"Your crew? All you've done is been appointed and then started giving orders!" Because Optimus put him there, because Optimus didn't think Rodimus could do it. Wouldn't give him the chance to prove himself. It still hurts, and he looks particularly childish.
"You're right. He is your responsibility. People have died because of him. But if you're going to use the whole 'our crew' thing, then I'm going to be there." Doing what, he doesn't know. But he won't let Megatron take this one completely from him. It's then that the gravity of what Megatron says, or how he says it, hits Rodimus. That's...
Unnerving? Yep. Nudging all the bits of Rodimus that had experience with that particular part of Megatron? Absolutely. If Rodimus was gifted with the Cybertronian version of warning bells, they'd be ringing. As it is, Megatron just gets: "You should have handled this before he nearly killed Drift!"
