He sometimes has his mind stuck in low gear, believes 55mph, speed limit is infringement on rights of cars. Garages are prisons to him... doesn't understand Earth machines are not alive. Goes 180mph, range 600 miles. Uses ferrocobalt magnet under hood to be pulled by and within a few feet of other vehicles, reducing his fuel use to near zero. Prone to overheating.
[edit] Animated series
Tailgate was only shown once in the series in the episode, Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4. He was among the Earth-based Autobots forced to defend The Ark from Trypticon. The Autobots failed and Trypticon destroyed the entire volcano, needless to say, The Ark as well.
