History: Crosswise was responsible for hunting down escaped
Decepticon "monsters" that would scare the populace of Earth. He
would contain them in a cavern which was sealed. He was also in charge of
protecting that seal. Crosswise was discovered frozen in a wall of ice at
the North Pole. He scanned a scientist's car and escaped. He went to the
cave to check on the prisoners, but Starscream attacked him and set the
prisoners free. Crosswise went to find Evac for his help, but was followed
by Sideways. Evac defeated Sideways. They then went to defeat Starscream,
but broke off the attack when Optimus Prime blocked a blast meant for
them. -text summary by Byrerprime Official character text from packaging... CROSSWISE is an ancient bounty hunter tricked centuries ago into following a target to Earth, where he was captured and sealed into the side of a glacier in the Alaskan wilderness. Gruff, sarcastic, and always spoiling for a fight, he isn't above resorting to dirty tricks to take down an enemy. Though he rarely works without getting paid, he also has a strong sense of right and wrong, and when he hears about the danger to CYBERTRON, he is only too glad to sign on with OPTIMUS PRIME and the AUTOBOTS.
