When Cliffjumper freaked out at Rodimus not being dead after drinking a vial of scraplets, Rodimus commented that Cliffjumper must have gone really crazy in the Rad Zone, "like, extra crazy... Beachcomber crazy". Dungeons & Dinobots

Beachcomber was onboard the Ark when it traveled to Earth and crashed into the ocean off the 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'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 Satellites to hold the Earth hostage unless they met his demands.

And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots. You see, reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day, and to them it is the holocaust."

• Hardtop (Scout, 2007)
  • Accessories: Rifle, Key

A redeco of the Cybertron Hardtop toy, 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-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. He was also repurposed as "Shattered Glass" Beachcomber.

Notes

• All of Beachcomber's dialogue so far has been in the form of song lyrics tweaked slightly into sentences. In "Eye in the Sky" the line "Cats in the cradle! And the silver spoon!" is from "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin, while his line "Now's your time to burn your mind!" is from "Fire" by Arthur Brown. In "Blitzwing Bop", his lines that are song lyrics are... many. See this list for details.
