[He's not going to say that Starscream would kill whoever he found of least use, and least importance to himself and his chances for survival... There might be a few more criteria, but with what happened in the pit, he's not certain they pertain to (him) anyone anymore.]
Perhaps I simply aren't enough of a warrior, Ironhide, but while I can see the cold logic and reason in that, no matter what we could gain from it, from a scientific standpoint and survival point of view, I'm not going to have us either kill Starscream... or sacrifice either of us to find out if it works.
[No matter that he'd basically went to certain death against Sunstorm; that had been a special situation and Jetfire wasn't suicidal.]
