His shoulders rotate and there's even some sideways lifting of his arms (which is a bonus even if the joints are for the transformation). Play value is again fairly typical of the time. The mount on his roof forms something of a belly button, and to the left is an Autobot symbol sticker. There is a connection between his ankles which is kind of disappointing - the legs are otherwise separated. The front wheels sit on his arms, and along with the cabin on his chest really make it clear that Crosshairs has a car alt mode - a lot of 1987 Transformers had somewhat generic robot modes, so this is a definite plus for Crosshairs. The white paint on his face does well to highlight his facial detail. I can't complain about this colour scheme - the silver stickers are mainly on his legs and along with his white paint give Crosshairs some colour. There's actually some white plastic on his just visible shoulder struts, which is used nowhere else on the toy. His face is while as is the top of his chest, which is the windshield. The blue is still quite prominent, mind you - on his arms and boots, while his feet, groin, hands are head are black. Attach Pinpointer in gun mode in either hand if you like.Īgain a mix of red, blue and black, Crosshairs has a red chest and some more red on his thighs - the red is now far more prominent, vying with the blue for dominance. Fold the rubsign onto his back, pop the head out from within the chest. Grasp the front fenders and pull out to the sides to form his arms, fold out the fists from inside the arms. Swing the rear tyres behind the thighs, stand him up. Lift the back section up and ratchet it back to form his legs, lift up the feet. A little more play value would have been nice, but Crosshairs isn't lacking compared to other Targetmasters. The big tyres give this vehicle character while the gun is a great compliment. Still, the headlights, winch, tyre tread pattern and some fairly intricate piping just above the rear tyres prove that effort was put into this mode.Ī good car mode, Crosshairs has the best of the 1987 Autobot Targetmasters in my opinion (although all are good). The moulding here is slightly disappointing compared to Transformers of previous years, but is typical of the more stylised 1987 Transformers. It's quite unusual for Nebulans to match the *master so well. It helps that Pinpointer's colours match Crosshairs's own quite closely - the addition looks very natural. Since there's no spoiler I feel Crosshairs looks better with gun than without. The play value here is about what you'd expect - the tyres roll and you can mount Pinpointer's gun mode in a hole on top of the roof. His colours work well, the red blue and black (which is actually a very dark grey) fit together nicely. I'm not sure that Cybertron has dune buggies (or sand, for that matter), but Crosshairs is clearly configured for some sort of off-road activity. There are pop-up headlight seams and a winch moulded on the front, along with a rubsign indent, while some silver and blue stickers grace the back of the car. is operated by Ryan Yzquierdo.A blue enclosed dune-buggy like car with a red cage around the cabin, off white windows and big black tyres with red hubcaps.
