:''Ratchet is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Animated continuity family]].''
[[File:AniRatchetPromoModel.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Rassa-frassa [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|KIDS]] with their [[Bumblebee (Animated)|loud music]] and their [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|rocket-powered axes]]...]]

Before the [[Great War (Animated)|Great Wars]], '''Ratchet''' was a [[Protihex Medical Mechanics University|civilian mechanic]], and one of the best on all of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. But war is hell, and Ratchet learned that all too well. It left him bitter and cynical. After the war, he got himself placed in a dead end position of repairing [[space bridge]]s, seeing it as a chance to get away from what he had experienced. And in his experience, "hero" is another word for casualty, because that's what most of the heroes ended up being. Still, he knows one when he sees it, and [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] definitely is one.

His main "weapons" are two electromagnets that can extend from his forearms. With them, he can move metal-based objects, levitate downward from high heights, manipulate or tear apart metallic objects in midair, or create magnetic shields. More recently, he won his [[electromagnetic pulse]] generator back from [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] the bounty hunter, a device capable of knocking out a [[Transformer]].

He enjoys grumbling about almost everything, being sarcastic, and having war flashbacks, just like any old man.

''Millions of years ago, Ratchet arrived at [[Hydrax Plateau]] looking for survivors of a Decepticon chemical attack, which had slaughtered soldiers from both sides. The only survivor was a Decepticon named [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]]. Against orders, Ratchet tried to save his life. Oil Slick, however, revealed he had the formula for an antidote to the chemical, known to the grunts as "[[Cosmic Rust (disease)|cosmic rust"]], but he lacked the equipment to create it. Ratchet warily agreed to help, and as they worked, tried to learn a little bit more about who was fighting. Once the cure was complete, Ratchet used it on Oil Slick, who promptly revealed he had created the cosmic rust, didn't care if his own soldiers got killed, and infected Ratchet before driving off. However, Ratchet had managed to snag some of the antidote, so he used a little on himself and took the rest back to headquarters for mass production, regretfully realizing he'd learned a little bit about a good deception that day.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 3#"'Bots_of_Science"|'Bots of Science}} {{storylink|Bots of Science}}

[[File:Ratchetanimatedthrill.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Before the gut.]]
Some time later, Ratchet was sent by [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] on a wartime mission to recover Autobot intelligence officer [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], who was carrying important security codes in her memory core. Shortly after he found her, the pair were captured by the [[Decepticon]]-affiliated bounty hunter [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]]. The hunter made a habit of collecting the powers of defeated enemies as trophies and did so with Ratchet's medical EMP device. Before he could attach it, Arcee was able to pass the device to Ratchet, and she begged him to use it on her to wipe the codes and preserve their safety. In the ensuing skirmish with Lockdown, the device accidentally produced a wider blast, erasing Arcee's entire memory. Ratchet would have flashbacks of the incident for centuries to come. During the skirmish, Ratchet lost his hold on his EMP generator, Lockdown claiming it as a trophy. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

[[File:TransWarped-youngRatchetArcee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|In your heeeeeaad, in your heeeeead, zombie zombie zombie-ee-ee...]]
After returning Arcee to Autobot territory, Ratchet was ordered by Ultra Magnus to perform open processor surgery on Arcee to retrieve the access codes. As the operation began, Arcee uploaded the codes into Ratchet's processor, so he was conducted to a secret hangar and introduced to [[Project Omega]] a.k.a. Omega Supreme. [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]], along with [[Highbrow (Animated)|Highbrow]] and Ultra Magnus, explained that Omega was the Autobots' last line of defense against the Decepticons and that the codes that Arcee was carrying were for Omega's activation. Arcee was supposed to be Omega's mentor to imprint upon and take orders from, but now Ratchet had inherited her role. Hearing that Omega had been built with a simple processor in order to carry out his duties with no remorse, Ratchet refused to teach him to be a weapon of mass destruction and instead tried to instruct him to be an Autobot.

[[File:TransWarped-Ratchetaltmode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Ratchet's older than the wheel.]]

Upon winning the Great War against a massive Decepticon onslaught, Omega was damaged extensively and at risk of losing his Spark. Ratchet was able to put him into a modified stasis until he could repair the giant. Before going into stasis, Omega questioned how he could be an Autobot but destroy like a Decepticon. The best assurance Ratchet could offer was, "We do what we must, even though sometimes it doesn't make sense", and he coaxed the giant Autobot to rest. {{storylink|TransWarped}} Ratchet stayed with Omega after he'd been repurposed as a space bridge repair vessel. During one repair, Ratchet dropped an explosive down a shaft, destroying [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]'s [[Dawn Treader|starship]], leading the cyber-ninja to sign onto the crew for a lift back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

During a routine repair assignment with Optimus Prime's crew, Ratchet and the rest of the group found the [[AllSpark]]. His first reaction upon seeing it was to urge the others to throw it through the space bridge. However, events soon overtook them when [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] arrived and tried to claim the AllSpark. The Autobots took their ship through the space bridge, where Prime defeated Megatron, and the crew was forced to go into stasis to avoid injury in a crash-landing on [[Earth]].

Awakening fifty years later, the Autobots went to help battle a renegade nanomachine construct, while Ratchet studied a specimen of the construct on the ship. Learning that it was vulnerable in its command centers, Ratchet sent a kill program to the Autobots to place in the monster. His program worked.

[[File:TFA Home Spark assembly attack.JPG|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]
Ratchet had the most difficulty getting used to Earth's customs, as the humans kept interrupting his stasis naps to put parking tickets on him. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}} {{storylink|Dispatches}} To make things more complicated, those annoying camera bots followed the Autobots everywhere. Always watching, waiting... Ratchet was sure to make his displeasure over the Autobots' current situation heard as he helped assemble their new secret base. He was nonetheless exposed to some of Earth's culture when Sari came over to have a "slumber party" with them. The activities only served to confuse Ratchet further on Earth's customs. The sleep-over was interrupted by the base's machinery going haywire and attacking the Autobots. Despite trying to shield himself with his magnetic powers, Ratchet was damaged in the attack, sidelining him for most of it. Thankfully, Bumblebee managed to shut down all of the machinery. One last act of sabotage had to be dealt with however, and Ratchet worked in tandem with Bulkhead, Prowl and Optimus to get rid of a leaking fuel tank before it blew all of them to smithereens. In the attack's aftermath, Ratchet pointed out that they had dealt with an intelligence sophisticated enough to merge their base's security sensors with its assembly line. Things eventually simmered down, and Ratchet looked on as the team's younger 'bots played a game of Twister™ with Sari. {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

Ratchet joined Optimus, Prowl and Bulkhead in an attempt to learn more about Earth customs by watching television, only to stumble across a broadcast of Bumblebee wrestling [[Colossus Rhodes]]. When it became apparent that Rhodes had gone berserk, Ratchet and the Autobots sped to Bumblebee's aid. Ratchet used his magnetic powers to prevent his tiny team-mate from being smushed flat by a car Rhodes hurled at him. Smarting over the public embarrassment, Rhodes's employer and Isaac Sumdac's rival [[Meltdown (Animated)|Prometheus Black]]—aka the acidic mutate Meltdown—sought revenge, sabotaging Sumdac's new police drones; Ratchet was able to expose Black's involvement when Sari brought him a piece of drone to examine, and he observed the effects of a powerful corrosive on it. Seeking to protect Sumdac from further reprisals by Black, the Autobots headed for Sumdac Tower, only to find that Black had already been sealed inside with Sumdac by a force-field security system. Ratchet used his magnetic powers to open a small hole in the field, allowing Bumblebee and Sari to enter and deactivate it while Ratchet and the others held off Colossus Rhodes. Using her key, Sari then channeled the tower's force-field through Ratchet's magnets, allowing him to trap Black in a force-field bubble and end his threat. {{storylink|Total Meltdown}}

[[File:AttentionSurplusDisorder-RatchetandBulkheadrescueBlimp.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
''Ratchet was with the rest of the team when they watched a news broadcast, showing Prowl and Bumblebee inadvertently exposing the [[Wraith]]'s modus operandi. Later, when Bumblebee apprehended Colossus Rhodes, Ratchet helped sign autographs for the grateful Detroiters. Later still, when the Autobots saw "Bumblebee" attack Michigan Stadium, Ratchet helped clear the little Autobot's name by halting what was really a plot by the increasingly jealous and irrational Wraith.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 2|Attention Surplus Disorder}}

[[File:Stiletto-RatchetandPrimeavertdisaster.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
''Ratchet joined the rest of the Autobots into investigating a theft at Sumdac's laboratories. They found out that the crime in question had been committed by an industrial saboteur going by the name of "[[Stiletto (Animated)|Stiletto]]". She soon attempted to collapse Detroit's Ambassador Bridge, prompting the Autobots to leap into action. During the confrontation, Ratchet helped repair the bridge to prevent it from collapsing beneath their feet. He then stopped Stiletto from making a quick getaway, using his magnetic abilities to grab her motorcycle from beneath her. Ultimately, Optimus managed to capture Stiletto, and Ratchet would later be seen helping fix the Autobots injured during the battle at their headquarters.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 3|Stiletto}}

[[File:Insincerest-BulkheadandRatchet.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
''Ratchet and the other Autobots had to calm Bulkhead down when Porter C. Powell began to market the template for Bulkhead's altmode as a vehicle for the everyday citizen, and further rubbed salt in the wound by using highly-doctored footage to have Bulkhead "promote" the vehicle. After Bulkhead had a confrontation with the Angry Archer and Professor Princess, Ratchet examined a piece of a Bulkhead retrieved from the crime scene by the same-named Autobot. His analysis proved that the vehicles were highly unsafe for day-to-day commute. Sari and Bulkhead worked together to prove that the Bulkheads were unsafe, and Powell was forced to recall the line. Afterwards, Ratchet pondered as to who in their right processor would be willing to parade about in one of the garish paint-jobs that many Bulkheads had been customized with... only for Bumblebee to enter the room with an equally garish new color-scheme.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 4|The Insincerest Form of Flattery}}

Sari invited the Autobots to visit her father's theme-park, "[[Dino Drive]]", which featured robotic dinosaurs. Being his usual curmudgeon self, Ratchet was sure to make it known that he wasn't impressed by how old the Dinosaurs were... after all, the Autobots were much older! Though their first visit ended in disaster for the animatronics, the Autobots' second visit to the park was a little more eventful, as the animatronics attacked back! Teaming up with Bumblebee, Ratchet unleashed an electro-magnetic pulse to shut down the "[[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]]". But when Sari used her key to boost their attack, she unwittingly granted the trio Sparks. Later, the Dinobots awoke in full consciousness, and began running wild in Detroit, leading to yet another confrontation against the Autobots. An EMP blast didn't work against [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]], [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] and [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] this time around, and Ratchet found himself completely overwhelmed. Thankfully, Bulkhead managed to trap the Dinobots in a tar pit, nullifying the threat they posed to the city. {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

[[File:TFA Thrill Hunt Ratchet Lockdown reunion.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Duh-nananana... waw ''waw'' waw.]]
To Ratchet's horrified disbelief, Lockdown appeared on Earth and captured Optimus Prime, intending to hand him over to the vengeful remaining Decepticons for the bounty offered against him. The Autobots attempted a rescue, with Ratchet initially absent due to haunting flashbacks over his last encounter with the bounty hunter. He was forced to intervene after Lockdown incapacitated [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]. Ratchet was able to free his commanding officer and retrieve his EMP device, using it to send [[Death's Head (Animated)|Lockdown's ship]] crashing back to Earth. After reinstalling Prime's stolen gadgets, the veteran finally opened up to the younger soldier. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

