You know what hurts? This. This really hurts. And even Rodimus can't help the sound that escapes him, teeth clenching so hard he thinks he might dislocate his jaw as well. Whatever, he's had worse. Time to show Tarn he's still not impressed by this over the top display of whatever the hell he thinks he's doing.

"'Uppity Autobot imbeciles'? Is that really the best you can do?" Rodimus, no. "I'm kind of fond of Decepticreep. Maybe I should use it more often."

But Megatron's omission gives him a kind of grim satisfaction, and a distraction from the obvious problem of his arm gently being twisted out of place, and probably off. "Great, you've finally realized what everyone else has known from the beginning. I'm still standing by what I said: you deserve to die, and you know you do." But could you possibly do it after you've called off your horrible teenage oc, please and thank. "Yeah? What use is having a psychopathic killer alive when half the people here are on his list? Are you just going to let him kill them, too? Just a few more deaths that are your fault."

Ripping out his voice box might be the simple solution to getting things done at this point, honestly.
