"Take your rightful place before me," Megatron snapped. "On your knees, Optimus Prime."
"No," Optimus spat, straining against the electrical chains that bound him to the floor before Megatron's throne. "I will never bow to you, Megatron."
"Very well." Megatron lifted a hand, and the chains' voltage spiked. Optimus convulsed violently as the pain and the electrical surge hit his systems, in too little control of his body to even scream. A few seconds later, Megatron let his hand fall, and the voltage dropped; Optimus collapsed to the ground, smoking gently.
"Have you reconsidered, Prime?" Megatron asked mockingly.
"No. Never."
