Really?! In both #1 of the G1 comics and episode 1 of the G1 cartoon, when the Decepticons boarded the Ark, Optimus Prime eagerly led a counter-offensive. There was no "parlay" or negotiation. Likewise when the Autobots first encountered the Decepticons on Earth -- yeah, it was on for young and old!

True that, but there are plenty episodes where Optimus tries to avoid engaging in gunfight too. I guess they do have to try and make him sort of gentle natured him being the Autobot leader and everything.
