[Optimus clasps his hands behind his back, a tinge of amusement tracing through his processors at the huff. For all his cantankerous posturing, Ironhide tended to be a particularly easy read if one merely paid attention.]
I do not believe the Decepticons will launch another assault so soon after such a crushing defeat. They have been cowed by the combined efforts of both Autobot and human alike; to test those powers again would be folly, and Megatron is no fool.
[Insane with power, twisted by dark ideals, yes. Not foolish. Ironhide would know that very, very well.
If Optimus had to guess, Megatron would most likely try to find a way to turn the humans against the Autobots. Separate them. It was a possibility of which he would need to remain aware.
Still...he wanted to offer Ironhide some form of comfort. He knew about which of the Autobots Ironhide worried the most.]
However, should something arise, I will not send Ratchet or Bumblebee unless absolutely necessary.
