Beachcomber is such a chill guy. He may be a peaceful Autobot, but he's also not to be underestimated, especially in his Skybound debut.

@@bradensmith8682 Nice too see Skybound gave him a big hero moment!

This guy sure is nice-looking and amiable. He carrying a lot of sad things with himself ( damage of war actions, problematic of being pacifist ) and The Golden Lagoon was a pretty heavy and scary episode. His dead-inside " We won..." and mocking heroic music in the finale is alone one of the greatest scenes of the G1 cartoon... ...But at the same time, he can be a pretty funny character with wacky elements. Like, his brief stunt as a Disney princess. Or some groovy phases. And with his recent Skybound role it's even better : so, they say that during the entire history of humanity there was a robo-hippie just staring at Earth from the Moon ? Whaaat... Beachcomber actually has this dualism with both serious and not-so-serious sides. It's make him more complex Autobot Thank for your work ❤❤❤

@@Timeliner2004TF Beachcombers a fun little guy! Its nice to see other bots in the 84-85 cast outside of the A listers are getting attention!

As a whole, with the acception of his altmode, Beatchcomber was never my favorite. But like with any group of characters, for every soldier or a warrior, you may get a pacifist or "brain over brawn" type, to balance the things out. As for his other figures, from what I remember, besides your picks, Beatchcomber also got a repaint in Energon and RotF from their avaiable Dune cars. So, if anything, you have a dicent pool of options to pick from (especially with his new Legacy mold).

@@dedalionarts6077 yup, beachcomber has his fair share of Homages and interpretations in other continuities! Maybe one day ill do a vid on oddball repaint/homage figures, like the GDO line.
