Bumblebee has a lot of merchandise.
Happy Meal Toy
- Bumblebee (1985)
- Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, Gears, and Brawn) comprised the very first line of Transformers Happy Meal toys, but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!
Transformers Milk Caramel
- Bumble (1985)
- A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a keshigomu— of Bumblebee was released as part of the first wave of Kabaya's earliest candy toy line, Transformers Milk Caramel. Based more on his toy than his animation model, Bumblebee came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in various colours, including white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange.
Transformers Choco
- Bumble (1985)
- A small solid-color, transforming snap-together model kit of Bumblebee was released as part of Kabaya's Transformers Choco line of candy toys.
Decoy
- Cybertron Hero Collection 9 (multi-pack, 1986)
- Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game (board game, 1986)
- Bumblebee was among the many characters rendered by Takara as part of their series of 1.5" keshigomu figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Bumblebee was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.
- Bumblebee (1987)
- Decoy number: 26
- The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the Decoy promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Aerialbots, Protectobots and Technobots.
Super Collection Figure
- Bumble (2001)
- Act: 3
- Accessories: Stand
- A 2-inch PVC of Bumblebee with his best human friend Spike was released in the third "Act" of Takara's Super Collection Figure series. He carries the tiny little pistol he had in the opening of "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1". The figure was available in both full color and clear plastic versions, one of each available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.
- In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Bumblebee came packaged with the torso of the Act's collectible "build-a-figure" Fortress Maximus. This part could also be either full-color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal 1:1 ratio.
- In one out of every ten cases (that didn't have a Fortress Maximus part), the clear version of Bumblebee was replaced with the battle-damaged Optimus Prime "Secret Figure".
Heroes of Cybertron
- Autobot Espionage Team (2003)
- The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron line, but since Hasbro didn't have the trademark on Bumblebee's name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the "Autobot Espionage Team". This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a light-piping gimmick.
- The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible Fortress Maximus "build-a-figure".
MyClone
- Bumble (2003)
- Japanese ID number: MTF010
- Accessories: Yellow display stand
- Known designers: Kazutami Yasuhiko (TakaraTomy)
- Released in the second wave of the MyClone line of Transformers PVC figures, this super deformed Bumblebee comes with a hexagonal yellow display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other MyClone figure.
Q-Robo Collection
- Bumble (2003)
- A super-deformed PVC of Bumblebee was released as part of theQ-Robo Collection Figure. Like all the figures in the series, it was sold blindpacked in a plastic capsule, featured articulation in the neck and shoulders, and was also available in a translucent red color scheme.
Generation 1 Figure-Collection
- Bumble (2003)
- Japanese ID number: C-4
- Accessories: Display base
- At only one inch in height, this Bumblebee "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers Generation 1 Figure-Collection. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.
History Collection
- Bumble (2004)
- Accessories: Display base
- Takara produced this PVC figurine of Bumblebee as part of their History Collection set. Despite its diminutive size, this two-piece full-color figure features articulated shoulders.
Hard Hero
- Bumblebee (mini-statue, 2004)
- Standing at seven inches tall, Hard Hero's Bumblebee cold cast porcelain mini-statue was limited to 1500 pieces and could link up with the company's previous Optimus Prime statue to form a small diorama. Notionally, he was supposed to be the "first in the Minibot series", though no more Minibot statues were produced.
- Bumblebee (metallic chrome exclusive, 2004)
- A metallic golden chrome version of Hard Hero's Bumblebee statue, in homage to the original toy's Generation 2 chrome redeco, was offered as an exclusive by Coalition Comics in December 2004, limited to only 250 pieces.
Gummy Candy
- Transformers Gummy Candy (2006)
- Large gummy candies resembling his Classics toy packaged in a blister bubble.
Titanium Series
- Bumblebee (Robot Master, 2006)
- Accessories: Gun, display stand
- Titanium Series Bumblebee is a small, 3-inch mostly-die-cast-metal statue of the little guy in a design that's surprisingly close to the original toy, with two wheels on each arm, a plate behind his head and sculpted details on his legs that are also based on the original toy. The only part where the cartoon model is given a preference is the head, including the face.
- Titanium Bumblebee has joints at the waist, neck and shoulders, plus a removable pistol. He even comes with a little Autobot-sigil display base.
- This sculpt would've been used to make Cliffjumper, but the Titanium line was canceled before that figure could be released.
"What?"
- Optimus Prime & Bumblebee (2-pack, 2007)
- Accessories: Gun, display stand
- A Toys 'R' Us exclusive two-pack, this set features "Supermetal Finish" (read: shiny) versions of the "Robot Master" Titaniums Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.
Palisades
- Bumblebee (mini-statue, 2006)
- Initially intended to be an exclusive for BotCon 2005, Palisades Toys' 4" Bumblebee mini-statue fell victim to a scheduling conflict and was instead released by NonStop Toys in 2006, with leftover stock also being allocated to Diamond Previews in some countries. This stock tended to have a cracked crotch, a common defect with this piece. One of the last four statues to come out of the Palisades Transformers range, Bumblebee was limited to 1000 pieces.
Diamond Select
- Bumblebee (statue, 2007)
- This six-inch tall mini-bust of Bumblebee was sculpted by Art Asylum and limited to 1000 pieces.
- Bumblebee Roto-Bank (money bank, 2009)
- Art Asylum also produced a Bumblebee money bank, equipped with poseable, rotating arms and head.
Robot Heroes
- Bumblebee & Soundwave (Two-pack, 2007)
- Known designers: Bill Rawley (Hasbro), Marcelo Matere (concept artist)
- Robot Heroes Bumblebee is another piece of absolute adorableness. A soft-plastic figurine that combines the cartoon and toy elements of the original Bumblebee with a "super-deformed" style, he is jointed at the neck and shoulders. He came in a two-pack with Soundwave.
- This mold was also used to make Robot Heroes Cliffjumper, of course.
- Bumblebee (Single-pack, 2008)
- In some countries outside of North America, Bumblebee was released individually in a blindpack with no notable changes.
Transformers (2007)
- Slumblebee (2007)
- Slumblebee is, as his name suggests, a plush Bumblebee toy based on his original Generation 1 form. Obviously he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. You can transform him into his car mode (which is totally not a Beetle, as far as Volkswagen can prove) by turning him inside out. Truly he is a new zenith of cuteness.
3D Battle-Card Game
- Classic Bumblebee (2007)
- A 22-point character in the 3D Battle-Card Game's "Energon Wars" expansion, "Classic" Bumblebee "transforms" into a yellow sports coupe, based on his Classics design. He uses the same parts layout as Side Swipe and Blackjack.
Sota Toys
- Transformers Chess Set (
2007)
- Eight identical Bumblebee pieces were to be the Autobot-side Pawns on a chess set based on Generation 1, but the set apparently never saw release.

