I doubt violence would solve anything, but even if it did, there would need to be a clear plan of attack, and a greater than sixty percent chance of success.

[Of course Ironhide would be the type to prefer to, if not solve, at least attack a problem with violence.]

Which part? That he saved an Autobot? He brought Bumblebee out of the pit we were in while I went off to confront Sunstorm. Or that he was... worse, earlier in the war?

[Jetfire's voice is soft, and there's a frown on his faceplates, more thoughtful than anything else.]

I have no idea what happened, but he was--- Well, even with how little I've seen since he thawed me, he's closer to how he was in the Academy than in the early war.

[A shake of his helm as he tosses a glance down the corridor.]

And I care because we neither want nor need a Starscream stuck in the past. I much prefer what he's become compared to what he turned into during the war.

[Not that what he's become is that much more stellar, but it's a giant improvement... and easier to deal with since it's more familiar. Then they're finally - though a lot more faster than two humans would be, obviously - at Ironhide's room.]

Ironhide... [There's a brief few astroseconds of hesitation.] While you might prefer no further assistance with this... from me or otherwise, consider it would you? If your self-repair can't fix the injury adequately and something happens...

[There's no need to finish the sentence, Ironhide is hardly stupid.]
