Transformer of the Day for February 6, 2009

BEACHCOMBER

-Faction: Autobot
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992), Generation Two (1993-95)
-Function: Geologist
-Motto: “Know the Conflict Within Before Facing the Conflict Without”
-Notable Toy: G2 Mini-Spy (Hasbro, 1993)

Notes: Beachcomber was the Autobot’s resident environmentalist, so it was little surprise that his blue hues became metallic green for his G2 incarnation. Of course, I always presumed this meant the Guardians of the Universe had given him a familiar emerald ring to patrol the galaxy. If it can work for Dirge… in blackest day, in darkest night, no evil shall escape these megabites…
