Optimus held out an arm to stifle any further objections, save for the commentary from the prisoner. He had the right to speak.
"It isn't much of one. But it is your choice, and the only one I can offer, in good unconscious. You can choose death, for your crimes. ...The more serious crimes at least. Indecency generally does not equal execution."
Optimus rolled his optics. Deathly-serious situation or not, even he through that charge was ridiculous.
"Death for the death of others. Or, you may pay out your penance in a more traditional manner, and elect to join the Primacy Harem."
He ignored the hiss from the aid at his side, watching the condemned mech closely. He wouldn't be surprised if he were the type to choose death over loosing his freedom and being saddled with mild consort-coding. It is not a life Optimus would choose again...
But he had never chosen it, and Megatron had set himself up for this fate when he took the freedom from others who had wished to live.
