It's clear where the conviction and will to do all that he did during the war came from, in how Megatron doesn't back down. He's just as drained and a lot less hurt but no part of him seems willing to give into it as Optimus is.
"Not convenient to go through with it, is it?" he says hatefully, moving back as his optics narrow. He will at least make it clear that even if he wants to smack the insufferable Prime, he won't. Not now. Maybe later. Probably later. "It's your own psyche you're dragging through barbed wire, looking to justify and find reason and blame behind everything. Sometimes action simply needs to be taken. Not that you damn Primes could understand that, given how you'll break your own spinal strut to make everything your own fault."
He doesn't say it out loud, but he definitely considers his Optimus separate from that. He's perfect, obviously.
