I just brought this at my local store. Not knowing much about the character I found him very appealing. When looking at his head I get vibes of Elvis Presley & his haircut 😂 I love his head & face particularly his silver eye's visor. I read his bio on a Transformers Fan Page Beachcomber: He's primary function is a Geologist, who likes Nature & the Enviroment. He has a strong passion for Fauna & Flora. He Loves to explore all Types of topography & landscapes, Desert & Costal Terrains He whole heartedly dislikes warfare and & its bloody after-effects, He prefers peace and tranquilly above all else. He's Highly intelligent yet lacks physical strength. He is very kind, warm, gentle and caring to all others. He has a fun loving, laid back & care free attitude & spirit. He posseses a vast range of different sensors, detectors, & x-rays. As an Autobot Transformer..........,one of the good guys. All in All I think he's a pretty cool guy & really cute. I have him on a display shelf. It gives me a happy feeling knowing Someone of his nature is in my mancave. 😀😄😁 I Love your review.
The only Mini Autobot I ever owned and he is a great toy and character. I found an unopened POTP Beachcomber for $8.00! Should be here soon, can’t wait. Remember, G1 Beachcomber’s legs clicks out before unfolding them. He’s a tall Mini.
Jazz, Hot Shot, Drift, Beachcomber, Bulkhead, Warpath, Red Alert and many others need to return. Jazz and Red Alert were present in the new TFONE Movie and Jazz while have voice lines in the movie so LETS GOO. And Beachcomber and of course Jazz return in the Skybounds “Energon Universe” and I love it. Drift hasn’t been seen since TF5 and the IDW Comics. What I am getting at is I wish many of these characters returned in a new Series and/or movies.
The ONE thing I don't really like about Beachcomber is actually something to do with how designers and such describe his weapons- They always say "It's a machine gun" or any kind of INCREDIBLY lethat sounding weapon, but that doesn't work for who he is. Beachcomber is one of my favorite autobots, and TBH, I personally actually call the weapon that Beachcomber comes with an "Electrostatic SMG". put simply, it's a rapid fire stun blaster, Something that is perfect for Beachcomber because he's a pacifist! Edit: For any NEW collectors, or hell, even for collectors who didn't know, the parrot is from the G1 episode "Golden Lagoon". Speaking of which, I kinda wish they gave him his golden hand, but I guess that's just something I'll have to customize- Edit 2: I also HEAVILY agree with your rant about hollowness. For me personally, as long as it isn't anywhere significant, I DO NOT care!
There's one other thing you forgot to mention about the gun on Legacy Beachcomber, that being the gun has a C-clip, so you can hook it onto the roll cage in vehicle mode
I think the reason why people complain about the hollowness is because you're paying 25 dollars for a toy that let's be honest as much as we love beachcomber and this toy, he should've been sold at 16 dollars
I recognize the one with the little gun on top of the vehicle mode. I think I have a different color of that mold. I don't remember the name, but the one I have is mostly a sandy tan color with a bit of orange.
The two circular details on his back are cleverly hidden 5mm ports. Also, I just remove the leg panels because I hate them that much. 10/10 would buy again. Also the gun can clip onto the rollcage, which shouldve been the actual Evo fusion gimmick.
No Way. Hollowness has definitely gotten WAY worse in the past 10 years. Just compare the figures and you can see most toys becoming clearly more hollow. Granted in legacy beachcomber it ain't that bad, but in quite a few other figures it's glaring and unsightly.
I feel like the Unicron trilogy, Cybertron especially, spoiled us rotten with big, solid, clicky robot toys, cuz I feel they were the exception, not the rule. Sure some hollow parts can be a bit bad, but if you're looking for perfect looking robots out of Transformers, it's never gunna happen. They're three toys in one- a figure, a puzzle, and an alternate mode. I am curious though, which figures do you feel are so hollow that an upgrade kit is REALLY needed for them? I wanna see if I can be converted to your side! lol
A shame nobody in modern media seems to know what to do with him, Beachcomber would be cool to see again
ROTB Wheeljack could have easily been Beachcomber honestly. Just color him blue instead. lol
@@Jcc2224 too bad nobody remebered him enough to make that idea happen

8:54 see, the only time that hollowness really bugs me is when it's a large and very visible hole, like on Siege Impactor's shins

What about Seaspray?
The fact that the universe figure is just a halo warthog is so cool
I am really excited to get this Beachcomber he is definitely one of my favorite Transformers.

beachcomber has been one of my fav characters glad i finally got the legacy one
My first ever Transformer; special indeed. Bought this one right away.
you're telling me a transformer just casually has SUNGLASSES??? I need that little guy in my life.
I had not noticed that the Legacy Evolution figure is the first Beachcomber to have a front bumper.
They need to make a legacy seaspray to go with him, since we now have beachcomber and cosmo
Think potp version was the best legends figure they ever made
“Fortress Maximus has xxx himself” (best scorponok quote)
That's exactly what CAME into my head (I'm sorry) lol
@@Jcc2224 I had a feeling that was the quote. (Edit: that’s a PUNNY JOKE)
Beachcomber has _come_ himself hurhurhurhurhur
the new deluxe is a pretty solid one if you ask me!
There's one other thing you forgot to mention about the gun on Legacy Beachcomber, that being the gun has a C-clip, so you can hook it onto the roll cage in vehicle mode
The g1 beachcomber toy is like the most normal looking minibot

Agreed. Why bother on some minor cost-cutting measures unless it actually hinders the structural integrity of the toy?
I think the reason why people complain about the hollowness is because you're paying 25 dollars for a toy that let's be honest as much as we love beachcomber and this toy, he should've been sold at 16 dollars

I am planning on getting the new Beachcomber. He really looks amazing!
Omg someone who likes beachcomber as much as me why does no one love him
The two circular details on his back are cleverly hidden 5mm ports. Also, I just remove the leg panels because I hate them that much. 10/10 would buy again. Also the gun can clip onto the rollcage, which shouldve been the actual Evo fusion gimmick.
Unrelated, but the longer the legacy one exists, the lesser the potp one becomes.
They're 5mm, but they're WAY to shallow to be of any real use. Kind of a shame.
Go for the Energon and the ROTF ones!

What about the Transformers energon beachcomber
I mentioned him, I don't have it yet but I want it! lol
@@Jcc2224well I hope you find one
Can you make an updated transformers collection video
To people who say beachcomber shouldn’t have a gun, mega man X is a pacifist, and his ARM is a gun
People just assume he's like Andrew Garfield from Hacksaw Ridge and refuses to have a gun. lol
I own energon beachcomber