After Sari "borrowed" a couple of rocket prototypes from her father's workshop, Bumblebee pleaded with Ratchet for him to attach the devices to his chassis. Ratchet refused, stating that it could only lead to Bumblebee causing more damage to himself than usual, which Ratchet would be forced to fix. Too bad Sari went ahead and upgraded Bumblebee with her Key anyways. Later, Ratchet helped nab the super-thief [[Nanosec]] after he had stolen a sample of unstable [[Destronium]] from Sumdac Laboratories. The capture ran into quite a few problems, most of them caused by Bumblebee's uncontrollable boosters. Ratchet had the sense to advise Bumblebee to transform into robot mode, stopping him from running wild. When Nanosec was finally stopped, and the Destronium was in the Autobots’ possession, Ratchet inspected the canister. His scans revealed that the Destronium could explode at any moment. Bulkhead and Prowl helped Bumblebee get into the upper atmosphere, where the Destronium detonated harmlessly; and Ratchet and Optimus slowed Bumblebee's descent as he came plummeting back to Earth. {{storylink|Nanosec (episode)|Nanosec}}

Ratchet and the other Autobots attended Sari's eight birthday party. There, Ratchet showed an... unusual amount of enthusiasm over Sari smashing her piñata. He was less impressed by Bulkhead's clumsy attempt at joining in the activity. Though Ratchet wound up entertaining Sari's guests, Sari herself was left behind with Bulkhead. A few days after the event, [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]], once one of Sari's toys, now a Decepticon menace, took control of Detroit's automatons in an attempt to subjugate the human population. Ratchet teamed up with Prowl to fight back against the hostile robots, but between their sheer numbers and Soundwave interfering with the Autobots’ comm-links, he found himself being overwhelmed. Once Bulkhead took care of Soundwave, the automatons returned to their normal state, and the fighting came to an end. {{storylink|Sound and Fury (episode)|Sound and Fury}}

When the Decepticons [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] arrived on Earth, the Autobots were quickly bested by the duo. Prime realized that the AllSpark was no longer safe on the planet and decided that they should leave Earth and return to Cybertron. [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]] was not pleased by this, but Ratchet's response was a gruff, "Grow up". When Optimus asked Sari to help, Ratchet was displeased with the thought of working with a "[[protoform]]", but Optimus silenced them by making it an order. Once aboard the Autobots' ship, Sari accidentally opened an airlock, nearly flooding the hold, then admitted that she had tried to sabotage the ship, not wanting them to leave. In a moment of empathy, Ratchet told her the Autobots didn't want to leave either, but they had to, or else the Decepticons would wipe out the humans, including Sari, and Ratchet couldn't live with himself if that happened. With the help of a now-willing Sari, Ratchet brought the ship's weapons back online, defeating Lugnut and Blitzwing. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

Seeing as Sari would likely be a target for the Decepticons in the future, the Autobots decided to train her in combat techniques. When Captain Fanzone found out about this, after Sari had been abducted from her room, he expressed disbelief over the fact. Ratchet responded gruffly that it was better the Autobots teach Sari "ninja nerve blows", rather than she pick it up on the street. Once Sari was rescue however, her training was discontinued, as she proved capable of taking care of herself, in her own unique way. {{storylink|Survival of the Fittest}}

After his latest rescue mission ended in destructive disaster, Bulkhead attempted to pick up painting, to prove he could create as well as destroy. Unfortunately, Ratchet didn't "get" Bulkhead's art. As a point of contention, Ratchet pointed out that art was a waste of time, since it couldn't be used to save anyone. Later, [[Headmaster (Animated)|Henry Masterson]], aka "The Headmaster" stole Bulkhead's body, and used it to hold the entire city at ransom, threatening to overload the local [[Sidney Biggles-Jones Memorial Solar Fusion Plant|power plant]]. The Autobots battled the villain, but found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer destructive power that The Headmaster unleashed with Bulkhead's body. After an arduous struggle, The Headmaster fled, leaving Bulkhead's body behind. But at this point, the power plant was ready to blow. Working together, the Autobots quickly built an "art piece" robot, who took the fatal trip into the plant's core, and halted the chain reaction within. Bulkhead pointed out that Ratchet had been wrong, as "art" had indeed saved the city of Detroit. Ratchet must have acquiesced the point somewhat, as he accompanied Bulkhead to his art show later that day. {{storylink|Headmaster (episode)|Headmaster}}

[[File:Megatron Rising 1 Ratchet Blitzwing Key.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Hey! I'm still using that!]]
After receiving a report on increased Decepticon activity from [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Teletran-1]], Optimus ordered Ratchet to remove the [[AllSpark Key]] from Sari's possession forcibly, as it was no longer safe in the hands of a [[Human|dumb stubby]]. Ratchet was hesitant to take the object from the girl, but followed his superior's orders with a gruff, professional "Yessir." After Sari fled the base in tears, Optimus then told Ratchet to take the Key to the Autobots' ship, under [[Lake Erie]], in order to protect the [[AllSpark]] from the Decepticons. Unfortunately, the medibot was intercepted by Blitzwing and Lugnut, who demanded that he hand over the Key. He stoically refused, challenging them to take it from his "cold, offline servo". Icy Blitzwing complied by blasting Ratchet and the surrounding scenery with an ice beam. He switched to Random Blitzwing, made a smart remark, and wrenched the Key (and the arm holding it) from Ratchet.

Despite this handicap, the mechanic was able to break free from his icy prison, report the AllSpark Key's theft to Optimus, single-handedly bring the ship online (pun intended), {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 1}} rescue Sari from Blackarachnia, pick up the rest of the team at Sumdac Tower, and still participate later in the battle against [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and his forces. Once Optimus dispersed the AllSpark and defeated Megatron, Sari used her key to restore Ratchet to full working order. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 2}}

Though the Autobots managed to drive off the Decepticons, Detroit was damaged throughout the battle. Optimus's crew helped restore the area best they could, but they found that the humans now viewed them as potential menaces, instead of heroes. Ratchet understood why the humans would have trouble differentiating Autobot from Decepticon after such destruction befell them. Then the [[Sigma Supreme|Elite Guard's ship]] touched down nearby, and Ratchet drove off with the others to meet its occupants. But these new arrivals didn't treat Ratchet and the gang as heroes either. Ultra Magnus, Jazz, and especially Sentinel Prime didn't trust Optimus's crew, and doubted their story on what had transpired on Earth. Ratchet and the others got their chance to shine in their superiors' presence when a Sumdac plant went haywire, necessitating the Autobots to intervene before a flood of berserk police drones spread into the city. Ratchet helped keep the drones occupied while Optimus, Prowl and Jazz stopped the plant's assembly line, ending the crisis. {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

Ratchet later helped stop a runaway train powered by an AllSpark fragment. When Starscream stopped by again, Bumblebee and Ratchet again combined their powers to attack him with an electromagnetic pulse, but the AllSpark-powered Decepticon shrugged it off like it was nothing. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

[[File:Wreck-garisgoodforonlyonething.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Wreck-Gar wouldn't get off his lawn.]]
While helping to dispose of garbage in the city, Ratchet's crotchety attitude became such a problem that Optimus asked Sari and Bumblebee to help him work on developing a more positive attitude. His experience in helping a [[Spike Witwicky (Animated)|young]] [[Carly Witwicky (Animated)|couple]] who were in the process of making a protoform did not help with his attitude, and things got even worse when some trash-toting nuisance named [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|Wreck-Gar]] came along, spouting that he was an Autobot. Telling the newly sentient [[Transformer]] that he was only good for garbage, Ratchet unwittingly inspired him to deliver garbage to the people of Detroit. Unfortunately, Wreck-Gar also had a sample of [[Sumdac Systems]]' new and improved nanobots, designed to disintegrate garbage. Fearing what the AllSpark-infused nanites might do, Ratchet apologized to Wreck-Gar, saying that the befuddled newcomer could be whatever he wanted, including a hero. Wreck-Gar did become a hero—after he vacuumed up the microbots, they exploded, causing Wreck-Gar to fall into the river. Ratchet assumed he was dead. When [[Porter C. Powell]] said that Ratchet had ruined his presentation, Ratchet forced him and [[Augustus Edsel|Mayor Edsel]] to make a compromise by threatening to have them join Wreck-Gar in the river. They came to an agreement, and Ratchet assumed that the bystanders were cheering for him, leaving him with the assumption that he ''did'' have people skills. {{storylink|Garbage In, Garbage Out}}

Ratchet helped search for an AllSpark fragment, only for the mission to be interrupted by a group of illegal street racers, the Street Demons, zooming by. When one of the racers caused two others to crash, Ratchet stopped to help [[Ming-Li]] out of her wrecked vehicle. Captain Fanzone then came by and arrested her. {{storylink|Velocity (episode)|Velocity}}

The Autobots' ongoing efforts to fix up Detroit continued. As they repaired an overpass, the group spotted Blitzwing and Lugnut trying to sneak off with some construction supplies. Ratchet attempted to stop them from taking off, though he only managed to trip them up, inadvertently causing more damage to the overpass. The Autobots were forced to stay late to repair it. Again. Later, Bulkhead brought two new 'bots back to Autobot headquarters: [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]]. Though they were insufferable to begin with, the Constructibots became an actual threat when they allied themselves with Megatron. They attempted to snatch away the Autobots' AllSpark fragments for their new boss, but the Autobots were ultimately able to drive off the Constructibots and retrieved the fragments. {{storylink|Rise of the Constructicons}}

When there were reports of rampages coming from Dinobot Island, Ratchet loaned Prowl his EMP Generator as a just-in-case measure. When Prowl discovered that a spike was wedged into [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]]'s foot, Ratchet instructed him on how to use the EMP to remove it. Later, when Prowl decided to go off on his own after Starscream, Ratchet, along with Prime, told him to turn his shuttle around, but Prowl faked some static and cut the transmission, though Ratchet thought his fake static was less-convincing than Bumblebee's. Later, the Autobots managed to find Prowl, equipped with new Samurai armor, tied up in the middle of the street, and freed him. Ratchet blamed himself for the whole mess, as he was the one who loaned Prowl the EMP. The Autobots next encountered Clone [[Clone number 2716057|#2716057]], who tries to propose an alliance with them, but Prowl easily rejects the alliance and attacks the clone. During the fight, Prowl accidentally destroys a bird's nest, which snaps him back to reality, and causes him to realize that he doesn't need the armor, but he won't get rid of it until he captures Clone [[Clone number 3370318|#3370318]]. Ratchet and the other Autobots followed Prowl to a warehouse, where they discovered that the Starscream clones were armed with bombs, and watched Prowl use his armor to launch the clones into the sky, right into the flight path of the fleeing Decepticons. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

After Bumblebee alerted the rest of his team that [[Swindle (Animated)|a Decepticon]] had built a machine that could slow to a halt any electronic machine within its range, including Autobots, Ratchet and the others sped out to take on the threat. They were all affected by the device's power before they could reach their destination, and were only able to take on Swindle once Sari had deactivated his weapon. {{storylink|SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy}}

Ratchet and the other Autobots gathered to listen in on an all-points bulletin from Ultra Magnus, alerting them that the criminal [[Wasp]] had escaped from prison. Later, Bumblebee told the rest of his team that he had stumbled upon a Decepticon transmission, and they reported his findings to the head of [[Cybertron Intelligence]], [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]]. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

Ratchet learned that Meltdown was broken out of prison through a news report. He stayed behind at the Autobots' headquarters while Optimus, Prowl and Bumblebee dealt with the escaped criminal. After Meltdown had been dealt with, Ratchet accompanied Optimus and the others to explain what had transpired to Captain Fanzone. {{storylink|Black Friday (episode)|Black Friday}}

