Never Hope

by SemanticSunset

A story about existential anguish, desperation, and maybe even hope..Tailgate had little time to react as the ground wailed suddenly and gave way beneath him. He fell through the metallic crust and gave to the pull of Cybertron’s gravity. He tried to grab anything to stop his fall but anything he managed to snag snapped in his servos. The solid floor below rose quickly to meet him. The weight of his trailer bore down on his back. It would crush him when the floor caught them, Tailgate realized despairingly. He would be wrecked.And then Tailgate crashed, stopping suddenly against the metal below. His trailer landed directly on him, pinning his lower half. New sensations bloomed up Tailgate’s spinal circuits; and although new, the feeling was instinctually recognizable: raw, undampened pain..(re-written and re-organized again, thanks)

Never Hope

by SemanticSunset

A story about existential anguish, desperation, and maybe even hope.Tailgate should have known better as soon as the traffic faded around him. He did know better. Whatever happened now was fully and undeniably his own fault. Bright red warning lights filled his visual feed as the solid metal quickly rose to meet him. He would be wrecked, dashed and broken, his story over before it even began.[Contains spoilers for Tailgate's character]

Something follows Cyclonus back from the Dead Universe. It wears a Cybertronian body and gives itself a pronounceable name, but he still remembers what it looked like before it decided it liked him.

Cute isnt Easy

by Lights321

An alternative universe where the Lost Light have missed Tailgate and instead... the DJD stumble across our favourite minibot instead. This fic will simply be in tiny drabbles featuring Tailgate amongst the galaxy's most fearsome bots.(There may be familiar lines in this work of fiction, and they do not belong to me. Anything that looks familiar to the book, IS NOT MINE. The quotes belong to James Roberts, and the awesome people who drew the comic series)
