It's actually about ethics.

Any new weapon created by Autobot engineers at the Kimia Facility must pass Protocol III of the Non-Conventional Weapons Act before it is allowed to be used in "civilized" warfare. It is the job of the Ethics Committee to decide whether said weapons pass the Protocol.

Animus lied in order to get on the Ethics Committee. The Chaos of Warm Things

Brainstorm seemed to take special pride in scandalizing the Committee with proposed weapons so unbelievable and so devastating that nothing short of the imminent destruction of Cybertron and the universe en masse would justify their use. Brainstorm coined the term "the Unmentionables" for his banned inventions, and always goes back to work on the next Unmentionable as soon as the last one is shot down.

The Committee sat in consideration of Ironfist's new invention, cerebro-sensitive bullets that used onboard computers to ensure a killshot to the head with every pull of the trigger, and deemed them in violation of the Non-Conventional Weapons Act. Committee member Trailbreaker openly expressed his horror at such a weapon, and his disapproval of its creator. Bullets
