Description
Crosswise operates as science officer for the elite Spychangers unit, excelling at space engineering, mechanical maintenance, and technological research. His core focus involves studying and upgrading Spark Engines to enhance both his teammates' capabilities and his own systems. As the team's intellectual core, he dedicates significant time to developing new machinery and optimizing existing equipment.
In combat, he wields a gravity-beam gun, specializing in gravity manipulation to levitate objects and disrupt enemy movements. Activating his super mode significantly expands these abilities, granting personal gravity manipulation for flight. This proves crucial during high-stakes missions, such as diverting lava flows during volcanic eruptions or engaging aerial adversaries.
Throughout the conflict against the Predacons, Crosswise participates in numerous critical operations. He aids in recovering the stolen Plutonium Energy Generator, assists in Optimus Prime's rescue after capture, and protects valuable resources like rubies from theft. His strategic planning contributes to destroying Megatron's Mega-Laser Cannon by repurposing the Global Space Bridge network. During environmental crises, he coordinates the Spychangers' Inferno Blast technique to redirect volcanic lava, despite risking engine failure. He also engages in the International Grand Prix and defends Fortress Maximus' location, though the latter mission ends in temporary defeat. Following major battles, he participates in celebratory activities alongside fellow Autobots.
Within Japanese continuity extensions, designated X-Car, Crosswise receives upgrades via the Super Spychanger Lottery. His boosted Spark Engine amplifies his gravity manipulation, granting sustained flight capability. Post-upgrade, he continues researching Spark Engine improvements while combating new threats like Chainsaw's Mutants. During the 2002 World Cup incident, he confronts Gangrene's shamanic disruptions. Despite exhausting their Go-Brillium power source, the Super Spychangers retain their new color schemes after capturing the villains.
This character appears across multiple toy lines. The original Robots in Disguise figure transforms into a blue concept car featuring an exposed rear engine and heat-sensitive insignia reveal technology. Later releases include a two-pack with W.A.R.S., clear plastic variants, and exclusive editions like the Japanese "Original Spychanger" translucent redeco. These toys maintain compatibility with Hot Wheels tracks due to their 1/64 scale and through-axle construction.
