Knock Out instinctively sidesteps as Starscream comes hurtling at him, letting the seeker crash into the rock face wall instead of his still-preserved finish. Well, that probably didn't look great in front of Megatron. Whoops.

He casts a dubious optic over Starscream before he gives Megatron a nervous smile, hurriedly making with the bowing and scraping. He cannot actually believe he and Breakdown got off relatively scot-free. "Aha -- of course, Lord Megatron -- as you command!"

But as soon as Megatron zooms away from the cave, Knock Out's disposition changes considerably. He immediately grimaces, looking over Starscream with a huff. Now, it's as if he can't believe he has to deal with this.

"Well, I think we got lucky," he mutters, turning a beckoning claw to Starscream. No sense in wasting time now.
