I finally caved in and picked up the individual deluxe-class (Chevy Trax) Mudflap & (Chevy Beat) Skids. They're both a lot more fun than I expected. I want to get a Bumblebee in scale with them; which BB would you recommend would look best standing alongside them in bot mode? I'm guessing HA BB is way too big. RotF Preview BB? RotF Cannon BB? 07 Movie Premium BB? Other recommendations? I don't know much about movie figures. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Any of the delux BBs are in scale with the twins. If you want movie accuracy then don't get Cannon Bee, any of the others are fine.

ALTHOUGH I DONT OWN HIM HABB WOULD BE THE BETTER FIT IF YOU WANT SCALE ACCURACY.IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE HES CONSIDERABLY TALLER THAN BOTH OF THEM TALL ENOUGH TO PICK THEM UP SEVERAL FEET OF THE GROUND.

In robot mode, the HA version is probably a better fit for scale. For alt mode, go with the preview figure for accuracy.

I own both the Deluxe Twins and a few Deluxe BBs. Since the twins are significantly smaller than the average Deluxe, any Deluxe class BB would fit perfectly in scale with the Twins. I wouldn't recommend any of the Cannon BB mold, though. So go for the normal Deluxe mold (any version).

I actually like the cannon BB for this, the preview BB has wacky eyes.

my vote is for Cannon BB as he is a bit bulkier than the others (minus HA BB which obviously is too big)

So I'm still pretty torn. It sounds like cannon-arm BB =/= movie accurate? For the sake of movie accuracy, which deluxe BB would fit in best with them?

In terms of movie accuracy, I would say go for the first ROTF deluxe BB:




Here's a quick pic I snapped of the twins with my custom painted ROTF BB:

HABB would not be a better fit cos he's huge. His wheels would be a total giveaway, in fact, all of his car parts would be a total giveaway.

And alternator77, please turn your capslock off. It's considered rude to 'shout' in forum posts.

The BB with cannon arm is the most accurate. The one with cannons coming out of his shoulders (this one is called cannon BB) is NOT accurate cos the CGI doesn't have these guns and the chest is all wrong.

As far as Bot mode, I would have to go with HA BB. The twins are way smaller than he is, and I think the scale is appropriate between him and the deluxe class Twins. Just my opinion.
