Tailgate's character arc throughout More than Meets the Eye (with some artistic errors and corrections). Upper row, left: The first time we ever see Tailgate in issue #1, the inscription on his right arm only says "osal", with the rest meant to have worn off over the course of the six million years he was lying unconscious underneath Mitteous Plateau. The writing is in hand-drawn orange letters with black outlines.

This image is a panel from The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye #1, published by IDW Publishing, the copyright for which is owned by Hasbro. It is believed that low resolution pages or small excerpts may be used on MediaWiki under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. See Copyrights.
Upper row, center (upper panel): Owing to easier readability, smaller panels that don't depict Tailgate in close-up have the witing in plain black letters. It's still "meant" to be orange, the color just isn't supposed to show at this resolution.

It is believed that low resolution pages or small excerpts may be used on MediaWiki under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. See Copyrights.
Upper row, center (bottom panel): The exact shape of the stain that covers the area where the rest of the inscription would have been never stays consistent between panels, but that can be attributed to artistic license. The same applies to the distance between the "L" and the edge of his forearm panel.
Upper row, right: Tailgate claims to Swerve that "osal" should say "Bomb Disposal".

It is believed that low resolution pages or small excerpts may be used on MediaWiki under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. See Copyrights.
Second row, left: Prior to issue 6, Tailgate had the inscription on his arm "fixed"; however, due to an artistic error, presumably as result of foreknowledge of the eventual twist, the inscription ended up saying "Waste Disposal" in both the original single release of this issue, as well as the digital version of the More than Meets the Eye vol. 2 trade paperback collection. Again, the writing is in hand-drawn letters (now colored yellow instead of orange) with black outlines, with both words in one single line.
Second row, right: For the print edition of the More than Meets the Eye vol. 2 trade paperback collection, the inscription was "corrected" to read "Bomb Disposal". In this version, the writing is in digitally inserted black letters, still with both words in one single line.
Third row, left: In another artistic error, the inscription on Tailgate's right arm is missing entirely in one panel. This applies both to the original single release of this issue and the digital version of the More than Meets the Eye vol. 2 trade paperback collection.
Third row, center: Again, the missing "Bomb Disposal" inscription was added for the print edition of the More than Meets the Eye vol. 2 trade paperback collection, with the writing once again in digitally inserted black letters, again with both words in one single line.

It is believed that low resolution pages or small excerpts may be used on MediaWiki under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. See Copyrights.
Third row, right: In a third artistic error (!), only the beginning of the second word of the inscription, "Dispos" (written in tiny hand-drawn yellow letters with black outlines), can be seen in one panel, without either "Bomb" or "Waste" preceding it. Unlike the other errors, this was not corrected for the print edition of the More than Meets the Eye vol. 2 trade paperback collection.

Fourth row: In issue #12, Tailgate pretends to Rewind that he's actually a bomb disposal expert, with nearly disastrous results. In the left panel, the writing is again in hand-drawn yellow letters with black outlines, while in the right panel, owing both to the shadow effects and the smaller resolution, it's in plain black letters (but still hand-drawn). However, in both versions, the two words are now spread across two separate lines, which will be the default layout from from here on out.
