| This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot Targetmaster. For the live action Movie-continuity Autobot jeep, see Crosshairs (Movie). |
- Crosshairs is an Autobot Targetmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
As the Autobot weapons supervisor, Crosshairs oversees the procurement and maintenance of a dizzying arsenal of implements of death for his fellow Autobots. Long association with such machinery has made him meticulous and careful, possibly to a fault. Crosshairs will often refuse to fire his own weapon unless he's certain it won't miss.
Crosshairs enjoys a good relationship with his equally methodical Targetmaster partner Pinpointer, who is content to let Crosshairs call the shots.
- Italian name: Cross
- French-Canadian name: Échevelé
Fiction
Marvel comics
Crosshairs eventually became disgusted with his role in the unending cycle of suffering and quit his position as Weapons Supervisor to join Fortress Maximus as a front-line warrior.
However, when stuff exploded on Nebulos, Fortress Maximus was all "Waah, I'm on fire, where did our guns go?" and Crosshairs was pressed back into service as the Autobots' armorer.
When Thunderwing took control of the Creation Matrix, he blasted Crosshairs. Since Crosshairs was never seen again after this point in comic continuity, and Hot Rod mentioned that three Autobots were deactivated by Thunderwing, it's possible Crosshairs was one of the casualties.
