really cool i could just see this happening, Ironhide could never stay off the battlefield and Ratchet would just keep thinking off things to keep him there.

aw like it :P

It's just like Ironhide to be raring to get back into battle when he's injured. What a Ratchet to do?

I really loved that last paragraph. I do believe that it captures the feelings of many.

Yep, just let ol' Ironhide do his thing, Ratchet! You really captured their personalities very well!

"But Ironhide had the will so Ratchet found the way." Best line--because it's true. Ratchet always finds the way. Bravo.

You have a gift for character voice.

XD Reading well written banter between these two never gets old.
