: ''Han Solo is a [[human]] in [[Star Wars]].''

'''Han Solo''' is a skilled and/or lucky intergalactic smuggler, and pilot of the ''[[Millennium Falcon]]'', frequently finding himself on the run from [[Darth Vader]] and the [[Empire]].

He bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Harold Edsel (G1)|Harold Edsel]].

==Fiction==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
Shortly after making their famed completion of the [[Kessel Run]] in just under twelve [[Units of time|parsecs]], Han Solo and his co-pilot [[Chewbacca]] are discovered by the omnipresent Empire. Determined not to be captured so easily, Han and Chewie use one of the more recent modifications to the Falcon. Now able to split into not one, but ''two'' heavily armed attack robots, the Falcon unleashes a barrage of missile fire onto an Imperial vessel... showing Darth Vader that although she may not look like much of a threat, the Millennium Falcon sure does pack a solid one-two punch of speed and power! <ref>From [http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm?guid=92CFAB0A-6D40-1014-8BF0-9EFBF894F9D4&product_id=17376&src=endeca Hasbro's online Product Description].</ref>

**''Accessories:'' 5 missiles, missile launcher/Han's gun, Chewbacca's gun, radar dish, cockpit, Han Solo figure, Chewbacca figure

:A [[combiner]] of sorts, Han Solo combines with the Chewbacca figure to form the ''Millennium Falcon''. The ''Falcon'' features a firing projectile as well as some electronic [[gimmick]]s. Also included are two smaller "pilot" figures which fit within the cockpit of the ''Falcon''.

Titanus Prime: /* Speed Series */

{{picsneeded|various stuff}}
'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Transformers (2007)|multi-million-dollar film]]. Ergo, he gets a lot of toys and merchandise!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemovielegends.jpg|right|250px|thumb|It's not a fiesta with racing stripes... it's a fiesta OF racing stripes!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

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

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class Bumblebee and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys is changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The classic G1 cast...plus Barricade.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], Bumblebee, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Scanning Ver.''' (''Hyper Hobby'' magazine exclusive EZ Collection variant, 2007)

: A Japanese-exclusive version of the Legends Bumblebee toy, "scanning version" Bumblebee uses transparent plastics for his yellow parts. He was available as a mail-order item from ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine in September of 2007.

{{-}}
[[Image:Melltallic Bumblebee.jpg|right|255px|thumb|You know you know you want me]]
*'''Metallic Bumblebee''' (Tsutaya Records exclusive EZ collection variant, 2007)

: This Japanese metallic repaint of Legends class Bumblebee is an exclusive included with purchase of the Movie DVD at Tsutaya Records.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Legends Bumblebee Scorponok toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bee stings.]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Scorponok''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' Legends two-packs, a slightly redecoed Legends class Bumblebee, now sporting "battle damage" paint applications, comes with an all-new Legends [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] figure.

{{-}}
====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|250px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

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

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

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

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]
: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed [[Automorph]] gimmick.

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

{{-}}
[[Image:Bumblebee Barricade deluxeboxset.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

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

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

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Lawson exclusive Deluxe-sized Classic Camaro, TakaraTomy 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold (retaining the clear blue windows and missiles) that was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie TowedtoSafety toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, All Spark Insurance doesn't cover towing charges.]]
*'''Towed to Safety''' (two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|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>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee (Camaro Concept)''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

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

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

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

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

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

: A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.<ref>[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 mold.

: This mold was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now you are the piece o' crap.]]
*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

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

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

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A two-pack, exclusively available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and an equally unchanged Deluxe-class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles CaptureofBB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You'll never take me alive!]]
*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Camaro Concept Deluxe-class Bumblebee featuring a more accurate gray color scheme for his robot mode parts and a silver-painted face, Autobot symbol and toes. Additionally, a new red Autobot symbol is placed on his forehead, while his translucent parts are now a greener blue. The pack also comes with non-posable figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

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

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]).

[[Image:MovieTargetAllsparkDeluxeBumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bumblebee just went neon. For Playskool, see the Cyber Slammers version.]]
*'''All Spark-Enhanced Bumblebee''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Bumblebee in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe StealthBumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bumblebee, as he appears in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Bizzaro World]].]]
*'''Stealth Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe class 2009 Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

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

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:MovieDeluxePremiumBumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ("Premium Series" Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

{{-}}
*'''Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)

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

====Screen Battles====
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

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

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

{{-}}
====Ultimate====
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). 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.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

:A Costco-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Titanium Series Bumblebee (see below) as a bonus figure. Neither toy is changed from its respective original release.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee Bonus Value pack''' (Wal*Mart exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

:A Wal*Mart-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys are changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviefab.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:[[Fast Action Battler|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 mistransformed 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.

{{-}}
[[Image:FAB Rally Rocket BB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A rally car that isn't Smokescreen. Now that's something new.]]
*'''Rally Rocket Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A [[repaint]] of Plasma Punch Bumblebee. It transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a simple transformation. The right arm is a spring loaded missile launcher. As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood is presented as a solid brick.

{{-}}
====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberslammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A Battlecharger for the new millennium.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Cyber Slammers Bumblebee is an amazingly cute 1976 Camaro that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot buddy of human characters. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee CamaroConcept CyberSlammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|And so, Bumblebee rejoins the Throttlebots.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

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

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

{{-}}
====Trans-Scanning====
[[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

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

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

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

{{-}}
====Cyber Stompin' robots====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberstompin.jpg|right|150px|thumb|These boots were made for—you know the rest.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Stompin' Robots, 2007)

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

{{-}}
====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Bumblebee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Heli-pack not included]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

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

{{-}}

====Micro IR Transformers Cars====
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee MircroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Drives and shoots!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2007)

: Made by [[RadioShack]] under license from [[Hasbro]] and [[Dreamworks]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

{{-}}

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviets3.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Special feature: Can't talk, just like the real Bumblebee!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil isplay stand

: This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1976 Camaro body form. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

: This item was also packed in with Ultimate Bumblebee as a Costco-exclusive set.

