Explanation of the conversion: In order to represent his Action Master abilities, I added a bonus to Jackpot's
Strength, Recovery and Running. I also added some Regeneration. I decided to make Sights a follower of Jackpot. He has an
attack which is useable by one other, which is how Jackpot uses him as a gun.
History: If there is a bet on the table, Jackpot is always the first to raise the stakes, and if there isn't an
existing bet, he'll be sure to make one that suits him. He'll solicit bettors by offering to do something that seems
impossible; when the others take him up on it, he pulls it off and takes the credits.
A boisterous, high stakes do-gooder, he is able to turn any situation into a wager and usually wins. He once bet a
Decepticon prison guard that he could escape from the most fortified containment cell without being noticed. That guard is
now serving time in his place.
Powers: Jackpot is very intelligent, skilled, strong and nearly fearless. He is an Action Master, a Transformer who
has used nucleon fuel to charge his system, making him stronger and faster than before and granting him the ability to
heal from damage quicker. As a side effect of his nucleon use he can no longer transform.
Jackpot has impeccable skill at strategic planning. Good luck is part of Jackpot's programming. His Targetmaster partner,
Sights, always has his sonar locked onto anything that can make Jackpot score big. Sights converts to a hand held,
self-propelled photon cannon.
Weaknesses: Jackpot's gambling compulsion often puts him in dangerous perdiciments and his strategies sometimes
rely too heavily on risk-taking. Because he has become an Action Master, Jackpot can no longer transform into an alternate
mode.