[[File:'sHome Autobots Huddle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Ratchet was watching television with Bumblebee when Optimus informed them that Scrapper and Mixmaster had resurfaced. The Autobots looked high and low throughout Detroit for the Constructibots, but without Sari's key to track their AllSpark signatures, the search proved fruitless. Then, Blitzwing dropped out of the sky and took on the whole crew. During the fight, the Autobots learned that Sari was dealing with the Constructibots on her own back at headquarters. But having to deal with Blitzwing, they couldn't head back... until Blitzwing suddenly decided to ditch the battle. The Autobots then headed back to help Sari immediately. Returning to base, they found out that Sari had taken care of the intruders all by herself. {{storylink|Sari, No One's Home}}

When Bulkhead was kidnapped by Megatron, Bumblebee brought Autobot intelligence agent [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] to the plant, who revealed that Megatron was building a space bridge to conquer Cybertron from within. Realizing they'd need more firepower, Prime ordered Ratchet and Sari to get the ship operational. Unfortunately, their efforts failed to get it back online. Running out of time, Ratchet decided that they'd need to perform open [[spark]] surgery. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

After placing the remaining AllSpark fragments in the ship's spark core, Ratchet explained that the ship was once a living Autobot who sacrificed himself to help win the wars. Ratchet's gamble succeeded, and the ship was brought back to life. Getting it to the Decepticons' base, Ratchet and Sari provided enough power (and encouragement) to allow the ship to transform into [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. Omega defeated the Decepticons, but sacrificed himself to save the Autobots by being sucked into a blind space bridge portal. Once the Autobots escaped, Ratchet was left to mourn Omega Supreme a second time, but Bulkhead was optimistic that he was still alive, somewhere out in space.

Unfortunately, any effort to locate Omega Supreme was put on hold when Sari noticed that the skin of her right arm had been torn...revealing robotic circuitry underneath! {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

[[File:TFAni TransWarped Ratchet Repairs Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Well, if the patient really wants to live, the surgeon never can do anything about it!]]
Because Sari was reluctant to submit to a full diagnostic, Ratchet was only allowed to perform the most basic scans on her. He was able to determine that Sari was part basically organic, but with Cybertronian circuitry. Following a period of no contact with Bulkhead and Bumblebee, who had traveled to the mine to salvage space bridge equipment to contact Cybertron, Ratchet went to check up and help them out. What he found was a damaged Bulkhead and no sign of Bumblebee. Bringing Bulkhead back to the plant, he then attempted to repair Bulkhead, only to have Sari's Key overshadow his medical expertise, leaving him feeling unappreciated. Soon afterward, a giant [[Rock Lord]] was transported to Detroit after Bulkhead tried to bring back a transwarping Bumblebee. Ratchet equipped his EMP generator, which he hadn't used since he won it back from Lockdown, to help his team take down the creature and rescue Bumblebee, only to witness a newly upgraded Sari defeat the monster and save her friend instead. However, the Key's power overwhelmed Sari and caused her robotic systems to go berserk, blowing up everything she touched and even accidentally attacking Bumblebee. Ratchet initially requested Sari's Key to help him save Bumblebee, but discovered it no longer had any power after Prowl retrieved it. Despite the setback, he managed to save Bumblebee from going offline without the Key's aid. When the others failed their attempts to stop Sari from exploding and save Detroit, Ratchet used his EMP generator to subdue her, even though he was unsure what the effects would have on a technorganic.

Afterward, he operated on Sari to subdue the extra AllSpark energy she had stored in her body. When Omega Supreme reappeared on Earth, Ratchet was shocked to discover that his old friend had been taken over by Starscream and Megatron. Forced to take action, Ratchet upgraded Bumblebee's stingers to a more powerful battle-grade mode, even though such a modification was illegal for non-combat bots. When Optimus ordered Ratchet to reverse Sari's operation in order to use her AllSpark energy against Omega Supreme, Ratchet refused and instead aided his teammates directly in the heat of battle. He tried reasoning with Omega to help the titan gain control of his body, but was afraid that he might have to use his EMP on his old friend. Omega was able to fight off Starscream's control long enough to insist that Ratchet use the EMP to let him sleep again, echoing Ratchet's own advice from the last time the medic had put him in stasis. However, despite Ratchet's new resolve, Starscream's Allspark-fragment-powered consciousness rendered him immune to the blast. Once Bumblebee and Optimus planted a [[plasma dynamic thruster]] to make Omega transwarp around space randomly, Ratchet saved the pair from falling to their deaths.
{{storylink|TransWarped}}

While Bulkhead and Professor Sumdac began constructing a space bridge, Ratchet and the other Autobots focused on hunting down the remaining Decepticons on Earth. The first one they found was Lugnut, who was defeated and [[stasis cuffs|stasis cuffed]] after a drawn-out battle. Unfortunately, this left the Autobot force trying to pull the massive Decepticon out of the deep crater he had caused during the fight—a daunting task that they spent the rest of the night working on. Before any real progress could be made, Ratchet and the others were called away to help Bulkhead, who had been dragged into an oil-stealing scheme by the Constructicons. Upon arriving at the [[Fossil Fuel]] oil refinery, the Autobots found themselves needing to exercise caution, so as to not light the oil around them aflame A collision between Scrapper and Mixmaster led to a spark setting fire to a large pool of oil anyways, and the Autobots were forced to transwarp an entire oil tank (with the Constructicons on it) out to Lake Erie, where it exploded. They then returned to finish hauling away Lugnut, only to find he had escaped in their absence. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd (episode)|Three's a Crowd}}

Later, when Wasp arrived on Earth, and attacked Bumblebee in the plant, Ratchet witnessed Bumblebee wake up from the attack colored like Wasp. Bumnblebee tried and failed to convince the Autobots that it was him, and when he failed, Ratchet prepared to arrest him. Bumblebee escaped as the Elite Guard arrived, and made it very clear that they were going to arrest Wasp. Optimus assigned Ratchet to go with him, and while looking for Wasp, they encountered [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]], who were also going after the renegade Autobot. Assuming them to be Decepticons, Prime and Ratchet tracked the pair to a dark alley and attacked them. Their fight was interrupted by [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], who revealed that Jetfire and Jetstorm were flying Autobots. Ratchet then proceeded to follow Sentinel, [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]], and Prime around the city, and responded to Jetstorm's call claiming that Bulkhead and Prowl are Wasp's "fellow-double-agents". Ratchet then witnessed the video-game face-off between Bumblebee and Wasp to determine who was who, and also witnessed Wasp threaten the real Bumblebee's life. When Wasp escaped, Ratchet was one of the many Autobots to run outside, where they found Bumblebee back in his original colors, and witnessed Sentinel finally accept [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] was the REAL Decepticon traitor. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

Ratchet turned out with the other Autobots to see off Sentinel and his team as they left Earth for Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Animated)|Predacons Rising}}

[[File:TFA Human Error Part 1 Automen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
On Christmas Eve, Ratchet was seriously doubting that Santa could deliver billions of presents in just one night, but Sari told him not to worry about it. Later, after drinking oil nog that Sari had made (which was altered by one of [[Sound Wave|Soundwave's toys]]), Ratchet, along with the rest of the Autobots, suddenly felt very tired, and Ratchet was the first one to head off for a stasis-nap. What was even more mysterious was that, the next morning, the Autobots discover that they had been transformed into humans, and there was no rational explanation as to why. When Prime suggested that their minds had been implanted into the human bodies, Ratchet questioned where their Cybertronian bodies were. The Autobots then headed off to Sumdac Tower, and while they decided to stop at Burger-Bot for a bite to eat, they hear a noise outside, which turned out to be a Decepticon attack. Ratchet helped Optimus Prime get a woman out of a burning building, but was useless in trying to ward off Starscream, and when Optimus Prime's leg was broken, Ratchet was forced to help get him to a paramedic. The Autobots eventually got to Sumdac Tower (via City Bus), only to look up and see none other than...CYBERTRON! Not only that, but after the planet settled, Decepticons began to swarm down from it. Prime and Prowl figured out that none of it was happening, and that everything was fake, including the Decepticons. This established, the Autobots discovered that they could slag the Decepticons surprisingly easily. After they defeated the Decepticons, the Autobots managed to transform back into their Cybertronian forms, but just after that, they were attacked by a giant [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

After managing to escape the giant Soundwave, the Autobots were transformed back into humans, much to Ratchet's annoyance. When Bulkhead tried to escape the virtual reality by trashing the virtual city, Ratchet told him it didn't work that way, and that they needed to find Soundwave's interface, which just conveniently turned up at that point. The Autobots decided to follow the vehicle driving nearby vehicles which happened to match their respective vehicle modes only to find that driving wasn't as easy as it looked. Ratchet though disagreed, though he was actually driving backwards (Nice one, Ratchet!). The Autobots eventually cornered the vehicle in a drive-in movie-theater parking-lot, but soon discovered that they had been lured into a trap, and were successfully reprogrammed by Soundwave. Ratchet's body later went up against Snarl, who defeated him by wrapping him up, immobilizing him. Afterward, Ratchet joined the Autobots in standing around and watching the Disposal Droids (and Wreck-Gar) clean up the city. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

Later, as Ratchet attempted to calibrate Bulkhead's space bridge to locate Omega Supreme, the bridge powered up and sucked in a visiting [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]]. Seeing a potential problem in this turn of events, Ratchet followed him into the bridge and found himself back on Cybertron. At first overjoyed to be back home, Ratchet's mood soon soured when he discovered that his favorite watering hole, [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], had been shut down, a victim of the paranoid reign of [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], who had been placed in charge of the planet following the near-fatal attack on Ultra Magnus by the Decepticon deep-cover agent, [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]]. Just as Sentinel was in the middle of reprimanding Ratchet for bringing Fanzone to the planet, however, Omega Supreme made a sudden appearance in the skies overhead, his body now under the control of Megatron once more. Ratchet's refusal to support Sentinel's plan simply to blast Omega out of the sky left him branded a traitor, and he and Fanzone fled into Cybertron's underground tunnels, where they stumbled upon Shockwave's hideout. In the course of the brief battle that ensued, Ratchet discovered that Shockwave was in search of Arcee, intending to use the activation codes for Omega Supreme stored in her processor to wipe clean his mind and put all of his systems in Megatron's hands. With a little help from [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]], Ratchet and Fanzone were able to get to Arcee first, but alas, in the process, they unwittingly wound up leading Shockwave right to her. The pair battled again, and although Ratchet was able to recover Ultra Magnus's stolen [[Magnus Hammer]] from the Decepticon, he failed to prevent Shockwave from escaping with Arcee in his clutches. Despite Sentinel Prime's protestations, Ratchet brought the Magnus Hammer with him back to Earth. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}.

