History[]
Many years ago, Crosshairs was a member of Optimus's Science Division during the reign of Protector Megatron. This peaceful existence ended when a mysterious relic was discovered outside the temple of Simfur, and Megatron changed the military's mission of defending Cybertron to open conquest. He listened to Optimus's pleas for them to ignore Megatron's demand and stay out of the fighting. Defiance #2When the civil war broke out, Crosshairs, like many scientists, joined Optimus Prime's new faction, the Autobots. He watched from a distance as the Decepticons launched the Nemesis, and participated in a mission to bring Sentinel Prime's "torch" invention to the Simfur Temple. Foundation #3 At one point during the war, he fought against Thundercracker. He was present when Optimus Prime revealed his plan to capture the AllSpark, and due to the lack of space on the Ark, some Autobots would have to stay behind. Crosshairs was among those who volunteered to stay. Defiance #4Thousands of years later, Crosshairs teamed with Clocker to lead an Autobot underground resistance The resistance was getting ready for a raid on the temple at Simfur when Clocker returned with an unexpected guest: Arcee. Crosshairs explained the Autobots' situation to her, then invited her along for the attack. The Reign of Starscream #4 He entered the frame ax-first. That's pretty awesome. When Dreadwing's forces betrayed Starscream at Simfur, Crosshairs, Clocker, Armorhide and Arcee created havoc by destroying the replica AllSpark cube and fighting the rebel Decepticon forces. He decapitated Ramjet when the Decepticon had pinned down Armorhide and was about to deliver the killing stroke. He managed to escape with the other Autobots when Dreadwing's starship came crashing down to Trypticon, destroying the once-magnificent Decepticon city. The Reign of Starscream #5
