Good match. Sideswipe is bigger and much faster. But from what we've seen so far Bumblebee has a much mor diversified arsenal. Bee has mortars, a plasma cannon, and a magnetic field generator. Sideswipe has his bazooka tubes and his duel battle blades. Sideswipe is definately more agile. But we've seen Bumblebee take on three Decepticons throughout the series in H2H combat. He's beaten them all with relative ease. I'll have to with Bumblebee for now.
Bumbleebee, easy. Better fighter going by onscreen feats. He fights larger foes, uses more combos, fights multiple opponents, uses a Bruce Lee-esque step-kick and skins a cat.

SS pwning that Decepticon in Fallen was pretty uber pwnage, Rob. He cut it in half yo.
While it was nice and flashy for the screen, Sideways was in car form and speeding away. BB ain't doing that.
My clip of BB being a total bad-ass and taking out larger/tougher opponents and that cat stands.

Problem here is that BB got MUCH more screen time than SS, he had more kills, therefore you are assuming he is better. That one kill SS made was more impressive than any BB kill.
While I agree with Rob in saying that we've seen more fights from Bee. You must also take into account what Rogue saying in that none of the other Autobots get any other screentime except Prime.
We haven't seen much of Ratchet and Ironhide either. No hesitation from me in confirming there superior to Bee.

Historically Sideswipe will have always been the more effective warrior..
But since they botched the characterisation in this version horribly,
and instead of having the Autobot equivalent of Scrappy doo, they portray him more as the equivalent of someone as tough and big as Ironhide originally was.
(Rendering Ironhide irrelevant in the process.)
