Age of Extinction

[edit]

The "Cell Block Breakout" Bumblebee Kreon is based on his Camaro SS design from the first part of the Age of Extinction movie.
This set also includes a buildable Dinobot beast Strafe.


Sure, replacing their backpacks with magnets is funny, until he pays his own price.
"Galvatron Factory Battle" Bumblebee is based on his 2014 Camaro design. He comes with a ferrous-metal backpack, which can be attached to the magnetic crane in the factory playset, or any of the other magnets used through the line (or any other magnets you happen to have lying around, magnetism isn't that picky). He comes with a new-style robo-blaster with multiple clip-bars and posts to build off of.
This set also includes a buildable Dinobot raptor and a Galvatron super-robot.


Unknown to him, this was actually Ratchet's healing gun.
Available in the "Grimlock Unleashed" set, this version of Bumblebee has slight differences from the "Galvatron Factory Battle" Kreon: he has a different facial expression, and his torso tampographs feature bits of "battle damage". He carries a large black blaster rifle rather than the new pistol style, and lacks the metal backpack.


Now he's gonna slag that one scrapheap that made a prank by chroming his favorite yellow helmet.
  • Bumblebee (Custom Kreon, 2014)
    • Set number: A9229
    • Pieces: 30
    • Accessories: Rack, blaster, double barreled gun, club, wing-pack, extra body parts
Part of the Collection 2 of the Age of Extinction Custom Kreons, this Bumblebee comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His "normal" helmet is chromed, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the Kre-O Battleship aliens) plus a spare hand, as well as a buildable chainsaw-club. Like the Custom Kreon Optimus Prime, he also comes with an extra Wheeljack-style wing-pack.


"in the nameth of Primus, i wilt prank thou!"
Silver Knight Bumblebee is a redeco of the Age of Extinction Bumblebee Kreon, with much of his plastic now in metallic silver and pewter. He comes with a large sword (from the Kre-O Dungeons & Dragons series) rather than a blaster.
This five-pack of Kreons was not released in the US or Canada, only seeing release in various Asian markets.


Let's face it, you're not buying this set for the Bumblebee.
The "Decepticon Replicator" Bumblebee Kreon is identical to the one from the "Galvatron Factory Battle" set, only missing the magnet backpack and carrying a black blaster instead of copper.
This set was not made available in US or Canadian markets, seemingly only hitting stores in Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and China. It was specifically sold at the "Transformers Exhibition" event in Kaohsiung, Taiwan from July 11 to July 20.

Movie Trilogy Series

[edit]
The only toy from this series whose cancellation made you happy.
  • Bumblebee (MechTech Deluxe, 2012)
Movie Trilogy Series Bumblebee is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Bumblebee. Like the rest of the Movie Trilogy Series, its release was cancelled.
Don't even expect him being reissued for Takara's Movie Advanced Series anyway.
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.

Proceed on your way to oblivion.
This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

EZ Collection Gum

[edit]
  • Bumblebee (EZ Collection Gum)
Released as part of the blindpacked EZ Collection Gum series, this Bumblebee is a redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class figure, with added paint operations on the bumper.

Robots in Disguise (2014)

[edit]

I don't really know just where my head's at
I don't really know what it's about
So I flip out
And I like to flip out
  • Bumblebee (Flip & Change, 2014)
Part of the second wave of Flip & Change assortment, this roughly Voyager-sized Bumblebee toy is a simplified version of his 2014 Camaro body that can auto-transform from vehicle to robot by pulling out the arms first and then flip the figure over itself. He features articulation on his arms, and features 5 mm compatible hands.
Bumblebee shares a transformation scheme with his fellow Flip & Changers, Lockdown and Drift.


Hey im right over u do u see me? Im the bee flapping my wings here!
(Hasbro version pictured)
(TakaraTomy version pictured)
  • Bumblebee (One-Step Changers, 2014)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: LA03
The One-Step Bumblebee features a 2014 Camaro Concept alternate mode and a more unique and complex transformation compared to the other One-Steps. Also unlike other One-Step Changers, his transformation has three steps; you are required to flip out his fists and rotate his forearms after changing to robot mode.
The Japanese release of Bumblebee features some slight deco changes such as a painted grill and bumper.


