Tarn falls atop Ratchet with a hiss at the direct hit to his pelvic plating. He barely even feels the hit to his head, too distracted by the shooting pain. Pulling himself together he straightens up, glaring down at Ratchet fiercely.

"I warned you, Autobot, I really did. This entire situation could have been avoided had you not been so damned Stubborn. I have been more than patient with you, and this is the thanks I get." Tarns stands, grabbing Ratchet by the same knee that was used to assault him. "This hurts me more than I hurts you." He twists the knee joint, destroying it's inner workings and breaking cables, before letting him drop back to the ground.
