Third party company Dr. Wu have shared images of the color prototype of their DW-E03 Big Surge (G1 Beachcomber) via their Weibo account.
This figure stands only 4.5 cm tall in robot mode so it is even smaller than regular Legends class modern figures and it goes really well with Titan Class figures, or with the War For Cybertron Modulators. A very nice cartoon-accurate robot mode which is fairly poseable for its tiny size.
See all the images attached to this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

$300?! Wow man that's out of control. I've been looking for him for a while but there's no way I'd pay that much. And you say it sold fast too? That's madness
I'm going to keep checking EBay like you suggested. In the meantime I have MPH Studio Beachcomber as a placeholder

It’s basically sold out everywhere and is probably one of, if not the hardest of the extreme warfare series to find. I would know because I was hunting for it for about a solid month back in October. I was able to find the last one in stock on Oh My Primus. Of course there are those ones with exorbitant prices on Ali Express, but in terms of something fairly priced, your best bet is to keep checking EBay. I saw one that was part of a set of like 10 different sets for around $300 a couple months back but it sold quick

Does anyone know of any sellers who still have this guy in stock?

Please, could someone store Soundwave or Saundblaster in alt mode in the Siege Soundblaster's chest?

If you are looking for something "titchy" to compare the wee new Minibots with there is a few Microns/Minicons that are very small the little dump truck on "Heavy Load" one that comes with Menasor (or as I call him Moledive after his Japanese Name ) & the one with Tidal Wave called "Ramjet" are especially titchy & might be good to do a side by side with Dr. Wu's Beachcomber or other Future Minibots they are making like Seaspray.

Got mine today. First thing I did was pull out the old (and one recent) Minicons/Micromasters, so I could finally see actual comparisons for myself:

Right where I want 'em! Don't care if they're meant to work with these guys or not.
Fun WST comparison

(My WST Soundwave has always had that marbling in his legs. It really looks like his legs are melted in this pic, but they're perfect and flat-surfaced.)
And some vehicle mode pics for Beachcomber:

Sorry about the saturation–camera took some darker-than-normal pictures.

According to ShowZ, my Beachcomber / Soundwave has SHIPPED!!

Hmm…I LOOOOVE my Dr. Wu Chatter set, and I LOOOVE Beachcomber as a character and G1 toy, but I'm having trouble getting on board with this offering. The yelly face lacks the charm of our favorite low-key robeatnik and the angled A-stance feet make the dune buggy look like it was in an accident.

Are you talking like the old CHUG scale legends like Hot Rod, Hound, Jazz, Starscream etc? If you are Galvatron and Soundblaster are smaller.
Pun-3X
Show.Z email. Got these on the way!
These are Micromaster scale, so they wouldn't fit with legends if that's what you're looking for.
jamarmiller
how tall are these guys to the old HASBRO LEGENDS size guys. Do these guys fit in that scale ?
zeroblue2099
Yeah, I keep scanning the Weibo responses for clues to how many more or which characters might be coming. I remember the Insecticon Targetmasters that Dr. Wu showed off, six years ago or more?
I don't want to get too excited until the pre-orders actually go up for Blaster and Ironhide (and I would guess the eventual Twincast and Ratchet remold/repaints). It sounds like characters that appeared in the '86 movie are the main focus.

The trouble with these guys is you dont know their level of commitment. I am so tempted by micromasters, the mft mini gobots and these it is hard to tell if this is a one off thing or what…

thank you! now I'm sad.
