'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. 2023 saw multiple new releases that resulted in all seven live-action movies being included in the line.

===''Age of Extinction''===
[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_Mega_1-step.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Mega 1-Step Bumblebee]]
Outside of the "''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''"-branded toylines, ''Buzzworthy'' saw the surprise return of [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|''Age of Extinction''{{'}}s ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Mega1Step|Mega 1-Step Bumblebee]]. The new packaging still features the iconography of that movie's toyline.

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_Trash_Crash.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Spark Armor Bumblebee and Trash Crash]]
''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' mostly goes for re-releases to represent the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]]'' corner of the franchise, with the only exception so far being "Spark Armor" Bumblebee's smaller partner, a redecoed version of [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s partner [[Trash Crash]]. In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

[[File:Buzzworthy_Crash_Combiner_Bumblegrim.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|By this far down the page, the word "Bumblebee" has lost all meaning.]]
Apparently leaving no stone unturned, ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' reaches into the 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]] and brings back some [[Crash Combiner]]s, now rechristened as "Crash & Combine" toys. These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style. We've elected to keep things simple and put them on the ''Robots in Disguise'' characters' pages.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Omegafix:

{{welcome}}
Nice to see another person who's willing to provide toy pictures! :-) --[[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] ([[User talk:Inkblot|talk]]) 19:39, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Hey, just wanted to drop by with a big thumbs up for your work adding stock photos and filling out redlinks. Your time and effort is much appreciated! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 02:38, 8 October 2014 (EDT)
:Thanks! I'm glad to help the wiki. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 17:24, 8 October 2014 (EDT)

Fiction sections should be written "in universe" as if the events were real. Your additions to Runway, Heavytread, Windshear and Centuritron were descriptions of game play. In universe, characters are not "unlocked" and there is no "player". --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 07:12, 13 February 2015 (EST)
:Understood. But since there's no story in Battle Tactics, then what should be written about the game in the characters' articles? --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 11:19, 13 February 2015 (EST)
::In that case something vague but informative about the overall premise usually does the trick. I haven't played the game, but from what I've seen, maybe something along the lines of "Centuritron was a participant in a series of battles taking place in various Earth environments.

Centuritron could be recruited to [[you]]r roster of warriors by promoting Windshear, Runway and Heavytread each to their maximum "level." He was, to date, the strongest recruitable warrior that could participate in the conflict."

Maybe also noting if the character uses any signature special ability or weapons, or if he/she can be only be "recruited" in a certain environment or under certain circumstances, whatever. Also, although the word "player" doesn't fit into in-fiction write-ups, we do have an article for "[[you]]" so refering the player that way is fair game. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 11:56, 13 February 2015 (EST)

Appreciate all the Battle Tactics sprite additions. I thought about doing it myself but my phone has crappy resolution and also I'm pretty lazy. -[[User:LV|LV]] ([[User talk:LV|talk]]) 01:11, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

===About your Transformers:Battle Tactics Images===
I'm planning to replace them with my own images. If you haven't heard, this game is closing in May, and before it closes the game has finale event where I am to collect all the bots in the game.

Theses images are all a standard size, and shows all bots' upgrade profiles at their max level, unlike your images, which are from the Character build selection (not all bots can be built) and at mostly level 1. Also, you didn't get any images of the bots with multiple forms, such as Bumblebee and the Seekers.

Apologies for replacing your images, I feel it would be better than adding new extra images on this wiki. But you did provide good early images
of the early versions of the bots before they were re-balanced.

