What colour was BUMBLEJUMPER?

I have seen a few websites say that Bumblejumper came in only yellow in transformer packaging and that the red ones are simply the microchangers. But others say that is came in red AND yellow.
I am coming VERY close to completign my G1 us collection and need only 21 now, or 23 if including red Bumblejumper. Also, if there is a red Bumblejumper, is there any difference between it and the microchanger version. I know with red bumblebee there seems to be a few versions. 1, pre rub with microchangers stickers (may be microchangers and not transformers) 2, pre rub with autobot stickers and 3, rub sign version. Does this also apply to Bumblejumper? The version of Bumblejumper I have is yellow, no indent for rub sign and came with an autobot sticker.
Sorry for so many questions but this is confusing the hell out of me.

"Bumblejumper" and "Bumper" are fan-coined names given to a yellow toy similar to te Bumblebee and Cliffjumper molds that came packaged on Cliffjumper cards.

There is no evidence that the toy was ever available in red on US Transformers packaging, and there is no evidence he was ever sold on Bumblebee cards. If a website claims otherwise, it's old hearsay.

Thats true. Its just the fact it has a TF rubsign thats confusing me.

Reprolabels do make rubsigns after all. Which is kinda funny, because I always pull the things off my G1 figures.

There might be some info on Bumblejumper here, but I'll be honest, my eyes glaze over when I try to even scan read the page. I tried reading through to see if there was anything useful and just realised I'd been scrolling up and down aimlessly for two minutes.

thanks. To be honest I was hoping Bumblejumper did not come in red as it would mean yet another G1 transformer to track down. Now I know, I can scrub him off my list.