[[File:TFA-Endgame-PanAcrossEveryone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|left]]
Upon the discovery that Megatron had control of Omega Supreme, Ratchet began to stress the fact that they needed to rescue him and Arcee from the Decepticons, and that they needed to use the Magnus Hammer to aid them in doing so. He was shocked when Prime asked him to build him a jetpack, stating that Autobots didn't fly. Though hesitant, Ratchet, along with Sari and Prof. Sumdac, proceeded to build Prime a jetpack that he could use to go up against Megatron. After the failure of the initial test of the jetpack, Ratchet added stabilizer wings to it, which gave Prime control when flying. Unfortunately, the flying Optimus Prime attracted the attention of [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]], who proceeded to shoot Prime out of the sky. Ratchet then simply repaired Prime, and just in time, as just then, the [[Lugnut Supreme]]s arrived on Earth {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

Ratchet was sent to the moon with Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Sari to take back Omega Supreme to stop the Lugnut Supreme drones. With advice from Sari, he was able to reactivate Arcee and in turn able to take control of Omega Supreme. After Starscream's plan came into action, he took Omega Supreme in to try and stop the "Starscream Supremes" from self-destructing, successfully taking down one but unable to take down the other. He was present with Optimus Prime on their return to Cybertron with the Decepticon prisoners, holding Prowl's casket with Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Jazz. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

====''Prime Suspect''====
After [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]] saved a [[You|young human]] from being run down, Ratchet was stuck with checking the youngster over for injuries. When evidence was discovered at the scene of the crime Prime was accused of, he paid the Autobot ship a visit to conduct a scan, leading the Autobots to [[HomeTech]]'s main warehouse. Ratchet joined them there and helped them break in. He stayed out of the battle until the end, trapping [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] in a magnetic field and unraveling the Decepticon's plan. {{storylink|Prime Suspect (Animated)|Prime Suspect}}
====''Quest for the AllSpark''====
When [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] took control of [[Detroit]]'s robot workforce in an attempt to find the [[AllSpark]], Ratchet and Prime came up with a daring plan to create false AllSparks and hide them in various locations. Ratchet took his to [[Paris]] to hide, and was attacked as soon as he set foot in [[France]]. After winning that fight, he returned to the Autobot base and beefed up the defences to prevent Megatron from ever gaining access to it, and ended up battling [[Crush-A]] with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Quest for the AllSpark}}
====''Web of Deception''====
Ratchet and Optimus were in the Autobot ship at the bottom of [[Lake Erie]] when it was struck by a number of [[Sparkseeker]] missiles and Prime was abducted. Once he recovered, Ratchet was able to detect [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]]'s ship parked near [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]]. While the other younger bots went to rescue Prime, Ratchet stayed on board the ship and eventually detected the holotransmitter that [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] was using. He was able to track it back to its source and rescue Prime. {{storylink|Web of Deception}}
====''Time-Quake''====
When strange time effects began taking place across Detroit, Ratchet made special detectors to trace the source of the temporal energy. After Bulkhead and a human discovered the time machine that was causing the odd effects, Ratchet assisted in taking down the perpetrator. {{storylink|Time-Quake}}

Ratchet oversaw a mission to Dinobot Island with Sari, Bumblebee, and [[Afterburn]], to investigate a Rage virus infection in the Dinobots. Soon after landing, the group were jumped by [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] and Ratchet was soon pinned; luckily, Sari reminded him of the magnetic powers he uses all the time, and he was able to get Snarl off.

The Dinobot had stolen his spare oil thermos in the process though and, wanting to see if Afterburn was really up to joining them, lied to his friends and told them a vital component had been ripped out and ''he was dying''. They risked their lives getting the thermos back on top of curing the Dinobots, and after hearing why they'd been made to do it, Afterburn shook Ratchet's hand for being an emotionally manipulative bastard. {{storylink|Animated Comic issue 2|Ratchet & Grimlock Are DEAD?}}

Witnessing the mysterious Allspark being uncovered, Ratchet along with the rest of Optimus Prime's crew fled through a space bridge gate in order to keep the artifact out of Decepticon clutches. Unfortunately, Megatron was able to board their ship and left Ratchet defeated on the floor, leaving Optimus to deal with the Decepticon leader by himself. {{storylink|The Cool Extra issue 3|The Cool Extra #3}}

Ratchet was among the Autobots who traveled to the [[Earth]] city of [[Detroit]] in order to protect the [[AllSpark#Animated|AllSpark]] from the Decepticons. When [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], and [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] attacked, Ratchet joined in the fray, pitting his magnet pincers against Lockdown with the aid of [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s stingers. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 1}}

The Autobots were unable to prevent Starscream from seizing the AllSpark, however, and Ratchet was helpless to defend himself from Starscream's AllSpark-powered aerial attacks. When [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] died stopping Starscream, and was subsequently revived by the power of [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]]'s [[AllSpark Key|key]], Ratchet was the first to greet him (and tell him he was dead for a minute). {{storylink|The Cool Episode 2}}

Ratchet later took part in defending [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] from a Decepticon raid. Ratchet expressed displeasure at [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]]'s aerial bombardments, not thinking the Autobots could hold out much longer. Once the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobot]]s saved the day, however, he saw them off along with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 3}}

Ratchet was present at [[Sumdac Systems]] headquarters when Megatron was reborn. Megatron blasted Ratchet away with his [[fusion cannon]] easily, though Ratchet survived the fight. He later joined in greeting the [[Elite Guard]] to Earth. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 5}}

[[File:TheCoolSariRatchetIssue08.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]

Ratchet later joined the Autobots in a battle against [[Clone number 2716057|Clone #2716057]]. Though Prowl defeated the clone, Ratchet berated his comrade for destroying an entire park in the process. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 6}}

Along with [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]], Ratchet piloted the ''[[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Orion]]'' toward the battle for the Decepticon [[Space bridge#Animated cartoon|Space Bridge]]. Intensely, Ratchet urged his comrades to hold out long enough for him to arrive. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 7}}

They arrived in time and Ratchet immediately activated Code Omega and transformed the ''Orion'' into his old friend, [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. Omega vanquished the army of [[Starscream clone (Animated)|Starscream clones]] then chose to sacrifice himself to stop the overloaded Space Bridge. Ratchet pleaded with his old friend not to do it, as they'd only just been reunited. Omega thanked Ratchet for everything and then vanished in the vortex. After the battle, Ratchet solemnly bid his departed friend farewell. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 8}}

When Ratchet returned to Cybertron to oversee Ultra Magnus's recovery, the Autobot leader believing himself on his deathbed, requested that Ratchet let Optimus know that unto him the Magnus Hammer would be passed on. Ratchet was to deliver the hammer to him and let Optimus know that he was to rejoin the Elite Guard, having been dismissed from it cruelly. Ratchet nonetheless insisted that Ultra Magnus should tell this to Optimus himself, but the moment was interrupted by another assassination attempt from Shockwave! The Decepticon spy was nonetheless defeated through a combination of Ratchet using his magnetic powers to pummel him with the Magnus Hammer, and Ultra Magnus activating the hammer's electrical powers at a key moment, frying Shcokwave dead. Upon his return to Earth, Ratchet informed Optimus that it was now the time to put the hammer in Optimus's possession to good use against their Decepticon enemies. {{storylink|The Cool Extra issue 1|The Cool Extra #1}}

When Starscream attacked Detroit in Omega Supreme's body, Ratchet expressed shock at the sight of seeing his friend alive. Prowl was quick to point out to him that Omega was merely a puppet of Starscream's. {{storylink|The Cool Episode 9}}

Upon Megatron's defeat, Ratchet accompanied the rest of the Autobots back to planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they were all hailed as heroes by the citizenry and even [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel]]. {{storylink|The Cool Episode Final}}

Ratchet took up the task of giving hints to Optimus, Bumblebee and Bulkhead as they tried out an obstacle course. He picked up a Decepticon signal, which turned out to be a [[Decepticon Transmitter Drone]]. After [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] retrieved the drone, Ratchet was able to use it to intercept some Decepticon transmissions indicating that [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] was planning to make a move on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He attempted to contact [[Cybertron Command]] to warn them, only to find the communication network was down. Ratchet rigged the transmitter drone to return to base, so the Autobots could track it back to the hidden Decepticon lair, but it escaped before they could do so. Once Optimus located the base, Ratchet sent the Teletran-1 probe to act as a temporary repair drone. After Optimus's team returned triumphant from Cybertron, Ratchet wondered if Optimus's processor needed looking at, as their leader had turned down a position in the [[Elite Guard]]. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Game}}

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: First shipping in the second wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Ratchet transforms into a stylized ambulance. In robot mode, his "magnets" are simulated by spring-loaded pieces in the underside of his forearms that flip up through his open hands. He also features a veritable arsenal of fix-it tools that attach to the undeployed magnets to simulate him holding them, so you too can experience the glee of having the old coot savagely beat someone with a servo-wrench. These tools can be stored in his backpack in robot mode, but cannot be stored in his vehicle mode. Ratchet features an [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] on the head, which pops out when the car roof is flipped back while transforming into robot mode.

:[[File:Takara animatedratchet.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|Pimp My Ride: Detroit EMS Edition ''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]

: The "war wound" on his left forearm is actually a socket into which one may peg the EMP generator included with the Deluxe [[Lockdown (Animated)#Toys|Lockdown]] toy. Early releases of the Ratchet toy had the peg slightly too long, forcing the EMP to pop out of the socket. Later releases (basically most everything beyond the original "test market" release) had a shorter peg, allowing the EMP to clip in just fine.

: At least on some samples of the toy, his vehicle mode does not hold together very well at all. His legs are also prone to popping off at the thigh swivel, though, fortunately, since they're simple mushroom pegs, they pop right back on.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Ratchet, in the first wave of their [[Transformers Animated (toyline)#TakaraTomy Animated toyline|''Animated'' toyline]], features a far, ''far'' shinier paint job. Ratchet's hood, roof, and legs are painted in a metallic red, and the non-metallic red paint apps are considerably glossier than the Hasbro toy. The toy is also cast in a lighter, off-white plastic instead of the Hasbro version's sorta-tannish-gray white, and also possesses a full-color Autobot symbol with white outline.

: This version of Ratchet is a [[redeco]] of his Deluxe toy, now in primarily emergency-colors yellow; the photo of the toy on the back of the packaging shows a fairly obvious [[homage]] to the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|live-action movie]] incarnation of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], with bright green instead of yellow and movie-inspired zig-zagged stripes, but the toy-as-released is in yellow, using the same tampographs as the original ''Animated'' deluxe. He retains all of his original toy's [[gimmick]]ry, and features metallic paint on his front bumper. The hinged clip portion of his tools is cast in the same color plastic as he is, to prevent accessory cross-contamination with the original deluxe toy. His "magnets" are ''also'' cast in the same yellow plastic, making him look like an aye-aye when deployed.

: "Cybertron Mode Ratchet" is based on his pre-Earth form seen in many flashbacks, transforming into a quad-treaded van-like thing. He comes with two "shock paddles" which peg over his fists, and his right fist punches forward when a tab on his elbow is pushed. The "shock paddles" plug into the rear of his vehicle mode. The toy also has a socket on his left forearm to accommodate Deluxe [[Lockdown (Animated)#Toys|Lockdown]]'s EMP weapon, just like the previous Deluxe mold. However, how well that accessory actually ''fits'' in the socket seems to vary wildly from sample to sample.

: In the Hasbro line, he was originally planned to be released in the regualr retail line, but ended up as part of the first wave of [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive Deluxes, alongside [[Arcee (Animated)#Toys|Arcee]].

: In TakaraTomy's vesion of the line, version of "Cybertron Mode" Ratchet was released as a normal mass-retail item in the eighth wave of ''Animated'' products. It has a shiny metallic crimson paint job on his chest, hood and boots, and a full-color symbol to match the original Takara version of Ratchet. His red plastics are also a brighter shade. Included in the package in addition to the usual trading card and instruction booklet, is an "Autobot Database" pamphlet, which contains information about the character squeezed into the spaces between advertisements for other toys.

However, in this instance, when the front bumper of the ambulance mode is pushed in, the spring-loaded roof/sides of the vehicle flip up to reveal a relief of Ratchet's robot mode (complete with magnet-clamps), as well as activating electronic sound effects.

