- Volks (Optimus, 1985)
- A redeco of the Mini Vehicle Bumblebee, Volks transforms into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was released only in Brazil by Estrela, and was available in two different color schemes: orange or red. He also has a new "Optimus" faction sigil decal in robot mode.
- All of the "Optimus/Malignus" Mini Vehicle releases are considered fairly rare, and go for a fairly high price on the secondary market, particularly the secondary color schemes; though considering the second Volks is red, a color Bumblebee was also available in domestically, that version isn't in particularly high demand.

Notes
[edit]- The toys from the Brazilian sub-series commonly referred to as "Optimus vs. Malignus" do not have bios, but share the same names and molds as previous (factionless) Brazilian releases that used the same bios as their Hasbro counterparts, only in Portuguese. As such, it's possible that Volks is the character Bumblebee outright and thus this wiki page does not merit its own status.
- A Transformers Animated character model was created for Volks, with a head based on the G1 Bumblebee toy, but not apparently used in the broadcast shows—although some have confused him with Furão, whose name was taken from Bumblebee's name in the Brazilian adaption of the Marvel comic, and whose head was based on G1 Bumblebee's character model.
