Missing that brief flash of smugness was probably the only thing that saved OPtimus from being treated to a growl and a glare fit to murder. As it was, Megatron was more annoyed at himself that he'd somehow let the Prime trick him into being surprised at something he said.
A brief, isolated incidence - no matter Ratchet's apparent ease about being... ah, loudmouthed - wouldn't sway him. He'd seen enough, and heard more. Optimus had more to do than this, and in the greater course of things, while how prisoners were treated was of course important... This had been in front of the Prime, and discovered. What about all the times it didn't happen in front of someone who would care?
"Perhaps. Your house is a large one... It'll require more than just seeing what's in front of you, however." He was displeased he'd been tricked into giving some sort of concession.
On the other hand, the Prime had done the same to him. No matter if that trust involved enough chains to make it near null and void.
Frowning around the hall, Megatron briefly wondered if they were going to do something else before actually showing him where he'd stay, or... rather, more likely considering what he'd seen and what position he was supposed to have, he wouldn't be able to claim any sort of neglect.
Imprisonment, yes, but that went with the situation, but probably not neglect.
