    I mean look at his attitude. He is selfish, egomaniac sometimes, rude and likes to provoke to a violent confrontation. They say Drift is a former decepticon? I mean he is a teddybear compared to Crosshair. :)

    Sunstreaker is an ass, but he has always been an Autobot.

    I doubt Crosshairs was a con. He's selfish, but his closing statement about Prime solidifies his loyalty to him.

    Plus, since it seems he wasn't under leadership for the time before Prime summoned them, anyone could have easily became a loose cannon and questioned leadership. It just seems that he has the weakest attempts at resisting his temptations.

    Yeah no Crosshairs isn't a Decepticon. Autobots can be jerks too.

    Cons are not the only ones with brash attitudes. Bots can have them as well. To me, Crosshairs came across more boastful and brash. For all that boasting and brashness tho, he's loyal and believes in the Bot cause (Cons are out soley for themselves). He reminded me of Sunstreaker in his brashness and a Wrecker in his boastfulness. I think he just like to talk trash to cover his own insecurities.

    And Ironhide wanted to "terminate the parents" with Ratchet agreeing with "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" So they must be Cons too right? Oh and Hound calling humans "meat bags" and asking if he can start wasting humans. He must be a Con too ;)

    I'd say that Crosshairs and Hound are both former Thetacons, judging from their martial prowess and attitudes.

    Sure, he was a jerk, but that doesn't mean that he isn't an Autobot through and through. I mean look at Animated Sentinel Prime...

    An Autobot is just a Cybertronian who fights for the Autobots, for whatever reason.

    They don't have to have the same values as Prime, agree with Prime, like Prime, or have ideal personality traits- they just have to be willing to do what Prime tells them to do when he tells them to do it.

    As for Drift- it's a real pity they didn't go into the available explanation of how he became an Autobot in AOE (Lockdown himself was one of the factors that drove Drift to become an Autobot). I don't know why they didn't, because had Drift revealed any of his history with Lockdown, the audience would've had an even better understanding of Lockdown's personality. It also would have explained why some Autobots weren't seen at Chicago- they had been sent to scavenge the remains of the Ark on the moon.



    Edit:
    Or like, half the Autobot cast of IDW MTMTE lol

    He's a brash arrogant loner. His line is actually something like 'I should be in charge, then I can get rid of you lot. I'll be in command of myself!'

    Crosshairs is the Han Solo of this group of Bots. He takes orders from only one Autobot......himself (unless he's guilt tripped or threatened by a bigger Bot).:lol 

    Seriously though, he's the lovechild of Sunstreaker and Roadbuster. No, really.:lol

    Where does all that come from? That's certainly not on the toy bio.

    Comics.

    Drift (ROTF) - Transformers Wiki

    Edit: I mean, the comics aren't really cannon, but it did provide Drift with a backstory that would have fit well enough with DOTM/AOE and his toy bio. So, I wish they had referenced it in the movie.

    This reminds me back in April/May when we were all defending the fact that Drift was a former decepticon in the movie.

    Then that has no actual bearing on the movie universe. He might have switched sides because he didn't like the proportions of the Decepticon emblem.

    what does that have to do with Crosshairs and Hound? The Theatacons were just a group of native Cybertronains that spoke up for what they believed in and spoke out against what they thought was not good for Cybertron.

    No different than anyone else speaking out for what they believe.
