Even weak, it pleased him he could do some damage, though that was partly, of course, because Megatron knew where and how to hit, even when pressured and tired. He was deadly, even marginally contained as he was.
Engine giving a roar as Optimus hit him in the jaw - the chin guard deflected some small amount of damage, but ideally he should've tucked his helm down and in to make Optimus hit the very armoured front part of his helm. He hadn't quite had to speed of reaction to do that though, and instead he got a faceful of helm which slammed his into the wall.
His hand was already going for Optimus' neck when he was kicked and their legs tangled... and really, disoriented as he was, there was no resistance at all as Megatron went down on his knees, vision wavering with static from the hit of Optimus' helm as well as the whack against the wall, despite the armour.
Just give him a moment or so, however. Weakened or not, he was not giving up... he just needed a faint bit more, since what he was using to fight with was nothing more than what he had left after his work-out. Depsite everything, Optimus still didn't really count as an enemy, and so reserves were held in... well. Reserve.

Which frustrated him.
