He knew it was extremely unlikely, but if he had then the Decepticreeps might not have found them... or even if they had, maybe they might have been able to beat them off?
Somewhere, Cliffjumper admitted than what would most likely have happened would have been that he'd probably actually been shot dead, while Mirage would still have been captured, unharmed or maybe even injured.
Maybe the best outcome had been what had happened, but... it didn't feel right even if that was true. He didn't feel like he'd done enough, for a fellow Autobot or someone he vaguely admitted was somebody he had a crush... at the least, on.
