 affiliated with the Autobots. Again, Checkpoint is a member of a S.W.A.T. team; his designation number is A2 (located on the door of his vehicle mode). He is a mainly black and blue futuristic fictional police car; his third mode is a hand-held weapon that can be held by larger Transformers. Checkpoint was sold with Mini-Con Sunstorm. Checkpoint has not appeared in any fiction so far.

Checkpoint worked as an information specialist and spy for Anti-Blaze even before Thrust began his rebellion. His speed and talent for disguise, as well as a cluster of holographic projectors housed on either side of his head make him ideal for infiltrating enemy formations. But his real talent is in his ability to get a read on a subject with minimal contact; Checkpoint can make incredibly accurate guesses about an individual's personality and motives after only a few moments of conversation. This talent makes him a dangerous enemy, and a valuable resource to Anti-Blaze and the Council of Sages.
