He said this since 5:02 in this video after he was defeated by Optimus Prime and about to retreat for a while:

What does he mean by "You dented my armour, you creep! I don’t have to hang around here and take this. Smash ya later"?
I know "Smash you later" mean "I'll defeat you later" but i don't understand other rest.

@DangYeonSim "smash ya later" is just a joking way of "see you later." Basically, whoever said this is leaving and saying "I'll see you later," but I'm guessing they're fighting, so they changed it to "smash (hit/fight) you later."
There's another common phrase "smell you later" that means the same thing, but people don't really say it anymore. It was popular with kids in the 1990s.
For the first part, they're just saying the other person made a dent in their armor and it's upsetting, so they're leaving. "I don't have to sit/hang around and take this" means "I don't have to stay here and let you do bad things to me (like dent my armor) so I am leaving first."

@buffhun Since 5:15 in the same video above, Red Alert (the blue robot) told his orange robot friend "Red Alert: Smokescreen. Let’s go get ’em. It’s operation deacon." then his friend says "Affirmative." as they're going to attack the guy with powerful sword.

What does "operation deacon" mean? And "Affirmative" too?

armor is what a knight or a warrior or a fighter wears to protect themselves from enemies in battle.
In the past, knight wore metal armor that looked like this:
When someone shot at them hard enough, the metal would get marks on it, like the concave dots on the chest part. Those marks are called "dents". You've probably seen a dent before on a car.
Transformers are robots made of metal. Their outer parts are their "armor".
When Optimus Prime hit him, the force from the hit put a mark on his armor.
He called Optimus Prime a "creep", which means, "weirdo".
Do you know what weirdo means?

"deacon" is the name of the operation. An operation is a mission you go on. A mission is a goal you have and the things you do to complete it.
"affirmative" means "Yes".
So, Smokescreen was telling Red Alert, "Yes, okay, let's go do the mission!" It basically meant, "Let's fight them right now!"

@Heartsong How to understand and describe the meaning of "operation deacon" in the video? I guess it mean "the synergistic attack tactics"?

@DangYeonSim
I'm trying to see what your level of understanding hard English words is.
"synergistic" is kind of a hard word to learn, so if you already know what it means, then it makes me wonder why you didn't understand my explanation of what operation meant a few minutes ago.

@Heartsong Hey, i know what is the meaning of "operation" here but what i mean is i need someone to confirm it if i can describe it as "a tactic / operation by 2 or many people join together to defeat an enemy", that's all. But you don't focus on my question and now, you're underestimate my English skills and make fun of me for asking the question.
When i ask something, it mean i have something that i want to confirm and it's different with other cases. Normally, i don't ask such any question like this unless i mean it.
