Straightening up slightly, both at that open admittance of future possible guilt if he did nothing to change the current course of events, other changes happening or no, and Optimus turning to stare at him, Megatron frowned back narrowly.
"It would be." He paused there, considering what the Prime was saying, what it might mean in general, and for him in particular. Especially considering his actual position, no matter what Optimus might seem to be indicating here.
"And you would include... and listen to a convicted rebel leader, then, giving that sort of power, Prime?" Fully straight-backed now, optics lit with a fierce, coal-hot glow, Megatron put out what had been his misgivings for this whole conversation, however interesting, enlightening and entertaining it had been.
Optimus might of course lie, but Megatron was slowly coming to accept that perhaps he neither was, or would do that, even to a convicted criminal. For Optimus had shown a surprising willingness to consider... unorthodox (or rather, criminal) methods to solve some problems that would benefit Cybertron and its inhabitants, so Megatron was... suspicious but vaguely hopeful (such an ugly word) that what he was saying actually was, or would be, considered and listened to for their merits.
Of course, it was also obvious they had some rather stark differences when it came to dealing with... things. But that was normal.
