Optimus smirked lightly, before simply shrugging again, not rising to the bait - he simply didn't find it tempting in the least. He had an entire host of excuses and explainations - and most of them were at least mostly true.
"That doesn't mean some other races can't fight back, even if they seem to be slowly failing at it. There are a lot of planets and colonies in that sector, and all our sources show they had been fighting hard until just recently. Even some of the Outer Rim news sites touched on it, not that many bots heard."
And if they had had enough man power before now, they would have helped, and Optimus felt a pang of guilt and conern at their helplessness there. Even if they had no alliances with the unknown races - against the Quintessons, Cybertronians would join up with anyone short of those allied with the Unmaker himself.
But they couldn't even protect themselves properly, back then or now.
