	'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''''' is a ''very confusing'' toyline with a focus that has shifted over time. [[Exclusive]] to [[Target]] in the United States and [[Toys"R"Us]] in Canada, it was initially a cross-toyline [[subline imprint]] that focused on various incarnations of everybody's favourite yellow Autobot, [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)\|Bumblebee]]. Toys from this line began appearing both in stock at online retailers and on store shelves in late [[2020]] and early [[2021]], while [[Hasbro]] never officially announced the line properly. With vibrant yellow packaging like the previous ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)\|Transformers: Bumblebee]]'' toyline, and package art prominently featuring [[Evergreen]] [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]], ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' centered around versions of Bumblebee from across the brand's history, as well as his human allies and Cybertronian foes.

	In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise ~~unreleated~~ [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)\|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.		In 2022, the line began to diversify ''considerably'', with the product output of figures that ''weren't'' Bumblebee or even Bumblebee-associated outnumbering those that were by a large margin, due to otherwise unrelated [[redeco]]s of figures from the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Legacy (toyline)\|Legacy]]'' lines utilizing the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding simply ''because''. 2022 was also when Hasbro actually bothered to officially acknowledge and announce these redecos in advance.

	As of early 2024, the line's future is... uncertain. In 2023, a few items were canceled, and a ''lot'' of ''Buzzworthy'' product ended up in clearance outlets for the holiday season. As of mid-2024, no new ''Buzzworthy'' product has been seen or announced since October 2023, but other Target-exclusive products that would nominally fall under the branding have been revealed, and they're main-line-branded. So it's not looking good.		As of early 2024, the line's future is... uncertain.