[[File:AllSparkAlmanacII-SeasonFour-Ratchet.jpg|right|250px|thumb|frame|left|With a hint of lime.]]
* The Autobot medical officer was originally conceived as a female robot named [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]].<ref>http://tformers.com/transformers-interview-transformers-animated/8992/news.html</ref> Even after it was decided to make the character male later in development, he retained the name "Red Alert" until executive producer [[Sam Register]] was able to convince Hasbro that "Ratchet" was a more identifiable name for the character. Because of this, Ratchet's final design carries influences from various [[Red Alert (disambiguation)|Red Alert]] incarnations. In particular, [[Derrick J. Wyatt|Derrick Wyatt]] was inspired by the box art for [[Red Alert (G1)|G1 Red Alert]]'s ''[[:File:BTAAlert toy.jpg|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' incarnation.<ref>http://community.livejournal.com/tf_animated/271043.html#cutid1</ref>
* The "war wound" on his left arm (seen in his main picture, above) was briefly gone after "The Thrill of the Hunt", apparently representing the replacement of his arm-mounted EMP generator. However, it has since returned in several instances. The "real world" reason is probably the animators sticking to the original animation model. Within story context, he apparently didn't carry the EMP generator around as standard until "[[TransWarped]]", when Prowl (who borrowed it [[A Fistful of Energon|once before]]) notes that he hadn't "taken it into battle since [he] got it back from Lockdown". It later emerges ''from'' the wound in "[[Endgame, Part II]]".
* There is a potential contradiction between "[[The Thrill of the Hunt]]" and "[[The Arrival issue 3#"'Bots of Science"|'Bots of Science]]", as both stories depict Ratchet's right-hand chevron being broken off - by Lockdown's haymaker in the former and Oil Slick's roundhouse in the latter. This could be a continuity error, or it could be the case that Ratchet had his chevron broken on one occasion, repaired it, and then after it was broken a ''second'' time he allowed it to remain broken. It would certainly appear that the comic story took place before the Lockdown encounter since Ratchet still has his EMP generator in ''Bots of Science''.
**Curiously though, Ratchet's chevron is shown to already have some kind of crack or weld-line running across it prior to Oil Slick's kick, which could indicate that it was already on the verge of breaking.
* The toys of ''Animated'' Ratchet, [[Ratchet (G1)|Generation 1 Ratchet]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Movie Ratchet]] are caught in a web of cross-referencing [[redeco]]s:
** In 2008, the original Generation 1 Ratchet mold got a green redeco as "Ratchet Emergency Green" in obvious reference to his yellowy-green [[Ratchet (Movie)|movie cousin]].
** Around the same time, two of "Movie series" Ratchet's toys got a red and white ambulance redeco as "Rescue Ratchet" to ape [[Ratchet (G1)|Generation 1 Ratchet]].
** ''Animated'' Ratchet, his original design already referencing both predecessors with Generation 1 Ratchet's chevron and coloring and movie Ratchet's squiggly EEG symbol, had a further homage to the latter with a yellow redeco as (another) "Rescue Ratchet". You'd think they'd all be too busy patching up wounded 'bots to get so much personal detailing done.
* He can pinch with his magnet-clamps.
* He has microscope lenses that can be activated in either eye.
* His windshield chest can act as an image projector in robot mode, as seen in "This Is Why I Hate Machines".
* Ratchet wears the [[256-OZU-004]] [[body-type]].
* In the Japanese dub, Ratchet speaks with a {{w|Kagoshima dialect}}. That particular dialect has been gradually phased out over the decades due to standardized education and is generally only spoken by older people in the region. As such, in popular Japanese media, the Kagoshima dialect is easy shorthand for "old person".
*In the Transformers Animated profile shorts, Ratchet is introduced to the audience by Bumblebee in "[[Meet Ratchet]]" and likewise introduces Optimus in "[[Meet Optimus Prime]]".
*Had season 4 been produced, Ratchet's white would have been recolored hazard/lime green and (most) of his red in black, to more closely resemble his [[Ratchet (Movie)|live-action counterpart]].

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

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

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

[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Notes|Even ''Hasbro'' admits that the amount of toys 'Bee has is ridiculous.]]

**''TakaraTomy name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well and has very limited articulation, detail and paint applications. Due to his simplified transformation, his hands are exposed on the vehicle bumper, and due to how the arms are molded, the headlights make the robot mode appear to be wielding a pair of guns. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows; the racing stripes just extend over it.

:The toy was also released in two different ways in Japan: the Hasbro version was initially released as a giveaway for the customers who purchased the Movie toys worth 3000 yen in the Transformers First Impact 0602 event held in Ikebukuro Toys"R"Us store at midnight [[June 2]]nd, with the package completely unchanged with the exception of the sticker covering the back to identify that this was a giveaway. The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

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

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[June 2]], 2007
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class figures, the first Deluxe Class version of Bumblebee transforms into a yellow {{w|Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro}} with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

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

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

:One of the more unfortunate results of the car hood's automorph feature, leaves the front of the car form not staying together properly over time. While it may not happen to every release of the figure, it's definitely something to keep an eye out for.

:Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic with metallic blue paint. The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick. The original Hasbro mold (complete with opaque windows) also saw release in Japan 10 years later, as part of an Amazon Japan exclusive 3-pack (see below).

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

:The toy appears to be partially based on an early character study of Bumblebee by [[Don Figueroa]], particularly his feet.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=A VERY early character study of BB for the first #Transformers movie.|link=https://twitter.com/SketchyFig/status/1524542496847458304|name=Don Figueroa|site:Twitter|year=2022|month=May|day=12}}</ref>

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers

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

:The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers

:A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee sculpt, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release, but it is unclear if this release used the uneven Automorph gimmick from the second run. Unlike most of his Classic Camaro mold mates, this Bumblebee is practically spotless.

*'''Towed to Safety''' (Deluxe two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers

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

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

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

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy name'': '''New Bumblebee'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 9]], 2007
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released in the fourth wave of Deluxes, the second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy shares no parts with the previous version and transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

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

:Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands. Depending on how tight the shoulder ball joints are, posing his arms can be troublesome as they're jointed with the front wheel/car doors/wings. If the converting Plasma Cannon is removed from his vehicle form, the spring-loaded windows may become slightly dislodged unless you press both sides of the vehicle rear to counter this.

:Depending on the individual quality control, his pair of yellow shoulder panels tend to pop off occasionally. Care should be taken while transforming the front clear window piece: At least one of the protruding panels can snap off if not done carefully.

:Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design. His robot mode stock photo is mistransformed; the chest hood blocks can be flipped up for better accuracy. This mistransformation is common to all of his redecoes/retools below.

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

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

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers, Plasma cannon

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

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

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

Unfortunately, his racing stripes aren't added with black border pinstripes.

Despite being in the same scale, this figurine utilizes none of the parts of the ''Robot Replicas'' toy. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

:A redeco of Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with the usual Camaro striping now replaced with black colored paint details on upper section of the rear windows, the car roof & front hood, and both halves of each legs are now entirely painted black (due to the half of the leg pieces being swapped with the same grey used for his shoulders). Other deco differences include the crotch being painted silver, and the details on the majority of the body are now replaced with a greener shade of grey, and the turquoise unpaintable joints in now molded in lighter teal. In addition, the left forearm & his head (due to being molded in the same light brown-ish grey) is also painted yellow. Rally Rocket Bumblebee also features a tampograph decal based on his alliterative nickname "BB", with the first "B" letter reversed.

: As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood in his stock photos is misrepresented as a solid brick.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand, set of Camaro mode armor, set of protoform armor, open-palmed hands
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic orange plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like "entry mode". This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet.

:Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a licensed Camaro concept. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his car mode's transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess''.

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

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

The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

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

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

:There are a few problems on the toy's vehicle mode: Probably due to tolerances, there are difficulties for perfectly aligning the wings/side windows with the legs/rear windows during transformation, though several samples does not seem to have this issue. In terms of deco, Bumblebee's face paint quality varies from figure-to-figure: Due to how the eyes are painted to emulate the mechanical optics; the central blue "eyeball" (especially the left one) is ''slightly'' lopsided. The forehead is often messily painted.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 26th of June (2 days are the movie's premiere), via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

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

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, featuring a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt... that just so happens to have some very creepy painted eyes but still, it's accurate nonetheless. Also, the paint on the door knobs, the gas lid, and the sculpted "Camaro" is omitted.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile. If one wishes to use the normal right arm, one must pop off the plasma cannon arm and replace it with the normal forearm from the Screen Battles figure (the only one with the accurate gray color), though the window must be replaced with the same translucent blue piece by unscrewing it.

:The instructions still depict him having the head from the 2007 Concept Camaro mold. Both the prototype and stock photos do not have his waist armor rotated into position in robot mode, while the later stock photo does not show the chest pieces being folded up. Due to the omission of the converting Plasma Cannon that holds the rear windows in position, the pieces may not align properly if the lower thighs/vehicle rear is not transformed properly during the robot-to-vehicle conversion.

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

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

The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

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

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because, with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children.

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

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' Bumblebee features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept versions of the character, with the [[transformation scheme]] taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

: His right forearm can transform into his signature plasma cannon, though due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar in function to Human Alliance Bumblebee.

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

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

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

: Battle Ops Bumblebee is a larger-than-contemporary-Leader-Class figure, and features both "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. His head has a flip-down battle mask, and his right arm converts into a plasma cannon automatically when his arm is raised. The cannon arm has limited articulation due to the gimmick, but features a small translucent-blue hand which telescopes out of the cannon when not in use. He also is armed with two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers which can be deployed in either mode; though not mentioned in the instructions, the missile launchers can be collapsed on the back in robot mode. Also, you have to remove the plastic ring attached on the right cannon hand before you use the toy.

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

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]].

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

: Canada received both English and French versions of this release - bizarrely, the French release is available in places outside Quebec such as Vancouver and even Alberta.

:After 7 years, the second ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is its own dedicated mold rather than a repaint and is also based upon his body from the first live-action film. Does it convert? Does it ever!

:As usual, he transforms from a roughly Voyager-sized robot that scales with the Generation 1 ''Masterpiece'' Autobot Cars. He, however, does NOT turn into a Concept Camaro seen in the first live-action movie, but rather the production model 2010 Camaro SS. His yellow is also inaccurate: The MPM is casted in Rally Yellow, and not the PBC-30 Sunrise that is used in the film. The latter inaccuracy is possibly due to licensing restrictions, as PBC-30 is not a factory option. His right hand can be replaced with a Stinger Blaster, which can be stored in the vehicle mode. He also features die-cast parts on his bottom legs & his feet.

:Some units feature misassembled waist tabs. Although stock photos shows his tire rims being painted silver, the actual product has tire rims painted in Chevy’s Midnight Silver, which was used as an optional paint for the 2010's Camaros.

:The Japanese release omits the paint applications on the eyes to allow for light piping, and it features a less dark shading on the blaster weapon. As with most TakaraTomy toys, It also uses black screws over unpainted screws.

:In the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Bumblebee was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], as was TakaraTomy's Japanese release. He was also initially released in the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located at Singapore, limited to 300 pieces. In Spain, meanwhile, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases.

Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colors, while the other Bumblebee is a paint-heavy redeco of Bolt Bumblebee (see below), partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:Care must be taken while rolling Cybertronian Bumblebee's vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:The Bumblebees come packed with a [[retool]] of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of ''Legends of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

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

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

*'''Bumblebee / Soundwave''' with '''Rodimus''' (Cyberverse 3-pack, 2011)
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Available exclusively at [[Walmart]] in a three pack with [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Cyberverse|Soundwave]] and [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus]], this gold and silver Cyberverse Bumblebee is a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee, and lacks the newly tooled hand of the Target-exclusive Cyberverse Bumblebee and 011 Bumblebee (see below).