[[User:Woo224|Woo224]] ([[User talk:Woo224|talk]]) 09:33, 9 April 2016 (EDT)
: Go ahead, I'm sure you can do a great work. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 10:37, 13 April 2016 (EDT)

== Your edit to Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon) ==

Jalaguy reverted your edit due to multiple grammar and spelling errors, but a quick search also shows that it was extremely similar to announcements at tfw2005.com, seibertron.com, and tformers.com. These are all apparently based on a press release. Please note that we do not copy (and that includes paraphrases as close as your contribution was) official material. All contributions here should be in your own words. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 08:06, 20 April 2017 (EDT)
:It wasn't me. Only thing I did was change "Blurr (RID)" to "Blurr (Prime)". Don't know about any of the other stuff.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 10:03, 20 April 2017 (EDT)
::Oops. Sorry, I misread the edit history. My apologies. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 12:00, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

== Star Was TFs vs Crossovers ==

I reverted several of your moves from Crossovers to SWTFs because all of the ones I checked were acually released in packaging bearing the TF Crossovers logo. I do not have time to check all of your edits (and should not need to). You need to go back and double check the rest to insure that you did not make the same error in other cases.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 07:36, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
:I can do it, no problem. The thing is though, because I'm no expert and there's a lot of packaging variants between SWTF and Crossovers, I ultimately based my judgement on our own SWTF page claiming those toys belong there rather than in Crossovers. If that information is wrong, then those pages should be corrected (preferably by someone who knows it for sure). -- [[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 10:13, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
::The ORIGINAL releases were in SWTF packaging. Many of the rereleases were in TF Crossovers packaging. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 14:26, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
::Do a simple Google search. I was able to find pictures of in package samples of both the SWTF and the TF Crossovers releases for all of the toys that I reverted you on. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 14:28, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
:::Alright alright, I get it. All I'm saying is, our articles on both toylines should be clearer about all re-releases and repackagings to avoid this very scenario. I can't be blamed for trusting the wiki, can I? -- [[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 15:52, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

I added movie overlinks to entries that weren't using them to make them consistent to the rest of the overlinks on the page, you remove them and say "we don't use them, not even on the main studio series page" (which isn't 100% true BTW) so then I remove the rest of the overlinks to make the page once again consistent because as you said "we don't use overlinks" so once I do that suddenly "its ok to use overlinks sometimes"

dude make up your mind

'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

[[File:TF-SS-TFTM-BB-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Voyager Class ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ironhide]]]]
Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. 2023 saw multiple new releases that resulted in all seven live-action movies being included in the line.

''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' mostly goes for re-releases to represent the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]]'' corner of the franchise, with the only exception so far being "Spark Armor" Bumblebee's smaller partner, a redecoed version of [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s partner [[Trash Crash]]. In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

Apparently leaving no stone unturned, ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' reaches into the 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]] and brings back some [[Crash Combiner]]s, now rechristened as "Crash & Combine" toys. These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style. We've elected to keep things simple and put them on the ''Robots in Disguise'' characters' pages.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style. We've elected to keep things simple and put them on the ''Robots in Disguise'' characters' pages.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-07-01T21:01:23Z

Omegafix: Going by Fritz "argument" with Shadow Panther I am listing them by their order on the packaging

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-07-01T15:48:55Z

Omegafix: Undo revision 1704918 by Omegafix (talk)

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-07-01T15:33:06Z

Omegafix: /* Rise of the Beasts */

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style.

The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Outside of the "''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''"-branded toylines, ''Buzzworthy'' saw the surprise return of [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|''Age of Extinction''{{'}}s ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Mega1Step|Mega 1-Step Bumblebee]].

''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' mostly goes for re-releases to represent the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]]'' corner of the franchise, with the only exception so far being "Spark Armor" Bumblebee's smaller partner, a redecoed version of [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s partner [[Trash Crash]]. In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

Apparently leaving no stone unturned, ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' reaches into the 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]] and brings back some [[Crash Combiner]]s, now rechristened as "Crash & Combine" toys. These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style. We've elected to keep things simple and put them on the ''Robots in Disguise'' characters' pages.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-07-01T15:15:35Z

Omegafix: /* War for Cybertron Trilogy */

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

===''Bumblebee''===
The then-recent ''Bumblebee'' movie toyline was represented in ''Buzzworthy'' through unchanged re-releases starting with a repackaged [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Power Charge Bumblebee]].

