shoutout to optibotimus from microwave society! our parents wallets may have hated your reviews growing up, but man thank you for bringing us joy to our little lives :> bc of you im a proud transformers collector today.. even still have my original, ROTF Leader optimus!!
@Franklin Reyes- Class of 2024 I remember my dad coming to visit and bringing this figure as well as a remote control car. Sadly the head popped off and went missing, but at that age I learned how to control make-believe. Bets time of my childhood tbh
I remember getting this for my 10th birthday at Tesco for 19.99 and i loved it, it was the last one on stock but i have lost it to time but i feel i could get this for pretty cheap nowadays
rockingbro For some reason i cant transform my bumblebee properly.The back part is always not aligned and it keeps going down and i cant transform it properly
Honestly, I like this new version of Bumblebee alot. It seems like it's alot easier to transform than the first 2007 movie deluxe Bumblebee was, plus the poseable thumb is a really nice touch. Also, while the paint job on the mech tech weapon may not be the most detailed, it does have a very cool look to it in both "forms". As far as the mesh racing windows go, just break those damn things off, man. Then you can use the regular windows.
I was a small fella, who watched cartoon network and there were commercials on the dark of the moon mechtech commercials, it was awesome. Even today it brings back lots of memories.
Cool review, Optibotimus. Still can't wait to meet you at Botcon 2011. I paid for my Primus package a few nights ago so, I'm pretty much all set for Panels, Seminars, the Dealer Room and such things like that. Bring them on. I still would like to trade phone numbers with you so we can try to meet up somewhere because I'm sure it'll get crowded.
I used to have this figure but I accidently broke the door and I don't know where or what happened to it so I replaced it with the r.i.d bumblebee from transformers prime
I'm sad now I remember having this bumblebee and taking him everywhere! I dropped him and he broke in two my heart is still broken or he's someq out there hopefully
I definetely like this one. I like the car mode, and that mesh in the windows is a cool feature. It kind of cracks me up when you say SS Camaro, its a Camaro SS LOL but to each his own on how to say it, it all means the same. Nice review, and I sure hope to get this one.
This guys gonna be my first transformer! Since I'm into Lego too and I'm turning 14. I still like playing with these ttypes of things I'll get bumblebee (this one) and shockwave
i totally agree about the small window thing on both sides i just bought the black and yellow edition and it just doesnt look great if you flip the windows up it looks totally badass
Wow. That’s even better than dotm. Idk if you’ve ever been to universal studios but it’s like a pg13 version of Disney land. I’ve bought transformers there and they’re really expensive . One time I bough 2 regular sized transformers one of which was a blue race car and a purple jet, it was $80.
hey, should I get Deluxe Class Bumblebee or Deluxe Class Ratchet from the Dark of The Moon line? thanks! Btw I think you deserve more subs then Peaugh! Yes Peaugh is amazing but you cover litteraly EVERYTHING! You cover both transformations you're vids are like triple the length of his! Optibotimus you are the king of Transformers reviews!
I just got this figure yesterday and you're right about the back. it kind of leaves n empty space. The problem I'm having is that the chest piece doesn't lock in so it stays loose which is annoying. Still, a great figure and, as usual, a great toy review :)
I cut the mesh off, it looks so much better :) then flipped up the windows on the doors and they close perfectly ,now I have to cut the mesh off Cyberfire Bumblebee LMFAO! The only problem though, is there's a gap behind the windows, side windows are to small and windows are straight up not angled.You will notice if you compare the doors to Concept Camaro Bumblebee
Okay Paul, I can't decide which Bumblebee to get, I was wondering if i should wait and get the leader class DOTM, or the deluxe class, or if I should go ahead and get the battle blades?
@optibotimus i think he means if the battle blades arms in the dark of the moon bumblebe would fit(if you swaped the arms the bb bumblebee arms goes to the dark of the moon no?)
@optibotimus The fact doesn't change it's another minus point compared to the Battle Blades version lol. Battle Blades is probably the best so far, the only downsides it had are being almost as tall as a Voyager figure ((Making it tall for a character known to be the little guy)), the wrists, and lack of some paint details.
I have a similar variant. Mine has the same casting and the game gun, but is painted black with yellow flames, starting yellow at the front and leading, or "flaming", to a solid black rear half of the car.
the reason why hasbro put the nascar net instead of a window is because the windows don't fit inside the car. I've tried cutting the nascar net and folding up the windows and it didn't fit.
Yep I’m 13 and upsessed with the transformers and playing with them. Optibotimus, peaugh, and emgo are a big part of that. I was looking to buy some transformers this weekend I might get this deluxe bumblebee.
i just wondering if you cut off the racing window to make the clear windows can goes down and make them more "REGULER" .obviously i kinda hate with those windows racing actually
Hey, man, I'm having trouble finding a comparison of all the different Movieverse bumblebees. Wondering what your opinion on which one is best would be, or if at this point it makes sense for me to just wait for TF4's Toyline.
Great review as always. I agree with everything you say, though I admit I'm not as bothered by the sunken head. I used to have Battle Blades Bumblebee before I got DOTM Bumblebee one for my birthday two years ago, and I agree that he was the superior figure, though. Even still, I'm happy with this Bumblebee.
Think I'll stick with my Capture of BB set from '07. Battle Blade BB was meh, though I did certainly like the fold-out weps. Lacking paint apps? Doesn't this simply mean you got this set BEFORE it came out (a la through unofficial pre-production channels)???
@optibotimus That is actually a good rule. I'll think of something to get your attention or if you just watch a lot of my unboxing videos to get my face down pat, I might have to make a sign to get your attention. I just know that it'll be a really huge honor to meet you and I'll probably ask for your autograph.
The thing I hated most about this figure was how useless the windows were on his doors. I don't recall Bee having those racing nets in his windows. I would love this figure if the windows were usable
This Bee has what the Brits call the "Boy Racer" look. More mature... right, Mr. Bay. An interesting figure overall. Were this MY figure, and I did not like the mesh "windows", I would just cut them off and raise the windows. End of story. That being said, I realize not everyone is comfortable cutting off a portion of a figure's original molding. Your mileage may vary. Thanks for the review and I look forward to whatever is next.
I like battle blades to, I have both of them. I've seen some guys saying human alliance is one that's combine like more acurate, just look at the movie and you see Optimus is way tall then the others
Hey optibotimus, are you planning on purchasing the Dread? Because that figure is my favorite so far in the new line. Just another thing, Hasbro released official images of the Human Alliance Roadbuster with Srg. Recon. It looks awesome.
he does not look like an alien to me he looks great than th other versions an advice try to color the canon black it looks great I did that in my bumblebee
@OptiBot141 no. really , the windows don't fit, i removed the race car net and tried fitting the windows several times. It will be unnecessary if they will put two real windows and two other fake windows ,right?
Man oh man! I have- or... had this toy! I don’t think I am able to find him! I was like 3 or 4 when I got this and I was all over the place with this thing! This was a really good toy, but over time he broke! 😕 Be gentle with Bumblebee!!!
I bought one yesterday and tried cutting the nascar window nets today. Well, I've removed the nets but the windows still don't fit .At least there are no more nascar stuff in the toy which destroys the toy a lot.

