Optimus, actually, had been dumped not far away, on the other side of the room. Fairly stupid of them, considering, even with the guard standing over him. If he fought his way free of the null ray effects... but that wouldn't happen any time soon, with how many times he had been shot. He could only clearly feel his face and half of his left foot, even if the pins and needles in his circuits were dissipating. And he supposed having Cliffjumper there, already under attack by the hackers, made for a readily available hostage.

...And the looks Ratbat had passed him, as his minions had carted them off to their rooms, did not exactly bode well.

So he silently continued to strain his systems, trying to regain his own frame.
