Bumblebee (WFC)/toys
From MediaWiki
Bumblebee is a popular bot with lots of toys and more coming!
Toys
Generations
- Cybertronian Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2010)
- Accessories: Handgun
- Part of the first wave of Generations Deluxe Class toys, War for Cybertron Cybertronian Bumblebee transforms from a yellow and black robot into a "Cybertronian courier mode". His toy comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun is held via 5mm post, and can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Bumblebee's head appears to have light-piping, but his eyes are painted over in blue, thus rendering the gimmick neutered. His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.
- He and Cybertronian Optimus Prime shipped ahead of their two other wavemates in the United States via Toys"R"Us.
- This mold was redecoed into United Bumblebee Cybertron Mode, as well as retooled into Generations/War for Cybertron Cliffjumper and United Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode. In fact, Bumblebee's instructions depict him with Cliffjumper's head, revealing the retool before it was officially announced.
Rescue Bots
- Bumblebee (2011)
- Bumblebee transforms into a yellow muscle car which presumably can be used by the humans in the rescue team to speed to problem sites, while staying within the speed limit, of course. Tugging either end of the vehicle will autotransform him back into robot mode.
- Bumblebee Rescue Garage (Playset, 2011)
- Accessories: Bumblebee, Axel Frazier
- The Bumblebee Rescue Garage comes with a smaller Bumblebee toy not unlike an RPM or Speed Stars toy in function. Standing the vehicle on end reveals Bumblebee's robot mode embossed on its underside. The back of Bumblebee's car mode also has a cavity in which the included Axel Frazier figure can ride.
Transformers (2010)
- Rage over Cybertron (Multipack, 2011)
- Accessories: Handgun
- Transformers Cybertronian Bumblebee is a Toys"R"Us-exclusive redeco of Generations Cybertronian Bumblebee, with most of the original version's black plastic changed to gray, clear blue headlights and rims, red tint for the windows, most of the red paint details changed to blue, and additional blue circuitry paint details resembling the "overshield" effect from the War for Cybertron game. He was only available in a three-pack with redecos of Cybertronian Optimus Prime and Cybertronian Megatron.
Prime: First Edition
- Bumblebee and Arcee, Includes Raf Esquivel and Jack Darby (NYCC 2011 exclusive)
- Accessories: Arm-mounted twin-cannon
- Bumblebee is an orange-ish redeco of First Edition Bumblebee (see below) as a New York taxicab and comes with a pink Arcee and NY-themed Jack Darby and Raf Esquivel figurines. They were sold exclusively at New York Comic Con 2011.
- Bumblebee ("First Edition" Deluxe Class, 2011)
- Number: 001
- Accessories: Arm-mounted twin-cannon, stand
- Part of the first wave of Prime: First Edition figures, this Deluxe-sized incarnation of Bumblebee transforms into a yellow Urbana 500 muscle car. An arm-mounted blaster can be pegged via 5mm peg into either of his forearms or stowed underneath the vehicle mode. As with other "First Edition" Prime figures, he comes with a cardboard display stand which sits at the bottom of the packaging.
Cyberverse Series 2
- Bumblebee (Cyberverse Legion, 2012)
- Series / Number: 2 / 001
- Japanese release date: March 21, 2012
- Japanese ID number: EZ-04
- Accessories: Blaster
- Part of the first wave of Prime Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Bumblebee transforms into an Urbana 500 muscle car. He features numerous 3mm ports for mounting Cyberverse weapons, such as on his hands, doors/arms, and roof/back.
- He comes with a blaster (modeled after his in-show cannon) that features two 3mm posts and a port, and is cast in soft translucent red plastic. This weapon, in a variety of colors, is also used by Cyberverse Arcee, Evac, Hyperspeed Wheeljack, Autobot Tailgate, the redeco of Bumblebee that comes with the Bumblebee Battle Suit (see below) and 2014 Transformers Protectobot Groove.
- Some units had the blaster molded significantly more flexible (and also more creamy and less translucent) plastic.
- Quickblade Bumblebee (Cyberverse Legion, 2012)
- Series / Number: 2 / 011
- Accessories: Combat blade
- Part of the third wave of Prime Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Quickblade Bumblebee is a redeco of Legion Class Bumblebee in black with yellow stripes, loosely resembling the deco he later assumes in Season 3 of Transformers: Prime. He comes with a "combat blade", a soft translucent-green blade weapon that can mount/be held via any of its four 3mm pegs. In varying colors, it was used by Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Knock Out, and Dark of the Moon Mirage.