  • Transformers: Age of Extinction Collection (One-Step Changer six-pack, 2014)
The "Transformers: Age of Extinction Collection" set includes an unchanged One-Step Changer Bumblebee, packed with an equally unchanged Drift, Lockdown, Grimlock, Slug & the included One-Step Silver Knight Optimus Prime toy.


  • High Octane Bumblebee (One-Step Changers, 2014)
  • Battle Command Optimus Prime & Bumblebee Strongest Tag Set (10-18-2014)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: LA-14
A new mold of the One-Step Changer Bumblebee, he transforms into a customized 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS, and he features a molded right arm cannon and a left arm sword. Bumblebee shares his transformation with Drift, Prowl and Rollbar.
The Japanese release of the toy is completely unchanged, and it was bundled with the re-released Battle Command Optimus Prime, as part of the "Battle Command Optimus Prime & Bumblebee Strongest Tag Team" set.


  • Mega 1-Step Bumblebee / Mega Flip Bumblebee (2014)
    • Accessories: disc
A large transforming toy of Bumblebee making use of the "Flip & Change" switchblade-like technology (similar to Drift's). The toy features a shuriken-esque disc, which can be fired from his right hand via pressure fire.
Bumblebee has two packaging variants: he is either released in open, bubble-less card in robot mode or boxed packaging in vehicle mode. Whereas the version in English-only packaging (released in the United States and Australia) is named "Mega 1-Step Bumblebee", the European release in multilingual packaging is named "Mega Flip Bumblebee".

International bot of mystery, known by many names.
A Walmart exclusive version of the Mega 1-Step Bumblebee figure that includes a "bonus value" Legion Class Decepticon Stinger figure. Both figures are unchanged from their original single releases.


Bumblebee got new workout tips from X-Brawn.
  • Bumblebee (Power Battler, 2014)
Based on his 2014 Camaro body, Power Battlers Bumblebee is a simplified figure around the Deluxe class in size and he features a "Power Punch!" gimmick in robot mode, which is triggered by twisting his torso to the left.


  • High Octane Bumblebee (Power Battler, 2014)
Power Battler High Octane Bumblebee is based on his appearance in the first half of the film and transforms into a customized 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS. He also includes a "Cannon Blast!" action feature which can be activated in robot mode by squeezing his legs together, swinging around his arm cannon to firing position.
As a tail-ender for the Power Battlers assortment, High Octane Bumblebee eventually fell victim to "tail end of the line" syndrome, and wasn't officially released until much later than initially planned, not helped by a massive slowdown at US West Coast docks caused by union action. Thus far, High Octane Bumblebee has only been available in Hasbro's Asian markets, from online retailers and discount stores like Ross, T.J.Maxx, and Five Below.


Totally what your kid is begging for.
  • Bumblebee & Strafe (Dino Sparkers, 2014)
Dino Sparkers Bumblebee is a static, non-transforming, non-articulated black-colored minifigure riding a clear version of Strafe that you can pull back and go. This toy features a sparking gimmick.


  • Bumblebee (Titan Heroes, 2014)
Titan Heroes Bumblebee is a massive 12-inch figure of Bumblebee... which is extremely simplified and has a mere five points of articulation. As if all the relatively simplified toys in this section aren't enough.

Knock Out Stinger would be utterly shocked if Bee shows his entire horsepower just to kill him in close range.
  • Bumblebee vs. Decepticon Stinger with Strafe (Scene Pack, 2014)
    • Accessories: Blaster
Bumblebee is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Series 1 Bumblebee, available only in a "Scene Pack" with an unchanged Deluxe Class Strafe and a redeco of Prime Cyberverse Series 2 Knock Out as Stinger. Bumblebee includes the Cyberverse Series 2 weapon based on Prime Bumblebee's wrist blaster in clear red, which he can wield in his left hand.
This three-pack was available exclusively at Walmart stores in the United States, at Asda stores in the United Kingdom, at Müller drug stores in Germany, and at Auchan stores in Italy. Along with Stinger, a number of loose Bumblebees (often without his blaster) is later dumped at several Hobby Shops in Asia.


I changed my vehicle paint job. Buy me again!
  • Bumblebee (Legion, 2014)
Legion Class Bumblebee is a single-carded redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class Bumblebee in his 2014 Camaro detailing, but does not use the Cyberverse Bumblebee/Bolt Bumblebee's retooled hand. He is released as an exclusive at Walmart stores in the United States, at Asda stores in the United Kingdom and at Müller drug stores in Germany.

