Also known as "Inker"
Tracer, like all the "double" Targetmaster Nebulans, is one of the smallest and least complicated Transformers. Fold the barrel away, and stand him up. He can also combine with Holepunch to form a rifle. He was released with the Autobot Scoop in 1988. No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.
