead}}

During a battle in [[The Wave]], Bumblebee tried to protect the three kids, only to be knocked down by a projectile from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]. Ratchet patched him up and sent him back to base with Raf, but after the pair fell asleep watching a horror cartoon, Soundwave's disembodied hand crawled out of Bumblebee's chest wound and tried to kill them. Raf helped Bumblebee dispose of the hand, leaving their next task to explain to the arriving Autobots why the base was in such a mess. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.12|The Evil Shred}}

Bumblebee and Prime went on a stealth mission to stop Megatron destroying the [[Statue of Liberty]], but didn't last long until they were discovered. As Megatron immediately began climbing the statue, Optimus left Bumblebee to deal with the other Decepticons on his own, though he claimed he was brave enough to. As Megatron was about to decapitate the statue, Bumblebee threw one of the Vehicons at him, almost knocking him off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.13|Protecting the Lady}}

Bumblebee tracked a meteor to [[Wayward Island]], and ran into the [[Rescue Bot]]s and their attendant humans during his search. After joining up with them to find the meteorite, he returned with them to [[Griffin Rock]] and reported back to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who ordered him to spend some time with the team. When three of the Rescue Bots were stricken with a strange virus, Bumblebee helped out in a rescue, following which he accompanied the humans back to Wayward Island to deal with the meteorite. He ended up stuck in an undersea trench after rescuing [[Graham Burns]], and was himself rescued by [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Faced with an out-of-control bomb, the two Bots used it to destroy the meteorite, but were infected by the virus themselves. Luckily Bumblebee had picked up a sample of the meteorite which was used to find a cure to the virus, and after some photos, Bumblebee returned home. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

When the Rescue Bots were sent back in time to [[1939]], Bumblebee and Optimus went to Griffin Rock to embark on a journey back in time to help. They arrived in time to rescue the four Bots from [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] and returned with them to the [[Temporal Station|time machine]]. Back in the present, however, they found themselves in a Griffin Rock overrun with [[MorBot]]s. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} Optimus and Bumblebee were kept busy trashing MorBots while the Rescue Bots worked out what was going on.

When Bumblebee finally recovered, Ratchet assigned him to light duties patrolling with [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]]. Resenting the fact that everyone else was off fighting Predacons, Bumblebee was almost resigned to the most boring mission ever when Megatron turned up. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 23}} Bumblebee didn't get to take part in the fight though, because Prowl opted to let Megatron duke it out with the swarm of Predacons which promptly attacked the Decepticon leader. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 24}}

[[Image:WfC-IGN-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|The time has come and so have I... I'll laugh last 'cause you came to die.]]
During the Decepticons siege of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Bumblebee volunteered to be a message courier when communications became unreliable. Bumblebee was searching for the one called [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] when he was caught by a pair of Decepticons, only to be saved by Optimus and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. Informing Optimus of the death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Bumblebee accompanied Optimus and Ratchet to a command center where they were contacted by [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], who was leading the aerial counterattack and wanted Zeta to activate the [[planetary gun]]s. After informing Jetfire of Prime's death, Bumblebee helped Optimus and Ratchet make their way to the orbital defenses control room, where they activated the guns. Their next stop was the [[Decagon]], where they could reestablish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. They hit serious Decepticon resistance, including several [[Decepticon war machine]]s, but ultimately, with help from Jetfire and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]], the three made their way to the Decagon, where they faced the last obstacle: [[Air Commander|Sky Commander]] [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Beating the traitorous Seeker, Bumblebee witnessed a desperate communication from Zeta Prime, who was being held in the [[Kaon]] [[Kaon Prison Complex|Prison Complex]]. Optimus resolved to rescue Zeta, and Bumblebee accompanied him.

