	Crosshairs continued to serve on Master with Pointblank and Fortress. He and his fellow Targetmasters were involved in the battle for data on the [[Master Sword]]. {{storylink\|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} While in orbit around Master in the Battleship Maximus, the Targetmasters spotted [[Ratbat (G1)\|Ratbat]] spying on them, and chased him and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Soundblaster]] back to the planet's surface. Their pursuit was interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Targetmasters, who tried to eliminate the Autobots by blasting open a natural reservoir, washing Crosshairs and his friends away in a massive wave. The Targetmasters survived, however, and located the Decepticons' secret cavern base. They sent out their small partners to covertly investigate the base, but the loud and bolsterous arrival of [[Chromedome (G1)\|Chromedome]] and the Headmasters made stealth impossible, and so a battle was joined. {{storylink\|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}		Crosshairs continued to serve on Master with Pointblank and Fortress.

Fortress allowed the Targetmasters to implement their idea and they soon chased the Decepticons back to planet Master. Crosshairs and the others then tried to infiltrate the Decepticons' secret mountain base, only to be discovered and attacked. The Targetmasters were soon surrounded by the Decepticons but managed to escape. They reported back to Fortress and then went to rescue Chromedome's team on a different battlefront. {{storylink\|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

			After Daniel was lost in deep space during a battle with Scorponok en route to Earth, Crosshairs and the other Targetmasters volunteered to follow the Decepticons while the other Autobots searched for their human ally. {{storylink\|My Friend Sixshot!}} The Targetmasters were ambushed by the Decepticons in an asteroid belt on their way to Earth but were rescued when Fortress Maximus and the others arrived. {{storylink\|Duel on the Asteroid}}

			On Earth, the Targetmasters discovered one of the Decepticons' [[Death Tower]]s in [[Santiago]]. [[Predaking (G1)\|Predaking]] was guarding it but was easily dealt with by Pointblank as Sureshot scanned the Death Tower. The power it emitted overloaded Sureshot's device and caused it to explode. The Targetmasters could only watch as the Tower continued to emit destructive energy and they soon reported back to Fortress on these developments. {{storylink\|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} Crosshairs and the Targetmasters joined the other Autobots in tracking down the other Death Towers and fighting off the Decepticons. In the final battle at the [[Arctic\|North Pole]], Crosshairs and the other Targetmasters faced off with their Decepticon counterparts. Crosshairs joined with all the other Autobots in the super [[Head Formation]] that finally destroyed Scorponok. The Autobots then departed Earth after the threat had ended. {{storylink\|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}
