Checkpoint is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

"Get down, everybody!"

Checkpoint is a very, very dangerous robot. Thankfully, he's one of the good guys; an agent for the Mini-Con Council of Sages and personal attendant to Anti-Blaze. The holographic projectors on his head assembly allow him to disguise himself easily, or even become invisible for short periods. His uncanny ability to "read" others through little more than a few minutes' observation -or even just a few lines of conversation- makes him an excellent spy and information specialist. While he can defend himself with built-in anti-neutrino blasters, he's not much of a fighter, instead relying on guile (or his teammate Scythe) to get through dangerous situations.

Toys

Cybertron

• Sunstorm vs. Checkpoint (Mini-Con 2-pack, 2006)

Checkpoint is a redeco of the Armada Emergency Mini-Con Team Prowl toy, transforming into both a Cybertronic police car and a pistol that can be held by most larger Unicron Trilogy toys. Part of the third wave of Mini-Con two-packs in Cybertron, he was available only in a two-pack with Sunstorm. His packaging labels him a Triple Changer.

This mold was also used to make Groove, Kingbolt, and Quasar.
