Muttering insults right below normal audio-volume and range over the fact that he'd be in the way of the shots if any of them missed the sparkeater itself, Megatron nonetheless pulled and dragged as much as he could to get it away and out from behind Optimus.
He was... halfway successful and ignored the whine of weapons being fired as he locked one arm around the sparkeater's neck while the other closed around its helm. Then he started twisting, the creature trashing in his grip as it (technically both of them) were being fired upon.
It completely dropped all attention away from Optimus, and while that was good, one of its remaining tentacles was sweeping out in front of it, disrupting weapons' fire as much as it attempted to reach any of the guards. One of the other tentacles left, which had been wrapped around his arm, was tearing at his back.
Gritting his teeth, Megatron ignored that and continued to twist, expending as much force and concentration on that as to keep himself upright from the two tentacles still wrapped around his legs and trying to pull him off-balance.
