[He sighs, still annoyed with this but not really interested in dragging it out longer than it needs to be.]
Tailgate, I don't care why you took them, I just want them returned immediately. I've had many weeks worth of writing stored on those datpads and I'd like to complete what I started.
[Well, looks like the cat's outta the bag, whatever that means.
But this is not going to end well.]
Let's just say that if, hypothetically, I did take your datapads. I'd have probably have donated them to someone else to help save the whales. So, I think it'd be accurate to say that they're not going to be returned. In this hypothetical scenario, that is.
[There's a long moment of silence, where Megatron slowly, carefully cycles air through his vents. His hands are clenched into fists, his face is a tentatively controlled frown. One thing is certain: he's getting too damn old for this bullshit.]
[Tailgate instantly switches to his last line of defense: Tears.]
I'm sorry! But they were asking for things to give the mercenaries and I didn't have anything valuable to give them! Please don't be mad, I just wanted to help.

I mean, it's not like you own a lot of things. Process of elimination.

[Somehow, he manages to retain a patient tone:]
You gave them away?