Boss Coffee
- Bumble (2008)
- A non-transforming PVC figure of Bumblebee was released as part of a promotion by Boss Coffee. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Bumblebee features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.
Attacktix
- Bumblebee (Booster, 200?)
- Attacktix ID number: TF06
- Part of the second-series Transformers Attacktix Boosters, Bumblebee is a "Rare" 10-point "Specialist" that fires a standard missile. His Special Power, "Infiltrate" allows Bumblebee, after being defeated and turning up white, to be placed anywhere on the opponents starting line. He also has an always-active power that lets him take a free turn if he defeats another "Specialist"-ranked piece with a higher point value than his own. Holy schneikies, he's a monster on the board.
 Game over. |
Universe (2008)
- Bumblebee Super Soaker (2009)
- The Bumblebee Super Soaker is a yellow and black redeco of Hasbro's earlier "Sneak Attack 4-Way" water gun. The gun has several nozzle settings that allow it to fire a stream or fan of water straight forward, or streams in four other directions to surprise people and "soak 'em sideways".
Mighty Muggs
- Bumblebee (2009)
- Mighty Muggs Bumblebee is a super-deformed, non-transformable PVC figure with swiveling arms and head. His mold is different from the standard template used by most Transformers Muggs, as it is extra short and has Bumblebee's trademark "horns". On the other hand, he doesn't come with any weapons.
- Bumblebee (2018)
- ID number: 03
- Heavily influenced by his evergreen design, this Bumblebee Mugg is part of the line's relaunch in 2018. This new mold features sculpted wings, and a unique helmet that changes Bee's expression when pressed. He has three different faces: smug, surprised, and silly.
Transformers Wacky Wobblers
- Bumblebee (2009)
- This Bumblebee bobblehead is part of the popular Wacky Wobblers line produced by Funko. Aside from the standard-issue big wobbling head, he also features arms that swivel at the shoulders. Bumblebee is affixed to a base with his name on it.
Transformers x Mimobot
- Bumblebee Mimobot (Mimoco, 2012)
- Produced by Mimoco as part of their multi-brand line of designer USB "Mimobot" flash drives, this Bumblebee memory stick comes in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB sizes, and comes pre-loaded with "digital editions of classic comics, videos, and scripts", as well as a suite of screensavers, avatars, and more standard to all Mimobots.

