'''Beachcomber''' is a twitchy, nervous, unstable evil [[Autobot]] dune buggy who is considered completely insane even by Autobot standards of sanity.

==Fiction==
===Shattered Glass===
{{ongoing}}
When [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] freaked out at [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] not being dead after drinking a vial of [[scraplet]]s, Rodimus commented that Cliffjumper must have gone really crazy in the [[Rad Zone]], "like, extra crazy... ''Beachcomber'' crazy".  {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

Beachcomber was onboard the ''[[Ark  (SG)|Ark]]'' when it traveled to [[Earth]] and crashed into the ocean off the [[United States of America|United States]]' west coast. He ended up later being part of the group of Autobots that met up with Rodimus, when Rodimus (who had been the only one to reach an escape pod before the crash) finally arrived at the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site. He then was part of the assault force that hijacked the [[Burpleson Air Force Base]] so Rodimus could fulfill his plan to use the humans' [[Global Orbital Defense Satellite]]s to hold the Earth hostage unless they met his demands.  {{storylink|Eye in the Sky}}

*'''Hardtop''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, Key

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]] toy, [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] transforms into a dune buggy of indeterminate model. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the butt of his rifle flips out an extended barrel for a "sniper" mode. He comes with a [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]-style Key with a [[Sector Seven]] logo on it.

: Hardtop (and the rest of the Scout wave) are [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Hardtop comes with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code printed on his cardback. Starting [[June 2]], [[2007]], Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content.  

: Later releases of this toy did not include the Robo-Vision promotion.

: This mold was also used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]]. He was also repurposed as "Shattered Glass" Beachcomber.
