He's a somber, no-nonsense sort, weary from millions of years of war on Cybertron. Believes words can do more harm than weapons, so he has few to offer. Understands the reason for the Autobot-Nebulan alliance, but disapproves of it. Peacemaker, his stereophonic sonic blaster, is a Nebulan law enforcement official who's always trying, but failing, to persuade Pointblank to be more accommodating.

[edit] Animated series (U.S.)

Pointblank was featured in the U.S. Season 4 episode The Rebirth, He was amongst the Autobots marooned on planet Nebulos when their starship's engines were overloaded by the Plasma Energy Chamber. While on Nebulos, he is kidnapped with the other future-Targetmasters. The Headmasters rescue them and Brainstorm modifies their weapons as exosuits for the Nebulans.

[edit] Animated series (Japan)

Pointblank was featured in the Japanese series Transformers: Headmasters. The concept of the Targetmasters in this series was similar. One notable exception was the fact that the weapons replaced the robot's hands rather than held by them.

[edit] IDW Publishing

Pointblank was one of the Autobots battling in Transformers: Stormbringer. He was only mentioned offscreen. Pointblank was among the Autobots who took Omega Supreme for repairs after he was injured by Monstructor in Spotlight: Optimus Prime.