- Bumblebee (Tiny Titans, 2015)
- Series: 2
- Number: 11/12
- Part of the second assortment of Tiny Titans blindpacks, this version of Bumblebee is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in robot mode... cast in gray plastic with copious amounts of golden-yellow paint on him, more than most Tiny Titans get.
- He includes a collectible card that renders him in the 2015 Robots in Disguise styling. The card includes a scan-badge for the Robots in Disguise mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.
- This wave saw fairly minimal release at "big box" retailers, but unlike other waves, was not picked up by drug stores and the like later, making them particularly hard to find.

Like most of the land-based vehicle figurines, his wheels do not roll.
- In terms of quality control, the figurines' paint applications can be...well, a wee bit but not almost entirely shoddy (notably the wheels, as seen in the photo on the right). If you're a collector who prefers to display them, you should resign yourself from buying it or try to customize the figures with better paint applications if you have the skills.

Playskool Friends
- Transformers Collector Pack (Canceled)
- Intended to be released as part of the 7-pack for the Playskool Friends lineup, this Bumblebee is a very adorable non-transforming figurine. He comes packed with Optimus Prime, Arcee, and 4 Rescue Bots: Heatwave, Chase, Boulder and Blades.

Using parts made of hard ABS plastic and some polycaps, Bumblebee is approximately Deluxe-sized in height.

If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

D'elicce
All Easter eggs listed below were exclusive to Lojas Americanas, a popular Brazilian chain store.
- Transformers Easter egg (2020)
- In 2020, Brazilian chocolate manufacturer D'elicce released a Transformers-themed Easter egg that came inside a relatively large hard plastic handbag based on Bumblebee's evergreen head design. Also available were smaller chocolate eggs that included random stickers of characters and insignias.
- Transformers Easter egg (2021)
- In 2021, D'elicce released another Transformers-themed Easter egg, this time including a popcorn bucket of cutesy proportions based on either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee. Smaller chocolate eggs, this time including temporary tattoos for children, were also available as well.
- Transformers Easter egg (2022)
- Accessories: Egg holder/obstacle piece
- D'elicce's 2022 Transformers egg included a toy of an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.
- The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it's not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it's clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.
- The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car's front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot's face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.
- Transformers Easter egg (2023)
- The 2023 version of D'elicce's Bumblebee is a big-headed robot mode figure made entirely of two pieces of yellow plastic. Opening the figure in half reveals a chocolate egg and a sticker sheet inside. As was the case with the previous release, only the face comes with a pre-applied sticker, while the stickers for the chest, arms and legs must be applied manually. The stickers for the arms feature noticeable movie-style Autobot insignias.
- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2024)
- Yet another Evergreen Bumblebee big head was released in 2024, this time in the form of a lunchbox or something. You can tell they're not even trying anymore.

- Accessories: Blaster, torso plate
- Another version of Super Cyborg Bumblebee was available in mostly transparent plastic, with only some black and yellow on the inner torso parts to make the "x-ray" feature more distinct.

- Bumblebee (2021)
- Accessories: blaster, 2 alternate hands, 2 blast effects, Energon cube, chest plate
- Released as part of the third wave of Transformers R.E.D. toys, Bumblebee is a non-transforming 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the Marvel Legends and Star Wars The Black Series lines. He features 26 points of articulation and is decoed in an attempt at show-accuracy, with an extra smattering of Siege-style battle damage. His robot mode is based on concept art by Ken Christiansen, which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the 2019 IDW ongoing comic and the War for Cybertron Trilogy animated series.
- Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings". He comes with two sets of hands: one pair of closed fists, and one pair of open hands for holding weaponry and accessories. Speaking of which, he also includes a small blaster accessory (though his product description claims he has two), along with a pair of fire blast effects to simulate weapons discharge. He also comes with an Energon cube.
- As with all R.E.D. toys, Bumblebee was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on Hasbro Pulse in limited quantities.
