Extra mangrit happens when tragedy of the highest degree causes him to accidentally rip the fabric of existence, just a little, and bring more of himself to bear on this plane!! :DDDDD
ok, but how would getaway survive that in the first place because if i imagine a pissed of eldritch abomination going after me, i cant really think of a good place to hide hm, i wonder if tailgate is drawn towards spacetime shenanigans. part of the reason he's on the LL is because the quantum engines have a nice hum or sth.
HA! Tailgate taking naps on top of the quantum engines, like a cat on a heated blanket. Everyone else is like 'uh... there's kind of....... a corpse right there...........' and Tailgate is like 'yep!' *goes back to basking in quantum energy*
Tailgate is the nicest horrorterror - he'd probably be more likely to hurt people by forgetting they have linear, physics-obeying bodies. He accidentally breaks everyone's optics by taking off his visor at Swerve's and is very, very sorry The first thing he does on the Lost Light is head down to purr in forbidden chords with the engines, and he meets the spark eater. It tries to eat him and fails miserably, so he leaves it alone because it's basically harmless! To him, anyway...
Once he realizes a few weeks after the sparkeater incident that the people the sparkeater killed aren't going to come back, he gets very depressed?
oh, oh, are his problems with the story in the shadowplay arc because he has trouble with the whole linearity stuff?
But like until it sinks in he was very peppy and he thought the funerals were so interesting and he can't wait to see what new bodies Shock and Animus will return in and will they remember him, Cyclonus?
What if he also has trouble processing name changes, because names are important and sacred, so Optimus Prime can't be Orion Pax even though they look and sound and act exactly alike.
He calls Chromedome by the name Tumbler. He does this before Chromedome's even mentioned the name. Because Tumbler is Tumbler, even if people want to call him Chromedome now. He outs Minimus Ambus.
/races back home in 100 degree heat to reach the computer/ AND BY AWKWARD I CLEARLY MEAN Tailgate gets turned on as fuck because Megatron can fit all of Tailgate inside him with the blessings of broken dimensions Tailgate: This is amazing! You could fit all of me in there! Megatron: ...In where. Tailgate: Why yes! :3c /bursts into his final form, resplendent with tentacles/
THAT'S the real reason for Megatron's heel-face turn! Because what... what matters anymore? Revolution? Who cares about revolution? He's seen horrors no mech was ever meant to see. And those horrors were trying to have sex with him. Who has the energy to honestly care about revolution after that? (on the other hand, I bet Whirl would be all about that eldritch sex life)
Reactions to Tailgate's true form coming onto them - Cyclonus: You are a noble denizen of chaos and I respect you, despite your...oddities. I am honored. Megatron: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE ON THIS SHIP?! Whirl:
So, what do you guys think of this and how bad is it going to be? This was released officially a few days ago. I'm...cringing, but other people seem to think it isn't that bad for a Bayverse design. They somehow got his legs and hips right....
