hey man, i just wanna say that i'm really flattered that this video was made by my recommendation on the character. it's really sweet and i think you did a great job on the video! you have a great day Ron.
You took the time to watch my videos and gave me a good suggestion, I was happy to give you the shout out! I’m just glad you enjoyed the video as much as I enjoyed making it. Have a great day yourself!
Great video! Huge fan of your work so far and love Beachcomber as a character, one minor thing I want to mention though is that the Legacy figure's tires are made of PVC, not rubber. As a result, there should be a lot less concern when displaying it on your shelf and it sits proudly as my definitive Beachcomber.
Thank you for the heads up! Also, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! I’ve had a lot of fun making them. I did look back into the tire thing just to see where I might have gotten confused. So I looked back into it, and you’re right that the tires aren’t rubber. That said, the tires can do damage to transformers if they make prolonged direct contact. I think I did overstate the problem here, and you’re on point to call me out of it, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about how it could be a problem.
Thank you, thank you. I actually began working on this the day after he appeared in the comic, so it’s awesome that it came out just as a lot of people are discovering Beachcomber! I’m just glad my boy’s finally getting his time to shine!
Remember buying the Energon Beachcomber when I found it forgotten on the top of the transformers display at a Walmart. I never liked the mold so sold him on eBay soon after
I’ve always loved him, too. There’s something about Beachcomber that’s always resonated with me, I think it goes all the way back to that Transformers Mosaic I read when I first started getting into Transformers.
Different strokes for different folks 😃. I like the ROTF Comber’s mold, Dune Runner is a figure I’ve always enjoyed, I just don’t think the colors work for me. But hey, the fun of talking about toys is different opinions!
I’ve not had anyone suggest a Maximal yet, Dinobot would have an awesome figure history! I also thinks it’s really cool that so many have been suggesting Grimlock lately. They’ll have videos before too long, I just have a lot of bots on the list right now!
That’s a lot of really good names! I have a large list of viewer suggestions, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to get to all of them, but they’ll each videos in time!
I love this channel. It speaks to me. But honestly for the memes and for the sake of his legacy. The not so many toys of Seaspray. It'll take like 5 minutes.
Adding onto my previous comment, if you are concerned about the tires on the Legacy figure, according to the TFW thread you can fit lego tires onto the wheels!
Hey, congrats! It’s always tempting to try to buy and early release figure, but it’s good you waited for it to be normal retail. When you overpay for a figure, it can sour the whole experience.
Oh, he looks nice! Truth be told, these vids are really only definitive lists when it comes to official stuff. I do my best to round up everything third party, but things slip through the cracks sometimes.
Hey, first triple changer suggestion! I’d love to make his video! I do have a lot of viewer requests to work through, but Astrotrain is absolutely in the queue now!
@@ronbondujon9690 omg so awesome thank you just a heads up for his video he got a funko pop that just released bought it today matter of fact , Thank you!!!
He’s getting a video before too long, the only issue is how many figures he has and how long it takes to make these vids. Doing Sideswipe, Thundercracker, Jazz, and Breakdown so close to one another has taken a lot more time that I would’ve thought. That said, Cliff is going to be out before too long! I also wanted to let you know, Jazz’s video is almost done! It should be out in two weeks!
golden lagoon repaint of beachcomber and other 2 in that pack were repossued into primus golded age army aka his vanguard in japanese g1 cartoon countiy
It’s not a problem that would come up unless you had it making direct contact with paint for many weeks/months. If he’s just standing there, he should be fine!
It would be an awesome episode! I have a long list of viewer requests, so I don’t know when we would get to him, but we will hit that video eventually!
@@ronbondujon9690 well when I got the legacy 1 I watched ALOT of reviews on this guy and read alot of his comic strips I think the reason he is my favourite is because he is obscure and really good character in idw because of how he is track's brother so yeah in conclusion needle nose has a sick design
Wheeljack would be a long episode, and I have a lot of viewer requests to work through. He’s absolutely going on my list, and we will get his video made eventually, I just don’t know when right now. But I promise you, it will be coming!
Someday. Tracks is one of my absolute favorites, but I want to have more figures of him before I make it, and I also have a lot of characters with videos in varying states of completion. That said, Tracks is absolutely on the list!
I don’t think I explained the issue as well as I should have. It won’t happen just by having the figure nearby, paint and plastic damage is only caused by direct contact with the rubber over a prolonged period of time. If you were to put figures in storage, or have one of Beachcomber’s wheels be pressed against a painted part of another figure for a matter of months/years, that’s when there could be issues. I’m sorry I didn’t explain that as well as I should have😅
