Despite it being his idea, Starscream's doubts about taking Spamton to the Harbinger only grew as they approached their destination. He had intended to keep his location secret from all for as long as possible, and was unsettled by Spamton retaining the advantage of being able to hide. But what choice did he have? He had to return sooner rather than later to store and refine the energon Spamton had brought him. Besides, the two of them were working together... for now. They needed a base of operations.
The flight to the canyon served as a perfect opportunity for him to examine the other mech. It was hard to recall exactly how long it had been since he last witnessed flight without the use of a vehicle mode, aside from Laserbeak. It only further confirmed his suspicions that Spamton was some form of Predacon. Something he could perhaps prod at during their tour.
Once the canyon was directly below them, he swooped downwards, heading directly for the wreck nestled in the rocks. He opened his cockpit, releasing the energon crystals he was carrying and letting them fall beside him. He accelerated towards the ground to ensure he would reach it first. He transformed before touching down, plucking each crystal out of the air as it fell towards him before finally straightening out. He may have been showing off. Just a little bit.
"Here we are. The Harbinger. Before you berate it for its... lack of polish, let me assure you that is completely intentional. Anything flashy would attract unwanted attention. This is a purely tactical decision."
