Prime sighed in exhaustion and asked; "Why are you covering Ironhide's duty shift Prowl?"
"Ironhide took a blast to his shoulder joint that damaged his derma-plating and refuses to come out of the med bay until Ratchet can re-attach it to his Protoform."
"Why?" Spike asked curiously.
"Would you go to school naked?"
"No, but what's that got to do with anything?"
"For us, armour is like clothes, derma-plating would be similar to underwear and showing your protoform to others is the Cybertronian equivalent to a human walking around naked."
"Oh, so no Ironhide till he's fixed then?"
"Exactly." Prowl finished as he turned back to his terminal.
