.......Why is this not part of Bumblebee (G1)? - Jackpot 14:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

When the articles reach a certain length, and the toy and character parts are both quite long the Powers That Be decide to spin them off into seperate pages. G1 Megatron and Prime are the same way. Walky must have decided BB had reached the threshhold as well. --ZacWilliam 15:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

As Derik says below, it gives you a warning once the page gets too big. Bumblebee's page said it was too big. So, as per wiki custom, part of it was split off. --ItsWalky 15:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Which makes sense for editing, but why isn't it one article for viewing? -Derik 17:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I feel I should point out- Wikimedia gives uou a WARNIGN when the article does over a certain length, that it may impede editing because some browsers don't liek text boxes with more than 35km of text in them.

To repeat- editing. There's really no reason for viewing we couldn't just make the toy section an include. {{:Bumblebee (G1) toys}} so all of bumblebee's article displays on one page. When you click the edit-subsection button it takes you tot he right page to edit anyway. -Derik 15:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Splitting releases

Something that this page needs, which we've done with other pages, is to split up some of the "this toy was later released in this multi-pack", like the keychain Bumblebees, the TF Collection release, etc. Other pages, multi-packs are their own entries, and with the anchor templates, can be easily linked to within the article. I don't have all the info I'd need on me right now to do this (like the Japanese Legends pack info) and I really shouldn't be doing this much work at work, but if anyone else has the stuff on-hand, beauty.
And just to reiterate, when a pic is on the right side of the page, we can nudge it up above the bullet-points to save some vertical space should the text be a bit short. --M Sipher 15:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Classics/Henkei car type

Peugeot 206 seems close enough? *shrugs* Just a suggestion. --Lonegamer78 20:09, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Periods of activity?

What's with that "Periods of activity" part of Bumblebee's Generation 1 toys section? First I'm seeing it, and to be frank it doesn't look especially good or purposeful. --Detour 17:21, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

I proposed it quite a while back and, hearing no objection, added them in for G1 Bumblebee, Jazz, Grimlock, Prime, and Starscream. Basically the G1 guys who went through multiple bodies through fiction. I think it is useful to acknowledge somewhere that those characters have different toy-based bodies through the run of fiction. - Starfield 17:33, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

2010 Goldbug

In which Q&A was this comfirmed? I dont remember seeing it mentiond anywhere?--Fredbob 23:48, 19 August 2010 (EDT)

It might be a convention Q&A - the anon who added it didn't really specify, but with a bunch of cons on around this time, it's most likely. --abates 00:31, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

Lego (?)

Are the Lego-things in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDDbHzo7IMg legit, or stolen toys that violate he Wiki's rules?--TOM 13:17, 13 February 2011 (EST)

This video is unavailable, says YouTube. Now i'm curious if this vid was about Diablock, Kre-O, Construct-Bots, Built to Rule!, or just fans being fans. i'm also curious why TOM would suspect anything in the vid was stolen. --Rhymus (talk) 03:36, 10 December 2014 (EST)

G2 Chest Sticker

Did G2 Bumblebee come with a chest sticker or is the one he's sporting in that photo something the owner added? 96.247.85.33 12:25, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Given that it's a G1 sticker, I'd guess it's a Reprolabel that someone has put on. --Khajidha 13:51, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Some G2 toys did come with G1 faction stickers, but Bumblebee was not one of them. His chest is bare normally.76.226.122.82 19:56, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

I've decided to add a note to this effect to the entry.--69.212.230.105 19:27, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

Generations Bumblebee

I've noticed that other articles like Soundwave (G1) toys had Soundwave's War for Cybertron toy listed as a repurposing in IDW Publishing's Robots in Disguise comics and it appears as if the same is done for Bumblebee, but I don't see Generations Bumblebee listed anywhere. Should we add it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DannyBoy (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Bueller? I'm not familiar with this comic, but surely someone is. Cosmos1 (talk) 17:15, 7 October 2017 (EDT)

Who makes this costume headgear?

Who makes this? The webpage says it's "Officially licensed", but i'm not sure how to confirm that and i can't easily find information on who makes it. Also not sure where it would go on the wiki page, since i'm not sure when the costume was first made.

Construct-Bots?

Okay, so I know that we've discussed to merge these guys with the main character articles (which I still don't agree with and feel like this has jumped the gun of a final decision), but I thought we were only doing it for the ones with explicit markings as part of a line like Beast Hunters and Age of Extinction? And G1-based Bumblebee isn't in either. Escargon (talk) 04:01, 10 May 2015 (EDT)

"Cybertron Espionage"?

I noticed someone changed the name of the newer version of MP Bumblebee into "Cybertron Espionage" into multiple pages, like this one and the Masterpiece one. Why? I checked for pictures of the box and it's labeled "Bumble ver 2.0", with "Cybertron Espionage" being used only on the slipcover used by the Hasbro Pulse release of the figure (which is still referred to as Bumblebee everywhere else). --Phantom Dusclops'92 (talk) 11:32, 28 November 2019 (EST)

Encore Bumblebee

I made a slight edit to the Encore Bumblebee toy description. I own the figure and his headlights are silver much like the bumper sections, not white.

"Australian exclusives"

Added his Australian 1990 reissue in Australia to the G1 Toy section. I personally witnessed the Hornsby store of the long since defunct toy retail chain, Playscene stock Bumblebee, Beachcomber, Hubcap, Seaspray, Ramjet, Cyclonus, Starscream and Soundwave w/- Buzzsaw, and added several of these figures to my collection at the time.

Split

As with other popular character toy sub-pages, this page is taking too long to load for site visitors, verging on crashing browsers by so many images. Where and how should this page be partitioned? Using Generations branding as with Optimus and Megatron is convenient, but Locoman has pointed out at present, far fewer Bumblebee toys are branded Generations. Still, I say something has to give.
