When [[Nova Prime]] took the first ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' to conqu- er, explore the galaxy, he chose '''Tailpipe''' to be one of his crew.

Tailpipe piloted the ''Ark'' when its crew stumbled upon an anomaly within the [[Benzuli Expanse]]. He panicked when the anomaly began to pull the ship in, but Nova Prime assured him that it was merely doing his bidding. {{storylink|Dark Dawn: Dark Cybertron Chapter 1|Dark Dawn}} The entire crew was subsequently lost to the [[Dead Universe]] and presumed dead back on Cybertron, where they were honored with the [[Ark-1 Memorial Grounds|''Ark-1'' Memorial Grounds]]. Before the [[Great War (G1)|war]], while examining the memorial, [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]] placed his hand over Tailpipe's name. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} 

Millions of years later, Cyclonus revealed that he knew Tailpipe was supposed to be part of the crew but that [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] was not. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}}

==Notes==
*Tailpipe's design is inspired by his [[Tailpipe (DOTM)|''Dark of the Moon'' counterpart]].
