CROSSHAIRS

"No dispares hasta que no le veas los cables de los ojos."
"Don't shoot until you see the wires in their eyes."

Personalidad: Crosshairs trabajó durante mucho tiempo en Cybertron como director de armamento de los Autobots. Fabricaba, conservaba y proporcionaba a los suyos las armas más letales y modernas. Pero cada vez que un Decepticon era convertido en chatarra, gracias a su trabajo, se sentía más incómodo consigo mismo. Empezó a pensar que había mejores maneras de invertir el tiempo que fabricar instrumentos mortíferos. Dejó el negocio de las armas y se unió al grupo de Autobots liderado por Fortress Maximus. Cuando Fortress Maximus renunció a la guerra, fue uno de los primeros en apoyarle. Pero los acontecimientos en el planeta Nebulos pronto obligaron a estos Autobots a esgrimir de nuevo las armas contra los Decepticons y, de mala gana, Crosshairs accedió. Dada su experiencia, Fortress Maximus le nombró supervisor de armamento. Aunque su trabajo no le gusta, lo hace a conciencia. Es meticuloso y cauteloso... algunos dicen que demasiado. Consciente de lo limitado de sus armas, no le gusta malgastar munición: no dispara hasta estar seguro de que no fallará, y anima a los demás a hacer lo mismo.

Pinpointer era un ingeniero reciclador de Nebulos, como tal comparte con Crosshairs la preocupación por la eficacia y el ahorro de materiales. Siempre está ocupado, y sus frases son breves hasta el punto de parecer groseras. Pero es de toda confianza, y resulta un Targetmaster ideal.

Crosshairs had a long career on Cybertron as the Autobots' chief armory manager. He procured, maintained and supplied to his brethren the latest and most lethal weapons. But he grew more and more disgusted with himself as more and more Decepticons were consigned to the scrapyard, the awful result of his labors. He reasoned there were better ways to use his time than stockpiling implements of death. He quit the weapons business and joined the Autobot band led by Fortress Maximus. When Fortress Maximus renounced war, Crosshairs was one of the first to agree with him and one of the most vocal of his supporters. However, events on the planet Nebulos soon forced these Autobots to take up arms against the Decepticons again, and Crosshairs grudgingly went along. Given his prior experience, he was appointed weapons supervisor by Fortress Maximus. He's meticulous, cautious - some would say overcautious. Although he's less than happy with his job, he's very caring about it, and mindful of his limited resources. He doesn't like to waste ammo; he won't take a shot unless he's sure he can't miss, and encourages others to do the same.

Pinpointer was a biomass recycling engineer on Nebulos. As such, he shares his binary-bonded partner Crosshairs' concerns for efficiency and avoiding waste. He's very businesslike and can be brief in his words to the point of appearing rude. But he is very reliable and an ideal Targetmaster.

Habilidades: Pinpointer se transforma en un lanzagranadas propulsado por dos cohetes, que puede alcanzar el blanco en menos de 0'0003 segundos... aunque, por lo general, confía en Crosshairs para que le diga cuándo disparar. Puede ser utilizado a mano, u operado desde Crosshairs cuando éste adopta su forma de vehículo. En forma de vehículo, alcanza una velocidad máxima de 240 km/h., y tiene una autonomía de 1.125 km. Está construido para terrenos particularmente difíciles.

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. He can be fired by hand or mounted on and operated by Crosshairs in vehicle mode. In vehicle mode Crosshairs has a maximum speed of 160 mph and a range of 750 miles. He's built for traversing very rough terrain and has superior durability.

Debilidades: En su forma de arma, Pinpointer suele sufrir náuseas y mareos, como resultado de las emanaciones que inhala cuando dispara granadas. Esto puede afectar seriamente su puntería. En cuanto a Crosshairs, a veces se ve emocionalmente turbado por la destrucción que presencia en el campo de batalla, lo que disminuye su efectividad en el combate.

In weapons mode, Pinpointer often suffers from nausea and dizziness as a result of the exhaust fumes he inhales from his own grenade firings. This can severely reduce his accuracy. Crosshairs sometimes becomes emotionally overcome by the rampant destruction he witnesses in battle, hampering his combat effectiveness.
