{{quote|A hyperactive, overheated sky jockey. Talks constantly. Patrols Autobot headquarter perimeters with lightning speed, searching for Decepticon infiltrators. Only stops long enough to refuel and check his weapons. Armed with automatic 35mm machine guns, air-to-air missiles, and a searing thermal cannon. Also equipped with mid-flight refueling capabilities and cloaking device that makes him invisible. Transforms to supersonic dragster, equipped with high-speed turbo boosters and electro-jammers that disrupt enemy circuitry. Outer shell chopper equipped with metal-eating roto-blades. Combines with dragster to form ultra-sonic helicopter equipped with front-mounted magneto-ray that magnetizes on impact. }}

====IDW Publishing====
When Bludgeon's Decepticons attacked Cybertron with the Warworld, Crossblades took to the sky alongside Blades, Doubleheader, [[Skyhammer (Transformers)|Skyhammer]], Cloudraker, Dogfight, Jetfire and the Aerialbots and participated in the assault on the Warworld as part of a diversionary tactic devised by Prowl to allow the Wreckers to sneak aboard the Decepticon mothership.

====Marvel Comics====
In an alternate future where the Decepticons had all but conquered America, Crossblades was one of the few surviving Autobots. As part of a desperate last-ditch raid, he was assigned to destroy the force field generator protecting Galvatron's New York City installation. Despite a barrage of weapons-fire and the destruction of his primary rotor by Laserbeak, Crossblades managed to crash into the generator, destroying it at the cost of his own life.