- Bumblebee Battle Suit (Cyberverse Vehicle, 2012)
- Series / Number: 2 / 003
- Accessories: Large missile-firing blaster, missile, small double-barreled blaster
- Part of the second wave of Prime Cyberverse Vehicle playsets, the Bumblebee Battle Suit comes with a redeco of Legion Class Bumblebee, who features brighter, paler yellow plastic, trades in his black stripes for sparkly dark-blue, replaces his silver-painted windshields with metallic light-blue, switches the silver on his abdomen and shins with metallic dark-blue, replaces the black grill with silver, omits the stripe portions at the center of the hood, and removes the silver on his feet. In addition to the suit's other accessories, Bumblebee still comes with his double-barreled blaster, with the color changed from translucent red to translucent light blue.
- Autobot Set (EZ Collection 6-pack, 11-24-2012)
- ID number: EZ-SP1
- Accessories: Blaster
- Available for this set, this version of Bumblebee replaces his yellow plastic with a darker shade of metallic yellow. He was released as a six-pack along with Ratchet, Bulkhead, Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Wheeljack.
Prime
- Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2012)
- Series / Number: 1 / 001
- Japanese release date: March 31, 2012
- Japanese ID number: AM-02
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters (Hasbro only), "B.2" Arms Micron (Takara only)
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased posability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car mode front section is geared together, so when the robot mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster-weapons are now included, which use 5mm posts and holes to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the instructions are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof actually features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into Hot Shot.
- In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the Prime episode "Loose Cannons".
- The TakaraTomy version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of Prime toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new Arms Micron system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead coming with the Arms Micron B.2, who transforms into an over-sized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His paint operations have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof and rear window-frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill-parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil stickers. (This actually allows for more show-accurate stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The instructions tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will destroy the stickers.
- Shadow Strike Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2012)
- Series / Number: 1 / 011
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters
- Part of the fourth wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, Shadow Strike Bumblebee is a redeco of "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Class Bumblebee, and is cast in gray, yellow, and translucent blue plastic. He features new yellow stripe patterns and deco, with some gray and black paint details here and there.
- Terrorcon Bumblebee (Deluxe, 8-10-2012)
- Accessories: "Terrorcon Zori" Arms Micron
- Meant to represent Bumblebee turned into a vicious monster after being infused with Dark Energon, "Terrorcon Bumblebee" is the Arms Micron Bee molding done in black, gray and clear-purple. Rather than his nominal Arms Micron partner, B.2, he instead comes with Terrorcon Zori, a clear-purple version of Soundwave's Micron partner. This set was available as an AEON stores exclusive in Japan.
- Bumblebee (Dark Energon Series Deluxe, 2012)
- Number: 001
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters
- Another Dark-Energon-infused iteration of Bumblebee, but still an Autobot and apparently not a brutal killing machine, Prime: Dark Energon Bumblebee is a BigBadToyStore-exclusive redeco of "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Class Bumblebee, and is cast in translucent glittery-gold and opaque blue plastics as an homage to Generation 1 Goldbug.
- Though he was packaged on an individual card, he was initially sold as part of a set with the Dark Energon versions of Knock Out, Starscream, and Wheeljack. He was eventually made available on his own, and the Dark Energon Series toys were eventually made available in Singapore as mass-retail releases.
- Remote Controlled Bumblebee (2012)
- Accessories: Remote control
- An electronic Bumblebee, operable by remote control. As well as driving around, the remote control allows you to convert Bumblebee from car to robot and trigger his punching action.
- Bumblebee vs. Starscream: Ultimate Opponents (Entertainment Pack, 2012)
- Accessories: Arm-mounted weapon
- This Deluxe Class Bumblebee is a redeco of his First Edition release in a darker, more orange shade of yellow plastic, similar to the same mould's NYCC exclusive version. He features brighter silver highlights and an inexplicable recoloring of his racing stripes to an aqua blue, which fade back to their regular black halfway along his car mode.
- Bumblebee came packed-in with a redeco of First Edition Starscream, small unarticulated figurines of Silas and a MECH soldier, as well as a DVD containing the episodes Convoy, Sick Mind and Out of His Head. The two-pack was also available in Australian markets virtually unchanged, except the DVD was replaced with a booklet including short (and by that, we mean one sentence) bios as well as Tech Specs for most of the characters.