Happy to help!
Lmao I’m watching their vid rn and it led me here
Yeah the rot or not shout out from Jude
Okay. The arms may be smaller, but CAN you do it? Are the balljoints the same size?
Wow, the DotM deluxe Bumblebee actually is the best looking of them all. Great review!
I was playing the air guitar during the intro.
Oh yeah XD
I have that deluxe bumblebee, Its my very first transformers ever... Andi plan on starting to collect some transformers toy
I broke too many 😭
Zach Adan my name is zack to
da boi N pretty much all my dotm and rotf toys are broken
kenly canadian me too. but then it’s not able to stand
@Franklin Reyes- Class of 2024 I remember my dad coming to visit and bringing this figure as well as a remote control car. Sadly the head popped off and went missing, but at that age I learned how to control make-believe. Bets time of my childhood tbh
@optibotimus Thanks!
This whole era of transformers figures was my introduction to the concept of shrinkflation.
microwave society brought me here. now this review can live in my head as well
6:14 Best Laugh ever!:)
Oh hehehehhe OPps
Can you switch the arms between this and Battle Blades? Please reply! I don't want to buy this thinking I can, and then not be able to...
i know it has been over 9 years since this was posted
but the arms of shoulder cannon bumblebee work on him
@@KilosFoxo ur not alone
I remember getting this for my 10th birthday at Tesco for 19.99 and i loved it, it was the last one on stock but i have lost it to time but i feel i could get this for pretty cheap nowadays
@optibotimus Link? Or is there one on your channel?
If you're willing to add some custom paints it easily becomes one of the best deluxe Bumblebee figures we've ever gotten imo.
I just got studio series 74 and wonder if I can use some of the parts from this figure in it.
deluxe transformers 1 bumblbee had the best back
rockingbro I got that bumblebee no joke but I lost his right door now he doesn't look cool
.
Shazam zombie 2880 i lost both his wheels😟
rockingbro ikr doesnt have the huge backpack like the others

