Good to know. He would have happily shot it without the warning, and apparently would have blown them all up.
Megatron's roar seemed to break some of the spell over the rest of the group, several guards shuddering down to their struts as they stumbled back, shaking their helms clear of static. Others, like Ironhide especially, were clearly trying to work their way closer despite the shock to their sparks.
The Overseer made no such attempts, however, jaw working soundlessly. Optimus couldn't help but wonder if he had ever even been so close to the creature he had been feeding his workers to.
Meanwhile, Optimus lunged again, swinging his blade to try and cut more of the beast's tentacles off. By now at least, the thrum of battle and the Matrix warming his spark replaced the distracting throb from before, and he could attack with his whole processor on the task.
The first and second swings missed, the sparkeater grown canny to his attacks. But it's focus was increasingly torn between the both of them. When it lunged again, wicked claws scraping against the Prime's plating, Optimus was able to stab his blade down into the shoulder joint, nearly tearing it's arm away when the burning blade withdrew.