@@ronbondujon9690 no it's all good, and none of my blast effects that I have stored in my centurion drone box with spare blasters and parts have melted anything either but that could be that my room is constantly cold
That might be the one video with more third party figures than official! I have a big list of video ideas we’re working through, but we’ll Devastator before too long!
I know you’ve really been waiting for Rodimus, and I’m going to make him soon, but it will probably be just a little bit. Lockdown is next, and he’ll be followed by Jazz and Breakdown since their videos are almost done. After that, I need to cool down for a few weeks. Doing a lot of major characters back-to-back led to these videos occupying all of my free time. After Breakdown, I’m probably going to do Dai Atlas and Tarn just to give myself more time to work on bigger videos after that. But you have my word, Rodimus will be made after that cool down. August 30th. Barring some horrible catastrophe, that will be the day I get the Rodimus video out, you have my word! Thank you so much for watching my stuff, and I will get to your video and everyone’s video in time!
@@bethanybrown3686 Hey, hey! I wanted to pop in and let you know the Rodimus video is coming together. The audio is all done, and I’m gathering photos and videos for it. Right now, it’s clocking in at over an hour, but it will probably be a bit shorter than that when it comes out. August 30th is still what I’m shooting for release-wise, and it seems like we’re on track for that! I just wanted to let you know, and I’ll make sure to message you again when it’s out! Thank you again for being patient with me. I wish I could make these things faster, I hate how much people have to wait to see the characters they request. Still, we’ll get to all of them eventually!
I’m glad we’re finally getting some Beast Wars suggestions! Cheetor’s had a great run of toys, I’d love to make that video. We have a lot of suggestions to work through, but we’ll get there before too long!
@@reptisaurusking8494 I’m definitely saving them, Bumblebee, and Starscream to be event episodes. I’m just now finishing a video for Jazz, and it is almost 45 minutes long. I have no idea for long a video for any of the big four would be.
@@reptisaurusking8494 I do know that Soundwave! There is a really dumb reason for why I didn’t mention it there. Starting with Elita-1 and especially Knock Out, I started talking about every figure a character has received. The Soundwave video was supposed to essentially be a “greatest hits” with some oddities thrown in. Because it was the first one, I hadn’t really figured out what the videos were supposed to be. As a result, a lot of important and interesting Soundwaves never got mentioned in it. The only reason Reactivate wasn’t in it was because at the time, I figured the game wasn’t out so I shouldn’t talk about the toys from it. The Soundwave figure is really cool and deserved a mention, but I didn’t do it. I love what the videos are now, and I wouldn’t have started making them if I didn’t start with that Soundwave one, but I regret the way I made it. I’ve decided that eventually, that’s the video that will be remade and turned into something I can be proud of now.
The tires are made of a rubberized plasticizer that has also been used for the blast effect is Siege, the treads on ROTF Demolishor, and various other components of Transformer figures. This polymer is known to cause plastic to become brittle over times, causing breakage, but its more common side effect is damaging the paint of figures. Say you put Beachcomber in a storage box or even on a shelf and the tires made direct contact with a painted piece of a different figure. Over time, it would strip the paint off and stain the tire. It is exceedingly common with Marvel Legends where this material is often used for capes or coats, but it would have the same effect on Transformers. When I was do research for this video, a number of people have already had this happen to them. Now the tires themselves will be fine. It’s not like G1 toy where the rubber will self-destruct in time. It just has a bad chemical reaction to more common pvc plastics.
Aren't you abit caution with the Legacy version? Like ain't the designers are aware of past rubber tyres figure in the past and their reputation and would of made improvement on it? I mean as you said, there has been no report of the issues but yet again it would take years for the effects to happen.
A decision like that can often come from budget teams or on the factory level, but these materials are still very common in Hasbro. Their Marvel Legends figures still use the material for capes and jackets, and the problem exists in that line as a result. I do think I overstated the issue here, but I also feel it’s important people are aware of it, especially if they plan to store the figure for any long amount of time.
I’ve not had anyone ask for him quite yet, but he’s going on my list now! It would be a shorter video, but Charger’s had nothing but good toys all things considered!
@@ronbondujon9690You'll be surprised, he has more figures than Beachcomber (Not Including 3rd Party). If you can do Beachcomber you should be able to find some stuff on Windcharger, It'll be easy.
Love myself a good nihilist! I’m almost done on a Breakdown video right now, and I have a lot of viewer suggestions to work through, but I’d love to hit Deadend before too long!

