Do you ever thing that sometimes Cyclonus just gets down on
his knees and hugs Tailgate. Like
really hugs him and keeps him close.
He buries his face the best he can between Tailgate’s head and shoulder, just
taking a deep breath and soaking up his mini who is happily hugging him back.

           Its the
kind of hug that lets Tailgate know Cyclonus is glad he is there, with him,
right then, and that he can’t really say it as he’s not good with words like
that so he just has to show it.

haketh:

Tailgate is not a child you goddamn idiots he was alive for who knows how long before falling down the hole. His arc isn’t supposed to say he’s a child it’s to signify how naive he is because he was out of action for so long Good Lord.

And if he was supposed to be a child you can’t have your cake & eat it too & act like it’s okay for Cyclonus & not for Getaway.

firstly, i’d like to say i totally agree with you: Tailgate is 100% adult, it was confirmed transformers don’t have “child” state – they are born as adults. however – we do know how long tailgate lived before he was buried underground – less than 2 weeks:

so it’s not really that he was out for so long as much as simply him being terribly inexperienced…. (an

inexperienced adult not a child (!))
