I agree, but to be fair, if he did call Ratchet a prisoner, he probably would’ve felt uncomfortable and pressured, which would’ve made his creation of the stable formula much slower.

Shockwave is a decepticon, but first things first to him is SCIENCE. If someone speaks his language of SCIENCE, prisoner or not, he’ll be a-ok and will thus address said someone as guest.

[@Froggyman145]

@@Propain4eva Fair, but Ratchet was making significant and steady progress with the Synth-En on low (then _abysmally_ low) technology, whereas Shockwave struggled so badly with advanced (even for Cybertronians) technology to make any progress at all, to the point they just kidnapped Ratchet and said "fuck it, you do this". Ratchet also was able to reverse-engineer what little was still known of space bridge tech to invent the ground bridge Their respective expertise may be mostly in different areas, but in terms of general intelligence/scientific skill they're about equal footing

Of course Megatron thanks him for his work now and then, but when he asks or expects it in return, they never do. Knock Out then realized that Ratchet and the other Autobots were the only ones who treated him with decency. That’s why I was super happy with Knock Out’s choice towards the end of the show.
