Later he calls Hound a chunky Autobot and he along with Bee and Drift flee to an abandoned town where they have set up a trap for the Decepticons. Crosshairs and Drift both take down Onslaught, soon after in the abandoned town Crosshairs meets Cogman calling him a C3-PO ripoff and getting his finger bent in the process. He later participates in Battle for the Staff where it takes a cover fire outside the ignition chamber whilst the other bots take on Megatron and Nitro Zeus.

Comics[]
Crosshairs arrived on Earth sometime after the Decepticon invasion of Chicago, and assisted Bumblebee and Optimus Prime on a mission to track and eliminate three Decepticon survivors in Indonesia. The Decepticons retreated but Crosshairs had placed a tracking device (which doubled as a bomb) on their boss, and tracked them to Pulau Bidadari. He requested permission to go alone, claiming a sneak attack by one bot would catch the enemy off guard; in large part, this was done to show off his skills as Crosshairs felt humans couldn't be trusted anymore and it was just up to Autobots.
On Pulau Bidadari (Bidadari Island), he swiftly took out all three of his charges (secretly under the watchful eye of Bumblebee), making sure to mock the Decepticon he'd planted the bomb on before it went off. Optimus felt that Crosshairs was more than combat ready but that they had missed something. Crosshairs (incorrectly) reassured him otherwise.
