"That-" Optimus started, huffing and primed for a fight, rifle pulled from subspace despite Megatron's sudden compliance. "Is a perfect example of the type of assault you could retaliate against. If it had been against you instead of these guards."
Who were getting pings from their Prime as they struggled back up to their feet, both concerns for their health and a warning not to jump the criminal like - given the building engine growls - they obviously wanted to do. Clearly Optimus had become far too lax with himself once he had become Prime, relying on guards rather than his own skills.
"As it is, you're lucky you did it here and not elsewhere, or you'd already be dead."
'You're lucky it's me' went unsaid. This 'Megatron' was going to be a massive pain in the aft.
"Are you alright, Ratchet?" The medic rolled his optics, straightening himself back out, as though he had not come a hairsbreadth away from being attacked.
"Fine Prime. Are you going to go back on your crazy idea after that, or do you still want me to deal with this?"
Optimus raised an optic ridge, giving Megatron's downed frame a long look.
"Tempting. But no, I will not. Guards, if you would hold the accused in place this time?"
