#bot maintenance

My transformation sequences are becoming a little sluggish, and this would indicate that there is an obstruction either in my T-Cog or in the cogs and gears that surround it. 

I am currently in my vehicular mode and Lia is vacuuming my interior with a hand-held suction device. It is rather a pleasant sensation, as the weather here is at a comfortably warm temperature and my tyres expand in the heat. Think of it as stretching after a good night’s sleep; it is an enjoyable physical sensation to me. 

Some of the other bots are very particular about what is allowed into their vehicular mode. For example, Ratchet does not allow anyone to eat or drink in his interior. He is worried about stains and obstructions. I am less particular, I don’t mind if Lia has to eat or drink when I she is riding with me in vehicle mode. Her comfort, health and safety are my top priorities, and I will not do anything to compromise her in anyway. She repays me by giving me a thorough wash and a wax whenever I require it. The experience is far more favourable than those automatic car washers that you find at the refueling stations. In all my time on earth, I have only ever found one automatic washer large enough to accommodate my rather large vehicular form. 

Lia is currently laying across the driver’s seat with her legs sticking out of the door. She is cleaning in between the two seats, so far the debris collected from my interior has filled two plastic grocery bags. 

I may start a tickle war later on ;)
