Well fuck there comes the literal headlight. He flinches, optics straining in the light for a second until they adjust, and then laughs nervously, skimming the armor for any sign of some kind of sigil so that he can determine just how afraid he should be of this thing. It has to have one, right? It's only common courtesy, he's still wearing his Decepticon badge, after all.