[[Image:WFC_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Autobots... [[Johnny Yong Bosch|It's Morphin' Time?"]]]]
Bumblebee, Optimus, and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] allowed themselves to be captured raiding supplies outside Kaon, and taken to the prison within the city. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] ordered them taken to recycling. Bumblebee didn't think that sounded bad, until Sideswipe told him to consider ''what'' they were recycling. As they made their way through the prison, Bumblebee's horror grew, until he was in a near panic when they placed against the firing wall. Fortunately, [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] finally arrived and killed the [[Heavy Soldier]]s about to execute them. Air Raid was forced to let himself be captured to let the others escape. Finally finding some weapons, the three made their way to a [[wall crawler]] and descended into the prison. Bumblebee asked if this was good or bad, and Optimus replied that it was purely a matter of perspective, while Sideswipe said he was enjoying himself. Soon, they reached a room where Megatron revealed that he had allowed Zeta's message to be broadcast simply to lure Optimus into a trap. After they fought off some Decepticons, Megatron simply teleported them to a prison cell without their weapons. Fortunately, Optimus managed to break the wall with his axe, freeing them. Optimus then explained he could not open the other prisoners' cells, despite Bumblebee's pleas. Heading to retrieve Air Raid, the three Autobots rescued the flier, who took them to the control which would open all the prison's hard locks. Unfortunately, Zeta was trapped under the facility, so the control wouldn't release him. While Air Raid took the freed Autobots back to Iacon, Bumblebee accompanied Optimus and Sideswipe underground to free Zeta, racing through the caverns as the Decepticons blew out the ground. Reaching Zeta Prime's cell, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe had to fight through Soundwave's minions to rescue the Autobot leader, but Soundwave stole some of Zeta's life energy and fled, killing the Prime. Taking his body back to Iacon, Bumblebee and Sideswipe bore witness to the [[Autobot High Council]] declaring that Optimus was now Optimus [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], leader of the Autobots.

During the evacuation of Cybertron, Megatron used Trypticon Station to fire on the Autobots' escape pods. After the Aerialbots destroyed Trypticon's conversion cog and sent him plummeting to the planet's surface, Bumblebee accompanied Optimus Prime and Ironhide to look for the crash site. Once Trypticon was found to still function, Bumblebee assisted in fighting him, overloading his shoulder cannons with energon batteries and destroying his heat vents. After greatly damaging Trypticon, Oprimus Prime declared Trypticon had lost and knocked him into an energon lake with his axe. Afterward, Bumblebee was present at the unveiling of the Ark, where he reminded Optimus Prime that Megatron was "still out there". {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

[[Image:WFCDS Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|89px|Small, but noisy.]]
When a distress call from Zeta Prime was received by the Autobots, they sent Bumblebee to find Optimus so they could repair the communications system. Bumblebee and Optimus were seen battling Decepticons together by an Autobot rookie when he arrived at the Autobot base. When Optimus was later disabled by [[laser guard]]s, Bumblebee was instrumental in reviving him, and helped him defeat [[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]]. After the Autobots retook [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Bumblebee exploded verbally at Ironhide, complaining that they'd already lost the war. Optimus told him that that attitude was just what Megatron wanted.

Prime's transmissions led the Autobots to infiltrate Kaon Prison, a place Bumblebee found terrifying to the point where Ironhide had to try and calm him and Optimus told them both to quiet down. They eventually found Zeta Prime, in time for their leader to expire. After Optimus was made the new Prime, the Autobots tried to enlist the help of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]]. Bumblebee slyly goaded Grimlock into challenging Optimus to a contest, however instead the Autobots ended up rescuing Swoop who'd been kidnapped by the Decepticons. The Autobots were forced to venture down to Cybertron's core to disable the Dark Energon corruptors, so that Cybertron's core could begin repairing itself, however the planet was left unable to sustain Transformer life.

As the Autobots began to evacuate in arks, Trypticon station began firing on them. Optimus prepared to take a team to the station to attack it from the inside, and Bumblebee was the first to volunteer to go along. They infiltrated the station and destroyed its power core, causing it to plunge from orbit. To the Autobots' surprise, the station transformed into a monster which Bumblebee found terrifying, but he still took part in the battle to destroy it. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}

In order to find out more about "Trypticon", Bumblebee and Ironhide were ordered to infiltrate a Decepticon datacore and extract the info stored inside it. Looking for a back way in, Ironhide uncovered a transit shaft, but it was too small for him to reconnoiter. Splitting up, Bumblebee took the shaft while Ironhide circled around to find another way in. Inside the datacore, they retrieved the intel on Trypticon, but were unable to escape without being noticed. The ruckus they raised in Kaon caught Megatron's attempt, and he arrived to fell both Autobots before they made it out of the city-state. Megatron subjected Bumblebee to a neural scanner to forcibly extract Autobot secrets from his mind. Bumblebee struggled to resist the scanner, but still unwillingly gave up some intel before Ironhide broke them both free. They eventually made it out of Kaon in one piece, thanks in part to the air support provided by Air Raid.

