Forte didn't care if Starscream was dishonest, as long as he was useful.

"Dishonesty, I don't care about. We're trying to find the same thing. But cowardice is unforgivable."

The boy wasn't an expert on humans, but despite Lugnut's size, he didn't look well. Forte considered suggesting food, but plenty of people had been trying to convince him to eat, and it wasn't Forte's job to nurse a potential ally to health (apparently, that was Blitzwing's job). But the injuries were interesting.

"How did you get hurt? Did you get into a fight?"
