[[Image:Beachcomber sawyer.png|right|thumb|250px| '''Hippies.''' They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.]]

'''Beachcomber''' has a hard time reconciling his love of peace and freedom for all creatures with the need to combat those who threaten it. Furthermore, however just the cause for which it was fought, the gruesome and destructive aftermath of any battle sickens him to the spark.

Sometimes, when the internal struggle gets too heavy, he simply has to wander into the wilderness and cleanse his soul. Even there, far from civilization, he sometimes finds strange substances to aid the Autobot cause, for Beachcomber is a skilled naturalist, and geology is his specialty, man. He often tries to preserve or even to hide these discoveries, but he has seen too much evil done by the ruthless Decepticons to conceal any possible source of aid completely from his allies.

Beachcomber's geology tools include a wide array of sensors (magnetic, seismic, sonic, infrared) and a 'sonic pick' which can cut through rock. Beachcomber can use his magnetic sensors to navigate like a compass, but local magnetic disturbances can cause this to lead him astray. His sonic probes possess only limited range. 

Beachcomber is neither very fast nor very strong, and his antiwar sentiments gain him little respect from the more martial of the Autobots, yet he is agile and skilled in a fight, and his courage is beyond all reproach.

[[Image:beachcomber_with_bird.jpg|right|thumb|He talks to the animals.]]
He showed up out of nowhere in Season 2. Once he found a lagoon full of [[Electrum]].

He also appeared in group shots from time to time.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
Beachcomber was a member of [[Perceptor (G1) |Perceptor's]] resistance cell on Cybertron, and with several comrades was accidentally transported to [[Earth]] after the raid on [[Darkmount]].

===Find Your Fate Junior===
{{Storylink|Attack of the Insecticons|AOTI}}
Beachcomer had to find a path to the surface from the cave system the Autobots were trapped in. He explored the system of underground lakes, marveling at the many strange and things that lived there. While recharging the [[Sun-Pak]] on the surface, he was attacked by [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], and had to be saved by [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]. How humiliating.

''In the 'unsuccessful' ending to this [[multipath adventure]], Beachcomber became lost when his magnetic sensors erroneously led him directly to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He did not regret this error for long.''

{{Storylink|Earthquake}}
Beachcomber discovered [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] practicing his earthquakes near a concealed base, and learned of a Decepticon plan to destroy nearby [[Central City]].

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] decides that such grave news requires a pinpoint response with ''utmost'' secrecy. ...so he sends the recklessly impulsive [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], the bombastic [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], and Beachcomber to babysit the other two.

===Generation 1===
* '''Beachcomber''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-63'''

Beachcombers G1 figure was one of the smaller figures of the line standing a mere three inches tall. He's surprisingly show and comic accurate however. Dark blue makes up his legs, arms, and head, with grey for the upper legs and silver for the chest. He has limited articulation having only shoulder and knee joints. The figure came with no weapons. The figure came in several variants, one with Hasbro stamped across the left arm and one without (both of these versions had the Takara stamp on the back of the head), with and without the rubsign which had begun to appear that year, as well as with and without the minispy figures that debuted the rubsigns and were packaged with the various mini cars.

===Generation 2===
* '''Beachcomber''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

Generation 2 Beachcomber used the exact same mold as his G1 counterpart, however this time around the blue was replaced with a chrome green and the grey of the upper legs and lamps was replaced with neon red, the silver of the main body remained the same. This version had the copyright information stamped on its left arm. A rare variant exists that may have been a testshot run with grey legs. These figures were apparently given out internally by Hasbro as Christmas ornaments as they have been found bagged with a string attached and a card reading "Transformers Christmas ornament" on one side and "Merry Christmas from the Boys' Toys Marketing" on the other.

Dark blue makes up his legs, arms, and head, with grey for the upper legs and silver for the chest. He has limited articulation having only shoulder and knee joints. The figure came with no weapons. He was released in 1985 as part of the second year of toys and had at least two variants, one with Hasbro stamped across the left arm and one without, both versions had the Takara stamp on the back of the head. Also he came with and without the rubsign which had begun to appear that year as well as with and without the minispy figures that debuted the rubsigns and were packaged with the various mini cars.

===Generation 2===
* '''Beachcomber''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

Generation 2 Beachcomber used the exact same mold as his G1 counterpart, however this time around the blue was replaced with a chrome green and the grey of the upper legs and lamps was replaced with neon red, the silver of the main body remained the same. This version had the copyright information stamped on its left arm. A rare variant exists that may have been a testshot run with grey legs. These figures were apparently given out internally by Hasbro as Christmas ornaments as they have been found bagged with a string attached and a card reading "Merry Christmas from the Boys' Toys Marketing"

Beachcomber (G1)

:''Beachcomber is an [[Autobot]] from [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Beachcomber sawyer.png|right|thumb|250px| '''Hippies.''' They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.]]

'''Beachcomber''' has a hard time reconciling his love of peace and freedom for all creatures with the need to combat those who threaten it. Furthermore, however just the cause for which it was fought, the gruesome and destructive aftermath of any battle sickens him to the spark.

