| The name or term "Bumblebee" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bumblebee (disambiguation). |
B-127 works in waste management in the lower levels of Iacon, and has done so for a long time. So long, in fact, that he hasn't spoken to anyone else in a while, and the isolation's kind of getting to him—he's built himself a group of imaginary friends to keep him company, and he talks way, way too much to fill the silence. Even when he's unconscious. Especially when he's unconscious.
His name is kind of clunky, so he's been trying out a few nicknames, like Badassatron;[1] for the most part, people just call him B.
Maybe he'll figure out something better eventually.
Fiction
One film
- Voice actor: Keegan-Michael Key (English), Ryōhei Kimura (Japanese), Dennis Schmidt-Foß (German, first trailer), Phil Laude (German, second trailer), Philippe Lacheau (European French), Julien Allouf (European French, first trailer), Patrick Emmanuel Abellard (Canadian French), Juca Viapri (Latin-American Spanish), Idzi Dutkiewicz Sánchez (Latin American-Spanish, first trailer), David Jenner (Spain Spanish), Andrea Lavagnino (Italian), Juha Viitala (Finnish)
Toys
One
- Bumblebee/B-127 (Mega Changers, 2024)
- Released as part of the rebranded "Mega Changers" assortment for the Transformers One toyline, this 12-inch Bumblebee figure transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian car.
- Bumblebee/B-127 (2-in-1 Mask, 2024)
- The wearable transforming mask from Rise of the Beasts was repackaged for One with no known changes.
- Bumblebee/B-127 (Cog Changers, 2024)
- Released as part of the first wave of Transformers One Cog Changers, Bumblebee transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian car by flipping it like a switchblade. Bumblebee/B-127 also features a slide-up Cog-shaped panel located on his chest. Unlike previous One Step Changers, Bumblebee lacks any robot mode articulation beyond waggling his free-moving arms side to side.
- For Japanese buyers, Bumblebee is also available for purchase as a set with Deluxe Class (Prime Changers) Optimus Prime in TakaraTomy Mall.
- Bumblebee/B-127 (Robot Battlers, 2024)
- Accessories: Energon sword, base
- Bumblebee transforms from robot to Cybertronian car in only 3 steps and includes an Energon sword. The figure can be placed on a base to perform action moves by sliding the finger slots, to knock an opponent's figure off of their base.
- Battle of the Heroes (Cybertron Rush Battle 3-pack, 2024)
- The Robot Battlers B-127 is released in Japan as part of the "Cybertron Rush Battle" 3-packs with Sentinel Prime and Alpha Trion.
- Energon Glow Bumblebee (Energon Glow, 2024)
- Released as a Walmart exclusive in the United States and a few other select retailers across different regions, Energon Glow Bumblebee is an approximately Deluxe-sized toy, albeit slightly larger than his below Prime Changers version. He also features simpler engineering, with a big portion of the toy's budget being instead dedicated to a light-up chest gimmick activated by pressing his stomach. His arm blade and blaster can be used on either arm and combined to store on his robot back/vehicle roof.
- His paintjob is noticeably more gold-leaning (and in turn, more screen-accurate) than most other Bumblebees in the Transformers One mainline. Keeping in line with the "Energon Glow" theme of the figure, his wheels, lower arms, and car roof are all molded in transparent blue plastic.
- Bumblebee/B-127 (Prime Changers, 2024)
- Released as part of the Prime Changers line, Bumblebee transforms from a robot to Cybertronian sports car in 15 steps. His chest plate can be removed to reveal a non-removable transformation cog. The blaster only attaches to his left hand, and the arm blade only to right unless combined with the blaster. The combined form is used to store the accessories on his robot back and vehicle roof, though they can also be attached individually if you want one equipped but not the other. Due to his particular conversion scheme, he can replicate the "car with arms" form he took while attempting to transform for the first time. He has a 3mm flight stand port on his backside, only accessible in robot mode.
- His dark gunmetal, bright silver, and slate blue paint applications use glittery paint, while his plastic is pearlescent.
- While he appears to have a design flaw preventing his ankle tilts from working, this appears to actually be intentional. The tilt is necessary to lock his feet into position in vehicle mode, but due to the squared off socket for the joint pin, the feet become mostly locked in place in robot mode.
- Bee is the odd man out of the Prime Changers, being the only one who isn't roughly in scale with the rest. While having roughly the same mass as the other figures, his head, feet, and legs are about half again as big due to him basically being stretched to match their size.

Merchandise
Transformers One
- B-127 (2024)
- A children's product based off his appearance in the One film, the B-127 costume is comprised of a bodysuit and mask.
Blokees
- B-127 (2024)
- Series: Galaxy Version 05 - One
- Accessories: 2 open hands, pistol, spare peg-and-ball piece, stand
- Blokees B-127 is a 4.25 inch tall non-transforming buildable figure based on his cogless appearance early in the film. He appears once in every case of nine blind boxes. As with the rest of his wave, B features an upgraded suite of standard body parts, with sturdier hinge joints and slightly more complex builds than their Generation 1 counterparts.
- B-127 includes the usual pairs of gripping fists and open hands, a laser pistol, and a two-studded connectable figure stand.
Notes
- Of all the main cast of Transformers One, Bumblebee has the greatest connection to his live-action film series counterpart: his name being given as "B-127" is taken from Bumblebee, and his helmet design (with its large "cheeks" and movable "antennae") bears resemblance to his appearance in that film; additionally, his overly-talkative nature is a meta-gag about his "future" self being best known for not being able to speak. Conversely, his battle mask resembles his Generation 1 counterpart's original toy.
- Despite the name being an alias used on most promotional material and toys, Bumblebee is never referred to as such in the film itself, presumably to avoid confusing audiences who already saw him receive that name on-screen.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Bumblebee (バンブルビー Banburubī)