- Bumblebee (Weaponizer, 2012)
- Series / Number: 1 / 002
- Japanese release date: November 30, 2012
- Accessories: Blaster pistol (Hasbro & Takara), "B.2 A" Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified transformation scheme, more accurate proportions, and a grand total of four fake wheels on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.
- His main gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.
- His stock photography gives him a completely different vehicle deco compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer paint operations overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of unpaintable plastic, shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been significantly shrunk into what are essentially pinstripes.
- A running change variant of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.
- The Japanese release, dubbed Gatling Bumblebee, sports metallic gold paint on most of his yellow plastic, and some sliver details. He comes with a gray version of his Arms Micron, B.2.
Rescue Bots: Energize
- Bumblebee and Graham Burns (2-pack, 2013)
- Available in a two-pack with Graham Burns, Bumblebee is a non-transforming but articulated figure, appearing rather more show accurate than his previous Rescue Bots toys. His left hand is morphed into a blue jackhammer as part of the "Energize" theme.
- Bumblebee (2013)
- The same non-transforming figure was also available in a single pack, without Graham Burns.
- Bumblebee (2013)
- Accessories: Jackhammer
- Bumblebee's original Rescue Bots mold was retooled to add sockets onto his hood and released as part of the "Energize" line. He also features translucent blue plastic on his hood and doors, and has a jackhammer accessory made from the same plastic which plugs into the sockets on his hood.
- Bumblebee Rescue Repair Station (Playset, 2013)
- Accessories: Bumblebee, "rescue launcher", rescue missile
- The Bumblebee Rescue Repair Station is a "3D pop-up playset" that unfolds into a play area for Rescue Bots figures, and features a working "rescue hatch" and spring-loaded "rescue launcher". It is actually the Danger Room playset from Hasbro's Marvel Superhero Squad line in new colors, but does both retool out that playset's Sentinel head with a crane arm claw and include a new sticker sheet. It was released in international markets to no fanfare at some point in 2013, apparently being available in at least Latin America and South Korea (the latter being English packaging with a Korean sticker).
- The included Bumblebee is the same deco as the individual non-transforming figure.
- Electronic Bumblebee (2013)
- A larger non-transforming toy, Bumblebee features electronic lights and sounds. His right-hand is replaced by a "rescue drill" which oddly resembles Animated Bumblebee's stingers and which spins when you press a button on his right forearm.
Cyberverse Series 3
- Bumblebee (Cyberverse Legion, 2013)
- Series / Number: 3 / 004
- Accessories: Eagleshot Bow
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is a redeco and significant "retool" (in the loosest sense of the term; literally every single part except for his wheels and the shoulder joints is modified) of Legion Class Bumblebee, transforming into a heavily armed Urbana 500 muscle car with spikes covering the front wheels, sculpted missile launchers and boosters/blasters on the doors, armor panels at the rear, and a large version of his double-barreled blaster sculpted onto his hood, the barrels of which end up mounted on his chest/shoulders in robot mode. He sports various 3mm ports in the same places the original Legion Class toy did.
- He comes with the "Eagleshot Bow", a crossbow which has two 3mm ports and three posts, allowing it to mount/be mounted in different ways. This bow, in varying colors, was also used by Airachnid, Windrazor, and Rippersnapper.
- Energon Driller with Bumblebee (Cyberverse Vehicle, 2013)
- Series / Number: 3 / 003
- Accessories: Prod, saw, Eagleshot Bow, Energon Booster
- The only new product from the second wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse Vehicle playsets, the Energon Driller (a redeco of the Series 2 Driller stripped of its electronics) comes with a redeco of Legion Class Series 3 Bumblebee, who features an ever-so-slightly darker shade of yellow plastic, black instead of charcoal wheels and hip and shoulder joints, dark metallic blue instead of black paint details for his front bumper, windscreen, shins and forearms/vehicle mode doors, black instead of silver paint operations for the face and the double-barreled blaster on the hood, and less saturated blue paint operations for the eyes.
- He comes with blue redecos of the Series 2 Driller's prod and saw accessories, which were originally meant for Knock Out, as well as the Eagleshot Bow. The Energon Booster (originally part of the Series 2 Vehicles' light-up gimmick) is also included as a separate piece no longer connected to the Driller by a power cable, and can also be used by Bumblebee as a hand-held weapon.
