Rodimus bites back a sarcastic remark about what he thinks of the Decepticon's policy regarding their wounded and instead gives a lop-sided shrug, trying not to wince as he does. "What can I say? I'm sick of playing for the losing team." He doesn't like the way this con is circling him.

"Listen, you look like a smart 'bot," Rodimus starts, watching Knock Out closely. "Without Optimus the Autobots are dead in the water...you and I both know that," he hesitates for a moment. Rodimus can talk his way into or out of a lot of things, but he's got no idea who he's playing to here. "I'm just trying to cut my losses."
