"No, I called you here to give it to some other Autobot wandering around without a badge," Ratchet says, exaggeratedly patient until he abruptly loses the steam for it and drops his hands back to his crutches, leaning on them a little harder as the sarcasm slides from his voice. "You gave yours to Drift. ...it meant a lot to him. You should have one."
He stiffens slightly. "And it's not like we have a lot of spare plating lying around," he snaps. "It's stripped internally anyway--I needed most of the wiring to rebuild Drift's vocalizer." Whoops, he hadn't really meant to mention that. "It's no good to anybody as it is--might as well make use of it. Look--whatever. Wear it or don't, I don't care. But I figured you should at least have the option."
