Favourite? Cheetor.

Of those listed, I like Cheetor the best. We got to see him grow from goofy kid to team leader over the course of BW/BM, and he had such a fun personality thru it all. The BW/BM characterizations in general are my favorite.

Of course, I'm terribly biased towards the Beast Warriors. I'm pretty sure Hot Shot had essentially the same story arc (in fact I think Hot Shot even calls Optimus "Big Bot" just like Cheetor does) but he'll never beat Cheetor purely because of that bias.

I grew up more with Hotshot than Cheetor. I miss him. Animated gave me hope, than swiftly took it away.

cheetor is fine and dandy, but I didnt remember much about him as apposed to Hotshot.

Bumblebee has just become a spotlit, over saturated, cash cow of a spotlight whore, and Im tired of him. Bring back Hotshot!

Oh, I voted for Hotshot.

I'm a Beast Wars man and I was never into any of the series at all that featured Hot Shot so I'm not familiar with the character. I find the modern incarnation of Bumblebee to be quite boring, not just because he doesn't speak, but also because as much as the movies/Prime try to sort of make him seem like such, he's never as hardcore/bada$$/ninjamatic as I'd hoped he'd be.

I do like G1 Bee, and Movie Bee is fairly amusing as per his gimmick. I've gotta give it to Cheetor, for doing the character right. Noideaforaname did a good job of listing the reasons why.

Overall, I have to say Cheetor is my favorite. Most likeable, at least.

Movieverse Bee comes in at a close second, although the whole radio clips thing is getting old.

G1 Bee.

I hate 99% of beastformers, and Hot Shot is a bad example of a character that tries too hard. Meanwhile, all Bee's since 2007 (except Animated) have all been missing the entire point.

i picked hot shot. while watching beast wars cheetor was kinda annoying to listen too but kinda likable. so he is second. and bumblebee i hate with a burning passion.

^this^

I also grew up with hotshot and have always liked him more.

Now lets hope prime bb gets killed off and hotshot replaces him.

Hot Shot got my vote, because his toy was the best and I love playing as him in the PS2 game. I like Cheetor's character, but that's it. And Bumblebee, all versions of him from all continuities except WFC, can go to hell.

G1 BBB all the way. I grew up with him on screen and that's the yellow I like best.

-edit- Lumping G1 'bee and movie 'bee into one option isn't fair. They're very different characters.

I watched transformers for the 1st time in 2007. I've watched AEC, but I don't like Hot Shot... as for Cheetor... I just dislike BW, so I have no idea on his character...

Oh, Hotshot in Cybertron was blue, actually.

Going to go with Cheetor. Best of the available selection.

Movie Bee and Proper Bee are very different. I liked G1 Bee (well, Goldbug) in the comics, and he was always there in the cartoon, although I never had much of a fondness for him.

I have to say though, "the Wolverine" of TFs, at least in story terms is Grimlock. BB is more like a Spider-Man (although that might just be the voice making me think that).

I probably would have voted for Bumblebee, but my opinion of him has been soured lately because I'm sick of seeing his figures everywhere. So I voted for Cheetor instead for the reasons already given.

Cheetor FTW!

Plus, Bumblebee has become wayyyy over-hyped since the debut of the first transformers movie
