It doesn’t matter that I couldn’t punish you! I had no reason to! Do you want to be punished further? You’ve already done that to yourself!

*He winces, closing his optics and refocusing for a few moments. When he continues, his voice is quieter.*

… Why would he grant favors to the mech who tried actively to end him?

No, but I’m allowed to be surprised, right? … And yeah, don’t punish me further. Dork energon’s punishment enough

…

Oh. That would be a problem, huh?

Well, I mean, you not having dark energon in you would be good for him as well, right? And you know you can talk, make amends… It doesn’t hurt to try, right?

He lets the conversation end there, not willing or able to offer an adequate answer. Primus has approached him before… or at least, Prophet has. Megatron has difficulty separating the herald from his god, despite having no such issue between Soundwave and Unicron. 

He still has doubts, but on the slim chance he succeeds, it will solve so much. If Primus refuses him… there will be no surprise.
