Cybertron Crosswise transforms into a Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron sports car (a very, very expensive limited-production, built-to-order series of cars), modified (very) slightly to avoid licensing and legal problems. The spoiler contains a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a translucent blue flame-shaped projectile out of the rear "thruster”; this assembly becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode. Plugging a Cyber Key in his tailgate makes a pair of missile racks pop up from the engine bay and flip over onto his roof. These racks can also be deployed in robot mode, where they flip up over his shoulders. Two more (non-firing) guns are molded into his inner running boards, which nominally point up out of his back, but can swung around to be front-facing hip-blasters in robot mode.
There are some minor deco differences between the Takara Galaxy Force "Autovolt” release (curiously the only toy released in wave 9 of Galaxy Force) and Hasbro’s Crosswise. The Autovolt version has entirely gold painted hands, silver detailing on his missile racks, and his roof light as well as more of his rear lights are painted. And of course, his Cyber Key lacks the Cyber Key Code of the Hasbro version.
Crosswise was later redecoed to make Cybertron Smokescreen and live-action movieverse Jolt, and retooled into BotCon 2008’s Shattered Glass Jazz and Ricochet.