Sometimes, when the internal struggle gets too heavy, he simply has to wander into the wilderness and cleanse his soul. Even there, far from civilization, he sometimes finds strange substances to aid the Autobot cause, for Beachcomber is a skilled naturalist, and geology is his specialty, man. He often tries to preserve or even to hide these discoveries, but he has seen too much evil done by the ruthless Decepticons to conceal any possible source of aid completely from his allies.

Beachcomber's geology tools include a wide array of sensors (magnetic, seismic, sonic, infared) and a 'sonic pick' which can cut through rock. Beachcomber can use his mangetic sensors to navigate like a compass, but local magnetic disturbances can cause this to lead him astray. His sonic probes posess only limited range. 

Beachcomber is neither very fast nor very strong, and his antiwar sentiments gain him little respect from the more martial of the Autobots, yet he is agile and skilled in a fight, and his courage is beyond all reproach.

Iceberg

2006-12-24T04:44:47Z

68.12.116.68: /* Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics */

:''Iceberg is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]]''

[[Image:IcebergCard.jpg|thumb|250px|can't reach toes... too many nutty buddies... and no toes...]]

'''Iceberg''' isn't just physically suited for cold-weather and arctic missions. He ''loves'' the cold. Be it trekking through a blizzard in Siberia or simply enjoying a drive through a human settlement at [[Christmas]]time (he's developed a fondness for the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year), Iceberg is always ready, willing and able to get out there.

Though his teammates might say he's a little ''too'' eager. More than once he's managed to get the entire [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] assigned to some frigid mission, where he has a clear advantage his teammates don't share. Iceberg isn't above chicanery to get his way...even if his warm-weather-loving teammate [[Dune Runner]] ends up complaining the whole time.

''Japanese name'': '''Junk'''

==Fiction==
[[Image:Iceberg-anime.jpg|left|thumb|Junk in the trunk.]]
===Animated conitnuity===
====Armada====
Iceberg is shown as one of the Mini-Cons abord the ''[[Axalon (Armada)|Axalon]]'' when the [[Autobot]]s depart for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to battle [[Unicron]].

''('''Note''': Alexis calls Iceberg "Junk", his Japanese name. Just a dub-flub, move along, people.)''

{{-}}
===Comics continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics====
Iceberg was one of the many Mini-Cons stationed on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (planet)|Moon]] for millenia. When the [[Decepticon]]s invaded, the Adventure Team were part of the first wave of defense against them. However, due to [[Leader-1]] and [[Dualor]]'s fighting, the base's defenses were destroyed, and the entire installation had to be abandoned. The Mini-Cons escaped to Earth in a series of emergency rocket-pods.

Later, after (temporarily) siding with the Autobots, the Adventure Team was dispatched to Alaska in order to retrieve the last Mini-Con escape pod from the Moonbase. However, when the team started digging, they were interrupted by [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], then the super-powered [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], who scattered the team. Iceberg was swept away from a wave caused by Thrust's impact with the water, but was recovered by [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] when Autobot reinforcements arrived.

The whole of the Earth-based Mini-Con force gathered in Arizona's Black Mesa to take the [[space bridge]] back to Cybertron to fight off the approaching Unicron. Presumably he was among the Mini-Cons at [[the Loop]] in [[Cyber City]], giving his power to the [[Mini-Con Matrix]] that dealt the critical blow to Unicron.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Adventure Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-16'''

: Iceberg transforms into a treaded arctic plow with serrated plow and crane-arm. A gear-wheel mechanism on his vehicle-mode underside makes the outer sections of his plow scissor inward slightly when he is rolled along a smooth surface. This feature can also be activated by attaching him to the gear-wheel mechanism on the underside of the ''Armada'' Cyclonus mold. He was normally only available in a three-pack with his teammates [[Dune Runner]] and [[Ransack (Armada)|Ransack]].

: This mold was also used to make ''Armada'' [[Armorhide (Armada)|Armorhide]], [[Scattorbrain]], and [[Spoil]].

*'''Adventure Microns X-Dimension''' (Basic, 2003)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-19'''

: A limited-edition (yet still standard retail) "[[X-Dimension]]" [[redeco]] of the Adventure Team was released in Japan. For this version, Iceberg has a bright yellow deco with warning stripes on his tread-guards.

*'''Powerlinx Cyclonus with Crumplezone and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)
*'''Powerlinx Hot Shot with Jolt and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale. Each of the Adventure Team Mini-Cons could come packaged with either [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Powerlinx Cyclonus]] or [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Powerlinx Hot Shot]].

===Energon===
*'''Adventure Mini-Con Team & Sea Mini-Con Team'''

: An unaltered version of the original Adventure Team was released as part of an ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]''-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the [[Sea Mini-Con Team]].

===Unreleased===
: Test-shots of a slightly-altered Adventure Team have popped up from various sources. It's possible this was intended to be a mid-series deco-change for the team, though it looks unfinished at best. Not only does the team have the ''exact'' same [[paint application]] layouts in the exact same ''colors'' as the original, but Iceberg's plastic is barely changed, this version being a slightly-brighter orange.