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

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

**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 011'''
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

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

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

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

:Exclusive to [[Target]], this Cyberverse Bumblebee is a redeco of Bolt Bumblebee. His right new hand enables him to hold his accompanying blaster (which originates from [[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]] [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]]/[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]). Bumblebee comes packed with a [[Motormaster (G1)|Generation 1 Motormaster]]-inspired redeco of Cyberverse Commander [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TargetCyberverseVs|Megatron]].

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] on the back of the [[packaging]] shows him as mirrored, and thus depicts him with a retooled ''left'' hand, as well as flipped connecting pegs on his legs.

:Bundled exclusively with the September 2011 edition of ''TV-Kun'' magazine, the redundantly-named "Bumblebee Cyberverse Version" is a translucent yellow and opaque black redeco of Bolt Bumblebee. Possessing minimal paint operations, the toy instead includes a sticker-sheet for the stripes, window tinting, and Autobot symbol (not applied in this photo).

**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 015'''
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

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

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

:While this toy is listed as Stealth Bumblebee on the Hasbro website and named as such on the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]], the "Stealth" prefix did not appear on the American packaging for some time. A [[variant|running change]] remedied this, adding the prefix to the American packaging in later runs.

*'''Cybertronian Warriors Pack''' (Cyberverse multi-pack, 2011)

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

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

: He was packaged in a Toys"R"Us-exclusive multi-pack with redecoed versions of [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Ironhide]], [[Crankcase (DOTM)#CybertronianWarriors|Crankcase]] (in a deco based on the aforementioned police SUV), and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Barricade]]. With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the Bunker was intended to go with the included Ironhide more so than the included Bumblebee.

: He comes in a Walmart-exclusive 5-pack with redecos of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Ultimategift|Optimus Prime]], [[Powerglide (DOTM)#Ultimategift|Powerglide]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)#Ultimategift|Sideswipe]], and [[Crowbar#Ultimategift|Crowbar]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]
{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee transforms into a customized 2011 Camaro Concept. Bumblebee comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon which is a "Blaster" weapon, which opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon" when its lever is pulled, but it springs back into its original position once the lever is released. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5 mm post|5 mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5 mm peg hole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5 mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms. His pair of hands features poseable fingers (albeit 4+1), and it can be formed into a 5 mm compatible hand if adjusted properly.

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

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

:Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, molded in slightly different colors compared to his original widespread release, and also has some gold paint on his knees that the original did not have. This mold was also used to make ''Movie The Best'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Movie The Best|Laserbeak]].

Obviously, he comes with his own MechTech Wars character card and transparent MechTech weapon card.

:Available in the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Nitro Bumblebee features booster engines, armor plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto his vehicle mode. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

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

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

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

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

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

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

:He comes packaged with a redeco of Human Alliance [[Sam Witwicky#Daredevil|Sam Witwicky]], a redeco of [[Backfire (TF 2010)#Daredevil|Backfire]], and an Autobot Alliance patch.

:Released as part of [[Target]]'s exclusive range of Deluxe class redecoes, this version of Cannon Bumblebee has had all of his yellow plastic cast in a translucent yellow, and is covered in opaque yellow [[Cyberglyphics]].

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Arcee (Movie)#Cyberglyph|Arcee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), he comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee]]''.

: He was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Leader Class figures, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

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

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

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

: His secondary stock photos are slightly mistransformed: his shoulder collars are not folded out. Ironically; this mistranformation ''also allows'' the head to move slightly freely.

{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)}}

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

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

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

:Available exclusively at the gift shop for "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" at [[Universal|Universal Studios]] theme parks, this set features a Bumblebee Kreon based on the first three live-action movies, aka "the version of Bumblebee that there's a giant costumed performer of at the park that guests can get their pictures taken with". After several years of only being available at the park proper, the 4-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015(?), a new production run of the set was made using the revamped 2015-style Kreon bodies, among a few other small changes, including sharper tampographs with thinner linework. This set would later see slight production changes; the only notable change to Bee is that his tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, something that happened to all of the figures in the set.

: In 2020, the set was revamped ''again'', removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. The other figures in the set are unchanged from their thicker-tampograph 2015-body versions.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Legends Class Bumblebee]], cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes to the figures themselves. The box features Japanese translated versions of the English text on the front and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. Take note that this was also the first Japanese release of the 2014 Camaro Bumblebee mold, 7 days ''before'' its ''Movie Advanced'' Series release (seen below).

:This individual release of the Bumblebee is an unchanged version of the figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask. Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color. The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Movie Advanced Series|Movie Advanced Series]]'' lineup (7 days after the original Hasbro Bumblebee mold from the Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee released in Japan), features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.

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

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

:''Platinum Edition'' Bumblebee is an extensively redecoed version of the second Deluxe Bumblebee figure. While the figure shares very similar paint operations from the ''Movie Advanced Series'' release of the figure, Bumblebee features extra paint apps on the wheel rims, toes, spoilers, some chest details, and other vehicle mode detailing, while the light-piping gimmick on the eyes is retained instead of painted over. Some other altered decos from the ''Movie Advanced Series'' includes replacing the black toes into gunmetal.

: A toy exclusive to Takara's 'Movie Advanced' line, this Bumblebee is a redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers (2010)'']] Battle Blade Bumblebee. This toy combines with some unpainted yellow robot parts and has metallic yellow paint on most of his car shells/body parts...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Other than this, the paint masks are ''completely identical'' to the original mold, with an exception of the flip-out cannon & his blade, which is chromed. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.

:Leader Class Bumblebee is a redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Leader Class Mechtech Bumblebee figure, omitting the MechTech backpack for cost reasons, and features a deco pattern similar to his appearance in ''Age of Extinction''. And of course, as a redeco of the Leader Class toy, Bumblebee can attach to said backpack. He shipped in solid cases, not part of the regular ''Age of Extinction'' Leader assortment. The stock photo on his packaging is a color-swapped version of the original prototype photo, lacking the backpack.

:While Bumblebee was available at general retail in some countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, he was a store [[exclusive]] in other markets such as the United States (at [[Costco]]), the United Kingdom (at [[Smyths]]), Canada (shared exclusive between Costco and Canadian Tire stores) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:This Bumblebee is a ''slight'' redeco of the second [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Deluxe Class figure]], with darker yellow plastic and paint seen in the first ''Movie The Best'' figure above. He also sports some tooling changes: Notably, the arm cannon is a different tooling that is the mirror opposite of the version available with the original release, and thus it is designed to attach to the ''right'' arm instead of the left one. Less notable is the addition of a [[C joint|3 mm peg]] to the right forearm to make it a mirror opposite of its left counterpart, allowing it to be attached to the back while the cannon is attached to the arm. Additionally, he comes with a new hammer accessory (hence the name) based on the hammer Bee used during his fight with Nemesis Prime in ''The Last Knight''. The Hammer can also be stored onto the rear hip, or onto Bumblebee's vehicle spoiler, mounted along with the Stinger Blaster. All the new pieces are made from the same tooling, resulting in slightly mismatched forearms, with the new right one made of gray plastic painted orange and silver while the left one is made of orange plastic with silver paint.

While the paint applications are identical to the (second) Takara release of the figure, Bumblebee also features a brighter yellow paint & plastic previously used for his ''The Last Knight'' toys, features additional paint operations on the rocker panels, the headlights are now brighter blue, and the windows are now smoke gray. Stock photos for his robot mode are mistransformed: his shoulder armors are not folded down.

Despite what the instructions say, the left arm should be pulled sideways out of the joint instead of down to prevent breakage of the connection. On several occasions, the only way to secure the feet's pegs is by pressing the pieces together firmly. (Make sure the pieces are properly adjusted.)

:The TakaraTomy stock photo of the robot mode has the waist kibble slightly mistransformed.

:This mold was also slightly retooled (changing the replaceable gun arm from the left to the right arm) into [[#MB18|''Movie The Best'' War Hammer Bumblebee]] and was used to make [[#Studio_Series|''Studio Series'' Bumblebee]].

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[September 30|09-30]], 2017
**''Accessories'': 2 projectiles (1977 Camaro Bumblebee), Missile (1967 Camaro Bumblebee), Detachable Arm Cannon (2016 Camaro Bumblebee)

:''[[Transformers Tribute]]'' Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack consists of redecos of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|the first Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the 2007 Movie]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|High Octane Bumblebee from ''Age of Extinction'']], and the most recent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|second ''Premier Edition'' Bumblebee figure]]. The 3-pack features particularly unique packaging, modeled after a garage, complete with graffiti.

:For the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee figure, he uses the opaque windows from the Hasbro release and the fixed Automorph gimmick from the Towed to Safety and the Evolution of a Hero 2-packs. Paint operations on this Bumblebee are minimized compared to his original release, omitting the battle damage on the vehicle mode and some smaller details of his robot mode such as the blue stripes on his thighs and parts of his face. The Automorph button does not use the painted stripes from the Evolution of a Hero 2-pack.

:The 1967 Camaro Bumblebee figure keeps the paint layout of its original "High Octane" release, but features several plastic color differences: The yellow parts are changed from a darker, more orange-y tone to the same lighter shade of yellow plastic shared among all the figures in this set, with the yellow paint operations and tampographs in vehicle mode changed accordingly, all the charcoal-colored parts are replaced by black plastic, the missile (and all of the unpaintable plastic joints) is changed from black to yellow, the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone, and the fully transparent windows are now a slightly tinted translucent plastic.

:The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure also features smoky translucent plastic in his windows as opposed to the original's entirely transparent ones. The Hasbro stock photo for his robot mode still depicts him holding his arm cannon as a gun. This also applies to Takara's secondary stock photos. Speaking of Takara, his vehicle mode roof is also slightly mistransformed.

:The set also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[April 28]], 2018

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1977 Chevrolet Camaro based on his appearance in the first live-action ''Transformers'' movie in 22 steps. He recycles the engineering of [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]] with all new parts, and is slightly smaller than said mold to fit in the new ''Studio Series'' scale. As a consequence of borrowing sculpting from the ''Premier Edition'' figure, this version of Bumblebee has some inaccuracies, including the arrows on top of his head, the panels on top of his shoulders, and the design of his forearms and thighs. Bumblebee uses a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] front grill on his robot mode chest, which the real grill slides over in vehicle mode. He also features rectangular holes on his lower front bumper, the rocker panels, the rear end of the front hood, and the lower valance, all meant for a [[#SS15|later release]].

:Bumblebee includes a cardboard backdrop display depicting his encounter with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and a Stinger Blaster based on the one from the ''Premier Edition'' figure, though mirrored to accurately attach to the right arm like the [[#MB18|''Movie The Best'' War Hammer Bumblebee]] toy. This version replaces the forearm using a hex peg instead of swapping at the bicep joint. The blaster/forearm stores behind the waist when not in use. The blaster can be mounted onto the rear bumper in vehicle mode.

:Depending on the individual sample's quality control, Bumblebee has some problems with parts (notably the rear section of the vehicle) refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position thanks to some tolerance issues. His lack of pins on the car roof, combined with said quality control issues, make the transformation ''absolute hell'' if followed by the instructions. Thankfully, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm921hDELGM ways] have been found to transform him to help remedy this problem. Also, be careful with the shin pieces as they can collide during transformation, scraping off the yellow paint.

