    Battle Blade Bee FTW. Awesome mold, and great paint job.

    I say HFTD BB BB. The mold itself is good, and as for accuracy/features, its right arm turns into a gun (like in the movies), his left arm turns into an axe (not sure if it was in the movies, but it's still cool), and he has a slide-down battle mask (like in the movies).

    I'm with you, Optimus1138!

    HFTD Deluxe class Battle Blade Bummblebee #1 with his transformable right arm/cannon, left arm/axe and retracting battle mask. :thumbs2: 

    My only wish is to find a way to add on him the shoulder-mounted chaingun cannons (from ROTF Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee) he used on Brawl in the 2007 Movie. :redface2:

    Battle Blade.

    I'm not buying another Bumblebee until they make a deluxe on that also has a flip down mask and built in cannon with other significant features to beat it.

    I agree, Battle Blades Bumblebee is the best movie version you'll find. It isn't that he is too tall in my opinion but rather the previous 'Bees are too short I think.

    To display with older figures like Rotf leader Prime, Voyager Ratchet, old Voyager Ironhide, Battle Blade Bee is perfect. Dotm Bee is too small for that cast and too big for their shrinked versions (Battle Blades Prime, deluxe Ratchet or deluxe Ironhide etc.) anyway.

    Battle Blade Bee isn't too tall, all the other deluxes are too short. He fits with official rotf scale chart. Besides, unlike others, this one looks really heroic in every pose.

    Battle Blades Bumblebee is probably the best overall deluxe Bee. DotM BB is a close second, since it's basically a smaller, more in-scale version of BBBB, but without the awesome gimmicks.

    This has been asked many times. The answer is still the same. HFTD Battle Blades.

    Beyond that I like the ROTF Preview, and DOTM Bees.

    Battle Blades Bumblebee is the best version in my book.

    Also the yet to be released Cyberfire Bumblebee.

    HFTD Battle Blades Bumblebee is definitely the best, but I'm a huge fan of DOTM Nitro Bumblebee as well!

    HftD Battle Blades is good, but I just can't get past the way his chest looks. The hood sticks up too high behind his head, and the car pieces on his chest look weird to me. DotM Bee's chest looks so much better. He lacks on the paint apps, but his engineering is better. He's also a lot less frustrating to transform. Not near as fiddly.

    He's on HTS now, or at least he was earlier this week. I got him along with Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker when there was that Groupon deal. He came today, and although I haven't opened him yet, he looks awesome. I'm planning to put Decepticon symbols on him. I'm not sure what to call him, though.

    I own the original, the 1974, the one that came in the Legacy 3-pack, Battle Blades, and today got the DOTM first one. While BB is cool and all, the DOTM is "cleaner" and small enough to stand with Voyager HFD Prime, Deluxe Ratchet, Deluxe Sideswipe, etc.