{{-}}
===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''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 [[pricepoint]]).

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeerotfpreviewtoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Yes, you're buying this mold again. Surprise!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored "toe" sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic. Oookay...
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This extensive retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts, 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. Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. Interestingly, his arms can be detatched 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.

:His "heels" are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins. Disappointingly, his chest cannot deform like the previous releases of this mold (or his Fast Action Battler, which still has a deforming chest).
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_NEST_Battle_Pack_Bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Alliance Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Alliance Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Preview Bumblebee. He now has several black thick black stripes across the hood and roof, stripes and [[NEST]] logos across the doors and side fender panels. He also has black arms, legs and torso to match this new colour scheme, instead of the more accurate grey colours seen in the previous release and Cannon Bumblebee.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-BumblebeeNESTAlliance.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Battlefield Bumblebee Vs. Infiltration Soundwave NEST set''' (Deluxe 2-pack, 2009)

:A redeco and retool of Cannon Bumblebee with a new head featuring his battle mask, close to Stealth Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. He was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. Also included in the packaging is a "Mission Guide" catalog and ordering form for the mail-in exclusive [[Ravage (ROTF)|Recon Ravage]], a "starter sticker" for said ordering form, and a [[NEST Global Alliance]] iron-on patch. Two additional stickers from specially-marked NEST Global Alliance products and $4.95 shipping are required for the promotion. The promotion to get Recon Ravage does not exist in Europe.

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:ROTF HumanAlliance Bumblebee%26Sam.jpg|right|300px|thumb|NOT a headmaster.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

: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. 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 and securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left 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 ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:There is a significant misassembly issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin prototype as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. This can be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html rectified by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

====Ultimate====
[[Image:ROTF UltimateBumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*''' Ultimate Bumblebee Battle Charged''' (Ultimate, 2009)

:''Revenge of the Fallen's'' Ultimate Bumblebee is a retool of the 2007 version, with new rims, hood, front fenders. He also features a new, more accurate head sculpt with a battle mask. This time, his sound chip plays [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]".

{{-}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:ROTF_FAB_Pulse_Blast_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Pulse Blast Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

:Pulse Blast Bumblebee is a retool of 2007's Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with updated vehicle mode parts to reflect the changes in the prop Camaro vehicle, along with a new, more accurate head sculpt. Like the 2007's Plasma Punch photo, stock photographs by Hasbro neglect to tilt the car front fender panels.

{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_FAB_Sand_Attack_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Sand Attack Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

:Sand Attack Bumblebee is a redeco of Plasma Punch Bumblebee, not using the retooled parts of Pulse Blast Bumblebee. The deco itself consists of a sand-blasted-like camouflage pattern, or alternatively, a sand-worn appearance.

{{-}}
====Gravity Bots====
[[Image:ROTF GravityBot Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

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

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

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

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:This figure was recently shown at [[Toy Fair 2010]], with a new mold largely inspired by that of the Cannon BB. It may be the definitive Deluxe-Class Bumblebee thus far, with an optional battle-mask, highly movie-accurate arm-guards, and a right hand that can be switched out for his cannon. The left arm-guard has a flip-out blade made of blue plastic, and probably represents the electrical [[stinger]] that was once considered as a weapon for the character.

===='''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''====

[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|right|150px|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]

*''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.
:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus_Prime_Voice_Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

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

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

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

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

[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|250px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

:This [[Burger King]] toy is a representation of Bumblebee's concept Camaro vehicle form; though Bumblebee's four wheels are molded in, he has three extra wheels underneath to provide the ability to roll out. Pressing a button on his roof will play a sound clip of the [[Transformation#The_noise|G1 transformation sound effect]] and a small projectile will be launched from his front grill. The projectile has a sticker showing his robot mode on it. Flicking a switch on Bumblebee's underside will silence the sound chip, so the button will only launch the projectile.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' Doors

: This [[super-deformed]], non-transformable Bumblebee figure uses the standard [[Mighty Muggs]] body template, with swivel joints in his neck and arms. What sets him apart from other Muggs (except [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Mighty Muggs|Starscream]]) is his detachable door-wings. Like the rest of his wave, Bumblebee was an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

==Trivia==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]

* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical "stingers". The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

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

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

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|250px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

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

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

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

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]
: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed [[Automorph]] gimmick.

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

{{-}}
[[Image:Bumblebee Barricade deluxeboxset.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

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

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

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Lawson exclusive Deluxe-sized Classic Camaro, TakaraTomy 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold (retaining the clear blue windows and missiles) that was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie TowedtoSafety toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, All Spark Insurance doesn't cover towing charges.]]
*'''Towed to Safety''' (two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|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>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee (Camaro Concept)''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

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

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

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

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

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

: A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.<ref>[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 mold.

: This mold was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now you are the piece o' crap.]]
*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

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

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

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A two-pack, exclusively available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and an equally unchanged Deluxe-class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles CaptureofBB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You'll never take me alive!]]
*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Camaro Concept Deluxe-class Bumblebee featuring a more accurate gray color scheme for his robot mode parts and a silver-painted face, Autobot symbol and toes. Additionally, a new red Autobot symbol is placed on his forehead, while his translucent parts are now a greener blue. The pack also comes with non-posable figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

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

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]).

*'''All Spark-Enhanced Bumblebee''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Bumblebee in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe StealthBumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bumblebee, as he appears in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Bizzaro World]].]]
*'''Stealth Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe class 2009 Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

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

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:MovieDeluxePremiumBumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ("Premium Series" Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

{{-}}
*'''Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)

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

====Screen Battles====
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

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

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

{{-}}
====Ultimate====
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). 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.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

:A Costco-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Titanium Series Bumblebee (see below) as a bonus figure. Neither toy is changed from its respective original release.

**''Accessories:''

:A Wal*Mart-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys are changed from their respective original releases.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviefab.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:[[Fast Action Battler|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 mistransformed 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.

