I don't know about you guys but I want more “we fucked up” moments of realization from cybertronians when dealing with crazy humans.
They go into battle not seeing the “little squishes’ as threats- in fact as canon fodder. Suddenly then something happens; a human gets a weapon, or one becomes just a little too determined then just like that they kill a Cybertronian, or at least injure them greatly. A prime (pun intended) example of this is with Megatron's reaction to Hardshell’s death.
I mean just look at Megatron's face right here and tell me it isn't immensely satisfying/funny to look at.
Megatron just looks so confused and maybe a little uneasy- as remember from his perspective this is like the equivalent of a chinchilla killing a grown adult man.
Then afterwards he gives this sort of insightful look.
Personally I like to interpret this scene as him thinking whether to consider Miko as a real threat or not. While Megatron definitely has the mindset of looking down at those being beaten by “weaker enemies” even he knows or well recognizes that yes Hardshell was indeed very powerful but…. yet he was defeated by something smaller than his servo.
Just something to think about.