After the power supply was cut off to Trypticon from the Geosynchronous Energy Bridge, the Autobots began to prep supplies for their evacuation of the planet. On one such supply convoy, Bumblebee ran defensive reconnaissance to protect the convoy from Decepticon attack. Bumblebee blamed himself for allowing the decepticons to access his mind using the neural scanner, and was extra dedicated to the mission in his effort to redeem himself, even if only in his own eyes. He uncovered an ambush plot on the roadway, and alerted Optimus to the threat. Taking point, he intervened on several other ambush attempts along the way.

After Trypticon Station fell to Cybertron's surface and revealed itself as a gi-normous transforming creature, Bumblebee joined Optimus Prime and Ironhide in racing to the crash site to finish him off. They were separated during the journey, and had to fight through multiple Decepticon vanguards before even reaching Trypticon. Eventually, it was the combined firepower and teamwork of the Autobot forces that brought down the dangerous dinosaur. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
[[Image:FOC-GameInformerPrimeBumblebee.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards!]]
As the Autobots worked towards preparing the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] for launch, the Decepticons attacked the city. Bumblebee was helping out [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] with the wounded when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] arrived, and helped with an injured soldier. He was part of the bridge crew when the ship launched, and when they were intercepted by the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', defended the bridge alongside Optimus. Prime left to tend to the engine room, and Bumblebee was sent to replace a [[moleculon fuse|fuse]] so they could get the defense systems back up and running. He succeeded, allowing the ''Ark'' to start returning fire on the Decepticon ship, and began heading for the engine room. By the time he got there, Optimus and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] were engaged in a ferocious battle, with Optimus losing. As Megatron fired off a killing shot, Bumblebee threw himself in the way and took the shot to the chest. Enraged, Optimus renewed his assault on Megatron, but a short time later both ships were sucked through the [[space bridge]] portal. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: Prime - The Game''===
[[Image:Transformers prime the game bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I should probably say something...but that might be difficult.]]
The Autobots detected a massive asteroid of Dark Energon headed toward Earth, and intercepted the ''Nemesis'' crew attempting to retrieve the asteroid when bridging to the location. At the climax of the battle, the asteroid began to split apart and exploded. Team Prime fell to Earth and scattered across the country.

Bumblebee was captured by the Decepticons at some point, likely by Knock Out. However, when Raf had detected Bumblebee's life signal on Earth, he had come to rescue his friend. Freed by the human, Bumblebee followed Raf's directions in order to escape. Eventually, Bumblebee encountered Knock Out and Raf was kidnapped by the Decepticons while he was distracted.

Optimus dispatched Bumblebee and Arcee to investigate a part of the asteroid that landed on Earth being checked by a Decepticon signal, though Bumblebee scouted ahead and found that the signal was Dreadwing unearthing one of Thunderwing's missing components. Arcee helped Bumblebee in grounding Dreadwing, though he was the one who did the work in defeating him. Later, Arcee joined Bumblebee in bridging to the Nemesis to save Ratchet and the children, who had been captured by the Decepticons over this period of time. He was met yet again by Knock Out, and through trial & error had defeated him by driving him off the Nemesis.

The team regrouped, though missing Optimus, and Ratchet dispatched Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Arcee to chase Thunderwing in order to give him time to create a device to corrupt his Dark Energon core. Bumblebee was pretty shaken up by Megatron. Bumblebee later joined the rest of the team in watching the sun set after a day's hard work. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime - The Game}}

*'''Cybertronian Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
:*''Accessories: '' Handgun
: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' Cybertronian Bumblebee transforms from a yellow and black robot into a "Cybertronian courier mode". His toy comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun is held via [[5mm post]], and can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Bumblebee's head appears to have [[light-piping]], but his eyes are painted over in blue, thus rendering the gimmick neutered. His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:He and Cybertronian [[Optimus Prime (WFC)#Generations|Optimus Prime]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates in the United States via [[Toys"R"Us]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]], as well as [[retool]]ed into ''Generations/War for Cybertron'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper]] and ''United'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)#United|Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]]. In fact, Bumblebee's instructions depict him with Cliffjumper's head, revealing the retool before it was officially announced.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AM-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 arm-mounted blasters (Hasbro only), "B.2" Arms Micron (Takara only)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased posability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car-mode front section is geared together, so when the robot-mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster-weapons are now included, which use [[5mm post|5mm posts and holes]] to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the [[instructions]] are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof actually features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into [[Hot Shot (WFC)|Hot Shot]].

