"I could very well ask the same thing of you!" Starscream squawked confusedly. His expression was a rather comical combination of fury and bafflement. He wasn't really sure what to make of finding Knockout here. It could spell danger... But if the med-bot was on his own and not sent out as part of some sort of search party this could work to his benefit. And of all of the Decepticon officers, Knockout was one of the more desirable individuals to have show up like this. His obedience and motivation left something to be desired of course, but he was skilled in both medical treatment and combat. And most importantly, he wasn't utterly and disgustingly devoted to Megatron.

At least, as far as he was aware of, he wasn't... Starscream vowed to keep that in mind.

He arched an eyebrow skeptically and continued: "And that's Commander Starscream to you," he said with a irked growl, lowering his weapon slowly.
