:Tailpipe was [[repurposing|repurposed]] from [[Tailpipe (DOTM)|Dark of the Moon Tailpipe]]. Part of the second wave of Basic-class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)| Dark of the Moon]]'' Human Alliance toys, Tailpipe transforms into a generic and slightly oversized motorcycle, which has two c-joint bars on the back of the bike for weapons mounting. In his hoverbike / weapon mode, the wheels swing out to the front and three curved blades fold out from each of them, with the same geared mechanism as that of Animated Prowl's shuriken. He can be held in this mode by any MechTech-compatible figure using a 5mm post on his, er, tailpipe. The tailpipe post can also act as a kickstand in vehicle mode.
 
:While the toy he was repurposed from came with both human and [[Targetmaster]] style partner figures, neither of these have featured in IDW fiction.