{{-}}
[[Image:FAB Rally Rocket BB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A rally car that isn't Smokescreen. Now that's something new.]]
*'''Rally Rocket Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A [[repaint]] of Plasma Punch Bumblebee. It transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a simple transformation. The right arm is a spring loaded missile launcher. As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood is presented as a solid brick.

{{-}}
====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberslammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A Battlecharger for the new millennium.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Cyber Slammers Bumblebee is an amazingly cute 1976 Camaro that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot buddy of human characters. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee CamaroConcept CyberSlammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|And so, Bumblebee rejoins the Throttlebots.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

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

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

{{-}}
====Trans-Scanning====
[[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

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

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

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

{{-}}
====Cyber Stompin' robots====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberstompin.jpg|right|150px|thumb|These boots were made for—you know the rest.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Stompin' Robots, 2007)

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

{{-}}
====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Bumblebee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Heli-pack not included]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

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

{{-}}

====Micro IR Transformers Cars====
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee MircroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Drives and shoots!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2007)

: Made by [[RadioShack]] under license from [[Hasbro]] and [[Dreamworks]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil isplay stand

: This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1976 Camaro body form. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

: This item was also packed in with Ultimate Bumblebee as a Costco-exclusive set.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''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 [[pricepoint]]).

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeerotfpreviewtoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Yes, you're buying this mold again. Surprise!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored "toe" sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic. Oookay...
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This extensive retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts, 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. Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. Interestingly, his arms can be detatched 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.

:His "heels" are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins. Disappointingly, his chest cannot deform like the previous releases of this mold (or his Fast Action Battler, which still has a deforming chest).
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_NEST_Battle_Pack_Bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Alliance Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Alliance Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Preview Bumblebee. He now has several black thick black stripes across the hood and roof, stripes and [[NEST]] logos across the doors and side fender panels. He also has black arms, legs and torso to match this new colour scheme, instead of the more accurate grey colours seen in the previous release and Cannon Bumblebee.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-BumblebeeNESTAlliance.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Battlefield Bumblebee Vs. Infiltration Soundwave NEST set''' (Deluxe 2-pack, 2009)

:A redeco and retool of Cannon Bumblebee with a new head featuring his battle mask, close to Stealth Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. He was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. Also included in the packaging is a "Mission Guide" catalog and ordering form for the mail-in exclusive [[Ravage (ROTF)|Recon Ravage]], a "starter sticker" for said ordering form, and a [[NEST Global Alliance]] iron-on patch. Two additional stickers from specially-marked NEST Global Alliance products and $4.95 shipping are required for the promotion. The promotion to get Recon Ravage does not exist in Europe.

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:ROTF HumanAlliance Bumblebee%26Sam.jpg|right|300px|thumb|NOT a headmaster.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

: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. 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 and securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left 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 ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:There is a significant misassembly issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin prototype as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. This can be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html rectified by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

====Ultimate====
[[Image:ROTF UltimateBumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*''' Ultimate Bumblebee Battle Charged''' (Ultimate, 2009)

:''Revenge of the Fallen's'' Ultimate Bumblebee is a retool of the 2007 version, with new rims, hood, front fenders. He also features a new, more accurate head sculpt with a battle mask. This time, his sound chip plays [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]".

{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_FAB_Pulse_Blast_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Pulse Blast Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

:Pulse Blast Bumblebee is a retool of 2007's Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with updated vehicle mode parts to reflect the changes in the prop Camaro vehicle, along with a new, more accurate head sculpt. Like the 2007's Plasma Punch photo, stock photographs by Hasbro neglect to tilt the car front fender panels.

{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_FAB_Sand_Attack_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Sand Attack Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

:Sand Attack Bumblebee is a redeco of Plasma Punch Bumblebee, not using the retooled parts of Pulse Blast Bumblebee. The deco itself consists of a sand-blasted-like camouflage pattern, or alternatively, a sand-worn appearance.

{{-}}
====Gravity Bots====
[[Image:ROTF GravityBot Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

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

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

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

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:This figure was recently shown at [[Toy Fair 2010]], with a new mold largely inspired by that of the Cannon BB. It may be the definitive Deluxe-Class Bumblebee thus far, with an optional battle-mask, highly movie-accurate arm-guards, and a right hand that can be switched out for his cannon. The left arm-guard has a flip-out blade made of blue plastic, and probably represents the electrical [[stinger]] that was once considered as a weapon for the character.

===='''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''====

[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|right|150px|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]

*''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.
:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus_Prime_Voice_Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

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

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

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

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

{{-}}
[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|250px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

:This [[Burger King]] toy is a representation of Bumblebee's concept Camaro vehicle form; though Bumblebee's four wheels are molded in, he has three extra wheels underneath to provide the ability to roll out. Pressing a button on his roof will play a sound clip of the [[Transformation#The_noise|G1 transformation sound effect]] and a small projectile will be launched from his front grill.

: This [[super-deformed]], non-transformable Bumblebee figure uses the standard [[Mighty Muggs]] body template, with swivel joints in his neck and arms. What sets him apart from other Muggs (except [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Mighty Muggs|Starscream]]) is his detachable door-wings. Like the rest of his wave, Bumblebee was an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

==Trivia==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]

* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical "stingers". The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

General Grievous

2010-04-02T11:35:18Z

Titanus Prime: /* Crossovers */

: ''General Grievous is a Kaleesh Separatist general in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:Generalgrievous-packageart1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
'''General Grievous''' has trained in the art of lightsaber combat with the evil [[Count Dooku]]. He is skilled in several unorthodox fighting techniques, such as a "furious four-[[lightsaber]] assault", and has used these skills to cut down several [[Jedi]] Knights. Now, Grievous changes into Wheel Bike mode to hunt and destroy [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and the remaining Jedi.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' General Grievous / Wheel Bike package</ref> He is the leader of the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems|Separatist]] army, which apparently has lots of [[Battle Droid|droids]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter package</ref> We're repeatedly told that he's much-feared, and he is guarded by his personal bodyguards, the [[MagnaGuard]]s.<ref>''Crossovers'' MagnaGuard / MagnaGuard Starfighter package</ref>

He seems to be a raging religious bigot against Jedi. But what manner of being is this Grievous?

