Community service is a strange way to end up in the middle of an alien war; nonetheless, that's what happened to Tracer. Serving time in prison for a crime from his youth that he has regretted ever since, Tracer volunteered to become an Autobot Targetmaster in hopes of helping defend his world, doing good deeds and someday, maybe, earning an official pardon. The connection between Holepunch and Tracer in their combined mode is less than perfect, sometimes misaligning and causing the pair to jam when fired.