- The Bumblebee Energon Driller was notoriously absent from US retail for many months after being available from online retailers and even appearing at retail in Hasbro's Asian and eventually European markets. It wasn't until much later that it finally became available through discount stores such as Ross, although there have also been sightings at Toys"R"Us Express, Hastings and Tuesday Morning stores.
Beast Hunters
- Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2013)
- Series / Number: 2 / 001
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters, Eagleshot Bow, 6 missiles
- Part of the first wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is a redeco and extensive retool of the Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class Bumblebee mold, transforming into a heavily-modified Urbana 500 muscle car that's covered in spikes. Bumblebee's roof has been retooled with an additional 5mm peg-hole, and the hinge joint at the rear windshield has been removed.
- He retains the two arm-mounted blasters, and now additionally comes with a larger-scale "Eagleshot Bow", a large, spring-loaded missile-launching bow, as well as six missiles. The missiles can slide in and store on brackets in various places, with two brackets located on top of the bow, and two rotating brackets located on each door. The prods on the sides of the bow can be opened manually, but are meant to open automatically when a missile is inserted into the launcher.
- His instructions include the first chapter of the Tales of the Beast Hunters series.
- Night Shadow Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2013)
- Series / Number: 2 / 015
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters, Eaglefire Bow, 6 missiles
- Part of the fifth wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Night Shadow Bumblebee is a redeco of his Beast Hunters toy, sporting a black and gold color scheme similar to his depiction in the third season of the Prime cartoon, but with additional teal and silver details. His bow has been redecoed into the "Eaglefire Bow", representing an upgraded version of his previous "Eagleshot Bow".
- His stock photos depict his hood/chest as being cast in a mixture of black and gold plastic, whereas the final product casts these parts just in black.
- His instructions include the twenty-third chapter of the Tales of the Beast Hunters series.
- Talking Bumblebee / SFX Bumblebee (Battlemaster Class, 2013)
- Accessories: Blaster pistol, bow
- Part of the only wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Battlemaster Class toys, "Talking Bumblebee" is a redeco/retool of his Robots in Disguise Weaponizer toy, sporting a black and yellow color scheme similar to his depiction in the third season of the Prime cartoon, as well as a new head-sculpt that features a mouth. He comes with a massive bow and features a talking gimmick (voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch!).
- The European release replaced the voice clips with various sound effects and was accordingly named "SFX Bumblebee".
- Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2014)
- Series / Number: 4 / 001
- Accessories: Sword
- Part of the first wave of 2014 Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is an enlarged
knockoffcopy of his Beast Hunters Cyberverse toy, though with minor detail differences to be more accurate as a Deluxe and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.
- Due to being released after the Christmas season and before the launching of the Age of Extinction toy line, Bumblebee and the other figures of his wave were ultimately only available in Europe and Hong Kong, in European packaging in both instances (an unusual occurrence for Hong Kong).
- His sword is reused for Takara's Movie Advanced Series Ratchet.
Predacons Rising
- Bumblebee & Blight (Legion 2-pack, 2013)
- Accessories: Eagleshot Bow
- For the Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising subline imprint, the Cyberverse series 3 Bumblebee sculpt was recolored in (vaguely) show-accurate black and yellow colors, similar to Deluxe Class Night Shadow Bumblebee. This version of Bumblebee was only available in a two-pack with Blight.
- As a second wave Predacons Rising release, this set was only available as a Target exclusive in the US (and not in Canada, Australia or Europe), and on top of that was by far the rarest and hardest to find of all Predacons Rising products. For some reason, it was stocked by various Japan-based import stores, though, thus making this the easiest (though not cheapest) way to obtain the two-pack. Like the Abominus giftset, this two-pack features no Cyberverse logo on its packaging.
- Nova Blast Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2013)
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters, Eagleshot Bow, 6 missiles
- Part of the "Predacons Rising" subline imprint, Nova Blast Bumblebee is a redeco of his Beast Hunters Deluxe Class toy that changes some black and yellow sections to blue, changes some paint operations, and adds light blue flames to the sides of his hood/chest.
- As a second wave Predacons Rising release, Nova Blast Bumblebee was only available as a Target exclusive in the United States (and not in Canada, Australia or Europe).
Construct-Bots
- Beast Hunters Bumblebee (Scout, 2014)

- Japanese ID number: G14
- Accessories: 2 arm-mounted blasters, "Needle Arrow" bow, 6 missiles
- Hunter Bumblebee is a redeco of the Beast Hunters Deluxe Bumblebee toy, released in TakaraTomy's Transformers Go! toyline. He's cast in a slightly more orange shade of yellow and has some minor differences in paint as well, such as shinier headlights and entirely black lines on his hood as opposed to the Beast Hunters toy's partially silver ones.
