i think it boils down to ratchet, starcream or concept bumblebee

I'm gonna say 08 BB.

A great tf.

Concept BB, hands down.

with those choices, its BB of course

I want to say Ironhide, because he's ridiculously close for the busy nature of his physical make up. I just love how they were able to make the front of the truck into his shoulders.

However ... concept BB is pretty much spot on to his movie self. As is Leader Brawl.

I'll have to say CC BB slightly edges leader brawl out on accuracy. What a cool figure that lil' Camaro turned out to be. The fact that they accomplished what they did ... with a deluxe class is utterly amazing.

i defenitly like 08 bb teh best to, he is much more movie accurate than ultimate bb in my opinion

08 BB without a doubt, but am I the only one who thinks Leader Optimus Prime looks great too?

I'd have to go with Leader class Prime on this one, he is the only one with full movie detailing.. and a general likeness to the movie char..

Thank you!!!! that answers my question.

Concept BB (new Camaro version)

Ironhide & 08 BB

Barricade's vehicle mode is nice too, though

concept BB. i own a LC OP, he's waaay too unproportioned and bulky-looking, unlike BB. to have accomplished something like BB at the scale of a deluxe figure is simply amazing.

as a reviewer once said over at Tformers, this beaut's like a mini-Alternator. only thing that woulda made it perfect is if they found a way to make the car roof panels which form his had shields a little more like the movie, but that would be pushing it IMHO.

too bad about the crappy paint job though. it seems that due to the demand for him the painting was kinda rushed. that's about the only bad thing about this figure.

The best movie-detailed will be Leader Prime and Ironhide.
The least and worst movie-detailed is Ratchet. He looked almost nothing and badly proportioned to his movie counterpart. Ironhide's legs alone beat Ratchet's simple legs designs.

Unleashed Bumblebee again

I'm going to go with blackout because of his face which is pretty darn detailed. If only they had made him a leader class figure with spining blades that you didn't have to push something to move.

Detailed...meaning every detail like the movie/ or design and overall articulation detail or...In anycase, 08 BB definitely earned 1 of the top DETAILED movie figs, cause i was lucky to have 9 of those in front of me to pick the best paint application one at Walmart(took me 30mins, folks ). Jazz, Ratchet & Ironhide are also on par cause they rock in robot mode and rolls in d other. Leader Prime's paint scheme is just sick, plus the rubber tires and the signature horn button? Did i mention i finally have a Prime where his eyes flashes.(note: i tend to get a kick on figs with see through plastic optics like my own)

Da verdict: ALL d above.

Ratchet on par? Are you serious??? Somebody needs to watch the movie again! Oct. 16th, yeahhh!

Jazz ain't bad. i though he was designed as pseudo-Alternator like Concept BB. Detail -wise i thought he was true to the movie. Just a little bulky i guess.

i agree with every thing in tht sentence. BTW, i have thought of multiple ways to improve figures, i think that hasbro should design them, but we should improve them! who else has come up with better ways of improving figs?

I'd say Ironhide, but it would be more obvious that he was the most movie detailed if they actually painted him half decently.

08 Bumblebee is also good, and because of his lighter colour, more detail can be seen, but better painting could have again highlighted even more detail.

most definitely leader class prime.. the detailing is great.. the deluxe concept bumblebee is a great figure.. but he's not more accurate or better detailed than op. i don't recall there being too much black on bumblebee in the movie. not to mention bumblebees chest is wrong. i mean.. it's basically the concept of the movie bumblebee.. but far far far less accurate than primes chest is. yeah leader prime is a little bulky.. but i'd argue that he is the most posable figure in the line. i mean primes got those things on the top of his shoulders, the smoke stacks, those knee pads, the tires near his feet, the flaps on this shoulder/bicep area, his chest, his forearms, the way his feet look, his shins.. which are all accurate to what he looks like in the movie.. the only thing i have a problem with are the panels on the back of his hands.. that's it.
i wish they'd do a masterpiece version of him. have him a little bigger.. and just have some great minds at takara bump their heads together and try to get as movie transformation and looking as possible.

oh.. and whatever happened with takara putting out a leader class version with diecast??

the thing about the movie toys is that they were based on the concept sketches of the characters, not the final ones we saw. thats why ratchet has the axe-thing and jazz the shield/sword, etc. when comparing to the designs, they are ALL great IMO.

ironhide could qualify too. his alt mode can almost pass as an alternator imo.
