Beachcomber

Beachcomber's a weirdo. Guy hardly ever stays in one place, constantly running around the area, doing whatever it is beachcombers do in Michigan. He's in charge of taking care of Mini-Fippy and Pugglecomber, and also has an... odd sort of friendship with Cosmos. He's very protective of all of them.

Beachcomber's Travelling
Beachcomber had been with his fellow hippiebot Jolt for a majority of his time on Cybertron. The two amigos had worked as street cleaners for a while, and other than being chased by Steeljaw that one time, Beachcomber was pretty happy with it.

After a while, the Earth team came back and Beachcomber had an impulse to go to Earth just to see what it was like. So he and Jolt somehow made it to Earth, and spent their first few days figuring out where they were and what they should be doing. Jolt found them some Earth Alt-modes, and all was well until Jolt got stolen.

Once Beachcomber found him, they managed to patch up any dents in Jolt's armor and then had a road trip through delaware due to Beachcomber's inability to remember the name of Detroit.

After some time, Jolt and Beachcomber got separated and pretty much never saw each other again. Beachcomber got worried about it, so he drove like a maniac around the entire continent in a frantic search for Jolt. Eventually he gave up and crashed in a desert in California, a little depressed.

After a while of wandering stoned and lost in the California Desert, he was eventually contacted by Cosmos, who had been living with the neutrals this whole time. After a while of talking to each other, Cosmos eventually showed up where Beachcomber was, using turbo drive to get there faster. He then got a levitation ride from Cosmos' special power, and decided that it tasted like toothpaste. How he knew what toothpaste tasted like I have no idea.

Once they got back to the mine, things started settling into a routine. Beachcomber would wander off, and Cosmos would be in charge of finding him and bringing him back. Lather, rinse, repeat for a few days, with various locales being visited.

The DJW Incident
Then one day Beachcomber had wandered into the city and made the mistake of walking past Wyatt Toys. The keeper of the Toy Shop, Derrick J Wyatt, had been furious at Beachcomber. How DARE he spoil his good day with his presence! After a short while, Derrick had decided that enough was enough, and installed a chip into Sari's head, made to overload her systems and kill Beachcomber once and for all!

That didn't blow over very well for anyone, especially not Beachcomber. Quite a few people tried to keep Beachcomber and Sari away from each other, and as soon as Cosmos caught word of it he panicked, searching desperately for the blue bot to try and help him. When Cosmos eventually found him, so did Derrick and Sari.

Luckily, Derrick had a small change of heart by the time they met. He promised not to activate the chip unless he absolutely needed to, and all was right with the world. Beachcomber and Cosmos had some fun anti-gravity running around in happiness, awwww...

The Dragon
(note: The event in this section are of dubious continuity. Chances are this did not actually happen)

Anyways, once all that blew over, a Dragon eventually came around and attacked the city. Well, Derrick needed someone to help him defend the toy store! So, in an attempt to fix his image, he called on Beachcomber and fixed his leg with magical Toy Store God powers. They fought the dragon for a bit, using many references and homages to attack. Though Beachcomber didn't really do much, just flew around all gold and shiny.

After some time, Beachcomber wrote a small summary of the event and gave it to Derrick's niece to publish. After Derrick finished reading the article, he ultimately decided that he was no longer going to kill Beachcomber, and removed the chip from Sari's head. Beachcomber is now on good terms with Derrick, who is now a bit of an acquaintance.