**''Accessories:'' Missile, 2 lightsabers (green & blue)

:This version of General Grievous transforms into his own starfighter. It comes with two lightsabers, one green and one blue, and a hand-held blaster with spring-loaded missile. The blaster doesn't fit in either of his hands very well, and it can't be stored anywhere while Grievous is in robot mode. While the arms and legs have excellent articulation, his waist is held in place due to the large amount of [[kibble]] connected at the waist locking into his back during transformation. His head can turn from side to side. Like all of the ''Crossovers'' figures, it does not come with a pilot mini-figure, but still has an opening cockpit with space for one, specifically the Grievous mini-figure from the previous mold of the character.

: Later runs of the toy uses different packaging that adds an apostrophe to the toy's name, making it "Grievous' Starfighter".

Weirdwolf (G1)

Titanus Prime:

{{factions|decepticon|decepticong2}}
:''A [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] Weirdwolf is.''

[[Image:Weirdwolf boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Yoda]]? This Yoda you speak of, who is?]]
The "weird" in "Weirdwolf", '''Weirdwolf''' puts. To talk to himself he doesn't just like; to talk to himself he ''really'' likes. Ceaselessly. And to make matters worse, not even very ''well'' he does it. To talk in a strange [[Yoda|backward speak]] few can make sense of but himself, he likes.

Cute at first this personality quirk might seem, but once other Decepticons realize that totally off his nut he is, their best to avoid speaking with Weirdwolf they do. Just too ''weird'', he is.

[[Binary bonding|Binary bonded]] to the [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] [[Monzo]] Weirdwolf is, and really wishes that Weirdwolf would shut up Monzo does.

====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Weirdwolftrialbyfire.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Weirdwolf, if keep hanging out back there you do then get colored you will not.]]
Among [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s troops was Weirdwolf. Followed [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his Autobots from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]], they did. After the Decepticons were soundly defeated by the Autobots, upgraded with [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]], Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons who underwent the Headmaster process to even the odds. Now [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the Nebulan [[Monzo]], he and the other Decepticons defeated and captured the Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

The Autobot Headmasters escaped, and the Decepticons followed the Autobots from Nebulos to [[Earth]], where the two factions battled in the vacant [[Mount Saint Hilary]]. Though Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner, the Nebulan [[Galen]], was killed, Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons were driven off when [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] replaced him. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

''When Decepticons from the future travel back in time to 1989, following a group of Autobots attempting to stop a rift in space-time from swallowing the entire universe, Weirdwolf and several other Decepticons are displaced to [[Limbo]]. Presumably, they are returned when the future Decepticons left for their own time near the end of the ensuing battle.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Scorponok's Decepticons soon met up with the group of Decepticons stranded on Earth led by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aggravated the two sides towards a civil war. During the following Decepticon-on-Decepticon battle, Weirdwolf was run over by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Cold War!|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Weirdwolf's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}}

Weirdwolf and his Decepticon comrades were once again manipulated by an outside party when both Autobots and Decepticons responded to the [[Air Strike Patrol]]'s stunt at [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Weirdwolf pounced on Optimus Prime when Prime lost his temper and tore through the rest of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The orchestrator behind this staged battle was revealed when Starscream, rebuilt as a [[Pretender]], arrived and fought both sides in the name of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

[[Image:Weirdwolfthevoid.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.]] When the second Decepticon civil war broke out between Scorponok's faction and a small group of rogues led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], Weirdwolf was one of those buried under Scorponok's headquarters near New York. He was unharmed, however, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] ordered him, [[Misfire]], and [[Fangry]] to the surface to help protect their commander. The battle came to a halt when all Earth-bound Transformers were instantaneously transported to Cybertron to prepare to battle [[Unicron]]. Weirdwolf listened to [[Primus]] (via a possessed [[Emirate Xaaron]]) tell the origin of the Transformers and their imminent destiny. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Unicron subsequently attacked, was defeated, and Weirdwolf was one of the lucky survivors. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

Under the pretenses of an Autobot/Decepticon alliance, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] led Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons to [[Klo]], stranding the Autobots on their dying home planet. {{storylink|Exodus!}} When the Autobots followed them, the Decepticons ambushed them, killing all but five. Bludgeon sent Weirdwolf, [[Octopunch]], [[Fangry]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to hunt down these stragglers, but Weirdwolf had trouble hunting their scent. Unfortunately, their prey rose before them and overcame their group. Weirdwolf apparently escaped, as he appeared next as part of the main battle, where Optimus Prime had returned. He leaped onto Optimus from behind, but before he could deliver a deadly blow, Grimlock's group had returned victorious, and he was destroyed by a blast Grimlock fired from Octopunch's trident. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====Generation 2====
[[Image:Weirdwolfg2.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Don't you mean, "Time for feeding it is"?]]
Weirdwolf was one of countless Decepticons under Bludgeon's command when they fought the Autobots over ownership of a cache of weapons on an unnamed barren world. Bludgeon ordered a retreat when a gigantic creature who guarded their quarry warned them away. {{storylink|Ghosts|Ghosts}} Later, he and the other Decepticons were ordered to rampage across Earth in order to get Optimus Prime's attention. Weirdwolf, like his comrades, enjoyed this job very much. {{storylink|Tales of Earth Part One}}

Megatron returned and quickly usurped Bludgeon, but not long after Megatron fell in battle against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] over [[Tykos]]; Weirdwolf was part of the search party for Megatron's remains. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

When the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to defeat Jhiaxus and his [[Cybertronian Empire]], Weirdwolf was present in both the battle on [[Ethos]] {{storylink|Escalation!}} and the final battle on Earth. {{storylink|Total War!}}

{{-}}
====Classics====
[[Image:Weirdwolfgod.jpg|right|180px|thumb|This sounds [[Wheelie (G1)|familiar]], doesn't it? The wrong characters are talking like that, oh shit!]]
In the fifteen years after the battle on Klo, Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons under the command of the spacefaring [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and assigned to the command of the mysterious [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]]. Whether Weirdwolf followed Bug Bite of his own accord or was sublimated by Bug Bite's reverse-engineered [[Cerebro-shell|cerebro-shells]] is anybody's guess. What is known is that Bug Bite had Weirdwolf rebuilt to remove his Headmaster technology, resulting in both a spurned [[Monzo]] and Weirdwolf being even less coherent than he was previously, having to resort to talking to his own wolf head in the absence of his Headmaster partner.

