Power of the Primes Beachcomber

Wave one of the Power of the Primes Legends continues with Beachcomber.

The Card

My version of Beachcomber came with a card for the Megatronus combination.

The Robot

Like Windcharger, Beachcomber looks like he just stepped out of the original cartoon.

The Dune Buggy

The dune buggy looks great too, I especially like the silver engines on the back.

Two flaws that I have to mention, there is a large gap in the back of the vehicle mode where the head is stored and the torso does not lock securely in place so it is easy to accidentally compact it.

Prime Master Integration

To access the cockpit you flip up the back of the roll-bar.

The Comparison

PotP Beachcomber is a big improvement over the, much smaller, Universe/Henkei version.

The previous mold is clearly from the “updated design” phase of the Classics/Generations line and looks nothing like what we saw in the cartoon.
