G1 Beachcomber

Buggy mode
Robot mode...

Compare with G2 chrome Beachcomber, I would still prefer this one. No diecast on this minibot. G1 vintage made in japan as usual. However, beware there are KO version of this lately.

* KO with card is available BEWARE
* Beachcomber never officially reissue

G2 Seaspray

Chrome blue, robot mode
Made in China, G2 starts to manufacture in China
Sleek hovercraft mode with original blue chrome...

Not much people are big fans of G2. I'm kinda picking it up lately but this chrome repaints are my favourites. The chrome shiny blue is a killer. Well I feel its nicer than the original seaspray. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.

G2 Beachcomber

Beachcomber turned green in G2. Robot mode!
Buggy mode!
I love the green chrome but I still prefer the original G1 blue color. G2 series are mostly produced in China. This is no exception but the quality is still there yet. Not till lately though. Insignia is replaced by just a normal Autobot logo paint on. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.

G2 CliffJumper

Wicked robot mode with chilly red chrome!
G2, Made in China!
Forget Ferrari red, check out the hot chilly red Cliffjumper!

The red chrome is stunning. Should I say more here? I prefer this G2 than the original G1 red. This is hot! Beware of chip paints. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.

G2 Bumblebee






I'm a big fan of this gold chrome Bumblebee and I'm also a big fan of yellow G1 Bumblebee. I love both of them. Well, there are couple of repaints of Bumblebee and such. I should say its a must get for Bumblebee collector. Its an awe! Beware of chip paints though, it tends to happen to chrome Transformers. Only 4 G2 Autobots are chrome to my knowledge, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and Cliffjumper.