  • Bumblebee & Dinobot Strafe (Two-Pack, 2014)
Another, slightly different, redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class Bumblebee, available only in a two-pack with a redeco of Beast Wars Terrorsaur as Strafe. The only deco differences are the brighter yellow plastic, the extended stripe on the vehicle mode's rear quarter panels, a white face paint, and a black Autobot insignia on his right arm. This two-pack was exclusively available at Walmart stores in the United States and at Asda stores in the United Kingdom.
Considering this is the 19th use of the mold, this has to suffer from mold degradation. It has to.

For the first time in history, this color scheme is actually canon. Just wait for the yellow redeco.

  • High Octane Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2014)
    • TakaraTomy name: Classic Bumblebee
    • TakaraTomy ID number: AD04
    • Accessories: Missile
High Octane Bumblebee is based on the character's initial black-colored appearance that he sports for the first half of Age of Extinction, being colored similarly to multiple 'Stealth Bumblebee' decoes of past. Despite said body being mostly derived from his previous ones, it is an entirely new mold. He transforms into a customized 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS, and sports a pressure-fired missile launcher attached to his right arm.
The Japanese release of the toy is called "Classic Bumblebee" and features slightly different paint applications.


I'm gold and I know it
  • Kinmekki Bumblebee (2014)
    • Accessories: Missile
A gold-plated (金メッキ, kin mekki) redeco of the High Octane Bumblebee figure, this toy was a prize for a winner in Japan's "Real Robot Battle" event.


Bitchin' Vintage Crap.
  • Chrome Bumblebee (2014)
    • Accessories: Missile
A vacuum metalized redeco of the High Octane Bumblebee figure, featuring silver chrome on both of his paintable and unpaintable plastics unlike the Kinmekki Bumblebee figure above. this toy was a prize for the highest spenders at the AoE toyline launch celebrations in Asia.


Admit it, you bought this for the other Bee.
  • Bumblebee (Evolution 2-Pack, 2014)
    • 22 OF 30
    • TakaraTomy release date: 8-3, 2014
    • Accessories: 2 throwing stars
Available only at Toys"R"Us stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the Age of Extinction film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back, removed and held as throwing star weapons, or store underneath his vehicle mode. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip-out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Bumblebee cannot transform into vehicle mode with his Shurikens pegged on his back.
The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee redecoed from the Generations Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Jolt's MechTech weapon. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the Age of Extinction Deluxe figure's single-carded release.
The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes to the figures themselves. The box features Japanese translated versions of the English text on the front and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. Take note that this was also the first Japanese release of the 2014 Camaro Bumblebee mold, 7 days before it's Movie Advanced Series release (seen below).


Stinger's yellow knockoff.

You bought the Evolution 2-pack already? Oh well. Time to buy me again.

  • Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2014)
    • TakaraTomy name: New Bumblebee
    • TakaraTomy ID number: AD27
    • Accessories: 2 throwing stars
This individual release of the Bumblebee is an unchanged version of the figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask. Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color. The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of Movie Advanced Series lineup (7 days after the original Hasbro Bumblebee mold from the Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee released in Japan), features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.
Most promotional images featuring this figure (like the one above), except the ones from Takara, have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chest.
The mold was later redecoed as Movie Advanced Series Stinger.


Like the Takara release, but even better in every way.
  • Autobots United 5 Pack (Platinum Edition, 2014)
    • Accessories: 2 throwing stars
Platinum Edition Bumblebee is an extensively redecoed version of the second Deluxe Bumblebee figure. While the figure shares very similar paint operations from the Movie Advanced Series release of the figure, Bumblebee features extra paint apps on the wheel rims, toes, spoilers, some chest details, and other vehicle mode detailing, while the light-piping gimmick on the eyes is retained instead of painted over. Some other altered decos from the Movie Advanced Series includes replacing the black toes into gunmetal.
Bumblebee was released as a BBTS shared exclusive "Autobots United" set along with screen-accurate redecos of Optimus Prime, Crosshairs, Drift and Hound.


