The Maximals are the bad guys

I also agree with that part. I also agree with someone's comment regarding being Jetfire and Jetstorm being experimented to become flyers and Sentinel Prime suggesting to use live-ammo on them during training.

Sentinel Prime was a racist towards organics, viewing them all as dangerous creatures like the spiders he encountered before without getting to know them better. Additionally, because of him being a jerk, he messed up the majority of the autobot population by making them fearful of decepticon spies and giving them his own fear of organics. One of the autobots tried to even step on Captain Falzone as soon as he got on cybertron. Sentinel Prime was also an example of the possibility of Autobots being jerks and ignorant of organics. At least the other Autobots from other continuities weren't like that.

I would also like to note that in the TFA universe, the Autobots cast the Decepticons off of their home world without keeping them in check, leaving the other planets in the galaxy to deal with the wandering Decepticons that passes by. I don't know what is more terrible of the Autobots to do, outcasting Decepticons off their home or having the other planets in the galaxy to deal with the Decepticons.

So if Maximals, Autobots, etc are supposed to be bad guys oppressing the decepticons, why:

A) are they called "Decepticons" in the first place, where part of the actual word indicates deception, and has been shouted by the decepticons themselves?

B) In the first movie does Optimus call Megatron "Brother"?
