Comments: The story? In Japan there was a Transforming toy line called Microman. Within this line there was a red car called Bumblebee. Well, Hasbro bought out the remaining stock and packaged them in America as "Red" Bumblebees. As you can tell, they put the red color on the card as well so this was not un-intentional. Plus, as you can tell, the figure is a Bumblebee (and not packaged as a Cliffjumper as some have said). This piece is a great find loose but a RARE find Mint on Card!! They did the same thing with Cliffjumper. In Japan he was yellow and, therefore, there are "Yellow" Cliffjumpers here
in America. I need one of those!!
Small eager and brave, Bumblebee acts as messenger and spy. Due to his small size, he dares to go where others can't and won't. He idolizes the bigger Autobots, especially Optimus Prime and Prowl, and strives to be accepted. He is the most energy efficient and has the best vision of all the Autobots. He can go underwater for reconnaissance and salvage missions. Although physically the weakest Autobot, his stealth more than compensates for this inadequacy.
