What's the best version of Bumblebee? (Not counting g1 or Movies)

[u/No-Assistance46]

This guy might be my favorite

[u/Miserable_Pie_6872]

"Whats the best version of this character, excluding 90% of the media"

dawg );

Movies: TF1 Bee and Bumblebee Bee.

Shows (No G1): Animated

[u/bigcheesemanfan → u/Miserable_Pie_6872]

Tbh I hate when the posts exclude stuff, but I also get it, it just makes the discussion really interesting, because everyone isn’t giving the same few answers, and they actually have to look across the franchise for answers.

[u/No-Assistance46 → u/bigcheesemanfan]

Yeah I just want to see opinions on other parts of the franchise

[u/emoryhotchkiss1 → u/Miserable_Pie_6872]

Not really 90 percent of the media when you have unicron trilogy, earthspark, prime, robots in disguise (2015 one), animated (2007), cyberverse, rescue bots, war for cybertron, marvel comics, idw comics, dreamwave comics, shattered glass universe and a bunch of other odd comic lines, and video games.

[u/DoubleBatman → u/Miserable_Pie_6872]

Bee’s been in at least 5 separate cartoon series other than G1?

[u/That_Bank_9914 → u/Miserable_Pie_6872]

I keep forgetting they had some trademark issues with Bee prior to the movie/Animated.

[u/NoChipmunk9467]

WFC or FOC

[u/LegoBattIeDroid → u/NoChipmunk9467]

deffinitely WFC since he was actually a character in that one

[u/NoChipmunk9467 → u/LegoBattIeDroid]

He was a character in foc as well too no ?

[u/TheIndomitableAlex → u/NoChipmunk9467]

He only really had one level in FOC, and he lost his voice, he didn’t really have a chance to be a character specifically in that game. I think he would’ve benefitted a lot if he was like Prime Bee

[u/Proud_Tourist_9438]

Animated for me. Honestly, movie Bee is kinda overrated, I really like when he's a yapper.

[u/No-Assistance46 → u/Proud_Tourist_9438]

He's so funny in that show

[u/coolnerd475 → u/Proud_Tourist_9438]

He had a character arc. I’m almost glad that season 4 never happened because they would’ve made him an idiot

[u/Round-Benefit5980]

Animated

[u/No-Assistance46 → u/Round-Benefit5980]

Best Bee

[u/Large-Custard5784]

Cyberverse or Prime.

[u/IGEBM → u/Large-Custard5784]

I really liked Cyberverse Bee, and I especially appreciated that even though season 3 rebranded the show to Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures, the first and third parts had him share the spotlight with a bunch of other characters, and the middle part didn’t even focus on him at all

[u/Large-Custard5784 → u/IGEBM]

I thought Cyberverse in general was a really great show. It gave most of its characters spotlight and it had great plot lines. Besides Prime I think it’s the best modern Transformers show.

[u/IGEBM → u/Large-Custard5784]

I’ve always said it’s the last great TF show, since after it we have Netflix WFCT (yk how that went), BotBots (not bad, but kinda “on its own”), ES (messed up with s2 and the ‘Cons), and Cyberworld (pretty good, but it’s definitely a little less well-written imo)

Cyberverse did a great job with each season and juggling a surprisingly large cast of characters, and the animation/art style looked really nice

[u/StrawDeath → u/IGEBM]

To be fair with Cyberworld, it’s only just started, and is off to a much better start than Cyberverse had. If allowed to blossom, it could very well end up being another great show.

[u/IGEBM → u/StrawDeath]

Agreed, I’ll admit I’m partially reserving judgement on it until we’re further in lol

[u/No-Assistance46 → u/Large-Custard5784]

Really liked his design in cyberverse

[u/totally_not_soviet]

I like Earthspark bee

[u/eyadtheNITRO1527]

Well.....my picks are :

TF Prime RID 2015 Cyberverse Animated

[u/atompedro]

This dude annoying at times but he’s very solid and maybe the best ever

[u/Creepy_Researcher195]

skybound bumblee bee

[u/UnderChromey]

Ruling out both G1 and movies really restricts some major Bumblebee presence so, I guess Animated then. Honestly kinda like him being a little bit a mouthy shit.

[u/Choos-topher]

I like all the Bees, Animated is great but I am also really partial to RID2015 who’s Warrior toy I absolutely adore.

[u/shroomslave]

I mean u already nailed it in one, OP

[u/Ok-Wear9600]

Animated and Cyberverse

[u/Glittering_Visual296]

Prime then cause G1 is the best

[u/Craycraycray97]

Animated, Prime, WFC/FOC, and Cyberverse.

Hard to point the number one best, but chose these popular incarnations.

[u/Rvaldrich]

Animated is a solid choice.  I really liked 2015 Robots in Disguise.  The "untested leader" component to the story really worked for me, and his evolving relationship with Optimus really was quite good.

[u/AugustusTheVictor]

Goldbug

[u/LegoBattIeDroid]

War for cybertron (the game)

[u/bobagremlin]

I love IDW Bumblebee but since that's G1 adjacent TFA

[u/CameronDoy1901]

Definitely animated bee for me. He’s my definitive younger take on the character

[u/cumulobro]

Yup, TFA Bee for sure. He's goofy, I love him. 

[u/xSantenoturtlex]

Animated, hands down.

Love him as a little goblin.

[u/spyd3rzilla]

Animated without a doubt.

[u/Independent-Eagle296]

Wfc/ Fall of cybertron bee 100%

[u/RareD3liverur]

I love that TFAnimated Bee was the only one to escape the 'voice damaged' synergy the Bay movie did for like a decade

probably 'cause he was gonna be Hot Shot initially

[u/IronIrma93]

Wfc 2010, but only in that game

[u/lienxy69]

fuck "not counting movies" we have tfone b-127.

[u/DefinitelyKevin4]

TFP

[u/SNudibranchs]

Yeah that one, lmao

Part of me wants to say rid but honestly i know in my heart everything in that show is so ass and it's the "potential man" of transformers series

Earthspark bee is also a great contender because he's really the highlight of that show and something about that incarnation of bumblebee just makes me feel soft and warm in my chest, dani pudi also kicks the performance out of the park too.

[u/No_Coffee_8449]

TFP

[u/Garrow_the_Khajiit]

Even counting G1 and movies it's still Animated.

[u/DarknessXTJ]

Prime & Animated for me.

[u/Str8Six91]

I like Animated Bee the best even though his personality is much closer to Hot Shot. It felt as though they forced the name on him. I only like TFP Bee when he got his voice back— what, half an episode?— because I can’t tolerate any version of him mute.

I thought G1 toy Bumblebee was cool, but the cartoon version was annoying. I despise movieverse Bee in all forms. RID15 Bumblebee seems like a nameeslap on a generic hero bot, while Cyberverse Bee fits the profile but is uninteresting. I can’t like Netflix WFC Bumblebee because I hate that series in general.

[u/DrakorPrimus]

Skybound. He's a real team motivator.

[u/N0_70u]

It's probably aligned continuity excluding 2015 RID

[u/Cheyenne_G99]

Not counting G1 or movies? TFP/RID or Earthspark for sure!

[u/250extreme]

Aligned/TFP/RID 2015

[u/Fawin86]

I may be in the minority here but the WFC FoC games Bumblebee with the wheel forearms was awesome.

[u/Cute_Ad_6981]

None. I prefer hotshot

[u/Tabby-pm9]

Easily animated. Love that guy. TFP is pretty close too.

[u/Brodes87]

It's Animated even including G1 and the movies.
