Of course, with such weak allies, you might be able to convince the GM to let you tack on some modifiers (like Minion) for free.

As for pricing Allies for negative-point characters, what you could do is renormalize points such that your character is actually 150 points (GURPS average), then build off that. So, let's take a -50 point character with a -170 point Ally. Renormalizing (adding 200) gets us to a 150 point character with a 30 point ally. This falls into the "25% or less" category, so charge accordingly.
