For a good long moment Rodimus is too angry at Tarn to form a coherent response. He doesn't care about the accusation of cowardice... no, he cares. He cares a lot. But how much he cares is instantly eclipsed by Tarn's next comment and how much he cares about that. Which means there's really only one course of action involved - launching himself at Tarn.
Yes. Literally launching himself, because common sense and Rodimus were never on speaking terms and it has now completely abandoned him. Sure, Tarn is bigger and... Tarn-y, purple and very very much a walking, talking machine of death and destruction but Rodimus has faced Megatron head on and only come away with a giant gaping hole in his chest.
Aiming to throw himself at Tarn so he can hit and kick whatever his hands and feet can reach is clearly a well-reasoned, justified response and not resulting from bad judgement made worse by anger. Obviously.
And if he can slap that drink out of his hands, so much the better.

"Don't ever say that about him again--"
He'll show Tarn 'coward', goddamn it.
