When another clone apparently woke up early, Bumblebee and Mirage accompanied Jhiaxus to greet the newly awakened Sideswipe, unaware it was actually the original Sideswipe in disguise. A Flash Forward, Part 5 After Jhiaxus's base was destroyed, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Mirage confronted the escaping Autobots, but Pyro talked them into returning to Earth with him.

• Bumblebee (Go-Bot, 1995)
  • Accessories: Rifle

The original Generation 1 Bumblebee's Generation 2 Go-Bot toy was officially repurposed as the next-generation Bumblebee clone.

Bumblebee's second release in the Generation 2 line was as a recolor of the Go-Bot High Beam, transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine. He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from Hot Wheels and Matchbox.

This mold was also used to make 2001 Robots in Disguise Crosswise and Nightracer.