A two-pack consisting of two "Energon Igniters" figures was listed at Target's website as being co-branded as part of the seventh installment in the [[live-action film series]], ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', ahead of the official announcement of ''any'' toys connected to it. Later on, when the two-pack was listed again on the [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong page, the branding on the packaging was changed to that of the ''Bumblebee'' film, presumably due to the one-year delay of the ''Rise of the Beasts'' release date.

Apparently leaving no stone unturned, ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' reaches into the 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]] and brings back some [[Crash Combiner]]s, now rechristened as "Crash & Combine" toys. These partially automorphing toys curiously make use of "[[evergreen]]" designs for each individual character art – though the combiner identities are rendered in the characteristic ''Robots in Disguise'' art style. We've elected to keep things simple and put them on the ''Robots in Disguise'' characters' pages.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-07-01T15:05:51Z

Omegafix: /* Studio Series */ added/fixed movie links

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

2023-06-29T20:33:08Z

Omegafix: corrected year

[[File:Buzzworthy_Bumblebee_logo.jpg|center|upright=2.2]]
 
'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. Initially, it was a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unreleated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

The line is [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States, and to [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada.

==Toys==
Owing to the... ''unsystematic'' layout of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, as well as its lack of any advance notice in terms of release schedule, we've elected to delineate this page into what toylines each figure (or multi-pack) supplements. The alternative would be to try and force a structure onto something that plainly doesn't have one, and that way lies madness. That said, the toylines being supplemented are listed in rough order of their introduction into the ''Buzzworthy'' line.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
[[File:TF-WFC-Trilogy-Buzzworthy-BB-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Core Class Bumblebee]]
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' portion of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' features the majority of the subline's new tooling, including two all-new molds: a diminutive Core Class Bumblebee (retailing for five (or more) bucks more than the regular Core Class, owing to an included Spike Witwicky mini-figure), and a Deluxe Class "Origin Bumblebee", representing the character's Cybertronian mode from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" for the first time in toy form. A "Worlds Collide" multi-pack also falls under this banner, and its selection of characters, combined with the volcanic environment depicted on Core Class Bumblebee's card art, more specifically ties these toys to the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' subline in all but name.

Tying into ''[[Studio Series]]'', this assortment copies that line's packaging design – including the cardboard diorama backdrops – but replaces ''Studio''{{'}}s ubiquitous red design elements with a friendly yellow. The first Deluxe Class assortment consists of figures mostly [[package refresh|redecoed and/or retooled]] from previous ''Studio Series'' releases, with each toy gaining a "BB" as part of its ID number to differentiate it from its mainline release. The 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee actually ended up coming out ''earlier'' than its [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS74|"regular" counterpart]]. 2021 saw the addition of "Battle Packs", comprising of new backdrops and re-releases (or minor redecoes) of ''Studio'' toys dating back three years prior, and even a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|a toy]] predating ''Studio Series'' entirely! A second Deluxe Class assortment followed in late 2021, now diversifying, like the main ''Studio Series'' line, into screen-accurate toys of characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four unchanged Warrior Class figures, an assortment of thus far eight equally unchanged 1-Step Changers and a boxed set of three unchanged Deluxe Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put them all here for the sake of convenience.

==Notes==
*The "Worlds Collide" multi-pack made headlines for suddenly appearing at a [[Walmart]] store (due to an apparent shipment error) in the U.S., rather than the line's exclusive retailer, Target.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/buzzworthy-bumblebee-worlds-collide-inhand-images.1216835/ TFW2005 discussion with screenshots, 26 July 2021</ref> Similarly, the two Crash & Combine sets popped up at a Toys"R"Us in Canada before any U.S. sighting.
*The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toyline's exclusivity was split between two stores in [[New Zealand]], with Kmart only carrying "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee" and the Core Class "Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky" two-pack, while Farmers carried the rest. On the other hand, several items, such as the "Worlds Collide" pack, never saw release in New Zealand. While likewise not receiving all items, [[Australia]] saw a similar release split between K-Mart and its version of Target for the majority of the line with larger items like the "Worlds Collide" set instead appearing at Mr Toys Toyworld, JB Hi-fi and EB Games/Zing.
