Tailgate's storyarc 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 orange letters with black outlines.

Upper row, middle (upper panel): Owing to easier readability, smaller panels that depict Tailgate from a wider angle have the witing in plain black text. It's still "meant" to be orange, the color just isn't supposed to show at this resolution.

Upper row, middle (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: Talgate claims to Swerve that "osal" should say "Bomb Disposal".