Rescue Bots Rescan
- Bumblebee and Scrapmaster (2-pack, 2014)
- Available with Scrapmaster, Bumblebee is a redeco of the "Energize" non-transforming figure (but is not branded as such) and features a color scheme reminiscent of his Prime: Beast Hunters form.

- Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Bumblebee features a spring-loaded transformation and transforms into a motorcycle.
- Raptor Bumblebee (Rescan, 2014)
- Part of the second wave of the Rescan series, Bumblebee now transforms into a very goofy-looking raptor dinosaur. Pressing his robot mode chest in raptor mode activates a chomping jaw action.
Robots in Disguise (2015)
Virtually every toy in this list has a scannable insignia sticker on it. For Hasbro releases, it temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, and can only be scanned once per day. TakaraTomy releases simply check that off on their mobile app's collection list. It's honestly quicker and less redundant to say which toys don't have this feature.
Legion Class
- Bumblebee (Legion Class, 2015)
- Part of the first wave of Robots in Disguise Legion figures, Bumblebee transforms into a (fictional) Griffin Motors 1995 Windblazer. In robot mode, his fists are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although he does not come with any himself.
- His scannable Autobot insignia is on his driver-side door in vehicle mode, becoming his right arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while he is still in-package.
- His instructions mention that Bumblebee's head needs to flip forward when transforming into vehicle mode, but this will make his vehicle mode slightly bumped up from the back. However this can be remedied by flipping his head underneath. Also, unlike the Warrior Class and the Three Step Changer figure, this Bumblebee does not feature a faux front car chest window.
- Bumblebee Clear Ver. (EZ Collection, 2015)

His scannable Autobot insignia is centered on his robot mode chestplate. The badge is still accessible while still in-package.

This set was exclusive to Target stores in the United States and to Toys"R"Us stores in Canada.
- Sideswipe, Steeljaw, Underbite, and Bumblebee's badges are all scannable in-package.
- Part of the eighth wave of Robots in Disguise One-Step Changers, this new mold of One Step Bumblebee features a transformation similar to Movie Drift's and Robots in Disguise (2015) Sideswipe's.

Although the badge is accessible while in-package, the badge was neutered by a thin rubber band, unless you want to take the toy out from the packaging.
- The TakaraTomy release of the toy, dubbed Quick Bumblebee, features extensive paint applications to resemble his cartoon counterpart's colors. He also features a different scannable Autobot insignia on his roof.

Warrior Class
- Bumblebee (Warrior Class, 2015)
- Part of the first wave of the Warrior Class figures, Bumblebee (again) transforms into a fictional Griffin Motors 1995 Windblazer. He includes a Decepticon Hunter sword accessory, which can be held via 5mm holes in his hands.
- His scannable Autobot insignia is centered on his chestplate. This badge is easily scannable while still in-package.
- His current stock photo is mistransformed: his back piece isn't folded down.

- Night Strike Bumblebee (Warrior Class, 2016)
- Accessories: Decepticon Hunter
- Night Strike Bumblebee is yet another redeco of Warrior Class Bumblebee, with his vehicle mode deco inspired by Animated Bumblebee...with a hint of flame tampographs. His tranparent blue plastic is now molded in smoke gray. Night Strike Bumblebee features light blue unpaintable plastic and paint applications, making it somehow similar to an Allspark Power figure.

Notes
Arms Up Modes
In the Japanese Prime toyline, Bumblebee has several powered-up modes when given various Arms Microns in certain configurations:
- Striker Mode (ストライカーモード Sutoraikā Mōdo)
- Arms Microns: B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
- The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.2 is mounted on his left arm, with R.A. on his right, while C.L. and O.P. take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).
- Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode (メチャウチバンバンモード Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo)
- Arms Microns: B.2, O.P., R.A.
- Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "Cybertron Satellite" segment from "Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis".
- Mecha Uchi Kidō Type (メチャウチ機動タイプ Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu)
- Arms Microns: B.2, C.L.
- Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.2 on one arm and C.L. on the other. Exciting. But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....
- Infection Mode (インフェックションモード Infuekkushon Mōdo)
- Arms Microns: B.2, Terrorcon Zori
- Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using Terrorcon Zori in his right hand, and B.2 in his left. Wooo.