Voyager Class toys

[edit]

What do you mean I'm a Voyager now?
  • Battle Blade Bumblebee (Deluxe Voyager, 2014)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: AD08
A toy exclusive to Takara's 'Movie Advanced' line, this Bumblebee is a redeco of Transformers (2010) Battle Blade Bumblebee. This toy combines with some unpainted yellow robot parts and has metallic yellow paint on most of his car shells/body parts...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Other than this, the paint masks are completely identical to the original mold, with an exception of the flip-out cannon & his blade, which is chromed. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.


Leader Class toys

[edit]
To save some money, Bumblebee decides to change his paint job on his previous body.
  • Bumblebee (Leader Class, 2014)
Leader Class Bumblebee is a redeco of the Dark of the Moon Leader Class Mechtech Bumblebee figure, omitting the MechTech backpack for cost reasons, and features a deco pattern similar to his appearance in Age of Extinction. And of course, as a redeco of the Leader Class toy, Bumblebee can attach to said backpack. He shipped in solid cases, not part of the regular Age of Extinction Leader assortment. The stock photo on his packaging is a color-swapped version of the original prototype photo, lacking the backpack.
While Bumblebee was available at general retail in some countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, he was a store exclusive in other markets such as the United States (at Costco), the United Kingdom (at Smyths), Canada (shared exclusive between Costco and Canadian Tire stores) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

Construct-Bots

[edit]
  • Dinobot Riders Bumblebee (Age of Extinction, 2014)
    • Pieces: 18
Part of the first wave of Dinobot Riders toys, Bumblebee turns into a little car-thing. He includes a gun based on his on-screen counterpart.
His nominal Dinobot steed is Strafe. Like most Construct Bots figures, Bumblebee's rubber ball joints can harden over time, which prevents smooth posing.


Back from summer.
  • Dinobot Warriors Bumblebee & Nosedive Dino (Age of Extinction, 2014)
    • Pieces: 61
Dinobot Warriors Bumblebee is another new version, also based in Age of Extinction Bumblebee. He, of course, turns into a car and comes with a gun with detachable blade as well as Nosedive, a Pteranodon robot. Nosedive that can turn into an armor for Bumblebee.


Has the spiky insignia before Quillfire is a thing.
  • Bumblebee vs. Decepticon Stinger with Strafe (Walmart exclusive, 2014)
    • Pieces: 44
This Walmart exclusive Bumblebee is a redeco of the Dinobot Riders one, with a more movie-accurate color scheme in robot mode and battle damage in vehicle mode. He comes with Stinger and a redeco of Strafe.

Q-Transformers

[edit]
  • Bumblebee (2014)
    • ID number: QT-02E
Q-Transformers Bumblebee transforms from a super deformed 2014 Camaro Concept to a cute little robot. This version was sold as an exclusive at Transformers Expo months before the proper release of the toyline.
His right arm is sculpted in cannon mode making him one of the figures in the line thus far with any sort of weaponry.


  • Bumblebee (12-26-2014)
    • ID number: QT-02
The mass retail release of Q-Transformers Bumblebee is cast in a more orange shade of yellow than the Transformers Expo exclusive version.


  • Clear Bumblebee (12-26-2014)
    • ID number: QT-02E
This clear plastic redeco of Bumblebee was given away to customers who bought 5 or more Q-Transformers toys through Toys"R"Us Japan. It was limited to 3000 pieces.


Anybody else getting Rung vibes?
  • Bumblebee (Shirei, sasugassu!) (7-25-2015, 1-30-2016)
    • ID numbers: QT-24, QTF-02
This Bumblebee is a new mold that matches the character's more cartoony and simplified appearance in the Q-Transformers cartoon. The added "Shirei, sasugassu!" on his name means "As expected of the commander!" (司令、さすがっす!) said in a flippant kinda way. This line was given as one of Bumblebee's catchphrases in his profile for the Q-Transformers cartoon.
Like the previous Q version of movie Bumblebee, the right arm is sculpted in cannon mode again making him one of the figures in the line with any weaponry.
This toy was re-released with a new ID number as part of the second Q-Transformers series.


  • Q-Transformers Protagonists 3-Figure Set (1–30–2016)
    • ID number: QTFS-01
The second Bumblebee toy was also sold in a three-pack with fellow cartoon main characters Optimus Prime and Lockdown. They come with a cardboard backdrop to be displayed on that depicts a typical service area of a Japanese expressway, much like the real locations the characters stand around in in the cartoon.
Although usually sold in Japanese markets, some department stores in Asia had sold the set as well.

