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.

Fiction[]
Marvel Comics continuity[]
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.
He eventually left Cybertron with the rest of Fortress Maximus' crew to travel to Nebulos, where he was among the Autobots who surrendered their weapons as a gesture of peace. Ring of Hate 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. He eventually acquired a new gun when the Autobots still at liberty underwent the Targetmaster process and got to try it out while defending the Nebulan nursery from Scorponok and the Decepticons. Brothers in Armour He was later captured by the Decepticons as part of a plan to lure some of the Autobot Headmasters into a trap but got his gun back and taught them the error of their ways. Worlds Apart
After Fortress Maximus' crew had travelled to Earth, Crosshairs and his gun took part in the attempt to rescue Buster Witwicky from the Decepticon faction led by Ratbat and Shockwave but they were forced to retreat. The Desert Island of Space
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. All Fall Down
Earthforce[]
Crosshairs was among the "new age" Autobots who attended Optimus Prime's meeting with Grimlock and the Dinobots about their more brutal methods. When Grimlock threatened to quit the Autobots, Prime seemed all too willing to let him, and the two of them actually came to blows. After beating some sense into each other, however, Optimus Prime agreed to allow Grimlock his autonomy, to lead "Earthforce" while he and the Ark's crew took off for space. Break-Away!

And the winner of the 100 meter dash is...!
Crosshairs does quite the Ronald Reagan impression. Or maybe Jack Nicholson. He is very concerned with "the hubbub". He also has red eyes, a rarity for cartoon Autobots (Although his animation model has a visor, and red visors are a common practice in the cartoon).
