Starscream (the orange boasting robot) said this since 5:22 in this video as his comrade tell him to stop boasting and they're about to fight:

How do i understand "Process this" in this case? Since they're alien robots.

(Process this) is a way of saying (Get this). It's a way of saying (Understand this).
In this case, it's a funny way to tell another "computer" or "robot" to (understand) or (realize) something by using the word (process).
I hope this makes sense.

@Qonshab0 Still don't understand, the tank robot told Starscream not too being confident and get back to work and Starscream said "Process this". I don't understand why he says "Understand this" to him at all.

I see. It was a way of him saying ("Understand" that you are going to die!) Starscream was being "sarcastic" to the other robot.
I don't mean to confuse you.

@Qonshab0 There are 2 possiblities i think Starscream would mean by saying this, i guess:
1. I understand (what you want) now, you're going to die!
2. (I'm going to attack you) So take this. And you're going to die!
1. I understand (what you want) now, you're going to die!
2. (I'm going to attack you) So take this. And you're going to die!

Me again, sorry. It was also Starscream's way of saying (no), and that he would rather battle.
If that makes any sense?

@Qonshab0 ah, we had the same thought process! (i said a similar thing of this person’s other question lol)

@DangYeonSim Do you know the phrase “get this”? When someone says “get this” in a certain way it means something like “look at this, understand this, listen to what i’m saying right now”.
i’ll try to give you examples and explain using ‘get this’ instead of ‘process this’ (because ‘process this’ only really makes sense because they are robots haha).
A: I’m tired of of you acting like this. It’s really starting to bother me.
B: Well get this, I don’t really care!
A: Did you hear what happened to Mary?
B: I did. And get this, Jerry was there too!
A: You would never do something like this!
B: Oh really? Well, get this, the old me is gone.
(I’m so bad at examples but I hope I explained well!)

@lovewish I understand the meaning of "Get this", i've been learning English for 14 years at least but it doesn't make sense to me in this case. If you tell me it mean "Get This" in this case then i think the only way i can describe it is "I got what you mean now (you want to fight so ok, just fine me). You're finished"
- English (US)
@DangYeonSim yes! "I got what you mean now (you want to fight so ok, just fine me). You're finished" is a really good way to think about it. At this point the robot does not care, he’s too cocky right now. ^—^

@lovewish @Qonshab0 This will be my last question, i won't bother you anymore after this one. Also in the same this video, this is what they says since 5:39 to 6:18 after Starscream said "Process This" above:
Demolisher: That’s it. I’ve had enough of you. (Does "That's it" mean "Yeah, that's right" in this case?)
Megatron: Get back online, you two (He mean "Get back to work, you two"?)
Demolisher: One of these days, Starscream (Does he mean "One day, you'll pay for that, Starscream"?)
Demolisher: That’s it. I’ve had enough of you. (Does "That's it" mean "Yeah, that's right" in this case?)
Megatron: Get back online, you two (He mean "Get back to work, you two"?)
Demolisher: One of these days, Starscream (Does he mean "One day, you'll pay for that, Starscream"?)
- English (US)
For the first one, you can think of ‘That’s it!’ as ‘Stop!’ or even better you can think of it as ‘That’s enough!’ (Because Demolisher is fed up with Starscream).
The last two are correct <3