Movie The Best

[edit]
This version of the mold was released as part of the 10th anniversary series with a gatling gun, but no premium paint operations? You have failed us yet again, Takara!
  • Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2-4, 2017)
    • ID number: MB-02
    • Accessories: Gatling Cannon
Released as part of TakaraTomy's Transformers Movie The Best toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the live-action film series, this Bumblebee is a redeco of his Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class toy, with a Gatling Cannon accessory that originally came with Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Leadfoot. While the entire deco is basically an orange-yellow plastic version of the Neo-Scanning Bumblebee toy, this figure also features a small new paint operation consists of adding some gold paint on the knee details.


  • Dino Ride Strafe & Bumblebee (Deluxe, 3-25-2017)
    • ID number: MB-09
This reissue of Generations Age of Extinction Strafe comes with a new poseable-but-not-transformable Bumblebee mini figure, standing a wee bit taller than a Titans Return Titan Master.


Yup. I traded extra paint apps for a hammer.
  • War Hammer Bumblebee (3-24-2018)
    • ID number: MB-18
    • Accessories: Removable Stinger Blaster, Hammer
This Bumblebee is a slight redeco of the second The Last Knight Premier Edition Deluxe Class figure, with darker yellow plastic and paint seen in the first Movie the Best figure above. He also sports some tooling changes: Notably, the arm cannon is a different tooling that is the mirror opposite of the version available with the original release, and thus it is designed to attach to the right arm instead of the left one. Less notable is the addition of a 3 mm peg to the right forearm to make it a mirror opposite of its left counterpart, allowing it to be attached to the back while the cannon is attached to the arm. Additionally, he comes with a new hammer accessory (hence the name) based on the hammer Bee used during his fight with Nemesis Prime in The Last Knight. The Hammer can also be stored onto the rear hip, or onto Bumblebee's vehicle spoiler, mounted along with the Stinger Blaster. All the new pieces are made from the same tooling, resulting in slightly mismatched forearms, with the new right one made of gray plastic painted orange and silver while the left one is made of orange plastic with silver paint.


  • Arm Gun Bumblebee (03-23-2019)
    • ID number: MB-EX
    • Accessories: Clawed Plasma cannon
Arm Gun Bumblebee is a redeco/slight retool of the Age of Extinction Bumblebee figure, featuring a new flip-out right hand which also doubles as a 5 mm port and a flip-out cannon, and he comes with a new Clawed Plasma Cannon which can be wielded by his right hand, or mount onto his vehicle mode. While the paint applications are identical to the (second) Takara release of the figure, Bumblebee also features a brighter yellow paint & plastic previously used for his The Last Knight toys, features additional paint operations on the rocker panels, the headlights are now brighter blue, and the windows are now smoke gray. Stock photos for his robot mode are mistransformed: his shoulder armors are not folded down.
This toy is released as an exclusive for Toys"R"Us Japan.

Turbo Changers

[edit]

It's the Opposite Day for Hasbro & Takara! (No, seriously. This is the TakaraTomy stock photo.)
  • Bumblebee (1-Step Turbo Changer, 2017)
    • TakaraTomy name: Speed Change Bumblebee
    • TakaraTomy ID number: TLK-06
    • TakaraTomy release date: 04-29, 2017
1-Step Turbo Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of the Age of Extinction One-Step Changer sculpt, transforming from a 2017 2014 Concept Camaro with 2017 Camaro detailing. Like his wavemate Optimus Prime, he features minimal paint operations. As with all of the Turbo Changers, Bumblebee features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm's UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.


  • Bumblebee & Autobot Hot Rod (1-Step Turbo Changer 2-pack, 2017)
This Bumblebee is another redeco of the Age of Extinction One-Step Changer sculpt with a large yellow Autobot insiginia on his black hood, and a "personal" insignia on both doors that's literally a Bee. Unlike the general retail 1-Step Turbo Changer, he doesn't have a hidden symbol that can be revealed via UV light.
This 1-Step Bumblebee was part of the exclusive Autobots Unite subline imprint, available only in a 2-pack with a redeco of 1-Step Turbo Changer Autobot Hot Rod. For the United States, the 2-pack was announced to be excusive to Walmart, but was ultimately only available via Walmart's online store, and was found at discounter Ross around the same time. Internationally, the 2-pack was also available via other exclusive venues, namely Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Walmart in Mexico; Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company) in the Netherlands; Intertoys in Germany; and ICA Hemma in Sweden.


