White flag

A white flag is a symbol understood by humans and Transformers alike to mean either a request for a temporary ceasefire to negotiate or a declaration of surrender.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

In the battle at Jan-Ja, Mattock tried to convince Optimus Prime that they didn't stand a chance and that they'd best surrender so that the Decepticons might decide to spare their lives. Optimus ordered him to bring out the white flag, but rather than wave it, Optimus Prime had Mattock bind the wound on his left arm with it. At that, Optimus leapt out of the trenches, and shouted "Never Surrender!". Surrender!
