Skullcruncher tried to move as carefully as he could while carrying Shockwave's precious artifact from the storage into the cyclops lab. And that made the large Decepticon to move even slower than normal. It was likely frustrating for a more agile mech like Shadowing, who had to work far more to synch his movement with Skullcruncher's slow and meticulous way of moving around. Particularly as it was Skullcruncher who was carrying most of the weight of the cyberforming control interface. At least the Thanatos' floors weren't covered in grime and grease like the case was with the Ultrax.
In the end, the rather odd pairing of Decepticons for such a job - did arrive to their target destination. And only to receive more orders the instant they did so. Not that it wasn't to be expected. As Skullcruncher moved with Shadowing into the bay three and gently placed the device down - Shockwave was already speaking to the ship's intercom.
The large Decepticon could only shrug his shoulders and turn to Shadowing with a puzzled look on his face. "Eh? What now?"
Weirdwolf had wasted little time wondering about why Knockout was eyeing him very suspiciously. Apparently he had just spoken out aloud what he had been thinking. It wasn't too surprising to the tracker. It was infidenitely frustrating though. In Knockout's case it had really been just about Weirdwolf's killer's instict making a quick survey of how to kill a possible prey. He had never intended to actually attack the two Decepticons sitting in the mess hall. This annoying habit of his had cost the tracker far too many Autobot targets for his liking but there was very little he could do about it. Even Hook and Scrapper had been out of ideas when they had taken a look inside his cranium after a mission that had nearly proved to be fatal for Weirdwolf.
And thus, instead even considering to enter into combat with Knockout, Weirdwolf had left the mess hall with Blackwind after Shockwave decided to make another surprise request that included the tracker as well.
