It was, all in all, probably the most (or one of the most) truthful answers Optimus would get in a while, at least that easily.
He didn't have a lot of space, so there was nowhere to go but forward and when Optimus avoided him, using his blasted axe to tear up the treads on his left side, Megatron couldn't quite quiet the grunt that slipped out, and the twitched and transformed, landing in a move that him turned towards the Prime, thesimple pointed crystal in his left hand.
Really, a rather sad weapon all in all, considering Optimus had an axe. But not as bad odds as they might appear, if the situation had been different.
"It's just a bit of scuffing, Prime, no need to whine about it." There really was no need for bantering back, but it, like the pain, helped focus him, and briefly Megatron frowned as he noticed Optimus drawing closer towards the doors...
The override preferred it; out in the corridor, it ought to be easier to fight the Prime. Megatron himself, however, briefly managed to draw closer towards the balcony for a few seconds before he was sort of internally jerked back and tooka running leap towards the Prime, the move caluclated to take him past Optimus, the pointed crystal scatching along the metal of his chestplates, digging a gouge that was probably impressively deep for such a glancing blow, but harmless overall.
That didn't not stop the harem-coding from attacking with a vengeance, and Megatron jerked just as he hit the doors, his injured right hand twitching from the painful charge... But this would not - unfortunately - bring him offline.
The end of the leap had Megatron slamming back first into the doors, reaching out to search for the controls to open the door, Megatron - and thus also the active override of the shell program, unaware of the fact that Optimus wanted him at the door.

STOP WHINING, A BIT OF POLISH WILL FIX IT.
