It was a good decision to keep his distance, because the miner's first reaction to the maneuver was a hostile step forward, the pinched hand in question immediately clenching into a fist as soon as it was able. He tests it as Ratchet speaks, having the other at the ready to launch this Autobot through a few walls should he get close again. He may have been injured, but he was more than capable of defending himself if need be.

But he stops, his own venting calming as Ratchet continues to explain. Were it not for his earlier reactions to Sentinel and Megatron's own appearance, he'd be giving him a much more skeptical look. Ratchet had a point. A very valid one. It was his own distrust of that red insignia and his personal hate for the bot in question that was keeping him from cooperating.

Fortunately, he was too weakened and out of medics to continue to be stubborn with him. At least for the time being.

"Just get it over with," he growls back, sitting back down on the medical slab. He could talk to Ratchet about assurances after he was fully refueled.
