GENERATION ONE
Bumblebee made his debut in his now-standard yellow, as well as in red for some reason… and in many other colors, in South America.

GENERATION ONE: GOLDBUG
Sometimes, Bumblebee is Bumblebee, by any name.
Image
GENERATION ONE: PRETENDER
Locked in a humanoid shell, Bumblebee now had a more Cliffjumper-ish head but was still relatively tiny.
Image
GENERATION ONE: ACTION MASTER
Action Master Bumblebee came with a transforming heli-pack.
Image
GENERATION TWO: SHINY
The reissued minibots Bumblebee, Hubcap [red now for some reason] and Beachcomber had vac-metal paint. Image
GENERATION TWO: GOBOT
One of many early-era Autobots and Decepticons turned into small Hot Wheels-ish cars, Bumblebee was now a golden concept car. Image
WORLD’S SMALLEST
How much smaller could this little guy get? A lot, apparently.

TFC MINIBOT REISSUE SET
This part of a minibot reissue set featured a remolded, show-accurate head!

CLASSICS
There can be no returning to the good old days without everyone’s favorite little buddy — now practically a mini-Alternator with an Action Masters-ish Wave Crusher backpack weapon! Image
CLASSICS LEGENDS/MICRO SERIES
