The Help of a Single Spark

Sam watched as the flatbed tow truck drove past him heading toward the Med bay hanger followed closely by the neon green Medic.

"Seriously, I mean how many times did he try to kill us?" He asked as he turned back around to face Ironhide.

"I can't stand it either Sam but Ratchet has this whole immunity to seeing the evil side of a Mech when their injured." He grumbled. "He even forced Barricade onto the tow truck. He was hiding out on a junkyard outside of Mission city. They must have thought he was scrap in the aftermath of the battle."

"I don't understand. It's been like several months after the battle I thought you guys like regenerated. Why didn't he fix himself?" Sam asked.

"You can only regenerate up to a certain point Sam, but without Energon to speed up the process it can take forever without a medic's help." Ironhide replied.

"So how'd he find him anyway?" the boy queried.

"Ratchet picked up a low emergency beacon signal, it kicked on when Barricade's Energon levels got too low to maintain his spark. It's a failsafe for Mechs in a battle field only medics can retrieve the signal." The gruff truck answered.

"So what happens when he's fixed? He's gonna keep trying to kill us, right? So what's the point?" Sam turned to start heading towards the med bay.

"I don't know Sam. The wars over maybe with Ratchet helping him Barricade will start to realize that too. I so hope this doesn't bite us in the ass" Ironhide sighed.

Then he grumbled internally... I've already been around the humans too much I'm starting to sound like them.
