Earth: Tailgate

Tailgate would love rain.

One day he is brought to Earth and he sits out in an open field. The sky darkens, the distant rumble of thunder and the flash of lightning startle him from his thoughts.

Then it starts raining. Slow at first, then the downpour begins. The ground at his feet becomes slick, and it begins to stick.

It's cool against his plating. No burning sensation that was common with the little acid rain he came into contact on Cybertron.

Tailgate let's out a laugh as he stretches his hands towards the darkened sky. He let's the water flow through his seams of his fingers, his hands, his arms.

'What an amazing little planet!' He thought.
