Ladybug(NAME WITHDRAWN) is a redeco and retool of the same line's Bumblebee with a new head more accurate to Bumblebee's original toy. As with all AMK Mini model kits,Ladybug(NAME WITHDRAWN) must be completed by snapping the pre-painted pieces together, and comes with two additional pairs of hands. She also comes with a gun accessory. However, after being announced, a notice went out that the toy would now be sold as a new version of Cliffjumper, because Hasbro saw an earlier edit of this very page and thought the mention of "unofficial" referred not to BotCon 2025 but to the character, which led them to prefer the use of an established character instead.
- This version of the mold was also used to make Glyph at the same convention.
Notes
Ladybug(NAME WITHDRAWN) is based on the red variant of the 1983 Micro Change MC-04 Mini Car Robo 03 Volkswagen, sold in the original Transformers toyline as Bumblebee. In the years since, Bumblebee has near-universally been represented by the yellow variant of the same toy, but in 2015, The Transformers: Masterpiece paid homage to the red version by releasing "Bumble Red Body".Ladybug(NAME WITHDRAWN) 's Yolopark toy was conceived entirely out of a desire for a second use of the new headsculpt created for Glyph. The color red was chosen as an obvious homage to the aforementioned red variant of Bumblebee, which then led to the name "Ladybug(NAME WITHDRAWN)" being picked as the most obvious choice for a "red bug".[1] Once the color and name were selected, then came the decision to make the toy a Decepticon and female.[2]- Beyond ladybugs being red beetles, the local translation "coccinelle" is a common nickname for the Volkswagen Beetle in France.

Red was the obvious choice and then when names were tossed around, Ladybug was just as obvious. A red VW Bug. Ladybug."—@BotCon, Twitter, 2025/6/6