After the return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bug Bite's team arrived on [[Earth]] under the pretenses of forming a partnership. Weirdwolf and the rest of Bug Bite's team were escorted back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Megatron's current headquarters. Suddenly, due to cerebro shells implanted earlier, nearly all of Megatron's troops doublecrossed him, turning their guns on him at Bug Bite's radio-controlled command. However, Weirdwolf's recreation was his team's downfall; Monzo turned to the Autobots with what information he knew, and a rogue Autobot team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and jammed the cerebro shells' frequency. Weirdwolf was critically damaged by Megatron in the resulting crossfire. {{storylink|Games of Deception|Games of Deception}}

The barely-alive Weirdwolf and apparently-dead Bug Bite were dragged (literally in the latter's case) back to their ship by [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]]. He put Weirdwolf into a newly-installed [[CR chamber]] to heal. {{storylink|Withered Hope|Withered Hope}}

After the return of Optimus Prime, the Decepticons were scattered across the galaxy. Suddenly, they returned en masse, descending upon [[Autobot City]] on Earth. Weirdwolf was among their number. After the Decepticons retrieved the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] called off their attack and they retreated. But when the Decepticons brought the key to Cybertron to activate the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], it was retaken by a group of Autobots who were subsequently thrown across the galaxy. [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] took a ship of Decepticons, which included Weirdwolf, and followed the Autobots to the planet [[Nebulon]].

Confronting the Autobots in a cave, Decepticons were unable to retrieve the key, but did capture the Autobots' wounded. Weirdwolf dragged [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] back to their ship. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth, Part 1}} During the ensuing interrogation, the Decepticons were ambushed by the remaining Autobots, who had teamed up with the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Gort]]'s native rebel forces, and had been rebuilt into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. The Decepticons' ship demolished, they fled into the trees, where the Decepticons were abducted by the evil overlords of Nebulon, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. The Hive, too, wished to become Headmasters, and so [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] offered him the Decepticons who transformed into animals. Weirdwolf was paired with Monzo.

{{note|The bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo is depicted at the conclusion of an error-filled sequence of events. First, Mindwipe hypnotizes his reluctant partner Vorath, who is mistakenly drawn as Monzo when this occurs. Then Mindwipe and Vorath bond together, alongside Skullcruncher silently bonding with Grax. Then the voice of Grax, emanating from a character drawn as Vorath but colored like Monzo, declares "I am to be bonded to that creature? This project was a bad investment!" while the "creature" he is looking at is Skullcruncher, colored like Weirdwolf. This is immediately followed by the bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo. Oh, Rebirth, you so crazy!}}

[[Image:Weirdwolfrebirthb.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Rowr.]]
With Headmaster and also [[Targetmaster]] technology behind them, the Decepticons retrieved the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber in battle. The Autobots quickly struck back with Targetmasters of their own, but the leader of the Hive, [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]], had rebuilt the Hive's city into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Scorponok abducted [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who was in possession of the key amidst battle, and with the Decepticons inside, it returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

Upon their return, Galvatron was unhappy with Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons' alliance with organic creatures, but reluctantly accepted them into their ranks temporarily since they had possession of the key. The Autobots followed them back to Cybertron, and after a huge battle involving all of the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Scorponok, and the new [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], the Decepticons retreated inside Scorponok just as it was swatted off-planet by volatile surges of the activated Plasma Energy Chamber. Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons retreated to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-86'''
**''Accessories:'' Monzo Headmaster unit, [[Photon pistol|Photon Pistol]],[[thermo-sword| Tail/Thermo Sword]]

: Weirdwolf transforms into a mostly yellow robotic wolf. He has some articulation in his legs (mostly in his forelegs), and his jaw can open. A clear red canopy on his back opens to reveal a cockpit/storage compartment for his Headmaster partner, Monzo. His beast mode tail has a blade on its underside, later serving as a shortsword in robot mode.

: As with many mammalian-derived beast mode Transformers, his robot mode is essentially his beast mode standing on his (extended) hind legs. A panel on each shoulder slides down to reveal a bank of non-firing rockets. Monzo forms his head, inserted into a slot on his upper torso. Some tabs of various lengths on Monzo push down three spring-loaded buttons inside the neck cavity, which in turn reveal three [[Tech Spec]] ratings on a bar-graph in his chest under a grey panel. He is armed with a green rifle and his [[thermo-sword| tail-sword]].

**''Accessories:'' Tail/sword/missile launcher weapon, 1 missile, Jungle Planet Cyber Planet Key
[[Image:Weirdwolftimelinestoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|What I bring you is plight, and colors bright bright bright!]]

:A bagged set of [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]] and Weirdwolf was released at BotCon 2007 as a souvenir set add-on, limited to 1400 pieces. A yellow and turquoise [[redeco]] of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]], Weirdwolf transforms into a techno-organic wolf. His articulated tail features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transparent orange projectile. Inserting his [[Cyber Planet Key]] causes his lower jaw to open and a pair of transparent orange fangs to extend from his upper mouth. Unlike other Cyber Key gimmicks, this feature does not automatically secure itself into position, so as to allow the user to repeatedly open his mouth with the Cyber Key. However, his mouth can be locked into the open position by rotating down the two pieces of turquoise 'fur' on his cheeks.

