The Studio Series 18 Bumblebee was part of the third wave of releases. Bumblebee is by far the most represented character in the Studio Series, with multiple repaints, retools, and reworkings.

## Vehicle Mode

This version of Bumblebee transforms into the rally yellow 1969 Volkswagen Beetle from the Bumblebee movie in 2018.

## Robot Mode

 Repaints, Retools, and Reworkings

There are a few characters that pop up more than once in the Studio Series, and Bumblebee is definitely no exception.

### Repaints

A repaint is when the exact same figure is re-released in different colors.

* The SS-20 Retro Pop Highway Bumblebee has a golden color to the plastic and was a San Diego ComicCon Exclusive in 2018
* The SS-24 Bumblebee has a more movie accurate rusty paint job to it, and is bundled with SS-25.

###  Retools

A retool is when a figure has a slight change or improvement that sets it apart from the original.

* None.

### Reworkings

A reworking is when a figure goes thru significant changes into a new figure. In my mind, this includes totally different figures representing the same character in the same series.

* The SS-01 Bumblebee transforms into a 1977 Chevy Camaro.
* The SS-15 Bumblebee is a much less detailed repaint of SS-01 but has stickers and accessories for the car.
* The SS-19 Retro Pop Garage Bumblebee is a gold repaint of SS-01 and was a San Diego ComicCon Exclusive in 2018.
* The SS-25 Bumblebee transforms into a 2017 Chevy concept Camaro, and is bundled with SS-24.
* The SS-26 WWII Bumblebee transforms into a World War II era military car.
* The SS-27 Clunker Bumblebee is a more movie accurate rusty repaint of SS-01.
* The SS-49 Bumblebee transforms into a 2007 Chevy concept Camaro
* The SS-57 Offroad Bumblebee that transforms into a World War II era jeep.

 Accessories

* The SS-18 Bumblebee also includes his arm cannon, which tabs onto his wrist.
* Also, his battle mask, which can replace his normal mask.
* As well as his arm blade, which also tabs onto his wrist.

## Trivia

* This version of the figure features a clean paintjob, which is inaccurate to the movie it represents. In the Bumblebee movie, the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Bumblebee is only shown rusted out, like the SS-24 Bumblebee figure.
