The Studio Series 01 Bumblebee was part of the first 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 1977 Chevy Camaro Z/28 from the beginning of the first Transformers movie in 2007.

## Robot Mode

 Accessories

* The SS-01 Bumblebee also includes his arm cannon, which tabs into his elbow joint.

## 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-15 Bumblebee has very little paint details, instead having stickers and accessories to deck out the vehicle mode.
* The SS-19 Retro Pop Garage Bumblebee has a golden color to the plastic and was a San Diego ComicCon Exclusive in 2018.

### Retools

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

* The SS-27 Clunker Bumblebee has a more movie accurate rusty paint job to it, but has a metal bar in the backpack, significantly fixing the transformation.

### 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-18 Bumblebee transforms into a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle.
* The SS-20 Retro Pop Highway Bumblebee is a gold repaint of SS-18 and was a San Diego ComicCon Exclusive in 2018.
* The SS-24 Bumblebee is a rusty repaint of SS-18, and is bundled with SS-25.
* 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-49 Bumblebee transforms into a 2007 Chevy concept Camaro
* The SS-57 Offroad Bumblebee transforms into a World War II era jeep
* The SS-70 B-127 transforms into his Cybertronian Mode from the Bumblebee movie
* The SS-74 Bumblebee transforms into a 2009 Chevy concept Camaro

## Trivia

* This version of the figure features a clean paintjob, which is inaccurate to the movie it represents. In the first movie, the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee is only shown rusted out, like the SS-27 Clunker Bumblebee figure. This version is actually closer in appearance to how Bumblebee looks when he take the 1977 Camaro form at the end of the Bumblebee movie.