: In robot mode, Weirdwolf is almost his beast mode inverted, as his robot legs are the beast hind legs rotated, and the torso and arms are the beast torso split and flipped. He is armed with his tail, which has an articulated handle that allows it to be held as either a projectile weapon or as a sword. He retains his Cyber Key feature in this mode. He comes with a green-bordered Jungle Planet type Cyber Key, which still has Snarl's [[Key Code]], "'''d43j'''," stamped on its back.

: This mold was also used for [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Fangwolf Black Version]].

==Notes==
[[Image:G1WeirdwolfOriginalHead.jpg|right|thumb|For better quality stills Transformers Wiki would kill.]]
* In early planning stages, the Large Headmasters were to have differently styled heads that would be replaced by their more familiar heads during the Headmaster process. Much like the "trainer" concept for the small Headmaster parters, this quickly fell by the wayside; a [[commercial]] for [[Ring of Hate!|Headmasters #1]] featuring animation of Weirdwolf and others is the only time these designs were used.
* The instruction sheet to Weirdwolf's Generation 1 toy contains perhaps the most unintentionally perverse direction ever written for such a thing: ''To complete wolf, insert post on tail/thermal sword into hole on wolf rump.'' Ew.[http://fortmax05.10gbfreehost.com/instructions/g1/decepticon/weirdwolf.jpg]
* In [[Bob Budiansky]]'s run on Marvel Comics, Weirdwolf started out with his trademark speech quirk, but when writer [[Simon Furman]] took over, he lost it and sounded like everyone else. In ''Timelines: Games of Deception'', written by [[Forest Lee]], Weirdwolf seems to have gotten it back.
* Despite having the status of a ''Classics'' toy, ''Timelines'' Weirdwolf features the modified Decepticon symbol seen on the [[Transformers (2007)]] Movie action figures.

Umm..
IF I recall correctly Astrotrain and Blitzwing came out in '85.
Might be wrong.

Astrotrain and Blitzwing were from 1985. If I recall Armada Laserbeak said Triple Changer on his box. As did several Cybertron redeco Mini-Cons with weapon modes (like Anti-Blaze, Prowl and Scythe). I think Cybertron Dark Scorponok and Cryo Scourge as well.

The toy catalogues list Metroplex, Trypticon, and Fortress Maximus with having three modes as opposed to others like the Scramble City leaders with unmentioned intermediate modes. There should really be some discussion what what makes a triple changer and what doesn't.
:I think in terms of this article, it's just about the direct official use of the term 'Triple Changer', even if it hasn't been applied to some three-mode characters. --[[User:Ratbat|Ratbat]] 11:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Seems ATB Megatron was a Triple Changer, according to a Hasbro pitch man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFfW-95fghU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallspark%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Findex%2Ephp%3Fshowtopic%3D61309&feature=player_embedded [[Special:Contributions/68.61.240.172|68.61.240.172]] 23:49, 3 August 2009 (EDT)

The translation show bible for Beast Wars Neo refers to guys like Big Convoy, Longrack, Coroda, Heinlad, Break and Stampy as "three-changing" (yes, Heinlad turns from robot to beast to statue!)

I have not changed it yet because *maybe* I am mistaken, but the ROTF Megatron doesn't have three modes does it? I own the voyager version, and I am sure there is no official jet mode and the leader one is so inflexible you couldn't make up a third mode if you tried.

'''Signal Flare''' has taken a different tactic to protecting [[Earth]] from the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Eschewing combat, he prefers to hide among the [[Human|humans]] and secretly help build their structures to withstand damage from Decepticon weaponry, rather than the mission of fighting [[that big green, fire-snortin' lizard]] which might be implied by his alt mode. He also remains vigilant in watching out for any Decepticon activity on Earth, quickly transmitting details to the Autobot high command.

He's found a prime staging ground at the [[Wash & Roll]], an automobile service station and car wash near the [[Ron Witwicky|Witwickys]]' home. It's from here that he keeps his fellow Autobots clean and properly maintained.

As a recruit, Signal Flare underwent training missions with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]—said training being "attack that heavily armed Decepticon base!". Signal Flare expressed concern that they'd be wiped out by a massive number of Decepticons, and to his annoyance was ordered to do a flanking run to draw fire. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

Many years ago, Signal Flare was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s science division under the command of Optimus and Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. He was part of the dig team excavating the ruins outside the temple of [[Simfur]] when a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was unearthed. Soon after, strange aliens from the [[Eshems Nebula]] attacked, reducing much of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] to rubble. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}} In the aftermath, he helped [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] search for survivors in the ruins. Later, he was present at a meeting called by Optimus, who explained Megatron's demand for compulsory military service and a new mission of war against all of Cybertron's enemies. Signal Flare heeded Optimus' warning and kept out of Megatron's personal war. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2}} However, Optimus' followers were soon branded traitors and civil war erupted across Cybertron. Signal Flare joined Optimus ''Prime's'' Autobots and was one of those who elected to stay behind while the Autobot ship ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' pursued the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]], which had been cast into space in a desperate attempt to buy the Autobots some time. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

Thousands of years later, Signal Flare, along with [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], Warpath, and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], was captured during a raid and put to work by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] to construct [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] [[replica Allspark|replica]] at [[Simfur]]. Signal Flare managed to sneak away, but was soon recaptured by [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] and strapped to the AllSpark, with the intention of draining his life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Signal Flare and the others died when the life-force draining part went off without a hitch. However, the new AllSpark didn't work. Bummer. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:SignalFlare-Movietoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Yes, the camo MASER tank ''is'' a common construction vehicle.]]
*'''Signal Flare''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories'': MASER dish, 2 shields, "energon" chip

: Signal Flare transforms into a Cybertronic half-track MASER tank. Moving the MASER arm causes the dish on the end to spin. The dish can be combined with a pair of shields to form a buzzsaw weapon.

: Signal Flare (and the rest of the Scout wave) are [[exclusive]] to Target stores, where they are all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Signal Flare comes with a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]] which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code printed on his cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content.

