The Prime swaying from his punch caused Megatron to make a low, pleased sound. Even as he attempted to twist his captured hand out of the grip, Megatron continued to speak, which was probably not the best thing to do; he was capable of multitasking, yes, but fighting (even sparring) wasn't something one should do with a split-attention processor in the long run if one wanted to win.
"I know you're not. This was hypothetical future--" Since Optimus twisted his arm upwards as he tried to twist his hand out of the grip, the only thing he accomplished was to make his sensor shriek at him as his hand was forced down onto the floor above his head.
Growling, Megatron knew he'd have to work without that hand; he did try to get some leverage by running the treads on that arm, but the way his shoulder was built and the fact that the Prime now could lean his weight on that hand meant it was pretty much stuck there.
And since he'd pinned Optimus' other hand rather awkwardly with a knee, it wasn't too hard for the Prime to pull it away, but Megatron ignored that, and went for the elbow joint of that arm instead, intent on using a pit-fighting technique that involved twisting the joint and pushing a finger or two in...
If he could manage that, the Prime would have a useless arm for a while, and he'd be able to work from there.