: In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of ''Prime'' toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new [[Arms Micron]] system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead coming with the Arms Micron [[B.2]], who transforms into an over-sized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His [[paint operation]]s have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof and rear window-frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill-parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car-mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (This actually allows for more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The [[instructions]] tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will ''destroy'' the stickers.

**''Accessories:'' Blaster pistol (Hasbro & Takara), "B.2 A" Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified transformation scheme, more accurate proportions, and a grand total of ''four'' [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheel]]s on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.

: His [[stock photography]] gives him a [[:Image:Transformers-Prime-Weaponizers-Bumblebee.jpg|''completely'' different vehicle deco]] compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer [[paint operation]]s overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of [[unpaintable plastic]], shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been ''significantly'' shrunk into what are essentially ''pinstripes''.

: A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.

:The Japanese release, dubbed '''Gatling Bumblebee''', sports metallic gold paint on most of his yellow plastic, and some sliver details. He comes with a gray version of his Arms Micron, B.2.

**''Accessories'': 2 arm-mounted blasters, Eagleshot Bow, 6 missiles

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: [[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is a redeco and extensive retool of the ''Robots in Disguise'' Deluxe Class Bumblebee mold, transforming into a heavily-modified Urbana 500 muscle car that's covered in spikes. Bumblebee's roof has been retooled with an additional 5mm peg-hole, and the hinge joint at the rear windshield has been removed.

:He retains the two arm-mounted blasters, and now additionally comes with a larger-scale "Eagleshot Bow", a large, spring-loaded [[missile]]-launching bow, as well as six missiles. The missiles can slide in and store on brackets in various places, with two brackets located on top of the bow, and two rotating brackets located on each door. The prods on the sides of the bow can be opened manually, but are meant to open automatically when a missile is inserted into the launcher.

:His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 1|first chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

**''Accessories:'' Sword

:Part of the first wave of 2014 ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' toy, though with minor detail differences and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.

:Hunter Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the ''Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Bumblebee toy, released in [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Transformers Go!]]'' toyline. He's cast in a slightly more orange shade of yellow and has some minor differences in paint as well, such as shinier headlights and entirely black lines on his hood as opposed to the ''Beast Hunters'' toy's partially silver ones.

:Part of the ''Prime''-portion of the ''[[Titan Heroes]]'' line, Bumblebee is a non-transforming 12" figure! Meant to be durable and inexpensive, the mold suffers from some unfortunate proportions. The door-wing piece is merely pegged in place, and he sports a whopping ''SEVEN'' points of articulation, including turning wrists! ''Wow.''

*'''Bumblebee''' (16-inch Titan Hero, 2013)

:Bumblebee was also available in a 16-inch version, which is a different sculpt.

==Notes==
[[Image:VectorSigmaBotBuilderBumblebee.jpg|thumb|Cheddar-flavored.]]
* ''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee was designed by [[Jim Daly]], and it's that specific character concept art that won [[Hasbro]] over on giving [[High Moon Studios]] the game.
* Bumblebee's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Runner-type chassis for [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]]-class characters. His parts are also available in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Recon-type components for the [[Infiltrator (FOC)|Infiltrator]] class (although his wheels can also be used by [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyers]]).
* [[Alex Irvine]] wrote the short story ''[[Bumblebee at Tyger Pax]]'', expanding on how Bumblebee lost his vocoder in ''Exodus''.
* [[Jeff Kline]] said why Bumblebee lost his voice will be revealed in season two of ''Prime'',<ref>[http://collider.com/roberto-orci-jeff-kline-interview-transformers-prime/75039/ Collider interview]</ref> though [[Duane Capizzi]] broke the suspense when he said it would be for the same reason as ''Exodus''.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/bonus-q--a-with-transformers-prime-creators---answered-171430/ TFW Q&A]</ref>
*In the end credits for WFC, Bee drives up, and '''HALF''' of the Autobots get out. Weird. Guess his father was a clown car.
* Bumblebee's [[license plate]] in "[[Speed Metal]]" is "'''936 SOH'''".
* Unlike [[Bumblebee (Movie)|that other mute Bumblebee]], who cannot directly communicate at all, and who splices together radio signals as a primitive method of conveying his thoughts, the beeps and tones produced by ''Prime'' Bumblebee seem to be a language of their own, which is fully understood by other Cybertronians (and, oddly, Raf).
* Bumblebee's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Bumblebee parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop. Unlike most of his peers, who were hue-shifted into different colors, Bumblebee seems to look exactly the same as he always does.
*Bumblebee is a guest on the DVD/Blu-Ray commentary for "Shadowzone". [[Dave Hartman]] apparently shares Raf's ability to understand him.
*According to the Autobits version of [[Darkmount, NV]], [[Frank Welker]] records words for Bumblebee, which are then replaced with the character's normal beeping sounds.
* 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 Beast Hunters Bumblebee (who beeped as he drove across the screen), [[Blades_(RB)|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!", 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.

