Except with the way the trailer was swaying as Optimus did his best to imitate the racing car he wasn't, the minibot was convinced not to do so and merely held on.

::Yeah, always what I wanted; be a main character in a 'action-holo of the season' type thing.:: Depsite the snappy tone, Cliffjumper realized that this whole thing, from when he'd found out Ratbat's little secrets up until now (cutting out the boring parts, of course) kind of did play out like that.

It startled a slightly embarrassed and amused laughter out of him, even as he clutched on harder as they came out of a tunnel...

::Frag me---:: He didn't have time to voice any warning as two more race-car type Cybertronians came up on each side of Optimus, and the bodyguard was probably getting warning comms from the decoys about a flyer each on each decoy, attempting to land---

Seeker--- Who suddenly went skidding off the trailer as some of the Tower guard who had been waiting around close shot him off.
