| The name or term "Bumblebee" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bumblebee (disambiguation). |
- Bumblebee is an Autobot from Cyberworld.
Bumblebee is Optimus Prime's closest ally and Player Two in the challenging landscape of Cyberworld. A little cocky and prone to pratfalls and bad luck, he is still not one to underestimate.
Fiction
Cyberworld cartoon
- Voice actor: Kyle Kaczmarczyk (English), Idzi Dutkiewicz Sánchez (Latin-American Spanish), Gary Fossier-Renna (French)
Crash-landing on Cyberworld in an escape pod, Bumblebee was greeted by Megatron Commence Program, who filled him in on the basics of survival on Cyberworld. The two of them took part in a "Target Blaster" challenge, and while Megatron seemed to be winning by smashing all but one target by himself, Bumblebee was awarded the win (and the all-important energon) because he followed the rules and shot the target with the blaster provided. This earned him a blast from Megatron's Fusion cannon, but in his prone state, he was found by Optimus Prime. Prime Target He joined Optimus in scouting out the Autobot Shuttle guarded by Scorponok, before competing with Grimlock and Snarl for a crate drop. After a scuffle in a mud pit, they were able to scale a mountain and claim the crate, with Bumbleee getting a blaster of his own. This gave them enough strength and firepower to drive off the Dinobots. Crate Point, Well Fought While walking in the jungle, Bumblebee failed to do a cool jump, and was then brained by an energy tunnel hosting a competition between Elita-1 and Sky-Byte. He and Optimus intervened in the challenge by shattering open the tunnel, which punished Elita-1 for their meddling by awarding the win to Sky-Byte, who then tried to take out Elita-1. They helped her drive him off, and Elita-1 offered to assist them in getting a weapon strong enough to surpass Scorponok, if they would help her get revenge on Sky-Byte. River Race Ruckus
Elita-1 helped them sneak into Cyber City, where he found a new jetpack (hooray!)only to be accosted by Sky-Byte and Mirage (booooo), who revealed they had been hired by Megatron to stop them, and also that his new jet pack was a phoney illusion (double boooo). He fought off the Mirage holograms, giving chase to the bot himself when tried to flee, even as further holograms taunted him about how he was weak and needed Optimus to protect him. When he caught up with Mirage, he let slip that they had a plan to escape Cyberworld with an Autobot shuttle, and didn't seem to notice when that completely changed Mirage's demeanour, instead knocking him off a building. He met back up with Optimus and Elita, and while chasing a fleeing Sky-Byte, then ran into an injured Mirage. Smoke & Mirrors The group snuck through the city and fought their way into a computer terminal, only to be cut off by the city's ruler, Starscream. They tried to flee, but he cornered them in an alleyway, which spawned a mission. The goal was to be the last bot standing on a large levitating platform. Bumblebee helped Elita-1 gain an upgrade, but she and Mirage were still eliminated. Unable to catch Starscream in the air, he and Prime pretended to fight to lure Starscream in close, only for Optimus to grab him and throw them both off the edge. As the winner, Bee was rewarded with energon and an upgrade to his blaster. Screamer City Arena
Tracking down Grimlock via following Snarl, the trio of Autobots were captured in a net. Bumblebee was especially disturbed to find out Snarl had been recording everything over the last few days. When Optimus freed them and challenged Grimlock to a 1-on-1 mission challenge, Bumblebee joined Elita-1 and Snarl in commenting on the pair's strategies until Optimus Prime won. Hunter vs Hunted With Grimlock recruited, they attempted to find more energon, only to be met by Megatron. Bumblebee sat out the mission module, watching with horror as Megatron knocked his comrades down and took the win alongside Mirage and Chop Shop, but this meant he was spared the resulting drain of energon for losing. Afterwards, Optimus told him that they would be relying on him for the upcoming fight with Scorponok, which didn't exactly enthuse him. What Goes Up
Toys
Cyberworld
- Bumblebee (Armored Cyber Changer, 2025)
- Environment: City
- Accessories: Blaster cannon, 2 blades
- Released in the first wave of Cyberworld Armored Cyber Changers, Bumblebee stands about four inches tall and converts into a muscle car in two steps. Like the standard Cyber Changer figures, he has simple articulation, limited to the shoulders, hips, and knees. In addition to the 5 mm-compatible hands, he has ports on the car doors, roof, and hood, but no port for a flight stand like some of the other figures.
- As an "Armored" figure he also comes with a rather impractical blaster weapon, which flips down two gear-driven side-blades when the gun barrel is pushed in. The blades are attached to 5 mm posts, and have their own posts to allow them to be detached and wielded individually.
- Bumblebee shares his transformation scheme with his Cyber Changer toy below, Cyber Changer Wheeljack and Armored Cyber Changer Optimus Prime. It's not precisely clear what part you're supposed to move to get the torso autotransformation started; you might find it easier getting to robot mode if you untab the legs from the roof first, before pushing down on the hood.
- His two smaller side windows are left unpainted, but he has painted tail-lights!
- Bumblebee (Cyber Changer, 2025)
- Environment: Desert
- Released in the second wave of standard Cyberworld Cyber Changers, this Bumblebee is also a four-inch figure, converting into an offroad car in two steps using the same transformation scheme. Bumblebee also appears to be an interesting mishmash of previous Bumblebee designs. His face is inspired by Prime Bumblebee with elements of that characters Universe design, shares a vehicle mode with Reactivate Bumblebee, and has arms shaped like One Bumblebee. Very interesting.
