"You might make a valid point. Might," Jetfire admits in defeat. He only emphasizes the 'might' so that Starscream doesn't get a more inflated ego than it already is. It is kind of true regardless. He had only been taken that one time because he had wanted to meet Shockwave.

This, though... This isn't really getting them anywhere. Bickering back and forth is something that is natural. Familiar in a way that almost makes it feel like it used to. That is a feeling that Jetfire shakes off for the moment.

"I suppose I should look for others."

Since Starscream probably doesn't want or need Jetfire around now. Not until it suits him to.
