He almost turned right around when he finally spotted Ratchet, even when the mech acknowledged he knew someone was by the door. Of course, if he left now, Ratchet would probably chase him down later and then he'd have to tell him anyway.

But delaying seemed like a really good idea right now, because Cliffjumper was regretting his decision to get ratchet's opinion. Would he even know anything?

Though Mirage's comments would suggest he did, and Cliffjumper groaned then - and now Ratchet would definitely have picked up enough to know it was him so...

"... I just... uh, need to ask somethin'," Cliffjumper muttered as he eyed the crates. He didn't particularly want to be 'volunteered' to help, but he wouldn't run away either. Well, at least not because of that.