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Bumblebee has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[Image:DarknessRising4 CybSat-BeeBanBan.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gahqavv9aUQ You've got to aim for the kneecaps and then kick her head off.]"]]

*'''Striker Mode''' (ストライカーモード ''Sutoraikā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
:The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.2 is mounted on his left arm, with [[R.A.]] on his right, while [[C.L.]] and [[O.P.]] take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).

*'''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode''' (メチャウチバンバンモード ''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, O.P., R.A.
:Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]".

*'''Mecha Uchi Kidō Type''' (メチャウチ機動タイプ ''Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L.
: Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.2 on one arm and C.L. on the other. ''Exciting.'' But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mechya Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....

*'''Infection Mode''' (インフェックションモード ''Infuekkushon Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, Terrorcon Zori
: Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using [[Zori#Toys|Terrorcon Zori]] in his right hand, and B.2 in his left. Wooo.

:''Twinstrike is a [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:TwinstrikeBH-wallpaper.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]

[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] had hoped that giving '''Twinstrike''' an extra head would result in a higher intelligence stat. Unfortunately, it just doubled the Predacon's violent rage and seething impatience. Though Twinstrike isn't smart or particularly good at anything, he is amazingly courageous and strong, and his Piston Hammer isn't anything to sneeze at, either.

He and several of his fellow Predacons combine to form [[Abominus (Prime)|Abominus]].

==Fiction==
===''Full of Fire!''===
Twinstrike joined five other Predacons in an attack on the Autobots. Unfortunately the Autobots had just built themselves new weapons, which proved to be more than effective against the Predacons. Twinstrike tried to attack [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] by smashing a rock, only to be hit by the Autobot's [[Eagleshot Bow]]. The Predacons were beaten into a retreat, and withdrew back to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]''. {{storylink|Full of Fire!}}

Twinstrike was one of several Predacons who broke free of Shockwave's lab, causing the Decepticon scientist to flee. Information on him could be found via the lab's numerous data terminals. {{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

*'''Twinstrike''' (Cyberverse Legion, 2013)
**''Series / Number:'' '''3 / 002'''
**''Accessories'': Piston Hammer

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime:]] [[Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Twinstrike transforms into a twin-headed dragon, and comes with a "Piston Hammer" which can also be used as a cannon. His dragon head hands can hold the weapon via the latter's three [[C joint|3mm post]]s, and he and the weapon feature numerous 3mm mounting points.

:His [[instructions]] neglect to mention that his feet should be rotated during transformation. Also not called out in the instructions, Twinstrike combines with ''Cyberverse'' [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)#Cyberverse|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Windrazor (Prime)#Cyberverse|Windrazor]], [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Cyberverse|Predacon Rippersnapper]], and [[Blight (Prime)#Cyberverse|Blight]] to form [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]], with Twinstrike forming the left arm.

:The figure suffers from a [[design flaw]] in which the pin that holds the rotating leg armor may fall out.

:His hammer accessory was also used, in varying colors, by [[Prowl (WFC)#Cyberverse|Prowl]], [[Blight (Prime)#Cyberverse|Blight]], and [[Rot Gut]]. This toy was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' [[Garara]].

:The back of the [[packaging]] mistakenly switches their names, resulting in, among others, Hun-Gurr getting Twinstrike's name, and Twinstrike being called "Predacon Rippersnapper".

:This set is a [[Target]] [[exclusive]] in the [[United States of America|United States]] and [[Canada]], and a [[Tesco]] exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].
