Pinpointer (G1)
- Pinpointer is a Nebulan Targetmaster partnered with the Autobot Crosshairs
Just like his Targetmaster partner, Pointpointer is obsessed with avoiding waste. But where Crosshairs is mainly concerned with waste with regards to combat and ammunition, 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. Crosshairs however understands where Pinpointer is coming from and the pair actually get on fairly well.
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.
