No, he a Cybertronian robot that disguised itself by taking the form of a Volkswagen Beetle at some point in the 1980s. He's not actually a VW Beetle any more than he later became a Camaro

I remember the outrage when they made Bumblebee the Camaro Concept when Bee transformed into a VW Beetle in all other depictions before the first Transformer movie.......

The first one came out in '86. It was animated. Orson Wells voiced Unicron

If there is one thing that I hate about my Camaro, it's the association it has with these terrible movies.

We also have the movie to blame for the ridiculous front bumper on the 6th gen refresh.

Bumblebee has always been a VW beetle, hence the easter egg in the first movie where the Camaro was parked next to a yellow beetle. The camaro was just a Michael Bay sponsored by Chevy thing to begin with.
