I've seen channels that change the titles of their own videos (I think it was one of the PBS-run ones) explain why they do it; it's just experimenting with what titles get the most views.

Regardless, it seems safe to assume that any release these may ever get that is not subject to a search algorithm (physical media, on-demand streaming service) would use the intended titles.

If they were serious about getting more views, they'd have more big red arrows on the thumbnails. And the titles would be things like "Can Bumblebee defeat Megatron in a game of shooting targets?" and "Five ways Optimus Prime knows to take down a Decepticon". Lift your YouTube game, people!

But, even if they do end up being on the same side by the end of the series, it's still another beast-character who's a antagonist for (probably) the majority of the show. It still fits the pattern I'm seeing, at least for now.

I don't know. I just think it's probably a conscious choice by someone? Either because they actually do have some resentment towards the Beast-Transformers (which I'm halfway exaggerating, but given how strongly some fans feel about this stuff, is potentially a non-zero possibility). Or because they're playing up the "wild emotions" versus "logical reason" theme.
I think you're looking way too into it. The G1 cartoon is still the most widely known touchstone for G1 Transformers (sorry comic fans). And in that show the Dinobots are hostile to the Autobots and Grimlock even attempts to kill and usurp Optimus at one point.

I think calling back to that is the beginning and end of "the Dinobots are antagonistic" takes you see throughout the franchise. There's no evil conspiracy to "denigrate" beastformers. Grimlock being a prick (along with the rest of the Dinobots to an extent) is just one of those memorable G1 traits that made its way into the "meta" of the franchise.

This downplays the time comic Grimlock ruled the Autobots with an iron fist and condemned a bunch of human children (and their teddy bear) to death.