: This toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Gutcruncher (SG)|Gutcruncher]]. This mold is also used by ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]]. The Signal Flare body design is used as the model for the ''[[Attacktix]]'' [[Omnicon]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Autobot/SignalFlare/signalflare.htm More information on Signal Flare at TFU.info]''

==Trivia==
* Signal Flare's bio pegs him as an Autobot, where his toy's only "faction" marking is for [[Sector Seven]]. It's possible Flare is hiding out among the Sector Seven motor pool disguised as one of their uh... MASER tanks used for... doing... construction...at the car wash. Uh... yeah.

* Target.com's expanded Robo-Vision profile places him at the Wash & Roll, the titular location of the [[Marvel Comics]] issue, "[[Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom]]."

Titanus Prime:

Very good point about the fire-snortin' lizard. I forgot that that article existed. :D

:His bio- at least his Robovision bio- says he's a radar vehicle (or possibly a crane or somethign with a detachable radar dish and other communications antennas.)
:I realise that the Maser tank jokes are ''funny''? But I think they give the wrong impression about what the character is actually supposed to ''be''. Incongruity of the toy aside- they did at least ''attempt'' to make it make more sense in the fiction. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know what Energon toy he is a redeco of. He definitely is, as he has an energon chip and all movie scouts were redecos.

'''We are all just food for... DEAD END!'''

==Spare Parts!==

* '''Script:''' [[Simon Furman]]
* '''Art:''' [[Jon Davis-Hunt]]
* '''Colours:''' [[Hi-Fi Design]]
* '''Lettering:''' [[Den Patrick]]
* '''Continuity:''' [[Revenge of the Fallen]] (sequel)

[[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and [[Rollbar (ROTF)|Rollbar]] are on a survival exercise in [[Death Valley]], looking for a town "that doesn't exist on any map", running only on their reserve power. Both Jolt and Dune Runner aren't too happy with the area, with Dune Runner noting that there's something wrong about it. Possibly it's the [[Dead End (ROTF)|ravenous decomposing horror]] that's spotted them and roars that it needs parts...

An irritated Rollbar tells them it's a survival exercise, it's ''meant'' to be hard: they need to stop acting like the raw cadets they are and start acting like proper Autobots. Dune Runner is having none of it, pointing out they're going to be cadets for a long time: they all arrived on Earth ''after'' the great battle against [[The Fallen]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide's]] crew can handle the mopping up of the remaining Decepticons. But while he thinks they're surplus to requirements, Rollbar is determined that they're going to prove themselves to be Autobots anyway! While Dune Runner is dismissive of Rollbar's enthusiasm and their chances of finding their objective, the truck knows where to go: he did some research before coming, and leads the other three to an old, abandoned mining town. (The decomposing fiend follows...)

Their task now is to find the emergency recharge pack in town before their reserves give out. (Dune Runner will be glad to get it and leave this creepy place!) Jolt swiftly finds the pack, happily noting that ''he'' can find ''any'' power source... but the undead monster finds ''him'' as well! One horrified scream later and the monster makes his way towards the other cadets, tearing into Dune Runner. Rollbar finds Jolt, his left arm torn off at the shoulder, but the wounded 'bot orders his comrade to go help Dune Runner instead. As the monster tears an arm off the other cadet, screaming about a need to rebuild, Rollbar whallops him so hard the creature's neck bends back...

[[Image:Titan11_RollbargetsWHOPPed.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

And then he hits Rollbar flying! His rotting arm has shattered in the process, so he plugs Dune Runner's severed arm into its place. But he needs more, and Jolt knows that, with them running on empty, they've only got one chance against this rotting fiend... and so he uses ''every'' bit of energy in the recharge pack to charge up his electro-whips and finally puts the monster down! The battle done, Dune Runner wants to put the creature down; Rollbar disagrees, saying they're going to act like Autobots. Instead of killing him, they're going to take him back to [[Diego Garcia]].

Two days later, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] calls the cadets in with answers. It turns out the half-dead Decepticon is called Dead End, and the Decepticons built him with an experimental regeneration circuit that should have repaired combat damage automatically. Instead, it drove Dead End mad and ate away at his molecular cohesion; with his core programming running, he was driven to desperate extremes to keep himself together. By getting Dead End to Ratchet, the cadets saved his life and showed their commitment to being Autobots. In Ratchet's book, they've got what it takes!

===Quotes===

"So what you saying, Dune Runner? We should just give up? Not me. ''Uh-uh''. We ''show'' them what we can do. And ''keep'' showin' 'em!"
:—'''Rollbar'''

"''PARTS... SPARE PARTS!"
:—'''Dead End'''

"We should put it ''out'' of its misery."<br>
"No, we shouldn't. Cadets or not, we're Autobots — let's start acting like ones."
:—'''Dune Runner''' and '''Rollbar'''

===Errors===

* It's presented like Jolt was ''also'' a dude who came to Earth after the second film. Now, we know he didn't have many scenes but c'mon, guys...
* That's not a Decepticon Ironhide and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] are 'cleaning up', it's [[Hoist (Movie)|''Hoist''!]] (This could be a [[Hoist (G1)|twisted G1 homage]] rather than meant to be the movie-verse Hoist)

===Notes===

* On the [http://www.facebook.com/TransformersComic Transformers Comic Facebook page], a solicit for the issue says that Dead End was cast out by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] after he was released from stasis on the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]] and it was clear he'd gone wrong. This is never stated in the issue itself, but is pretty implicit since he's wondering around on his lonesome, muttering as he dies that he "MUST... OBEY... MUH-MEG...". (Bizarrely, the solicit says the story takes place in [[Alaska]] and that [[Depthcharge]] is in it...)
** This indicates Megs is experimenting on the [[hatchling]]s.
[[Image:Titan11_grinningRatchet.jpg|right|150px|thumb|"His pain tastes nice."]]
* The war on Earth is explicitly stated to be considered over, reduced to a clean-up operation.
* Dead End is based on his Deluxe class toy, and is given a fearsome set of fangs that his toy doesn't have. When Ratchet saves him, his face turns into the toy's mouth.
* When Dead End attaches spare parts to himself, they change colour to match his other parts.
* Ratchet looks ''disturbingly'' happy when talking about the regeneration unit that almost killed poor Dead End!

