Optimus going more into detail like that had the minibot squirming in place, both out of some slight embarrassment over hearing it phrased baldly like that, as well as some... interest.
"... Technically... there's, er. Enough time, but if we ain't... outta here soon, Mirage's probably gonna pop a fuse or somethin'," Cliffjumper finally offered, having done his best to stay still at the brief pass of the cloth over his aft and then pushing away from the wall and turning around when indicated he should do so.
"Ya know, I wonder how much of a guard, beside you, he's collected for this?" Cliffjumper grumped quietly, indicating 'this' with a wave of his hand. It wasn't that he wouldn't appreciate having more than just Optimus - however competent - between himself and Ratbat... or any of Ratbat's plans or minions, he still didn't like the implication that it was needed.
Despite the fact that it most probably was, as a deterrent if nothing else.