:Bumblebee, along with the rest of Wave 1 Deluxes, was made available at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] following New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], two months ahead of the scheduled brick and mortar release. The second run of the toy features a running change that eventually amends the quality control issues that plagued the first run. The fixed version's date code is written as "80201". Sadly some copies carrying this code still have the QC issues from the original figure.

**''Movie'': '''''Bumblebee'''''
**''ID number'': '''15'''
**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster, bumper, 2 rocker panels, 2 spoilers, 2 hoods, [[Charlie Watson#Studio Series|Charlie Watson]] figurine, "Highway Freedom" backdrop

:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is a redeco of the above ''Studio Series'' 01 toy, featuring new customizable parts (front bumper, rocker panels, two spoiler options, and two hood options) for his vehicle mode to evoke the look of a muscle car (while making use of the rectangular holes from the original toy), though they prevent him from fully transforming into robot mode while attached (with the exception of the car hoods). The set includes a Charlie Watson [[Slug figure|figurine]] wearing a shirt with the ''Bumblebee'' logo. Compared to the first ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee toy, he has a black front grill with extra yellow paint on his hands and shoulders, but loses the striping on the vehicle shells and chest, the silver on the feet and on the blaster's arm guard, and the paint on his torso flap. Instead, a vast sticker sheet is included with multiple different decals to customize the figure.

:This set was originally intended as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive and had the working name "Rebekah's Garage" (presumably the name of the originally intended backdrop scene; the general retail wave 3 figure listed below has a "Charlie's Garage" backdrop), but because of Toys"R"Us's bankruptcy, those plans were changed. After having been found at a single [[Target]] store in the United States before it was even officially announced, it was revealed as an alleged [[Entertainment Earth]] "exclusive", but was simultaneously also listed by competing online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and ToyWiz, in many instances still under the old working name. It ''was'' released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Canada, with store price tags featuring yet ''another'' working name, "Street Racer Set". Neither name can be found on the packaging, which simply calls the figure "Bumblebee" with no additional prefix or suffix, and the included backdrop is "Highway Freedom", depicting a scenic coastal drive.

:All stock photos of the toy's robot mode are mistransformed: his back kibble/car roof is not folded into his back. They also have his blaster jammed over his right hand instead of swapping out the arm. Best not to replicate this as it may damage the parts.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[October 27]], 2018
**''Accessories'': Detachable Gatling Gun, arm blade, battle-mask face, "Charlie's Garage" backdrop

:Part of the third wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee transforms from a robot based on the ''Bumblebee'' film into a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle and back! He is based on concept art for the film, and thus has numerous inaccurate details, most notably the large door wings that weren't present on the final design. At the time, he was one of the smallest Deluxes in ''Studio Series'', standing at the same height as [[Jazz (Movie)#Studio Series|Jazz]], due to his small stature in the ''Bumblebee'' film itself.

:He comes with a detachable right Gatling Gun arm, an arm blade that can be attached to either forearm, and a battle mask that can be switched out with his removable face. All his accessories can be attached to the underside of his car or to his back in robot mode, with the unused face hanging off one of his smaller door wings. Bumblebee cannot be transformed with his Gatling gun arm on. Also included is a backdrop showing Charlie’s garage.

:Like the first ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee, this figure also suffers from several design flaws exacerbated by potential quality control issues. Due to the tolerance-altering layers of paint involved, the connection between the face pieces and the back of the head can either be too tight or pop off easily, potentially causing paint chipping. Meanwhile, his vehicle mode's kibble has some minor tabbing issues, notably on the waist piece. His 5 mm-compatible hands are prone to popping out if rotated back too far, and his door wings in robot mode have a tendency to flop over time. However, a gradual running change seems to have fixed these errors almost entirely.

:The vehicle hood and roof that forms his backpack is meant to lock securely into a groove on his upper back in robot mode, but there are two tabs along his back that make this process ''very'' difficult and pose the risk of breaking the translucent plastic hinge that has to be forced over them during transformation. While the first tab, located on his waist, is required to store his gun arm, the second tab just below the groove can be sanded down to ease transformation.

:TakaraTomy stock photos of the figure are actually those of their [[#7NetBattleDamage|rusty redeco]] of the figure, as evidenced by the missing silver paint on his feet and remnants of the added rust deco that were not completely edited out. This also makes the photos an unintentional reveal of the [[#SS24|Then & Now Bumblebee]] figure. One of the robot mode stock photos is also slightly mistransformed: his chest pieces are not locked correctly.

:To commemorate the ''Bumblebee'' movie, this ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is a redeco of the [[#Studio Series|1977 Camaro mold]] based on the 1978-81 Camaro Z28, featuring smokier windows, dark gold plastic, and gold painted vehicle parts. He also features a different vehicle striping with miniature ''Bumblebee'' logos and a "Z28" label. In addition, the set uses a lineup number of 19, the second Hasbro exclusive in ''Studio Series'' to possess a number after [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Studio Series|Thundercracker]]. This Bumblebee uses the second run of the mold, which appears to be much more stable than the initial retail release.

:The real selling point of this set is the addition of two ''Japanese-original'' Mini-Cassettes: [[Dairu#Toys|Dairu]] and [[Uruaz#Toys|Uruaz]], the first ever Hasbro releases of the molds.

:This set also bucks the typical ''Studio Series'' packaging design, having a special cassette-styled box inside of a decorated sleeve and omitting the line’s signature backdrop displays. The back of the sleeve lists [[User:BluJayWarrior/SSRetroSongReferences|Transformers-themed parodies]] of real song titles and amusingly includes a disclaimer saying “Product does not contain music”.

:This set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later made available via Hasbro Toy Shop. It also saw later release at Paris Comic-Con 2018 and in Japan as Tokyo Comic Con 2018 and TakaraTomy Mall exclusives. In Taiwan, this set was available at general retail.

:This ''Studio Series'' two-pack consists of 24 "Bumblebee 1967 Volkswagen Beetle", a redeco of the [[#SS18|Beetle mold]], and 25 "Bumblebee 2016 Chevrolet Camaro", a redeco of the second [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''Premier Edition'' mold]]. This Beetle Bumblebee features a number of rusty paint applications along the sides and front of the car and the silver paint operations are removed from his feet, which was previously seen in the TakaraTomy stock photo of the individual release. Additionally, the Autobot symbol on his non-battle mask face is larger. Deco omissions on the Camaro Bumblebee include the silver on the shins and shoulders. There is more black paint on the rocker panels and the front bumper.

:Both figures come with individual deluxe-sized backdrops, though they share one instruction sheet. The "California Hideout" backdrop is identical to the "Charlie's Garage" backdrop included with the first Beetle release. The Camaro Bumblebee’s backdrop depicts his chase through the streets of [[London]].

:The CG renders on the packaging depict the Beetle Bumblebee having silver paint on his feet, while the Camaro Bumblebee has the silver paint on his biceps, shins, and kneecaps.

:The name "Bumblebee Then & Now Two-Pack" comes from their BigBadToyStore listing<ref>''Studio Series'' Bumblebee Then & Now Two-Pack at [https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/87393 BigBadToyStore]</ref> and display names at conventions.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-19'''

**''Accessories'': Pistol, hammer, "WWII Flashback" backdrop

:Part of the fifth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, "WWII Bumblebee" is based on his appearance during [[World War II]] in ''The Last Knight''. Rather than transforming into the Mercedes-Benz car as seen in the movie, he transforms into an armored car as in [[Josh Nizzi]]'s concept art for the character — though it's a ''different'' armored car, being a {{W|Humber Light Reconnaissance Car}} rather than a {{w|Humber Scout Car}}! The vehicle parts feature a subtle olive paint wash. In a near-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot insignia can barely be seen on his forehead as it blends in ''too'' well with the green plastic.

:Bumblebee's Warhammer, based on the one used in World War II (and can double as a monotone version of the warhammer used in his fight against Optimus), doubles as a vehicle mode artillery barrel, with his handgun transforming into a top-mounted turret. While the turret base can be rotated, the pistol's handle is loose enough to swivel while mounted on, rendering the feature pointless. The hammer can be mounted on his robot back, and can be rotated to have the handle pointing upwards like in the movie. The gun has no designated storage in robot mode, but the backpack can be transformed into its vehicle mode configuration to store both weapons. The backdrop displays the Allied assault on a Nazi building. Bumblebee only comes with one gun despite wielding two of them in this scene.

:WWII Bumblebee also features a pseudo-[[Automorph Technology|Automorph gimmick]]: His front chest panel can be pushed up/down, extending/retracting his head. Due to his transformation scheme, WWII Bumblebee is a [[shellformer]], with the majority of the vehicle shells hanging on his rear. The kibble backpack also blocks the 3 mm hole for display stands unless it's slightly lifted up. In a rather baffling design flaw, the holes on the chest panel are seemingly meant to lock with the shoulder joints' tabs, but they are too far apart to be tabbed in. On the bright side, the arms are not easily dislodged further from the central body as the backpack holds the shoulder assembly in place.

:This mold was retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Studio Series|WWII Hot Rod]].

:Part of the fifth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, "Clunker Bumblebee" is a redeco of the [[#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' 1977 Camaro Bumblebee]], sporting a deco representing the beat-up look he had when first found by Sam, and even comes with a backdrop of [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo]]!

:The deco seems to be based on the [[#SSTaoBao|Taobao giveaway figure]] (or perhaps, using the same slightly inaccurate reference), though not as finely detailed. Consequently, he is missing a large rust spot on the back of the roof and there is extra rust on the doors and back, among other differences. There are also other paint changes on this figure: his chest's stripes and stomach's paint apps are omitted like the [[#SS15|Charlie Watson multipack]], the rear vehicle stripes are shortened, and the Stinger Blaster is entirely coated in silver (except the pegs). Some yellow paint is omitted from his forearms and the painted pegs on the feet that connect with the thighs in vehicle mode are removed. The Autobot symbol on his forehead is also slightly narrower.

:This release of the mold finally adds pins for the car roof's midsection, which prevents it from falling off during transformation.

:The fifth general retail Bumblebee figure in the ''Studio Series'' lineup, this Bumblebee represents his updated form in the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie and transforms in a whopping 39 steps, with some transformation cues taken from his ''Studio Series'' [[#Studio Series|1977 Camaro version]] and from the ''Dark of the Moon'' [[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]] mold. Like the [[#MPM3|''Masterpiece Movie'' figure]], this Bumblebee does not actually turn into his screen-accurate 2006 Camaro Concept, but rather a production 2010 Camaro, likely due to licensing. Notable differences are the shaping of the front bumper and the inclusion of an antenna on the roof.

:His head comes with a non-removable battle mask, which is on the same size ball joint as the original and Clunker versions of Bumblebee in this line, allowing you to easily swap the heads. Unlike the past ''Studio Series'' Camaro Bees, he has a Stinger Blaster that can simply be plugged into his hand, without the need to replace his arm. The blaster can be stored on the back of his robot or car mode. Because of the physical space needed to store the arms in vehicle mode, Bumblebee has a thin waist (with a front stomach panel to compensate) when viewed from the side. Though not depicted at right, his door-wings can be tilted upward to more accurately replicate their orientation in the movie. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display based on the tunnel interior where he scanned his new vehicle mode in ''Transformers''.

:Part of the ninth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, "Offroad Bumblebee" transforms into a licensed Willys MB Jeep from the opening of ''Bumblebee''. He includes a blaster accessory that can clip over his right arm and onto his backpack for storage, as well as under the jeep mode. An alternate storage method is to fit it into a gap in his back; this way is still secure and avoids chipping the painted jeep hood. The cardboard backdrop display depicts his battle with [[Blitzwing (BB)|Blitzwing]].

