"Doing it elsewhere would require me to have done it prior to the trial, or after this and then, as intended, I wouldn't be able to do it, correct?" He stayed down, and there was absolutely no resistance when the guards, still growling and engines rumbling, pulled him upright again.
He was not harmless. But neither would he injure anyone (or kill) on the off-chance that he could get out - he knew that this was much too far down and in to have gotten out - or to make a point. The point hadn't been the injuries he hadn't inflicted; merely that he could not be so easily contained.
He would be as troublsome as he could. Though maybe it had been bad judgement to have reacted so soon.
"I wouldn't have touched him." Megatron glanced from medic to Prime, his arched look betraying only dry amusement and pretending the guard who was now holding his wrists at the cuffs wasn't digging something small and sharp into the gap.
The sensor nodes that were being being destroyed that way would be fixed by his self-repair, and the pain..? Well, it helped him focus.
"It would be a pity, after all, to deprive the medic who've already applied a very similar coding once, the irony of doing it again... to the same mech. Isn't that right, Ratchet?" The grin and nearly purring tone didn't change at all, even as the guard stabbed whatever-it-was deeper; the only reaction was a brief and slight flare of Megatron's optics, which could have been anything.
Amazing.
The fool had just severed a few of the fine-motor control wires and cables. As if that wouldn't be noticed. If the glitch was going to apply non-standard restraint and retaliatory torture perhaps he shouldn't do it (albeit hidden) in front of the Prime who did seem to have some level of decency.
