Hey guys, im new to this forum so hi all!

Basically i have a Optimus, Jetfire and ironhide leader class toys. But to keep with the realistic sizes of the robots i want to get a good size bumblebee. Do you guys recommend any decent sized bumbleebees??

I'd say Human alliance Bumblebee is a good size for Leader Optimus and Ironhide. And he's a great figure too. DOTM Leader Bumblebee might work too, if you like that one. HTH and welcome aboard.

I think they should make a VC Bumblebee to go with the LC figs.

Actually, Optimus Prime stands about 28 feet tall in the movie. I just measured my Leader Prime from ROTF and he is around 10.5 inches tall. That means he is around 1/32 scale. At that scale Bumblebee, who in real life would be around 17 feet tall, would be roughly 6.3 inches tall. Exactly the height of Battle Blades Bumblebee.

That won't help at all, since there's a plethora of Deluxe-sized Bumblebees

To make it a bit easier, these are your best shots:

1) DotM Bumblebee, if you don't mind stock car style
2) HftD Battle Blade Bumblebee, easily the best. Bit tall for his scale though.
3) Movie 1 Camaro Concept Bumblebee/RotF Bumblebee, both use the same base mold. Camaro Concept has a removable transforming weapon, but outdated car model (2008 Concept), while RotF has a more accurate head (that looks like a scared lemur) and updated car model (2010 Camaro).

And this concludes my welcoming post. O, one thing:

lol thanks guys!

I think it will be either the battle blades bumblebee or the human alliance ROTF bumblebee.
Im well dissapointed they dont have a Megatron Leader class for the DOTM! Would of looked sexy in my collection!

Its still too early to tell for Megs. San Diego Comic Con might bring some news of a leader Megatron and I hope it does. The DOTM line is still only in its first few waves, then Hasbro always stretches out the movie line another year or so with a sub line before moving on to the current animated series or Generations. So basically there is still hope for a Leader Truck Megatron (And Shockwave and :Hides behind barrier: Blackout... Don't hurt me!).

As for the Bee, I'd go with Battle Blades as he is my favorite.

Screw Human Alliance. I have no use for that line. You definitely want a deluxe.

I love Battleblades Bumblebee, but he is a little hunchbacked.

I reeeaaally love DotM BB. The only problem with him is the terrible paint job. Other than that, I think that mold is most accurate.
