Megatron was starting to wonder if it would be this easy to win as well, which would be both curious, considering the mech had been a bodyguard, and slightly disappointing, but apparently the Prime wasn't out of the running yet as he tried to get a leg between them.
"And what if you need to do one to do----hnngh--the other?" He was interrupted mid-sentence, vocalizer going thready as Optimus kicked him again, though that was honestly less of an issue than the punch to his neck.
The brief lack of control the kick and the punch in tandem brought was enough to let Optimus start to pull them around, and since he had two parts of his treads mounted on his shoulders, Megatron was slightly heavy on top.
Instead of trying to stop the roll, he wrestled his opponent for his hands, to at least keep them busy and not punching him; he could sacrifice a higher seating advantage for not being punched, but that didn't mean he'd necessarily be willing to not fight the Prime for his advantage.
"I wouldn't claim... expertise so much as an observational ability," he said with a grunt, trying to force Optimus' hands closer to each other and perhaps get them both to be gripped in one of his own. Of course, this brought a risk of the same for him, but this was acceptable.
"And while I abhor the corruption I've seen, forceful methods do not necessarily mean corrupt methods."
