    Transformers: Age Of Extinction Robot Character Info Tidbits - Transformers News - TFW2005

    They claimed here that Crosshairs is one of their favorite designs. When I figure heard that I thought Crosshairs would have a design like Sideswipe. But then during a UK toy fair I saw his head design and said, "How is this a good design, he just looks like a army soldier with Goggles." Until someone pointed out that he wears a trench coat. When I first heard that I thought, "Now I know why Crosshairs is their favorite design... He is the most Fashionable Transformer of all." But still he has a terrific Robot mode. What do you think of his design?

    He was really cool.

    All the new Autobots looked badass. I wish they were the center focus of the finale.

    Trenchcoats are cool. Plus Crosshairs is less human looking to me than Drift or Hound. That helps.

    He had a great color scheme, the trenchcoat was beast, the goggles were a nice feature, and he he goes in guns blazing. And to top it all off he has a sweet car form. Easily one of the best in my opinion.

    I liked how the trench coat became part of the car and it doesn't hurt that his personality stayed consistent throughout the film

    He is easily my favorite robot design from the movies up to this point. The trenchcoat, goggles, and dual guns make him look like an awesome badass. His vehicle mode also looks really sweet, and he is my favorite shade of green (which is my favorite color).

    I really loved his design. I liked his trenchcoat a lot more than I thought I would've when a TF finally got one. I also like his colour scheme and head design, with the goggles and antenna. I just wish it wasn't wasted on such an ill fitting personality.

    I agree - his face has more resemblance to old Autobots team. I SO like the scene when he jumps with parachute and his dialog with Drift in Wulong valley! I doesn't watch AOE yet since summer :(  but I remember how I was amazed in the moment when he with Drift sits down directly on waterfall in Wulong, because I noticed how naturally his trench-coat tails swing! Yeah his design is really something new and cool!

    His appearance harkens back to the trench-coat wearing gunslingers you might see in a Western, or even a movie like The Matrix. He even dual wields guns like some of those characters would. However, his actual character is very much unlike those characters, as Crosshairs is somewhat self-centered and probably the very definition of 'jerkass', making him stand out more and further adding to that 'dirty dozen' feel the Autobots in AOE portray (ie. they're a dysfunctional band of soldiers save for Optimus; they're the ones who would do the dirty work more often than most). The trench-coat made out of car parts was a clever design choice.

    I loved it! He was easily my fav in the movie (I originally thought it would be Drift, but Crosshairs stole that light lol). That trenchcoat was a great design. It flowed very well even tho it was a series of hard panels. I loved looking at all the lil gadgets he had in it and wished he had used some of them (I'm pretty sure he had a bomb with numbers on it).

    I also loved the goggles, and how just one half can slide down for use. And his color scheme was just great for me. It was nice seeing green on a bot who wasn't a big bruiser lol (I know there's been a couple of exceptions).

    Duel-wielding guns was also a great addition for him. As someone said, the whole thing felt like it called back to the old west days just about.

    And personality-wise...also good. The group much needed an Autobot who wasn't completely good. Especially it needed a jackass, but even as much of a jackass as he was, he was still loyal. No one told him to go after Bee and the humans, but he did. He didn't have to answer Optimus's call to get back together, but he did. He didn't have to sick around in the end, but he did.

    I just hope he'll be in the next movie.

    Crosshairs had one of the best designs in the movies. The trenchcoat was a brilliant design choice.

    The character is great & John DiMaggio did a great job voicing him.

    Almost as cool as Sideswipe, and that's the biggest compliment I can think of.
