There isn't even time for Starscream to feel relieved between when Megatron lets go of his shoulder and when he goes right for the weak spot. Where Knock Out might be fussy about his finish, Starscream was (perhaps less vocally) particular about his wings, which was something that Megatron never failed to take advantage of when he could in past situations such as this. Oh sure, it was a convenient hand hold and a way to keep the seeker from taking off while his back was turned, but to Starscream it also smacked of being something sadistic (whether Megatron actually intended it that way or not).
And then the next thing he knows he's hoisted straight up off of the ground by it and it's all he can do to keep from squalling in agonized protest. Twisting it was one thing, but a single wing wasn't meant to hold up the entirety of the rest of his weight like that on its own, and of course Megatron knows that just like he knows all of Starscream's weakest points with a particularly disgraceful intimacy. Thousands of years of working together and plotting against one another had made sure of that.
It takes an extremely concerted effort on his part to not squirm and show any weakness by grabbing on to Megatron's arm in an attempt to remove some of the pressure off of his wing joint, but he only manages that for a few seconds before he can't take the sensation of it anymore and latches on at the wrist with both hands. His feet still kick, searching for solid ground as they dangle helplessly off the floor.
"You are far too gracious, My Lord, truly this is more mercy than any of us deserve--" he grits out in an extremely strained voice, the subtext of which being you've made your point now let me go already before you tear my damn wing off.
