Footnotes
<ol class="references"><li id="cite_note-0"><a href="#cite_ref-0" title="">↑</a> Pinpointer is focused on avoiding waste in all things, be it natural resources, movement or even the amount of words used in a conversation. To say he's very businesslike and efficient itself would be a waste of words, when simply calling him rude would suffice for most. <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1" title="">↑</a> Whenever he does speak, he sounds like Fred from Scooby Doo.
<li id="cite_note-2"><a href="#cite_ref-2" title="">↑</a> Crosshairs is similarly obsessed with avoiding waste with regards to combat and ammunition, so he understands where Pinpointer is coming from. They get on fairly well. <li id="cite_note-3"><a href="#cite_ref-3" title="">↑</a> Pinpointer transforms into a dual rocket-propelled grenade launcher who can lock on a target in less than .0003 seconds, but usually trusts Crosshairs to tell him when to shoot. <li id="cite_note-4"><a href="#cite_ref-4" title="">↑</a> Crosshairs' Marvel Transformers Universe profile from Marvel US issue #48</ol>
