    No he shouldn't, though he probably will, he's a new version of Beachcomber and he can be whatever the hell they want because it's not the same character,

    I saw the scetch of Beachcomber... and I just had to have a go at it. So after a small 15 minutes... this is what I came up with.

    He looks like... "Dude, that was deep"

    I hope he will still be an ecologist

    Beachcomber seems like a really random G1 bot to include in animated.

    Highbrow is WAY more random than Beachcomber. I dont think Beachcomber is random at all.

    I don't think any 'bot that had an episode dedicated to them in G1 is all that random.

    Although the fact that a character has had a toy recently helps.

    I actually wanted something like Jeff Bridges in full Big Lebowski mode. But Shaggy is fine, too.

    How about having Beachcomber be a semi-original character with aspects of his G1 self?

    i would be fine with this if there were a few more sports cars happening in the autobots. if they skip characters like smokescreen, mirage, wheeljack, tracks, and especially jetfire to spend time making beechcomber thats a little too random for me. the more rumors i hear about season three the more i think i might already have all the tfa i want. i hope they just let that slip out because there is no toy attached. random and scary close to silly if they arent doing characters with a little more oomph.

    As cool as would be to have Kasem, he left Transformers after "Thief in the Night" because he was offended by some stereotypical characters in it.

    Not sure if he'd come back.

    Honestly, Beachcomber looks like a sickly little kid that fogot to take off his swim goggles.
