			:Part of the thirty-second wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxes, Bumblebee is a new mold figure accurate to the character's appearance in ''Age of Extinction'', transforming into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro. While he does not come with the shurikens of the previous figures of this design, he does come with his usual blaster which pegs into his arm.

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

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

	:''[[~~The~~ Transformers: Masterpiece\|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of Battle Ops Bumblebee.

Among other notable plastic color changes, the [[TakaraTomy]] version features a clear colorless right hand (instead of translucent blue).

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

	:This redeco of Deluxe class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[trans-scan]]ning his vehicle mode. As such, nearly all of his vehicle mode parts (and thus, most of his robot mode) are cast in translucent clear plastic, with the rear of his vehicle mode being left unpainted, the middle having painted scan lines, and the front having a heavy amount of [[paint operation]]s in order to cover the clear plastic.		:This redeco of Deluxe class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]'s Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[trans-scan]]ning his vehicle mode.

	:Based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie and the pre-credits scene in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, this Speed Series Bumblebee now transforms into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro. The figure's proportions and sculpted detail are significantly improved compared to his [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys\|first Legends Class figure]], though the new transformation leaves him with a faux chest and no trademark door-wings. His vehicle mode is largely unpainted, save for a single black paint app for the windshield and hood stripes. The black unpaintable patches on the car roof evoke roof stripes... even though this vehicle mode never ''had'' that detailing. He also features pinned wheels instead of the simple-assembly ones. In a surprisingly near-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot Insignia is sculpted on his fake chest. He shares a similar transformation scheme with ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Legion Class [[Sideswipe (RID)#Legion Class\|Sideswipe]].		:Based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie and the pre-credits scene in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, this Speed Series Bumblebee now transforms into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro.

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