	Pinpointer was a biomass recycling engineer on [[Nebulos]]. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe\|Pinpointer's ''Universe'' profile}} After [[Galen]] and his Autobot allies were smeared in the public eye by Lord [[Zarak (G1)\|Zarak]], Pinpointer one of a select few Nebulans who didn't buy the Decepticons as their saviors (due in part to his ability to think back several days to when the Decepticons were laying siege to the capital). Adopting a codename and working in secret, Pinpointer and his allies reinvented the bio-mechanical engineering process as a means of rearming the Autobots. Six of the Autobots' top warriors had disarmed themselves as a show of peace to the Nebulans when they first arrived, and were sorely lacking firepower now that the Decepticons had arrived. The binary bonding allowed Pinpointer to convert into a double-barrelled rocket-propelled grenade launcher, teaming with the Autobot weapons supervisor, Crosshairs.

	: Pinpointer is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Waterlog (PCC)\|Waterlog]], transforming into a double-barreled blaster (though his official transformation differs from Waterlog's pistol mode) that can be held by any figure with a [[5 mm post~~\|5 mm post~~-hole]].		: [[Arms Micron]] Pinpointer is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Waterlog (PCC)\|Waterlog]], transforming into a double-barreled blaster (though his official transformation differs from Waterlog's pistol mode) that can be held by any figure with a [[5 mm post]]-hole.

	:He was only available as part of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)\|Prime]]'' "Anime Debut Commemoration Campaign", with the purchase of 4000 yen's worth of ''Prime'' toys at Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] stores on [[March 31]], [[2012]]. He was "limited" to 10,000 pieces, which is really ~~quite a~~ high number for a Japanese store-promo Micron.		: His instructions only show the hand-held mode, but as he is a ''Power Core Combiners'' Mini-Con mold, he can also be converted into a compact weapon meant for vehicle-mode use (attached by his [[Powerlinx]] socket), plus an "armor" mode that connects to a ''Power Core Combiners'' [[Commander (PCC)\|Commander]] toy's chest or back-mounted [[Powerlinx]] plug for use in either of their robot modes.

The outer peg of the effect parts can also attach to 5 mm ports. The actual gun barrel piece can detach from the back, revealing a 3 mm peg, and connect to his arm like a cannon. Due to the size of the piece compared to Pinpointer, attaching Fire Blast parts to his barrels will cause the figure to become too unbalanced to stand.