===Law and Disorder===

"...when we started this letters column I could have happily ejected you into the nearest star, but now I'm getting to like you."<br>
"No you're not. Stop saying that."
:—'''Ironhide''' and '''Barricade'''

"Look, I'm not defecting to the Autobots. I mean, it would be nice to hang out with other 'bots who transform into cars, but I just can't!"
:—'''Barricade'''

"I like this [Decepticon jack o'lantern] because two days after this photo was taken, the whole thing probably rotted and collapsed. Quite a fitting visual metaphor for the Decepticons, huh?"<br>
"I prefer to think of it as a shining beacon of artistic talent and human ingenuity, from a loyal supporter of the Decepticon cause."
:—'''Ironhide''' and '''Barricade'''

"Well done, Thomas, keep up the good work and we'll be sure to spare you and your family when we take over this wretched, unbearably wet planet."
:—'''Barricade'''

"You're little more than a mobile phone with a personality, who overcompensates for his shortcomings with overly large cannons."<br>
"The cannons are great though, aren't they?"
:—'''Barricade''' and '''Ironhide'''

====Starscream's Stars====

"VIRGO (23 AUG - 22 SEPT): Lay your cards on the table when faced with a problem. Of course they're tarot cards and you just picked '[[Death]]'."

"SAGITTARIUS (22 NOV - 21 DEC): The sun has put a smile on your face. That's because Megatron has used a giant magnifying glass to burn one on."

"AQUARIUS (20 JAN - 18 FEB): The only way you'll walk in Megatron's shoes is when he stomps on you and you end up like toe jam between his claws."

"TAURUS (20 APR - 20 MAY): Wow. It turns out you're a Decepticon, not an Autobot. That would explain all the dreams you have about conquering helpless planets and then you wake up crying."

==Notes==

* We get the oversized card covers with cutaway gifts again. The price goes up to £2.75.
* This is the first time that the puzzles and competitions have been given some resemblance to the events of the strip!
* Ironhide thinks Jolt got "quite a bit of screen time for a new kid on the block". He's wrong.

Titanus Prime:

Does this article really need to exist? What does it really have to do with Transformers? Am I missing some subtle TF in-joke?
:[[User:Omnisvalidus|Omnisvalidus]] 08:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

:Jesus was referenced in the Dreamworks Transformers movie, so it's reasonable to have an article describing his relevance in the TF mythos. Hence the emphasis on his status as a moral exemplar implied by the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?", the car thing, and the cross symbol over anything of theological substance, and the snarky sentence about a possible connection to that Christmas holiday Transformers have repeatedly encountered. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 09:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

:This article seems like a biiig stretch to me, too. Yes, the word "Jesus" has been spoken a few times in Transformers fiction. I'm not sure that really justifies the article. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 17:00, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

::And yet we already have [[Frijole]] in the Gods category. Are we going to delete that too? -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 19:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Frojole doesn't read like an unencyclopedia entry. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 19:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Plus, "Frijole" largely serves as a wry commentary on the stereotyping of Carlos. This article just doesn't strike me as having that much of a point to it, and seems random almost to the point of off-topicness. [[User:TVsGrady|TVsGrady]] 20:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's an article worth having, but this version is not done brilliantly. I feel like it should be done in the same way as articles like [[Nicholas]], acting as if the references in Transformers fiction are the only existing information anywhere. Maybe Jesus (Movie) ''wasn't'' a carpenter, who knows? --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 20:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

:That part came from the pre-existing [[Christmas]] article. I've removed it from both since, yes, Transformers have never been seen learning about the trades practiced by incarnate human deities. What else do you think is too self-aware, the possible connection to Christmas? -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 22:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it's had the tobedeleted tag for 12 days since the issue was last (and first) discussed inconclusively. If there are no objections, I shall remove the tag on the assumption that it's not getting deleted no matter how long the tag stays there. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 00:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

:We have [[:Category:To be deleted|bunches of articles]] that have been tagged for deletion way longer than that. It doesn't mean the page belongs. It just means nobody deleted it yet. If you want to save the article, how about rewriting it, since nobody in this talk page said they liked it? Andrusi at least said he might support it if it were better. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 14:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

::The rewrite would be... difficult in-universe. Has INRI ever been namechecked outside of the movie? (Maybe Paul Charteris's flashback to his time studying to be a priest mentions it...) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 15:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Only on the TF Wiki would the Son of God be considered non-relevant. I'm amused. I would say we '''keep''' the article in the spirit of silly pages, but this whole wiki is snarky enough that it doesn't need separate pages for in-jokes. --[[User:Slander|Slander]] 13:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It's overall just not a good idea, it will spark quite some wrong reactions. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 18:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
: As a Christian in possession of a sense of humor, I disagree. I love the fact this article exists and think it's hilarious. [[User:Ronimus Prime|Ronimus Prime]] 21:42, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
::Rick Astley has an article, why can't Jesus have one?[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 20:48, 25 February 2010 (EST)

This article is pointless. Yes it was mentioned once in the live-action movie, but so was masturbation, are we going to make an article about masturbation? It's not even amusing (which may partly justify the existence of an irrelevant article). [[User:Titanus Prime|Titanus Prime]] 14:44, 30 March 2010 (EDT)

:Hey now. Mrs. McDormand was in Aeon Flux, so it's not like she's above Hollywood fluff. And John Malkovich is in Jonah Hex and did things like Johnny English in the past. The Transformers film franchise attracted Hugo Weaving, Jon Voight and Robert Foxworth before them, so I don't see why other notable actors being cast would be such a shock. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 12:14, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
::Weaving and Foxworth, at least, are both actors who've done mainstream scifi franchise stuff before, so I wasn't surprised by them at all, actually.
