Beachcomber is very reminiscent of his G1 form in robot mode - his articulation includes ball jointed shoulder & hips and bending knees.
TF: pull the body up so it covers the head. Straighten the legs, fold the heel spurs forward to form the sets and fold the lower legs back to form the front of the dune buggy. Fold the arms down beside the toy and then bring in as close as possible to the toy and move them as far down the body as possible.
Vehicle mode is a very different sort of dune buggy complete with high sides, white mudguards at the front and a spare tire & gun at the back.
Decent update to a classic character.
Beachcomber was a Universe Legends Wave 4 toy. He was sold in Japan in the Henkei C-18 Minibot Attack Set with Cliff(Cliffjumper) and Gong(Brawn).
When I think of Sandstorm, or either of his Autobot Triplechanger brethren Springer or Broadside, I tend to think of their aerial mode rather than their ground or sea mode. Yet this is the second time that the first modern version of an Autobot Triplechanger has been their ground mode - see Botcon 2007 Springer.
Sandstorm swaps Beachcomber's blue for a sandy beige while keeping the black plastic. Orange paint is added to the wheel arches and robot chest giving us quite a decent Dune Buggy & Sandstorm robot.
