Fiction

Shattered Expectations

Tailwind was one of the Mayhem Suppression Squad members who assisted Starscream and Razorclaw against the Autobots. Shattered Expectations

Shattered Glass

While the Ark and the Nemesis were headed towards Earth, Astrotrain and his companions attacked the Autobots' ship hands-on. As the others crawled across the surface of the purple ship, ripping it apart, Tailwind stayed in his vehicle mode and performed strafing runs on the Ark's hull.

After Astrotrain and Stonecruncher sabotaged the Ark's neutron cannon, the group retreated. Their efforts paid off since the Ark crashed on Earth, though Astrotrain and his group suffered damage while entering the atmosphere themselves. Do Over Astrotrain was later found in the Antarctic, but his troops' fate is currently unknown. Blitzwing Bop
