"Hfff--" Being shoved back against the wall didn't move him much, but the bite, besides being potentionally dangerous, shot charge like from a live wire down his circuits.
He'd have vastly preferred it if Orion had completely lost his just for pursuing the current course of action and just turned to violence and then left - it was far easier to ride out such a thing.
Megatron's intended snarky condescension that he'd so far not noticed much of an issue with his position (at least in term of actual threat, nevermind the state of his wounded pride and self-image or the overloads) got lost somewhere in the first few snapping thrusts between spike and cables.
More than that, the sudden resurgence of the former pace where his valve hardly had a chance to adjust to the girth pushing in before it was withdrawn, charge flickering madly along filaments and chasing the connection and this time with the added dizziying flicker of Orion's presence and the push against his sensor net, overrode any previous adjustments.
Megatron would be embarrassed when he had time to think about it later as his vocaliser spat static and his optics flared, vaguely trying to shift his position as much as he could (which wasn't much) to find a better one to catch up and deal with Orion and it didn't work.
Gritting his teeth against it but unable to widen his focus, his awareness spiralled down to nearly achingly charged wiring and circuits, his valve which was automatically going too tight as Orion withdrew because he was moving too fast and then got pushed wide and the blasted jacks in his ports---
The overload - third or fourth, he wasn't sure - crashed down and this time there was a forced, cascading reboot.