  • 1-Step Turbo Changer "Reveal the Shield" 6 Pack (2017)
    • Accessories: Axe, Club, 2 spear-like weapons, Scimitar, Shield
This Bumblebee is yet another redeco of the figure above, featuring red wheels and a Tech Spec-sque pattern on his chest/front vehicle hood which can be decoded with his transparent red weapons, which are molded in a sprue similar to the ones used for the Arms Microns kits & Robots in Disguise (2015) Mini-Con figures. He can use any weapons included in this set, although his primary weapon is a club.

  • Bumblebee (Knight Armor Turbo Changer, 2017/2018)
    • TakaraTomy name: Big Bumblebee
    • TakaraTomy ID number: TC-02
    • TakaraTomy release date: 02-03, 2018
Part of the first wave of Transformers: The Last Knight Knight Armor Turbo changers, Knight Armor Bumblebee transforms into a modified yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro, by pulling his front vehicle/shoulder parts, although you have to convert him back to a vehicle manually. Bumblebee also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which involves pressing the button on his upper chest to activate his spring-loaded battle mask. He's also one of the first few toys released that feature Bumblebee's featured alt mode from the movie.
The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized gold with some flat black details.


Flip N' Change

[edit]
  • Bumblebee (Flip N' Change, 2017)
This Bumblebee is a Walmart-exclusive redeco of the first Flip N' Change figure, featuring new vehicle mode details based on the 2017 Concept Camaro.


Tiny Turbo Changers

[edit]

  • Bumblebee (Tiny Turbo Changers, 2017)
    • Series: 1 & 2
    • Bag Code: E
Tiny Turbo Changers Bumblebee is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic blind-bagged mini-figure that changes from robot to a Concept Camaro 2016 with just a few simple steps. He features hands that are compatible with Cyberverse weapons and other 3 mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry. His legs are attached backwards in package. However, his legs can be easily dismantled from the hood/feet & the waist, flipping the legs backwards, and reassembled.
Despite bearing the Concept Camaro 2016-ish vehicle mode, his robot mode sculpt and paint applications resemble his appearance in Age of Extinction.
He and the Optimus Prime were available in the first two Series of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases – even Bumblebee's misassembled legs and their bag codes remain unchanged. Their instruction books were, however, updated to say "Series 2". This Bumblebee was released with minor deco changes in Series 3 (see the Movie Edition entry below).


Rejected prototype for Transformers: Crossovers Punisher.
  • Knight Strike Bumblebee (Tiny Turbo Changers, 2017)
    • Series: 1
    • Bag Code: L
Released in wave 1 alongside the normal-colored version, this version of Tiny Turbo Changer Bumblebee is a stealth-themed redeco of the figure above. His legs are on the right way around!


Blooderbee
  • Optimus Prime / Steelbane / Bumblebee (3-pack, 2017)
    • Accessories: "Autobot" weapons sprue (2 swords, flail-axe, left shield-half), "Decepticon" weapons sprue (2 cutlasses, knife, right shield-half)
Released as part of the Target-exclusive Reveal The Shield subline, this Tiny Turbo Changer 3-pack contains a redecoed Optimus Prime and Bumblebee (in their first non-blindpacked release) and a new Steelbane figure. This version of Bumblebee features red wheels & Tech Spec-esque patterns on his forehead and robot mode chest, though the real decoding is on his vehicle mode hood, which when seen through the attached clear-red weapons (or similar plastic device) reveals... an Autobot symbol. Woo.
His legs are backwards again.
Despite being a store-exclusive, the 3-pack containing this figure absolutely choked Target store shelves thanks to their inability to sell, and were still available in plentiful numbers two years after the film's release.


Titan Changers

[edit]
His chest is Doctor Pac Man's face. Unsee that.
  • Bumblebee (Titan Changers, 2017)
Titan Changer Bumblebee is an all-new mold, and the first Movie Bumblebee toy to receive a Titan Changer treatment along with Optimus Prime. Compared to most Titan Changers, Bumblebee's transformation scheme is very simplistic, with his entire robot mode hidden underneath the vehicle mode.


