I'm thinking of buying either Battle Ops Bumblebee or DOTM leader Bumblebee but I don't know which to get. What's everyone's opinion on which has the better detail, movie accuracy, alt mode and general quality?

Though I don't own either, have no intention to :p, IMO Battle Ops BB is the superior version and it's $10 cheaper at Big W than the DOTM equivalent. ;):cool:
You get a bigger figure (Mass-wise), with light and sound gimmicks and overall better bang for your buck. :D
I was leaning towards battle ops but I like DOTM alt mode. But if the battle ops is bigger it's probably better. And if I'm not mistaken he is also the same mold as masterpiece movie bumblebee?
I believe that to be the case, yeah, it's definitely not that giant Movie Bumblebee that shelf-warmed like nothing else, that's for sure! :pQuote:

It's for this reason I am almost tempted to buy the DOTM version because I think he would fit better...almost tempted
No, not really - Up this way that Ultimate Bumblebee (see giant Movie Bumblebee :p) and it's minor ROTF retool shelf-warmed ridiculously. :DQuote:

i battle ops bumblebee is better especially on clearance ~$50 back when i bought it last year. nice solid conversion and a good sound chip.
just watched the peaugh review of dotm leader bumblebee and i really dont like the way the chest is formed. other than that, really dont like the size - its so small.
I bought Battle Ops Bumblebee when it was on sale for $50 at K-Mart. Wasn't as cool as I had thought, as it ended up quite blocky and the arm couldn't sit straight at his side w/o the cannon being deployed. However it is an interesting piece of engineering, with some satisfying pieces of transformation for the legs and shoulder cannons.
However I'm ordering Leader 'Bee from BBTS and have a feeling I'll be happier with him as a toy to play with than Battle Ops.