:Despite the accuracy of most of the mold, the sculpt of the shoulders and thighs are for some reason based on those of the [[#SS18|VW Beetle mold]] instead of the film's Jeep design.

:This Bumblebee is capable of using the blade included with the VW Beetle mold and the more accurately shaped one from the later [[#SS100|''Rise of the Beasts'' mold]], as they all use the same arm ports.

This figure is based on Bumblebee's Cybertronian form in the ''Bumblebee'' film, transforming into a yellow Cybertronian car. The arms, thighs, and pelvis are inaccurate to this version of the character as they are reused from Offroad Bumblebee, not to mention the lack of yellow paint on the shoulders and thighs. He features a battle mask head that can be swapped with Offroad Bee's unmasked head, though the yellow plastics between the two are slightly different shades.

:He comes with a redeco of the Gatling gun accessory with silver and gunmetal paint and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film. The blaster stores under the canopy in alt mode and simply drops into a gap in the robot mode's backpack.

:Part of the thirteenth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is a general retail re-release of the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' toy [[#BW74|below]] (though in all fairness, it's very likely this version was supposed to come out ''first'' had it not been for the sudden addition of the '86 figures to the ''Studio Series'' lineup). This figure, like his Buzzworthy release, is a slight recolor and remold of the above ''Studio Series'' 49 Bumblebee, with new wheels and front section of the car to reflect his 2010 Camaro Concept, a slightly resculpted blaster, and includes a static Sam Witwicky figurine. This version sports a more accurate orange-yellow color and new racing stripes, but also uses less accurate light gray plastic and silver paint applications, and has no paint on his feet. He is also conspicuously lacking black paint apps on the sides of his bumper, though this is more accurate to his robot mode. The box and cardboard backdrop depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]] are changed to the normal ''Studio Series'' graphics as opposed to ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. The box art reuses an old image of Bumblebee with his shoulder cannons, which are not included with this release.

:''Studio Series'' "N.E.S.T. Bumblebee" is a desaturated gray and silver redeco of the above [[#SS57|Offroad Bumblebee]], with a nameless repack of the Sam Witwicky figure originally included with [[#BW74|74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee]], which was meant to depict [[NEST]] personnel (dubbed "Officer Walken" by designer [[Mark Maher]]). Bumblebee also features clear green headlights and windows, and the Universal Studios version of the NEST/Autobot emblem on his hood. Though not based on the films, his color scheme of gray with subtle green highlights and an organization badge coincidentally evokes the [[#Daredevil|''Dark of the Moon'' Autobot Daredevil Squad Bumblebee]]. Maher envisioned this figure as being a drone built by NEST, but this is not reflected in the final product description.

:The seemingly odd choice for this figure's coloration is explained by the fact that it was originally intended for [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'', just like "[[Megatron (Movie)/toys#SSUniversal|As Seen In Parks Megatron]]", but due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, [[Universal]] had to temporarily close its theme parks. Looking for another outlet to release the two figures instead of waiting for the pandemic to be over, Hasbro made them both available as "shared exclusives" between several online retailers in the US, such as [[Hasbro Pulse]], [[BigBadToyStore]], or [[Entertainment Earth]]. While it was too late to completely redesign Megatron's packaging, N.E.S.T. Bumblebee was still in an early enough stage of development that Hasbro could change the packaging design and brand him as part of the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, despite never sporting that color scheme in the film itself.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=That was handled by another designer, but it was intended to released as a universal parks aligned Nest vehicle to go along with their in park experience which is based on NEST not Sector 7. But I can understand the confusion, when it is a vehicle form that was used by Sector 7 in the BB film.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJ-uY3siwM/c/18135768532251958/r/17889173801623003/|name=Sam Smith|site=Instagram|year=2022|month=04|day=10}}</ref> At one point the figure was considered for a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' release, with one [https://media.entertainmentearth.com/assets/images/b6bc6e82c7ba4a5db9f2679edef76c5bxl.jpg promotional image] retaining that branding.

:The official promotional render of the figure's packaging humorously misspells Bumblebee's name as '''Bumblbebee'''. It's only been ''37 years'', guys. (It's spelled correctly on the actual packaging.)

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is now based on his ''Dark of the Moon'' appearance. He's a significant, if subtle, retool of the [[#SS49|''Studio Series'' 49 mold]], featuring all new parts for his alt mode, except for the clear parts, roof, and door hinges, to accurately replicate his 2011 Camaro SS mode (and finally making the antenna on the roof accurate). In robot mode, he features a new armored faux chest and a slightly modified unmasked headsculpt, though it is lacking the usual Autobot symbol tampograph. He is missing the panels on top of his shoulders (ironically, they were inaccurately added to the [[#Studio Series|1977 Camaro mold]]) and the smaller wings are still made of his windows instead of the spoiler. He is also lacking paint on his feet, parts of his shoulders, and the rear vehicle stripes, in exchange for paint apps on his bumpers, roof, and chest. This is the first version of the mold to correctly leave the tops of the door windows unpainted. Bumblebee comes with yet another slightly resculpted Stinger Blaster, which can be handheld and stores on his back or on the rear of the car.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, depicting the Battle of Chicago. Hasbro stock images and CG renders forgot to fold down his secondary wings, while the former also has his chest mistransformed. The box art actually depicts Bumblebee in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design, though it was a new render used to promote ''Dark of the Moon''.

:Bumblebee and his wavemates were revealed on [[May 10]], 2022, with preorders coming up the same day. Unusually for a modern ''Generations'' release, Bumblebee was revealed by [[TakaraTomy]] before [[Hasbro]], which usually unveils upcoming toys before or simultaneously with TakaraTomy.

:"15th Anniversary" Bumblebee is a redeco/retool of the ''Studio Series'' 49 figure, featuring altered paint applications and plastic color changes. He utilizes the unmasked head from the above ''Dark of the Moon'' version, this time with the Autobot tampograph added, as well as the racing stripes from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version. On this version, the black plastic has been replaced with light gray, the yellow and dark gray plastics are lighter, and the clear plastic is a much darker translucent black. The gunmetal paint operations and headlights are now silver. Notably, paint applications were removed from his feet, faux chest, arm guards, and most of his shoulders.

:Some owners have noted that this version has much looser joints, especially in the legs, possibly from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold degradation]].

:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'' film]]. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop depicting the alley where the Autobots first met Sam on one side and the exterior of Sam's house on the other. Like the ''Dark of the Moon'' version, stock photos and renders for this Bumblebee leave the secondary wings untransformed.

:The 100th numbered release in ''Studio Series'', this Deluxe Bumblebee is based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'', transforming into a licensed 1977 Camaro with off-road modifications. He has black stripes on the roof that are inaccurate to the movie and is missing the Autobot symbol on his forehead. In a rare move, this toy features separate clear pieces for the windows.

:He comes with his Stinger Blaster and an arm blade. The blaster clips over his right hand. The unpainted arm blade attaches to either arm and is compatible with past ''Studio Series [[#SS18|Bumblebee]]'' [[#SS57|movie]] [[#SS70|Bees]]. Both accessories can store on his wings in robot mode. In car mode, the sword stores underneath while the blaster attaches to the rear. His backdrop depicts the volcanic final battle. His instructions have a small error, it shows folding the light segments up for transformation, which is their robot mode position. They should be folded all the way down, and will then click to horizontal when you push the grill into place.

:According to Sam Smith, the blade was originally intended for an "alternate release" before being packed in with this one. The blade ultimately didn't appear in the movie itself, where Bee dual-wields blasters instead. The included blaster can be held in his left hand, albeit upside down and exposing the top of the hand. Ironically, the blaster is cast in yellow plastic painted over in gray, whereas it was still mostly yellow in the film. Though perhaps this is a moot point as this toy's blaster is still based on its ''Bumblebee'' design anyway.

:A [[variant]] of this Bumblebee was found with a more completely painted face in a darker silver, though this means his yellow cheeks have been inaccurately painted over as well. This variant became more common in later cases of the figure. The repack in Wave 22 no longer uses plastic-free packaging.

:The packaging is decorated with artwork depicting the location in Chicago where Bee was nearly executed. The box art once again depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design rather than his ''Dark of the Moon'' one.

While he still has the inaccurate door wings, they can now swivel down to be somewhat hidden from view. The retooling also results in the rear side windows being painted and the unfortunate removal of his waist rotation.

:He comes with new gatling gun and arm blade accessories closer to their final designs. The gun plugs in his right hand like recent ''Studio Series'' Bumblebees instead of swapping with the arm like on the original mold.

:Based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie and the pre-credits scene in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, this Speed Series Bumblebee now transforms into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro.

His vehicle mode is largely unpainted, save for a single black paint app for the windshield and hood stripes. The black unpaintable patches on the car roof evoke roof stripes... even though this vehicle mode never ''had'' that detailing. He also features pinned wheels instead of the simple-assembly ones. In a surprisingly near-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot Insignia is sculpted on his fake chest. He shares a similar transformation scheme with ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Legion Class [[Sideswipe (RID)#Legion Class|Sideswipe]].

:Due to minor [[Design flaw#Clipping issues|clipping issues]] and potentially a case of [[Design flaw#Inferior glue|inferior glue]], pulling out his arms/vehicle headlights while converting into robot mode with excessive force can snap his 3 mm hands from his arms. Thankfully, as the hands are separate pieces, you can glue them back on with relative ease. It is unknown how many copies suffer from this flaw. Also, stock photos of his robot mode depict his eyes being unpainted.

*'''Energon Charge Bumblebee''' (2019)
**''Release date'': [[February 28]], [[2018]]

:Energon Charge Bumblebee is a clear color redeco of the Volkswagen Beetle mold above, released as a freebie for the April 2019 issue of TV Magazine, along with a buildable paper Ryusoul Changer, Ryusoul Sword, Red Ryusoul, and a RyusoulRed mask from ''Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger'', and a ''Kamen Rider Buttobasoul'' Kamen Rider Geiz Medal. The redeco also marks the first Japanese release of the Speed Series mold.

:This release loosens the front window panel a little, allowing it to click freely. He is also able to attach to an Energon Igniters core, a feature that is not advertised but is fairly obvious given his status as a redeco.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Power Series, 2018)

:Released as part of the individually packed ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniters Power Series, this Bumblebee is a Scout-sized mold that transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the 2007 movie into a 1977 Camaro in just a few steps. He also features a [[5 mm port|5 mm-compatible]] left hand, flip-out blaster and missile rack on both sides of his vehicle rear, a molded plasma cannon on his right hand, and a battle mask on his head. The cannon barrel on his right arm functions as a 3 mm port, allowing for the attachment of certain accessories to it. Bumblebee can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core to zip his vehicle mode forward. There is also a 5 mm port on the vehicle mode hood.

:His articulation in robot mode is rather sparse, limited mostly to his elbows.

:The central [[Stock photography|stock photo]] in the rear packaging depicts him having two 5 mm compatible hands, in contrast to the actual toy.

:Included as part of a Target-exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' "Jungle Mission 3-pack", this Bumblebee is another Deluxe Class iteration of the character that converts into a licensed off-road 1977 Camaro. His front bumper splits to become two hand-held daggers, and the rollcage that goes on his windshield can be attached to his left arm as a "shield". His right forearm can rotate to become a plasma cannon, which features a hexagonal 5 mm port in its barrel.

:The back of his head has a transparent section to allow for [[light-piping]], however the effect is mostly neutered since his eyes are painted over.

:This Bumblebee has two major [[design flaw]]s in robot mode: his neck has no locking point and the torso does not tab together securely, resulting the figure coming apart very easily when handling. His knees are also soft locked to only bend straight, 45, and 90 degrees.

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