I need to know how you put bullet holes on some transformers that I want to customize. Does anyone know how?

Easiest way I can think of would be a hot soddering iron pushed through the plastic to melt it, or an engraving tool pushed through.

When I messed up my Mindwipe, I used a dremel with a small drilling bit to make a little hole.
Then, I used some black on the hole.
Edit: Something like 118.

For bullets, I'd say take a thin paperclip, straightened out, and held by a pair of pliers, and the tip heated up in a lighter until it's really, really hot, then carefully jabbed into the body panels. For larger projectiles, like Transformer level cannons, the tip of a soldering iron or woodburning tool would be good. Just be careful you don't destroy an interior strut that's needed for structural integrity, or that the melted area that rises up from the plastic from the new hole blocks any close-clearance aspect of the transform.

A little trick I learned in my scale modeling days:
Using a Dremel (117 above should work), sand down inside the area you want to hole until it's paper thin, then jab with a needle or a nail depending on the size of the projectile. You can also use a blade for rends and tears.

I used a soldering iron for this chap. Heating objects with a flame is ok if you don't have a soldering iron but they cool down so quickly it's a bit of a pain.
