Arcee would remind her teammates of how Airachnid was not the only 'Con to have taken a partner away from her. Crossfire Finally after such a long time I can call my Tailgate project completed. I’ll film a review of him and Cyclonus and put them up for sale probably next week. The Transformers did not disappear from American airwaves, as a fifth season aired in 1988. [16] It consisted of reruns of 15 episodes from the original series, along with The Transformers: The Movie edited into five episodes. This season featured a new title sequence using footage from previous episodes, the movie, and toy commercials as well as all new framing scenes featuring a human boy named Tommy Kennedy (portrayed by actor Jason Jansen) and a stop-motion/machine prop Optimus Prime puppet (operated by Sesame Street veteran, Martin P. Robinson.). [17]

Arcee was deployed on Earth alongside Sideswipe and Bulkhead. The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe Legacy VS500 Collection Special Comic Tailgate was one of the dozen or so Autobots who landed on the Necroworld, home of Censere, hoping to find out more about the mysterious neutral Transformer. The Not Knowing Esmeral - Deathsaurus who, unique to other Transformers relationships up to this point, are explicitly stated to be husband and wife. Victory In the Mexican Transformers line produced by IGA, Tailgate was released as a straight redeco of Windcharger, sold on Tailgate cards. He came in two different but similar color schemes: white with metallic-blue, and yellow with metallic-blue. The reasoning for the yellow version may lie in the Toy Fair 1986 catalog, which shows a prototype Tailgate in yellow.He was released in Takara's version of the line in a small box with a collector's card, rather than a bubble-card like the Hasbro version. Scylla and Artemis both fancy Scuba. In turn, Bighorn has a crush on Scylla, while Artemis also likes Starscream. Fact: the Lost Light is by far the best trans-stellar transporter on Cybertron, making it the optimum choice, regardless of its condition."

Tailgate later responded to a distress signal sent from Powerglide, who was fighting to rescue a puppy that was brimming with energy from the Combaticons. Dying from its wounds, the dog transferred the energy into Powerglide, giving him brief access to Scramble Power. Along with the other Minibots, Tailgate merged with Powerglide into a Minibot combiner and swiftly defeated Bruticus. Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #8This series focuses on the Transformers, split into two warring factions: the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons as they crash land on Earth and continue their eons long conflict there. However, the IDW comics have a traditionally older audience. This led to the glass ceiling being shattered when More than Meets the Eye depicted Chromedome and Rewind in a millennia-long relationship, in which they were named as each other's "significant other"... and this relationship was not the first either have had, and Chromedome may or may not have been dating Prowl before that. [3] The relationship is perhaps not out-and-out romance as humans would think or feel it, but author James Roberts has commented that this is because he imagines Transformers don't have relationships in exactly the same way humans do; he leaves no doubt that "Chromedome and Rewind each regard the other as the most important person in their life." [4] That Rewind out-and-out says "I love you" in a message to Chromedome only hammers it home. Cyclonus and Tailgate have also shared a close bond over the years that gradually evolved into a romantic relationship. Hasbro has been totally cool with IDW doing this. [5] This measure was later followed up by the introduction of the first same-gender female married couple in Transformers history in the form of Anode and Lug, An Axe to Break the Ice after the first depicted romantic female pair of Greenlight and Lancer, The Will of the Few as well as the first example of attraction between members of different genders in IDW in the same issue where the gals Proxima and Acceleron's relationship was mentioned by Nautica. The Sensuous Frame The late bigot Sentinel Prime expressed vague misgivings about how modern-day Conjunx Endurae on Cybertron would "swap fuel in public" as one of several reasons for his violent attempt to reinstall his brutal regime. Ten to Midnight More recently, IDW followed up with the first genuinely romantic, on-the-mouth, unobfuscated, fully-on-screen/panel kiss between Transformers in recorded history, and by extension, the first same-gender kiss between Arcee and Aileron.

Animation for around half the season was provided by producer Nelson Shin's animation studio AKOM, creating a different "look" for the show that encompassed its opening sequence and commercial bumpers. No sooner was the Lost Light airborne again than it had to contend with the threat of the Sparkeater, released from the bowels of the ship by the explosion at launch. Rodimus used the "brightest spark" aboard—Rung—as bait, luring the beast to its death by mashing into one of the quantum engines. The Chaos of Warm Things During the chaos, Skids helped Swerve find the ship's bar, which Swerve decided to take ownership of. The soon-to-be-christened " Swerve's" became the go-to destination for crewmembers looking to drink and relax. Life After the Big Bang This section needs additional citations for verification.

The Transformers toyline and animated series were inspired by the Japanese toyline, Microman (an Eastern descendant of the 12-inch G.I. Joe action figure series) by Takara. [9] In 1980, the Microman spin-off, Diaclone, was released, featuring inch-tall humanoid figures able to sit in the drivers' seats of scale model vehicles, which could transform into humanoid robot bodies the drivers piloted. Later still, in 1983, a Microman sub-line, MicroChange was introduced, featuring "actual size" items that transformed into robots, such as microcassettes, guns and toy cars. Diaclone and MicroChange toys were subsequently discovered at the 1983 Tokyo Toy Fair by Hasbro toy company product developer Henry Orenstein, who presented the concept to Hasbro's head of R&D, George Dunsay. Enthusiastic about the product, it was decided to release toys from both Diaclone and MicroChange as one toyline for their markets, although there were eventual changes to the color schemes from the original toys to match the new series. [10] Tailgate is an Autobot scout, not so much for his skill (for he is mediocre at best) but for two unrelated reasons. First, his hood conceals a ridiculously powerful iron-cobalt magnet, which he can use to tailgate closely beside other vehicles and travel far into enemy territory without fuel. Second, his bizarre idees fixees make him extremely poor company for other Autobots.
