Tailgate (Prime)

This article is about the sniper from Transformers: Prime. For the mini-vehicle from Generation 1, see Tailgate (G1).

Tailgate is an Autobot from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Arcee should keep away from Mini Vehicles.

Tailgate once worked alongside Arcee. Now he's dead. Apparently, this isn't especially uncommon.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Voice actor: Josh Keaton (English)

Tailgate was a member of Delta Team during an unnamed battle. He failed to take out a sniper, forcing Arcee to enter hand-to-hand combat. As the two discussed where to rendezvous, Arcee was captured by Airachnid. Later, Tailgate was also captured and brought before the two of them. Airachnid threatened to kill Tailgate if she was not told the co-ordinates of an impending attack. After Arcee claimed she did not know them, Airachnid made good on that threat.

When Airachnid and Arcee later encountered each other on Earth, Airachnid tormented her foe by bringing up what happened to Tailgate. Predatory

Notes

• Tailgate appears to be the same model as Cliffjumper.
