## Introduction

Orion Pax was a Cybertronian from the city of Iacon known for his exceptional size and intelligence. He was targeted for assassination by Sentinel Prime, the chief enforcer of the corrupt Senate, after interfering in their plans. In order to avoid being captured, Pax sought refuge with Zeta of Sistex. Together, they learned of a newborn spark being threatened by the Senate in the Alyon region and fought to protect it against Sentinel Prime's Elite Guard troops. Following the Decepticons' killing of Sentinel Prime and most of the Senate, Zeta became Zeta Prime and formed the New Senate, with Pax serving as a loyal soldier and helping reform the former Senate's security forces into the Autobots to fight against the Decepticon insurgency.

During a mission to arrest the Decepticon arms dealer Swindle in Nyon, Orion lost control and almost killed him in front of witnesses. Zeta Prime then tasked Orion with tracking down the Decepticon spy Soundwave, which he was able to do despite Frenzy's attempts to turn bystanders against him. Megatron tried to convince Orion to join the Decepticons, claiming that Zeta was planning to drain energon from civilians and had only sent Orion's team into Nyon to die as an excuse to attack the city. Despite Megatron's accusations, Zeta dismissed Orion's concerns and sent him on a mission to capture the insurgent Hot Rod.

While tracking Hot Rod to the Acropolex in Nyon, Orion and his team discovered tanks of energon drained from the city's population by Zeta Prime, as Megatron had claimed. As they tried to escape the destruction, Nyon began to explode, and Orion realized that Zeta had set everything up to force Hot Rod's insurgents to self-destruct the city. Despite his initial distrust of Megatron, Orion knew that Megatron had told the truth about Zeta and agreed to join forces against him. During the invasion of Zeta Prime's Citadel, Orion and Megatron confronted Zeta in person. Although Orion lost an arm in the battle, he was able to destroy Zeta's weapon, and Zeta was ultimately killed by Megatron. However, once everything was over, Megatron betrayed the Autobots and shot Orion in the back, casting him into the Undergrid beneath the citadel.

### Character Details

Orion Pax was a Cybertronian who was born in the city of Iacon, known for his exceptional size and intelligence. Alpha Trion witnessed his forging and believed he would become the subject of great stories in the future. Pax excelled in his studies, graduating from the Institute for Higher Programming and enrolling in the Academy of Science and Technology, despite being skeptical of the Knights of Cybertron. He joined the Iacon police force, trained by Kup and eventually becoming partnered with Ironhide, rising through the ranks to become captain of the Rodion precinct and known for his liberal approach to duties, including convincing Ratchet to run a free clinic in the city's Dead End. However, after encountering Decepticon leader Megatron and learning of the corruption within the Senate, Pax joined forces with Senator Shockwave to bring about change on Cybertron, causing Sentinel Prime, the chief enforcer for the Senate, to want him dead. Pax went on the run and sought the help of Zeta of Sistex, an ally and disciple of Shockwave, and together they learned about a newborn spark being threatened by the Senate in the Alyon region, fighting against Sentinel Prime's Elite Guard troops to protect it. During the conflict, Roller was badly wounded and went missing, and Pax ended the threat by having Trailbreaker and Windcharger throw him at the Senate.

## Introduction

Optimus Prime is a character from the IDW Comics continuity of the Transformers franchise. He was born as Orion Pax, a simple data clerk living on the planet Cybertron. However, after Megatron betrayed the Autobots and shot Orion in the back, casting him into the Undergrid beneath the citadel, he was drawn towards a distant light which turned out to be the hiding place of the long-missing Matrix of Leadership. As a voice called out for him to take the artifact, he did so and was suddenly overcome with the pain, fear, and loneliness felt by all living Cybertronians. Imbued with new clarity and wisdom, he realized that the Autobots were not meant to fight for unity, but rather for the freedom of all sapient beings. As the Matrix repaired his body, Orion Pax declared that he was giving up his identity for his people: he was now Optimus Prime.

Guided by the Matrix back to the ruins of Nyon, Optimus reunited with his allies amidst the wreckage. Revealing the Matrix and his new goals and desires to his friends, he then used a talisman to awaken an ancient, slumbering life force he could sense beneath the city: Metroplex. To raise the army he needed to defeat Megatron, who had seized control of Cybertron in his absence, Optimus recruited the aid of news broadcaster Blaster, who put out a rallying call for aid across the Iaconian Newsfeed Service. Joined by thousands of freedom-seeking Transformers, Prime marched on Iacon. While Metroplex handled Megatron's "vamparc annihilator" weapon, Optimus engaged Megatron himself in a duel and emerged victorious with some timely aid from Hot Rod, though Megatron escaped with the vow that the war was just beginning.

Vowing not to make the same mistakes as Zeta, Prime ordered a cache of illegal weapons discovered in the Undergrid destroyed, and thanked Hot Rod for his help. In the wake of the Decepticons' defeat, Optimus Prime inaugurated the Grand Convocation, calling on representatives of all the planet's various guilds and groups to work together toward peace. However, former senator Dai Atlas loudly objected to his leadership based on his past as a combatant, and a weary Optimus conferred with Alpha Trion on how best to proceed. Despite these challenges, Optimus remains a powerful and respected leader, known for his courage and determination in defending Cybertron and its people from threats both internal and external. He is also a skilled tactician and diplomat, able to navigate complex political situations and bring about lasting peace.

### Character Details

In addition to his physical capabilities, Optimus Prime is also known for his strong sense of justice and his unwavering commitment to protecting the innocent. He has a close relationship with his second-in-command, Ultra Magnus, and values the support and counsel of his fellow Autobots. However, he also has a complicated relationship with Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, and has fought in many intense battles against the Decepticons both on their home planet of Cybertron and across the galaxy. Despite the challenges he has faced and the sacrifices he has made in the name of peace and freedom for all beings, Optimus Prime remains determined to defeat the Decepticons and bring an end to the conflict.
