"You've read too many cheap thrillers," Megatron said with a roll of his optics, waiting for Orion to give in - which he did, because it was obvious he was being sort of... pulled.
Which, maybe, a better person would've made sure Orion didn't give in, consciously or subconsciously to said pull. Megatron wasn't that good of a person, however, and he was also rather convinced it was safe - and would only mean an advantage for Orion if he did it.
So he didn't try to lunge forward to snatch the crystal away when the force field disappeared and the crystal fell, for a brief moment, into Orion's hand.
And then, of course, it melted, like the purple one had.
