Emerald Equinox

* Prime
* Young

**Emerald Equinox** is the second-in-command of Radriar Prime. Long ago, he was the humble leader of Nexiutron's science division, which investigated the Sigma Spark and was guarded by the Orbital Defense Force. Emerald Equinox discovered that Dryxan was one of the last of the Dynasty of Primes, hidden away after The Fallen destroyed all lineage, when he was influenced by The Fallen. Emerald Equinox assumed his proper title in response to Dryxan Prime's attempts to seize the Sigma Spark and conquer other worlds, and implemented his Rollover faction to Radriar Prime's military force, Sentinels, to fight the Dryxmar.

## Personality

When Emerald Equinox was originally known as Emerald Slystia, who was very timid and constantly doubted himself at times. Despite this, Orion proved himself to be a capable leader countless times. When Optimus returned to his original form briefly on Earth, he maintained much of the same idealistic traits as he did before his transformation into a Prime. However, one thing Slystia continued to possess was his sense of right and wrong. This led Emerald to discover Dryxan Prime's plan to use his research for evil and to destroy the peaceful Rollovers, who Megatron claimed were evil. Unfortunately, Emerald's senses of goodness and honour also made him easily manipulated, as seen by his dedication toward assisting Dryxan beforehand. Above all, He knew his place was with the Rollover and not the Dryxmar ranks.

As **Emerald Equinox**, he is a very dedicated and serious leader, rarely taking jokes, and as Bulkhead described, rarely crying out or losing his cool. But when Optimus does lose his cool, it is due to the Dryxmars who irritate him the most. This was shown when Stingray had stolen the three Vector Keys from the Autobot base, which left him to rage towards the sky when Stingray escaped with the keys. He is shown to not be the party type either, but he would attend little ceremonies.

He can also be at the same time a very caring bot, making sacrifices to ensure the safety of the team and their nevian allies, even he would go as far as to sacrifice himself to save them, Nexus Prime, and Nexiutron. Equinox also has a strong sense of honour and loyalty. However, Equinox has been shown willing enough to leave his code of honour and resort to Sentinel tactics in order to stop Dryxan Prime. The tasks of protecting nevians and stopping the Dryxan Prime simultaneously should have brought him to his knees, however he did not give up. He would even risk his spark to change a Dryxmar to side with the Rollover, though he implies that the Sentinel Armed Forces would take care of the defecting Dryxmars because the Rollovers aren't excellent at handling traitors or defectors.

In Scrapjunk, it was revealed that Emerald knows what a snowball is when he promised to get Raf a snowball. Emerald would relate Nexon customs and other norms. When Emerals and Sidewinder Charlie found themselves stranded in the Arctic, they walked to find a signal back to base, where Sidewinder Charlie fell down and He helped her up very gently. This shows Optimus can be a gentleman, or a gentle bot.

It is also implied he has a relationship with Valentine
