Description
Transformers Episode #41 - The Golden LagoonAutobot Beachcomber, Seaspray, Warpath, Perceptor and Powerglide end up in a firefight with the Decepticon Ramjet, Thrust and Blitzwing. Beachcomber got separated in the conflict and end up in a forested area through a cave. He finds a hidden lagoon with a pool of electrum along with some very friendly animals. Unfortunately, Thrust discovers the lagoon as well and finds out that if one coats oneself with this electrum, one becomes invulnerable.
The Decepticons coat themselves with the electrum and trash the Autobots. Eventually, the Autobots figure out what is going on, find the pool, and coat themselves with electrum. Megatron wishes to destroy the pond before this can occur. The Autobots arrive just before the Decepticons and bath in the liquid. What follows is a standoff in the secret lagoon.
Eventually, the Decepticons' coating of electrum wears off and they flee, but before retreating, Megatron destroys the electrum pool and the resulting explosion destroys all life in the area. The once beautiful lagoon is now wasteland and Beachcomber is horrified at the fighting he has brought to the peaceful forest.
Beachcomber was the main character in this episode. It showed a lot of his character as a friendly and curious individual. He tried to learn the languages from the birds and became friends with most of the animals. Beachcomber did not want any one to know about the area because he finds peace and beauty. He only wish he could keep it that way but it didin't last long. I did this piece because I thought he was a pretty cool character and a toy as well.

I just watched that episode the other day!
I don't know why people like to poke fun at him just because he is kinda of a hippie, to me that's what makes him all the more lovable
In fact that in one of the reasons I loved G1 so much, there was such a diverse range of personalities among the autobots, which made it enjoyble to me. ^^

This is so awesome! I love your drawing, excellent! The way the nature background is all "soft" drawn in comparison to Beachcomber's robot body is really great! It highlights the difference between them. (I'm probably not explaining myself very well...) I'm so glad the underappreciated characters are getting a little attention. :joy:

yeah, I really love drawing the underdogs of less favourite Transformers. Everyone just want to draw Prime and Megatron, Starscream, Ironhide, Soundwave, Shockwave etc..

That was a really good episode, I love it when an episode focuses on certain characters. The hippie-bot looks awesome here - all shiny an' metallic, and nice details. Love the background and the animals.

Very awesome, BZ. It's been so long since I've seen any of the older Transformers cartoons. You looking forward to the movie coming out soon? The previews have been pretty attention-grabbing.

Hey thanx! Yeah I will watch the movie when it's out. Still as a retro 80s guy I prefered the old Generation 1 designs. I am just picky.
