It's a fact that people who don't (or can't) speak are all too often underestimated. So while the Autobots know that he is a dangerous adversary, the fact that he doesn't talk dampens that knowledge enough to give him an edge. So maybe it ties in with his profession? That's true, and it makes a hell of a lot of sense, actually. But it only answers why he doesn't speak around the Autobots... unless he wants the other Decepticons to underestimate him as well?
That and there is a hell of a lot of amusement to be gained when you let people make their own assumptions. That is also true! XD
