Talk:Tailpipe (G1)

Can we really include the DOTM toy as a repurpose? The art doesn't match any specific details of the toy, just basic kibble placement and colour layouts. They've not really got any more in common than, say, the Universe Galvatron toy has with his IDW design... Jalaguy 17:55, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

I'd say it's close enough. The only thing I'd see that's really different is that they gave him a more humanoid, non-movie face. Escargon 17:58, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

Comparison time! The art was clearly inspired by the toy, but it clearly and intentionally deviates on the specific details. It's not like, say, Milne's G1-isation of the ROTF Lockdown toy, which mostly just normalised the face and knees, and still has lots of areas which very specifically match the toy.

Yeah, more than the face is different. --ItsWalky 18:29, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

Okay, but I still think the arms and parts of the chest are mostly the same. Escargon 18:31, 11 October 2013 (EDT)

Here's that line that mentions Tailpipe in LSOTW #3: http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/TheSpartanD/media/LSOTW3Tailpipe_zps6066a156.png.html?sort=3&o=0 --TheSpartanD (talk) 06:53, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

'Tailpipe' is being used there as a Transformer euphemism for 'ass', not in reference to a character's name. Jalaguy (talk) 06:57, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

"Mistake" then. But it was linked to Kup and everything... - Chris McFeely (talk) 07:01, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
