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 and her Vehicons. 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 and killed him.
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.
- He is truly a [|Redshirt] character as he died in his first apperance. Cliffjumper had previously apperaed in comics and games.