Ok, hear me out on this one, but the best Beachcomber ever was the Transformers Choose Your Own Adventure book, Island of Fear.
Please tell me Beachcomber does something heinous in there! Like how Windcharger murdered Starscream.
Beachcomber appearing in Skybound has me excited for more! Perfect video to accompany his appearance
Thank you, thank you. I actually began working on this the day after he appeared in the comic, so it’s awesome that it came out just as a lot of people are discovering Beachcomber! I’m just glad my boy’s finally getting his time to shine!
Waiting for my Legacy Beachcomber to come in the mail! Was never super into his character until Skybound. Really enjoy and love him now.
Skybound’s finally given him some love! I’m really enjoying how they’re using him.
I love these videos, its so cool seeing random obscure figures I never knew existed, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I’m just glad so many people seem to enjoy these videos. It makes me excited every time I get to upload another one.
@@ronbondujon9690 of course! You keep making them and I'll keep watchin them!

Remember buying the Energon Beachcomber when I found it forgotten on the top of the transformers display at a Walmart. I never liked the mold so sold him on eBay soon after
That’s still cool! It’s funny how old toys can just pop up sometimes!
Universe Beachcomber looks more like a Halo Warthog than a dune buggy. Now I want one.
I can see it! He was already a good figure, but that’s a fun extra detail.
Well now there’s another new Beachcomber from Blokees, a mini model kit of him. It even comes with the golden hand as well as a bird!
It’s even funnier than that! Blokees announced him THE DAY after this video came out.
@@ronbondujon9690what are the odds, wow
@@gunk3092 It’s happened a lot! Lockdown had the same thing happen.
Yooo Ron!! I might get the POTP Beachcomber this Christmas, cuz u and Chris Mcfeely convincedme a lot to buy him!

How does legacy beachcomber damage other transformers figures?
The rubber or the tires can begin to break down, and will destroy abs plastic as it does.
0:27 you haven’t really done any beast bots so you should do Dino bot or Grim Lock? But yes, the suggestion.
I’ve not had anyone suggest a Maximal yet, Dinobot would have an awesome figure history! I also thinks it’s really cool that so many have been suggesting Grimlock lately. They’ll have videos before too long, I just have a lot of bots on the list right now!
Ok 👌🏻
I have the figure of Legacy and honestly I haven't had any problems and I really enjoy it.
It’s a good looking figure! The tires are an issue that would only really show up years down the line, it’s just something to keep an eye on.

11:48 I can’t wait for Tarn

Lol?????
I lost my potp beachcomber in a trip to new Mexico 💀
Ah, that stinks. It’s always rough when you lose a figure.
I love this channel. It speaks to me. But honestly for the memes and for the sake of his legacy. The not so many toys of Seaspray. It'll take like 5 minutes.
