	When [[Blitzwing (SG)\|Blitzwing]] was turned into a beacon transmitting [[Cold Slither (song)\|rock music]] over the Autobot emergency channel, Beachcomber was the only bot other than [[Blaster (SG)\|Blaster]] not adversely affected—though less because he was immune, and more because it was merely one more voice among the many already inside his head. Once Rodimus learned this, and that Blitzwing's powers had sent the now also-affected Decepticons into retreat, Rodimus sent Beachcomber to attack the Decepticons' base.		When [[Blitzwing (SG)\|Blitzwing]] was turned into a beacon transmitting [[Cold Slither (song)\|rock music]] over the Autobot emergency channel, Beachcomber was the only bot other than [[Blaster (SG)\|Blaster]] not adversely affected—though less because he was immune, and more because it was merely one more voice among the many already inside his head. Once Rodimus learned this, and that Blitzwing's powers had sent the now also-affected Decepticons into retreat, Rodimus sent Beachcomber to attack the Decepticons' base.

	Once there, Beachcomber found that base was empty due to the Decepticons entering emergency [[stasis lock]], and a group of [[human]]s were standing guard instead. As he moved to shoot the [[Sephie Beller\|small female one]], [[Henri Arkeville\|one of the others]] blinded him with a power cell before they all ran off. Beachcomber started to pursue, but his feet connected with the many ball bearings [[Will Hayes\|two of]] [[Rick Ottman\|the humans]] had poured all over the place while he'd been blinded. He managed to just barely keep his footing while skidding along, until the cell exploded and finally sent him sprawling.

	Incensed, Beachcomber eventually got his footing and chased after the humans. They attacked him with a [[Fire-retardant foam\|fire extinguisher]], but unlike [[Goldbug (SG)\|some other bots]], he reacted too quickly to be affected. So they beaned him with the container itself instead, and the surprise of the impact sent him sprawling... again.		Incensed, Beachcomber eventually got his footing and chased after the humans.
