Explanation of the conversion: I decided to make Tracer and Holepunch followers of Scoop. They both have attacks which are useable by one other, which is how Scoop uses them as guns. The two sets of Characteristics represent Tracer without and with his suit of Targetmaster armor on.

Scoop and Quickmix in Transformers #60. History: The Autobot Scoop is teamed with the Nebulans Tracer and Holepunch. Tracer was serving time in a prison on Nebulos for a crime he committed as a youth and has regretted ever since. He volunteered for service with the Autobot Targetmasters to defend his world from the evil Scorponok and his band of power-hungry Decepticons as a way of repaying his debt to Nebulan society. He hopes that his good deeds with the Autobots will one day lead to an official pardon.

In combined weapons mode, the connections between Tracer and Holepunch sometimes misalign, which causes them to jam when fired.

Scoop Powers: Tracer is bio-engineered to convert to a twin-barrelled ion blaster with a laser-targeting sight when wearing a special armor suit. Tracer and Holepunch combine to form a single weapon that enhances the power of one of their blasts. Scoop can wield Tracer and Holepunch in his robot and power shovel modes.
