Hot Wheels designer Manson Cheung has shared, via his Instagram account, some “behind the scenes” images and videos of the new Mattel Creations Hot Wheels Transformers Bumblebee.

Read on for his comments:

“For the continuation of the Hot Wheels X Transformers collaboration, I created Bumblebee that is able to transform from car to robot. Using a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle as a base, I took inspiration from animated version of Bumblebee.

This was over 300 hours of work (from Feb – May 2025), starting with initial concept, figuring out a new transformation, designing, sculpting, preliminary engineering. All this fun before turnover.

Then, another 100 hours over many more months in development, after turnover.

Swipe to see my thought process, sketches, modeling process, and transformation of prototype. Bumblebee goes on sale 17 September 2026.”

The official Mattel Creations website have been updated with the full official reveal of the new Mattel Creations Hot Wheels Transformers Bumblebee.

This new die-cast transformable figure will be up for pre-order since September 17, 2026 at 9:00 am PT for $65.00. Read on for details:

Hot Wheels is back at it with the third 1:64 Transformers Bot collaboration that delivers on all fronts: a Bumblebee based on the G1 version, and styled with a touch of Hot Wheels flair. The skilled scout and spy is rolling undercover in a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle body, with a weathered paint finish and Real Riders wheels. When it’s time for action, it converts into a robot with 13 points of articulation. Not getting your hands on one of these sure would sting!
