Thanks to Zap2it we now have the title and description of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters episode 6. The episode is titled "Chain of Command" and scheduled to air on May 24th, see the brief synopsis below.

Tension builds within the Autobot team as they face the return of the Predacon.

Wonder if Optimus, Magnus, and maybe Smokescreen (since he's Matrix-worthy) get into a scuffle of differing opinions.

Or it could be wheeljack.

Good thing there aren't any month-long breaks between episode 5 & 6. Curious to see whether we're getting back on the "weekly" train.

Also, if there's a scuffle between Magnus & Optimus, one of the issues may be the whole "sir" thing.

Intresting ive never seen the autobots have problems with the whole "chain of command" thing ever other than the dinobots in g1...looking foward to see what this episode brings.

Im guessing its gonna be either Optimus appoints Smokescreen to a position higher then wheeljack and he has a problem with it and starts freaking out or Optimus tell Ultra Magnus to respect then humans and stop with the military protocols.

Beast Wars did. In the episode literally titled "Chain of Command". And again in the season 2 opener.

And in Beast Machines nearer to the end of its first season when Optimus and Cheetor had clashing viewpoints on leadership.

And in Animated whenever Sentinel Prime would try to override Optimus' authority on Earth.

Im guessing that the crew is gonna have a problem with Magnus talking to Optimus like he is a little guy. But then Optimus tells them just listen and take instructions from Magnus cause he is the leading rank.

Optimus is above Ultra Magnus. What are you talking about?

It was just a guess and another reason why they might have tension between them is because im sure Magnus is gonna try to have them do everything by the books and not to care about earth and the humans.

And since you are in the business of correcting ppl/setting things straight. What do you think the tension is about?

Magnus may have a problem with Optimus not being as "by-the-book" as he is, and may begin to express a lack of respect for him. As I said before, the jump-start might be the whole "sir" thing.
