At Iacon, he was ordered to attack Kaon with his fellow Wreckers. He boarded The War Star and headed to Kaon.

At Kaon, he abandoned the War Star, before it was fired upon by Soundwave. He managed to safely land on the ground and was ordered by Ultra Magnus to snipe the guards surrounding Kaon.

There, he was told by Ironhide that they have to escape, and responded that they're doomed. He then watched as Scattershot injured Starscream and was ordered to flee Kaon, which Crosshairs did. When Scattershot asked where the Autobots' Base was, Crosshairs informed him that they have a long way to go.

He managed to make it to the Gobotron Jungle, he listened as Scattershot told them of his beliefs and judges him for knowing the difference before coming Online. He showed Skepticism when Scattershot offered to join the Autobots, and threatened to incarcerate him. He then spotted Decepticons flying overhead. Hours later, he tolds his fellow Autobots that they have to rest. After Scattershot killed a Turbofox, Crosshairs if they should trust the "Decepticon", and was reminded what Scattershot's name was by Hot Rod before shutting down for the night. The next morning, he woke up to find that Scattershot had found a skiff and climbed aboard. He then informed Scattershot that they have no means of contacting Iacon, before heading off to the Sea of Rust. When Ironhide suggested building a beacon out of the skiff, Crosshairs shot the idea down, before mentioning that they haven't fueled in days.

In the Sea of Rust after the skiff died, Crosshairs aided his teammates in building a beacon with orders from Roadbuster. He then supplied the minimum amount of his Energon to fuel the Beacon. After receiving a transmission from Rollbar, he showed fear by mentioning that the Decepticons might be slightly closer than the other Autobots. Moments later, he announced that the Combaticons were coming as the Autobot Shuttle arrived. He boarded the shuttle, which headed back to Iacon.

Back at Iacon, Crosshairs and Roadbuster collapsed from exhaustion before being carried off the Shuttle by Bulkhead. *The Clone: Rise of the Omnibots Part 1*

## Personality

He seems to be very skeptical to ideas and sudden surprises. He does love to shoot his enemies when he's sniping them. He's a bit of a Debby-Downer if you know what I mean.
