'''Tappet''' is a [[NAIL]]. He just wants to be heard.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 comics===
When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] returned from his disappearance at the beginning of the rebirth of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Tappet angrily confronted "Orion Pax", berating him for the [[Great War (G1)|war]] that lasted the last four million years. He was soon set upon by [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], but Optimus diffused the situation. Later, when a NAIL riot began against the Autobots, the [[Decepticon]]s were released to help with crowd control, and Tappert was attacked by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. The riot ended when Optimus Prime made a speech expressing his decision to leave the planet, which Tappert listened to. {{Storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}}

==Notes==
* Tappet is based on the famous British children's book character [[Wikipedia: Noddy (character)|Noddy]], sporting his conical blue "hat" topped in a bell, red torso, blue "shorts" and coloured cheeks. Moreover, his visible [[alternate mode]] components, including a chest grill and large red wheel wells on his shoulders, indicate that he transforms into [http://www.google.com/search?q=noddy%27s+car&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=uWrzTsfWNOOh4gTe9tGNCA&ved=0CGYQsAQ&biw=1320&bih=636 Noddy's car], itself one of the most well-known aspects of the character. He also shares the same character model (with the exception of his head) as [[Dipstick]].
