Got him today (well yesterday now) and I agree with what pretty much everyone is saying, Best Movie Bee Yet, infact this has even become one of my all time favorite figures, my only complaint is that the axe faces the wrong direction but other than that he is fantastic, and surprisingly tall (he looked short and bulky in the box but it's much better when positioned properly)

I got this toy and I really enjoy it, however there are two things I am not satisfied with from this figure.

A) The battle mask. Though it's cool to finally have a BB that can have a flip down mask, the mask itself (I don't know whether it's just me) feels incredibly tight where it sits on his head and I'm afraid that I would snap it if I tried to push it down anymore because of the plastic it is made up of. If it does snap, I'd have to bridge the gap with a thin metal rod and that could take some time and much precision.

B) The gun-arm is yellow! cmon, at least paint it grey!

But aside from that, this is really the best BB figure I have yet.

this is one fantastic little bugger. Shame my one has a defect preventing the leg from sitting flush in alt mode.

Mine too, but with a little filing it works better now.

I got out my original 07 Movie BB to compare and it's a bit of a toss-up as to which I like best. I love the new weapons and battle mask of Battle Blades BB but the transformation is much more annoying than the original. I think if I could only keep one, it would be the first one.

I know this is old now but picked him up for $14.99 yesterday. Already had 2 versions of deluxe bb but wanted one more movie accurate. I think this is brilliant! Love the sword, cannon, mask. Can't really fault it. Was tossing up wether to get a dotm bb instead. Glad I didn't now.

Who cares about DOTM Bumblebee when you have this guy? Seriously?

Completely agreed.

For me it's a tie between HftD Battle Blade Bumblebee and DotM Bumblebee.

HftD Battle Blade Bumblebee is one impressive deluxe especially with its tall stance, excellent torso work, the two converting weapons and the optional battle mask. This is certainly the complete movie Bumblebee but his arms are just a little too small in proportion to the rest of the body and the yellow fins on the thighs are kinda unruly. Which is what irks me in this otherwise almost perfect figure.

DotM Bumblebee on the other hand have perfect proportions, which is always a big thing for me and slightly outdoes the Battle Blade version.

It's a big tie for me and I'd recommend either one then any of the other Bb molds (including all old movie deluxe and the new Nitro BB).

I'm going to trust the Stompy brand and check it out.