Jude from microwave society sent me. I have arrived.
I got that Dark of The Moon Bumblebee from Universal Studios Hollywood and it says Transformers “Revenge Of The Fallen”
Welcome to the optimotimus amazing intro review
Wow
try a different paint job bumblebee-black with flaming yellow
you mean cyber fire bumblebee?
i personaly wasnt going to pick this up until i saw peaugh and optibotimus's review of bumblebee
I recently found this one at a garage sale, unfortunately the Canon was missing.
Sad
Hm...
E B A Y
I love the different bumblebee molds. I think I'll be picking this and the nitro one up
Got this on my trip to Florida a few days ago and I love it
I like this type of head, the other one looks like he is a giraffe
Cool review, Optibotimus. Still can't wait to meet you at Botcon 2011.

I would take out the racing mech and the tail myself
I actually really like the spoiler
I really wish The AOT Toys were a little bit same as the DOTM toys
I have this exact figure and I hate that the backpack doesn't tab into anything or that the windows cant be "customized"
Wait... In your Megatron reverens you Said that comparing Bumblebee to the previos version id not fair! And YOU did exactly that!
Came from Microwave Society ❤😂😂 great video
This is one of those transformers I'd keep in vehicle mode
I used to have this figure but I accidently broke the door and I don't know where or what happened to it so I replaced it with the r.i.d bumblebee from transformers prime
I'm sad now I remember having this bumblebee and taking him everywhere! I dropped him and he broke in two my heart is still broken or he's someq out there hopefully
Here 9 years later and I still have mine on display
I definetely like this one. I like the car mode, and that mesh in the windows is a cool feature. It kind of cracks me up when you say SS Camaro, its a Camaro SS LOL but to each his own on how to say it, it all means the same. Nice review, and I sure hope to get this one.
I had him but I lost him going to find him
@Taedon 18 i think hes still looking
Third Transformers Movie Bumblebee
I have the cyberfire bumblebee which is a repaint of the deluxe one
Just got this figure at Universal Studios Hollywood. Didn’t even know they sold him, lots of him.
I got it.If you put it in car mode and lift up the back part of the roof than look in the roof part of it and you'll see two small canons(tip)
This Bumblebee may seem small, but you do have to remember that Battle Blades BB is a very big Deluxe.
This guys gonna be my first transformer! Since I'm into Lego too and I'm turning 14. I still like playing with these ttypes of things I'll get bumblebee (this one) and shockwave
I'm actually thinking of buying one of these in 2018...
They still sell this version on universal studios.com
Same!
I want one in 2020
I just ordered one off of ebay for under $20 bucks myself.
i totally agree about the small window thing on both sides i just bought the black and yellow edition and it just doesnt look great if you flip the windows up it looks totally badass
looks gorgeous imo. The nice backpack at least doesn't look as back heavy as the human alliance figures.
i got this for christmas last year but instead of a dark if the moon logo it said universal studios exclusive 🤔
Wow. That’s even better than dotm. Idk if you’ve ever been to universal studios but it’s like a pg13 version of Disney land. I’ve bought transformers there and they’re really expensive . One time I bough 2 regular sized transformers one of which was a blue race car and a purple jet, it was $80.

