The Transformers: Bumblebee is a 4-issue limited series published by IDW Publishing from 2009–2010 and set in the main IDW continuity.
The miniseries serves as sort of a maxi-Spotlight for Bumblebee and runs concurrently with the new ongoing series. The events follow the All Hail Megatron maxiseries, among other things.

Overview
Although Bumblebee was elected as Autobot leader, he gets little respect, as Autobots strike out on their own or disrespect his authority. A rogue faction within Skywatch contacts the Autobots and sets up a meeting with Bumblebee to enlist the Autobots' help in capturing Decepticons. Bumblebee agrees and the bots are fitted with special badges to cloak them from the main Skywatch force, but when the Colonel orders the capture of Blurr and resentment ensues, the Autobots learn that the badges also have the ability to immobilize them.
Creative team
Transformers: Bumblebee is written by Zander Cannon and illustrated by Chee Yang Ong, who both worked on stories in All Hail Megatron Coda. Moose Baumann provides colors. Guido Guidi and Josh Burcham team up to provide alternate covers.
Notes
- The events of the miniseries take place between issues 3 and 5 of the ongoing title.
