Hey everyone, first post here.
I've been collecting movie Tranformers for a little while now, and when it comes to Bumblebee, I've kinda lost the decisive part of my brain. I own Nitro Bumblebee, but I'm treating him as what he is, a variant. For my main Bee, I don't know which one to choose. I've narrowed it down to Battle Blade, or the regular Dark of the Moon deluxe. I'm looking for opinions; which deluxe Bumblebee would you guys choose? Feel free to stray from my choices as well, I'd like to hear what you guys thought was the best Bee
Thanks

The thing to remember with DOTM vs ROTF is size. DOTM runs a little bit smaller, mostly noticeable in car mode.
Battle blades Bee is very nice, but stands a "little" taller then most of the DOTM deluxes. I'd say if you don't mind that....go with him.

BBBB is nice, but DOTM bee still wins in terms of proportion. BBBB is very lengthy and hollow in the abdomen area.
Plus, regular DOTM bee's car mode is way better than BBBB IMO

I'll go with Gavinfuzzy and say that DOTM would probably be better. I think he's one of the only Movie Bee figures I have that doesn't have to hunch over to stand >_<

What an awful question to ask. There are a million of those things by now.
Well... Since you already own a DOTM BBB, as far as deluxes go, Battle Blades is the best IMO. The Human alliance version appears to be very nice as well. Don't own one, though.

As long as you don't mind the fact that he's a lot taller than other DOTM Deluxes (and a bit taller than most Deluxes in general), definitely get HFTD BB BB, assuming you can get him for a good price. His robot mode is awesome. It's got a built-in gun on his right arm, and pop-out axe on his left arm, and a fold-dowm battle mask on his head. I recommend that you get the Cyberfire repaint of DOTM BB, though. It's really awesome looking, especially as a Decepticon.

I'm sofa king sick of Bumblebee, but I gotta admit, Battle Blade Bee is a well done figure. Easily the best deluxe movie BB I've handled...though I haven't gotten any DOTM BBs. I find it hard to believe one of the DOTM Bees has outshined BBBB, though.

Battle Blade:
- Battle mask
- Transforming arm cannon
- Backward energon axe
- No MechTech weapon
DOTM:
- Closer to scale with other DOTM Deluxe cars.
- MechTech weapon
- Spoiler
I think, overall, Battle Blade Bumblebee is easily the superior figure. As far as I'm concerned, a MechTech weapon is a poor replacement for the self-contained gimmicks in the Battle Blade figure. But, if fitting in with other DOTM figures is important to you, he's not the best choice in that regard.
IMO, the top three movie 'Bees out there are Battle Blade, Human Alliance, and Battle Ops (in no particular order other than size). Of those, Battle Blade is going to be a better match scale-wise to more other figures.

Thanks everyone for the opinions. I picked up the wave 1 DOTM Bee, and I'm really liking him. However, I may still buy Battle Blade in the future. I guess it all came down to availability and price. Thanks again, fellow fans!

I own both Bee's (Battle Blade, Deluxe DOTM)
and both have their cool features:
Battle Blade has a battle mask and cool cannon on his arm, while the DOTM one has a cool MechTech gun and a cute head.