Allspark Tech

Rescue Bots: A Michael Bay film.
  • Bumblebee (Allspark Tech, 2017)
Allspark Tech Bumblebee transforms from a Rescue Bots-styled robot into a deformed Concept Camaro and back. His chest also features a cavity for the electronic Allspark Cube, which gives him different sound effects for his robot & vehicle modes.


Legion Class toys

[edit]

As bees die off in the real world, these Bees are doing just fine!
  • Bumblebee (Legion Class, 2017)
The Last Knight Legion Class Bumblebee is a redeco of the Cyberverse Bumblebee figure, featuring vehicle detailing based on the 2017 Concept Camaro. For some reason, the rest of his window paint apps are omitted.
The figure's instruction sheet erroneously shows the images and the manual of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class toy.
In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of The Last Knight Legion Class figures that massively shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased The Last Knight toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt. Bumblebee is one of the four.


  • Autobot Hot Rod & Bumblebee (Legion Class 2-pack, 2017)
This Bumblebee is a slight redeco of the toy above. While the paint mask is identical to the toy above, The other deco changes are the front window, which was replaced with light blue, and the black paint on the hip section is removed.
This figure was only available in a two-pack with Hot Rod, under the Autobots Unite subline imprint. This set was intended to be exclusive to Walmart stores in the United States, but although it was stocked by the Walmart US online store, it supposedly never actually made it to brick and mortar Walmart stores, instead ending up at US discount retailers, primarily Ross stores. Internationally, it was available in Hong Kong (possibly as a non-exclusive general retail release), at Walmart's subsidiary Asda in the United Kingdom, as a Prisma exclusive in Finland, and as a Walmart exclusive in Mexico. It was also listed at the websites of Dutch retailers Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company), but again, it's unsure if it was ever actually released in the Netherlands.


  • Bumblebee & Megatron (Legion Class 2-pack, 2017)
Available with Megatron, Bumblebee is yet another redeco of the Cyberverse Legion Class figure, now sporting different paint apps. He also features several Cyberglyphics on his black stripes. Unlike the two Legion Class figures above, he finally sports paint applications on all of the windows. His cyberglyphs on his arms & both sides of his hood spell "BEE". Like most of the Mission to Cybertron figures, he and Megatron come with a collector card with cyberglyphs on one side with the reverse featuring a piece for the 6-part poster.
His robot mode prototype photo is flipped, including the one shown in the packaging.


Premier Edition

[edit]

You probably thought that I would appear like this in the beginning just like the previous flick.
  • Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2017)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: TLK-01
    • TakaraTomy release date: 04-29, 2017
    • Accessories: Two throwing stars
Released as part of the Premier Edition subline, this Bumblebee is a redeco of the Generations Age of Extinction Bumblebee figure, transforming into a 2017 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept with the deco of the 2017 Camaro, while the robot mode's deco vaguely evokes his current appearance.
"I'll change my paint job so I can fool everyone that I changed into a new car!"
Bumblebee was re-released in the second wave of the Premier Edition Deluxe line, and now features a black section on the car roof & the rear section of the vehicle shell. The easiest way to identify the variant is by looking at the bottom rear piece while the figure is in-package, as the black paint can be seen through the clear plastic. This variant also applies to the TakaraTomy release of the figure. Due to this, the initial variant became less common.
TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's Burning Megatron.


  • Bumblebee (Toys R'Us "Midnight Madness" exclusive, Deluxe Class, 2017)
    • Accessories: Two throwing stars
Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in an Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Bumblebee, released under the Premier Edition subline, is the deluxe figure above, which is a redeco of Age of Extinction Generations Bumblebee, but with battle damage paint all over it. In some countries like Malaysia, Bumblebee can be obtained by buying some The Last Knight and any other Transformers-related items in a fairly expensive price (RM350), and he will be given away individually, or along with Prime if you buy products equal to a more expensive price (RM700). This giveaway event was available from 12 May till 11 June 2017 and was available again on 30th June till 30th July.
Apart from the weathering, this Bumblebee uses the painted rear vehicle shell variant.


