The compliments alone are enough to make Cliffjumper's optics widen a bit, the light brightening and even if he's embarrassed or shy - Cliffjumper can't tell which it is anymore he just knows he's nervous - he automatically leans his helm into the hand anyway.
"Okay, that's... good." And then Cliffjumper's basic nature takes over and there's brief, growly rev of his engine, and a brief scowl crossing over his faceplates.
"I just dunno... slag it all! What to do," Cliffjumper finally hisses, staring further down instead of at Optimus' face, frustrated. You'd think it'd be easy, right? It's not as if the basics aren't there, but apparently that's not helping, and that's just making Cliffjumper angry (at himself) as well as nervous.
