[He points accusingly at Shadow as he speaks to Tails.]

You ask me to bequeath one of my creations to him when you and I both know he'll destroy it without a thought or care! I'm not made of spare parts and my adorable automatons would be better suited with people who won't seek to break them the moment they have one.

Guarantee that this one won't destroy my glorious work, and I would be happy to part with a second.
