 Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another Generation 1 Transformers review and the bot we're taking a look at in this video is 1987's Generation 1 Crosshairs with pinpointer. This is the last Autobot target master in my collection Now before I start going over the figure I need you guys to do me a favor if you're watching this video right here and are not a subscriber to Patriot Prime reviews Please hit that subscribe button right now. It won't cost you a thing, but will help me in my channel out tremendously now on to the figure review Crosshairs came out in 1987 along with his Autobot target master brethren point blank and sure shot He appeared in the animated series in season four, which was a three-part series called the rebirth Now he was just a bit player He was mainly a background character. You didn't really seem too much But he did have a really cool voice. He kind of sounded like Ronald Reagan But other than that he really didn't do much at all in the show the same can be said for Marvel comics He appeared in issue number one of the headmasters limited series where he was shown to be one of Fortress Maximus's Autobot troops that landed on the planet nebulos He's seen in the background as always in a panel where he's introduced But you could barely make him out do the way he was drawn He then appeared in issue number four of the headmaster series But once again a background character he's shown Transforming and then transforming back and that's pretty much the history of crosshairs here in the States I know you had a larger part to play in the Japanese headmaster series but I have yet to see that and I plan on doing it very soon That's been highly recommended both good and bad that I checked that out So we'll have to give that a watch. So that's pretty much it for the history of crosshairs So let's take a look at this last generation one target master and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews Crosshairs alt mode is some sort of Cybertronian 4x4 and this thing looks awesome. It's big. It's beefy It's very futuristic this thing looks like it would drive around the landscape in an 80s sci-fi movie And this thing has some fantastic molded details You've got the winch here on the front the lights. Look at the tread on the tires They're on the rims on the side with the vents and on top with the windows and cockpit I mean this thing is awesome looking It's got pretty nice stickers too and surprise surprise. These are the original stickers from 1987 they have a little bit of wear to them But nothing so bad where I felt the need to fully replace them with a set of toy hacks Wheels are great. They're big and they roll really good So this guy can easily go and take out some Decepticons Now let's take a look at his target master partner pinpointer Pinpointer like the rest of the little target master figures is static. He has no articulation whatsoever Fairly decent mold on the guy silver paint applications there on the face but his sole purpose is to turn into a gun and This guy is really cool. His transformation is different than the others to transform pinpointer Fold him in half just like you normally would and then there's an extra joint to fold it one more time So you have this longer Two-barreled weapon so I do like that a weapon, of course can attach to the top of crosshairs So he can go out and attack some Decepticons now. What's cool about this extra joint You can angle it up and now it's an anti-aircraft gun. I really think that's cool So now let's go ahead and transform crosshairs into robot mode Let's first remove pinpointer and we'll place him to the side. He's got a really neat transformation You're going to take the legs and just simply fold them out and Down like so then bring the toes up Take the rear wheels fold them down And then we'll get him stood up And from here what you're going to do is take the front section of the vehicle And bring out these form the robot arms Right inside. These are the fist flip those out Get your thumbnail in And then take this section here Flipping down and the head pops up the head Is on a spring so mine he kind of Looks to the side just a little bit, but there you have crosshairs In robot mode crosshairs is my least favorite of the autobot target masters I don't know what it is about this guy, but something just doesn't set right with me Now he looks a lot different in toy form than the way he was portrayed in both the animated show And marvel comics that being I believe the artist first saw some renditions of some early concept art for the toy And that's what they went with and I wish the toy looked like the art I'm not a fan of his head sculpt at all just something He just kind of looks dopey to me and I hate that whole white face. It loses a lot of the Details you can make out the visor the nose the mouth But the paint just seems sloppily put on now another thing about mine I didn't realize until a few days ago when I was researching this figure Mine apparently had some sun damage because I believe this light blue is the natural color He's supposed to be opposed to this dark blue that is a very prominent in vehicle mode I probably would have noticed a lot more if I took the stickers off Now as far as articulation is concerned He's got the least amount than his target master brethren his arms can do a complete 360 And that's it. I guess you can raise them up slightly due to transformation But another thing I don't like his arms seem to pop to his side Little springs in there little ratchets, which is nice that helps hold the weapon And speaking of the weapon We'll go ahead and place pinpointer in his hand And there you have crosshairs all armed and ready for battle And now for some size comparison here is 1987's generation one crosshairs with pinpointer With generation one optimus prime fellow generation one target master sure shot with spoil sport And the upcoming war for cybertron siege crosshairs This figure is going to be a repaint remold of the iron hide figure And I love the fact that they're basing his looks on the animated show and the comic book I love the looks of that figure so much more than the toy robot we've got now This figure is currently up for pre-order on amazon.com And I'll put a link to that figure in the description of this video 1987's generation one crosshairs Is a pretty decent figure. I love the vehicle mode Vehicle mode is bad ass. I am just not a fan of the robot mode Pinpointer on the other hand, I love his unique transformation Being able to turn into a longer rifle style weapon So there you go guys there is 1987's crosshairs with pinpointer So does the generation one crosshairs belong in your collection? Your mileage may vary now. He's not one of my favorite Transformer toys. I love the four by four mode. I'm just not a big fan of his robot mode I can't really put my finger on it. He's just not one of my Favorite bots, but if you're going to collect target masters, you've got to get all three So you might as well pick this guy up if you find him at a decent price I actually found this one at a vintage toy store in north carolina He was in the back in a box of old transformers I found him a guy said hey, I'll let you have him for about I think it was about 10 bucks took him to the register and as the guy was ringing him up He's like hey, I've got the gun to this guy too and he sold me that for five dollars So I'm into this crosshairs for 15 bucks. I'm not complaining And guys if you like the video don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe I try to put out one to two videos per week just depends on my schedule I plan on doing a lot more generation one reviews coming up because TF con is right around the corner and I don't plan on making any more large new transformer purchases Beyond the lookout the month of september.
