[The moment that leg is lifted up, he shifts his weight to knock Tarn on his side, moving to take the Decepticon's back and gain a stronger hold on him.]
[He's pressed up close and the claws easily find armor to slash. Metal shrieks as sparks fly from the struggle - but beyond that, nothing important seems to have been caught in his desperate flailing.]
[His arm only presses tighter around Tarn's neck in response. While Cybertronians had no need to breathe, crimping the energon lines leading to his brain module should be enough to get what Megatron wanted. Hardly lethal, but a dazed or unconscious Tarn is one he could bring back to the Moira without the threat of the crew being massacred on sight.]
[All he had to do was keep his hold and wait, no matter how much nuke he'd pumped through his systems.]
