"You will not be able to harm me. Nor anyone else, with the exception of in self-defense."

Notice how there is no mentioned exception for self-defense against the Prime. Optimus paused as a red and white medic entered, glowering as he approached the chained rebel. The guards tightened their hold, expecting trouble as the medic prepared his kit, getting the same spiel over the comms, with far more specific, detailed guidelines.

Ratchet does not like installing this programming, but he knows why it must be done.

"Your ability to roam will be severely limited - within a certain set area depending on where I am and where we may be at the time. Violating such boundaries would not be...recommended, as it is a modification of the house arrest coding."

Which, depending on the crime and the amount of struggling the convicted might attempt against the program, ranged from a mild, warning tingle to full on stasis lock. All of which involved turning the involved mech's own circuits against him to cause a painful, debilitating feedback loop.

Optimus, much to Ratchet's intense - but silent - displeasure, was the lack of a mention for the bugging programming he was silently ordering the medic to include.

Megatron would be free to talk to whoever he would like - and the program would catch and relay it all.
