This article is about the Cybertron-series Mini-Con. For the Energon-series Autobot, see Checkpoint (Energon).
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.
