Transformers AOE film informatics Part 06: Crosshairs


Some might call Autobot armorer and weapons master Crosshairs overcautious, while others might call him a huge pain in the skidplate, but Crosshairs knows that he controls a vast armory that could be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. Thus, he sees it as his duty to protect it with his impenetrable filing system and his incessant demands for request forms - in triplicate.
Should the need to use this powerful arsenal ever arise, Crosshairs is a stickler when it comes to how all this weaponry should be used. He demands that every single unit of ammunition be monitored, dislikes it whenever a shot, blast, or discharge goes to waste, and is quite slow when it comes to combat. As a result of this, however, he's an extremely skilled and precise marksman, and is capable of fighting the fight longer due to his very conservative ammo consumption.
However, his recent stint as a paratrooper seems to be ebbing away his overcautious streak. These days, he's a quick shot, who hits the ground running and makes mincemeat out of Decepticons before they even know what hit them. Crosshairs has also proven to be a bit of a jerk, and is always more concerned about what's in it for him than anything else.

ALTERNATE MODE

Crosshairs transforms into a green-colored 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray. His robot design features a "trench coat" that stores his guns.