to add extra colors, I just use sharpie markers. the metallic silver one is especially useful.
This is favorite bumblebee figure besides cyberfire bumblebee
i just got this guy today at sears along with roadbuster and crankcase
I just got this figure yesterday and you're right about the back. it kind of leaves n empty space. The problem I'm having is that the chest piece doesn't lock in so it stays loose which is annoying. Still, a great figure and, as usual, a great toy review :)
Hey man what's the size comparison with the studio series line?
The DOTM version is much bigger than the studio series version
Why are people sick of bumblebee toys if you dont want it dont get it!!
I cut the mesh off, it looks so much better :) then flipped up the windows on the doors and they close perfectly ,now I have to cut the mesh off Cyberfire Bumblebee LMFAO! The only problem though, is there's a gap behind the windows, side windows are to small and windows are straight up not angled.You will notice if you compare the doors to Concept Camaro Bumblebee
what did you cut them with?
@optibotimus actually there are some images of nitro bumblebee
but you are right about the rest of the stuff you said
my favorite deluxe bumblebee of all time
I love the car mode. The SS is a beautifully designed car.
Congrats your comment has been 12 years ago
I just snapped the racing mesh off but it didn't make much of a diffirence
I can’t BELIEVE Amazon still had one.
Okay Paul, I can't decide which Bumblebee to get, I was wondering if i should wait and get the leader class DOTM, or the deluxe class, or if I should go ahead and get the battle blades?
i did not know bumblebee could have shoulder canons.thanks!!!
@optibotimus i think he means if the battle blades arms in the dark of the moon bumblebe would fit(if you swaped the arms the bb bumblebee arms goes to the dark of the moon no?)
Can battle blade Bumblebee’s arms fit well in the new Dark of the Moon Bumblebee vehicle mode or are the weapons on them to large.
Do you know a way to transform battle blades bumblebee where the wheels don't push against the door?
@optibotimus The fact doesn't change it's another minus point compared to the Battle Blades version lol. Battle Blades is probably the best so far, the only downsides it had are being almost as tall as a Voyager figure ((Making it tall for a character known to be the little guy)), the wrists, and lack of some paint details.
LOVE the mechtech weapon. I could probably custom paint it myself for some detail.
I have this bumblebee toy and after watching this video i m very happy that i bought it😀😀😀
I did cut the mesh, it look A LOT better man!
I have a similar variant. Mine has the same casting and the game gun, but is painted black with yellow flames, starting yellow at the front and leading, or "flaming", to a solid black rear half of the car.
you mean the black and yellow one with lightning I have it too
Both of you mean Cyberfire Bumblebee, I also have him, apparently he's a special edition or some edition and rare, maybe.
+ChaosDrago yeah I found that out last month
the reason why hasbro put the nascar net instead of a window is because the windows don't fit inside the car. I've tried cutting the nascar net and folding up the windows and it didn't fit.
Cool I'll order today the same bumblebee it's cool, I like my favorite transformer :)
Me too, in 2019
Yep I’m 13 and upsessed with the transformers and playing with them. Optibotimus, peaugh, and emgo are a big part of that. I was looking to buy some transformers this weekend I might get this deluxe bumblebee.
Which figure do you like better, this BB or the new Barricade?
i remember i've had this when i was a kid, face was also a metal color.
The yellow hip piece on his right leg doesnt fold in all the way on mine
i just wondering if you cut off the racing window to make the clear windows can goes down and make them more "REGULER" .obviously i kinda hate with those windows racing actually

Hey ! thanks for the vid ! can you help me decide ? should i but dark DOTM version or ROTF version ? i kinda like both, but wich one is better ?
The thing I hated most about this figure was how useless the windows were on his doors. I don't recall Bee having those racing nets in his windows. I would love this figure if the windows were usable
Would you think it's possible to shave or cut off the mesh to allow the windows to close? I'm a little ticked at the mest.
This Bee has what the Brits call the "Boy Racer" look. More mature... right, Mr. Bay.
An interesting figure overall. Were this MY figure, and I did not like the mesh "windows", I would just cut them off and raise the windows. End of story. That being said, I realize not everyone is comfortable cutting off a portion of a figure's original molding. Your mileage may vary.

If you haven't noticed this, the DOTM Deluxe BB has the same mold. he doesn't even have exclusive arms .-.

Thanks for teaching how to transform it
this bumblebee is pretty cool and nicely improved although i actually kind of like rotf bumblebee hand cannon like in the movie but still nice figure
Witch do you like more?
@optibotimus maybe the clip points you can attach recon ironhide's weapons
Where do you get these figures? Where I live they aren't in stores yet. Thanks.
Great review as always!!!! He looks like he's wearing a mud pack with that silver head...