"You already bought the repaint? Too bad, because you have to buy me again!"
  • Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2017)
    • TakaraTomy name: New Bumblebee
    • TakaraTomy ID number: TLK-22
    • TakaraTomy release date: 09-16, 2017
    • Accessories: Detachable Stinger Blaster
This Deluxe Class Bumblebee transforms from a robot based on his appearance in The Last Knight into a 2017 Concept Camaro. He also comes with a "Stinger Blaster" arm cannon, which replaces his left arm, or stores underneath his robot mode back. The arm can also be wielded as a handgun via its 5 mm post.
On many copies of this toy, the pegs securing the feet come undone easily, making the feet really floppy, while some parts like the "wings" are prone to becoming detached. Despite what the instructions say, the left arm should be pulled sideways out of the joint instead of down to prevent breakage of the connection. In several occasions, the only way to secure the feet's pegs is by pressing the pieces together firmly. (Make sure the pieces are properly adjusted.)
The TakaraTomy stock photo of the robot mode has the waist kibble slightly mistranformed.
This mold was also slightly retooled (changing the replacable gun arm from the left to the right arm) into Movie the Best War Hammer Bumblebee and was used to make Studio Series Bumblebee.


Turbo Change Series

[edit]
  • Bumblebee (April 21, 2018)
    • ID number: TC-05
Turbo Change Series Bumblebee is essentially a re-release of the Turbo Changer figure with new packaging. Like most of the wave's Turbo Changers, Bumblebee's pin on the leg is most likely to be restored for activating the second Battle Command Optimus Prime toy's gimmicks.
In 2019, the toy was given away free for the school kids who attended the ”The World Of Transformers” Exhibition held at the Parco Museum in Ikebukuro from March 15th to Monday, April 1st, 2019.


Yup, called it.
  • Battle Command Optimus Prime - Strongest Commander Set (2018)
    • TakaraTomy ID Number: TC-09
    • TakaraTomy release date: October 27, 2018
Released as part of the re-issued Optimus Prime set, this Turbo Change Series Bumblebee is a redeco of the One-Step Changer High Octane figure in his usual yellow livery, and ironically; the first ever yellow repaint of the black vehicle.


Hope my Generation 1-ish body can convince them to buy One-steppers again!

    • TakaraTomy ID number: TC-16
    • TakaraTomy release date: December 27, 2018

    • TakaraTomy ID number: TCM-01

Tribute

[edit]

  • Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack (Deluxe Class multi pack, 2017)
    • TakaraTomy ID number: TLK-EX
    • TakaraTomy release date: 09-30, 2017
    • Accessories: 2 projectiles (1977 Camaro Bumblebee), Missile (1967 Camaro Bumblebee), Detachable Arm Cannon (2016 Camaro Bumblebee)
Transformers Tribute Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack consists of redecos of the first Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the 2007 Movie, High Octane Bumblebee from Age of Extinction, and the most recent, second Premier Edition Bumblebee figure. The 3-pack features particularly unique packaging, modeled after a garage, complete with graffiti.
For the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee figure, he uses the opaque windows from the Hasbro release and the fixed Automorph gimmick from the Towed to Safety and the Evolution of a Hero 2-packs. Paint operations on this Bumblebee are minimized compared to his original release, omitting the battle damage on the vehicle mode and some smaller details of his robot mode such as the blue stripes on his thighs and parts of his face. The Automorph button does not use the painted stripes from the Evolution of a Hero 2-pack.
The 1967 Camaro Bumblebee figure keeps the paint layout of its original "High Octane" release, but features several plastic color differences: The yellow parts are changed from a darker, more orange-y tone to the same lighter shade of yellow plastic shared among all the figures in this set, with the yellow paint operations and tampographs in vehicle mode changed accordingly, all the charcoal-colored parts are replaced by black plastic, the missile (and all of the unpaintable plastic joints) is changed from black to yellow, the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone, and the fully transparent windows are now a slightly tinted translucent plastic.
The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure also features smoky translucent plastic in his windows as opposed to the original's entirely transparent ones. The Hasbro stock photo for his robot mode still depicts him holding his arm cannon as a gun. This also applies to Takara's secondary stock photos. Speaking of Takara, his vehicle mode roof is also slightly mistransformed.
The set also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.
"I might have been cleaning myself a bit too much on the face."
No yellow redeco? You failed us again, HasTak!
I have slightly smoked windows. Buy me again!
