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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
would you recomend this one? i mean i know most of people prefers the battle blades version over any other bumblebee and i dont really care about size, i always loved the rid deluxes and then came armada, energon, and so on, and i got the feelling they where to big, even the movie deluxe ones(sometimes)
hey optibotimus if u don't mind answering cuz u might done it some where else, what would you say is the best bumblebee movie mode action figure that i can get??? just don't wanna waste some money testing a bunch of them out.. so please respond!!!
Ok,I'm confused. I LOVE movie accuracy,and don't have Bat.Blades BB,and don't intend to,and I haven't gotten DOTM Starscream.So should I get this BB,or should I get Thundercracker? Or Shockwave? ... 2 anyone,your opinion is your appreaciated.
I like your observations. I got the Battle Blade, but I like the look of the Dotm bee. Let me ask for your personal opinion on this: What about the quality of the plastic between HFTD Battle blade bee and the DOTM deluxe bee? Are they so different?
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.
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)???
@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?
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 got this figure for my birthday back in 2011, now I can't find a barricade figure for my bumblebee, I think my only option is the studio series barricade but that figure is way smaller than the dotm version :c it simply wouldn't look right having those figures together and I don't want to buy the horrible bumblubee figure from ss
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
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.
@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?)
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
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.
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.
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
i just wish there was someway to to lock the 2 modes of his gun cuz i liek the second mode of hs gun better its jsut says more bumblebee but a more rifle style of of his plasma cannon
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.
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
Okay. The arms may be smaller, but CAN you do it? Are the balljoints the same size?
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!!
Happy to help!
Lmao I’m watching their vid rn and it led me here
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
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
@optibotimus Link? Or is there one on your channel?
This whole era of transformers figures was my introduction to the concept of shrinkflation.
6:14 Best Laugh ever!:)
Oh hehehehhe OPps
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.
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 Thanks!
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
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

As far as the mesh racing windows go, just break those damn things off, man. Then you can use the regular windows.
try a different paint job bumblebee-black with flaming yellow
you mean cyber fire bumblebee?
I got that Dark of The Moon Bumblebee from Universal Studios Hollywood and it says Transformers “Revenge Of The Fallen”
microwave society brought me here. now this review can live in my head as well
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.
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 recently found this one at a garage sale, unfortunately the Canon was missing.
Sad
Hm...
E B A Y
I really wish The AOT Toys were a little bit same as the DOTM toys
Welcome to the optimotimus amazing intro review
Wow
I like this type of head, the other one looks like he is a giraffe
I would take out the racing mech and the tail myself
I actually really like the spoiler
I have this exact figure and I hate that the backpack doesn't tab into anything or that the windows cant be "customized"
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.
Do you know a way to transform battle blades bumblebee where the wheels don't push against the door?
Wait... In your Megatron reverens you Said that comparing Bumblebee to the previos version id not fair! And YOU did exactly that!
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.
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?
You havent reviewed the leader class? did you skip out on it or is it a review still in the making?
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.
Hey man what's the size comparison with the studio series line?
The DOTM version is much bigger than the studio series version
I love the different bumblebee molds. I think I'll be picking this and the nitro one up
i personaly wasnt going to pick this up until i saw peaugh and optibotimus's review of 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
Jude from microwave society sent me. I have arrived.
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.
@@4yoursoul915 woke
Can you take nitro bumblebee's arms and swap them with dotm deluxe bee?
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 Bumblebee may seem small, but you do have to remember that Battle Blades BB is a very big Deluxe.
Where do you get these figures? Where I live they aren't in stores yet. Thanks.
Just got this figure at Universal Studios Hollywood. Didn’t even know they sold him, lots of him.
Got this on my trip to Florida a few days ago and I love it
would you recomend this one? i mean i know most of people prefers the battle blades version over any other bumblebee
and i dont really care about size, i always loved the rid deluxes and then came armada, energon, and so on, and i got the feelling they where to big, even the movie deluxe ones(sometimes)
I just snapped the racing mesh off but it didn't make much of a diffirence
I don't know if I should get this bumblebee or the human alliance bumblebee
so is the battle blades bumblebee really the best one?
This is favorite bumblebee figure besides cyberfire bumblebee
Which figure do you like better, this BB or the new Barricade?
hey optibotimus if u don't mind answering cuz u might done it some where else, what would you say is the best bumblebee movie mode action figure that i can get??? just don't wanna waste some money testing a bunch of them out.. so please respond!!!
do you have the Dark of The Moon Deluxe Sideswipe? if you do, could you review it? im on the fence as to if i should get it or not
can you swap the heads with battle blades bumblebee
angel sniper I don't think so, because the heads are different sizes.
GenjiSan yes you can
kill me now Wait, really?!
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 ?
@optibotimus are you going to get cyberfire bumblebee?
This is one of those transformers I'd keep in vehicle mode
HI OPTIBOTIMUS, I just bought Bumblebe and it broked in the spring loaded gap do you have any advices on that?
Ok,I'm confused. I LOVE movie accuracy,and don't have Bat.Blades BB,and don't intend to,and I haven't gotten DOTM Starscream.So should I get this BB,or should I get Thundercracker? Or Shockwave? ... 2 anyone,your opinion is your appreaciated.
I like your observations. I got the Battle Blade, but I like the look of the Dotm bee. Let me ask for your personal opinion on this: What about the quality of the plastic between HFTD Battle blade bee and the DOTM deluxe bee? Are they so different?
If takara made a repaint of this, would you pick it up?
optibotimus i have a little problem with bumblebee the chest piece is a little hard for me the little tab in his chest i connect it
I have this but i need another because im replacing mines got every thing except the pullout part rhats jamed
Is the racing mesh vital or could it be...modded away?
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.

@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?
@optibotimus oh cool but do u get to keep them or do have to give it back to hasbro
@theSNegret is the plastic broken or the spring out of place
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 got this figure for my birthday back in 2011, now I can't find a barricade figure for my bumblebee, I think my only option is the studio series barricade but that figure is way smaller than the dotm version :c
it simply wouldn't look right having those figures together and I don't want to buy the horrible bumblubee figure from ss
I had him but I lost him going to find him
@Taedon 18 i think hes still looking
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 had this same bumblebee but it had some kind of big jet boosters in the back. Do know the name so I can search it on youtube?
ZipperedSoup 69 oh the nitro bumblebee from dark of the moon
@@ecs1_lmw838 Yeah I had that now I miss it xD
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?
does he has the helmet armor ?
LIT no I have this toy
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
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)
which is better, HFTD bumblebee or this one?
@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?)
i just got this guy today at sears along with roadbuster and crankcase
one question: isn't the universal exclusive bumblebee exactly the same?
Starscream 101 I think so?? I'm picking up the Universal Bee tomorrow actually
yes except packaging is different
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
looks gorgeous imo. The nice backpack at least doesn't look as back heavy as the human alliance figures.
where do you buy your figures ?
@optibotimus please reply how do you do your start with the music
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.
I have the cyberfire bumblebee which is a repaint of the deluxe one
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.
Where is your deluxe class videos for the other two bumblebee's where you swap them out and such? or was that you?
where did you get the dotm transformers.
1: Is this official (i.e. not stolen)?
2. Were ANY parts on this figure from other Bumblebees, or are ALL of the pieces new?
Where can I buy this
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
i just wish there was someway to to lock the 2 modes of his gun cuz i liek the second mode of hs gun better its jsut says more bumblebee but a more rifle style of of his plasma cannon

can you cut the racing mesh off with really sharp scissors
I have a question: can his helmet / head in battle shape up.
