Optimus Prime

**Orion Pax** was once an archivist at the Hall of Iacon working for Alpha Trion.

But soon came the day when the power of The Matrix transformed him into the brave and kind Autobot Commander; **Optimus Prime**.

## History

Orion was born in the protoform chamber inside the Iacon great dome. After he was forged he instantly became fascinated by his race and culture and would often studied it.

That stopped once he passed the second phase of his Proto-training and became a full-fledged citizen of Cybertron. After this he was taken under the wing of Alpha Trion who became some what of a, well (as earthlings would say); a father figure.

He would eventually end up working at the Hall of Iacon, a museum/library owned by Alpha Trion. This would allow Orion to learn more about his culture and his race than ever before.

After studying on His home-world he came to the conclusion that the rulers of Cybertron; The High Council, were deranged and would lead to the planets downfall. Orion was not the only one who believed this; A Gladiator by the name of Megatronus also believed the High council would lead to Cybertron's downfall.

Orion would eventually approach Megatronus and offer help with creating the 'new Cybertron' they both wanted. Together they created the Decepticons; free Cybertronians who were sick of their oppressive government and wanted to fight back.

Orion would eventually see that over time, The Decepticons were changing into something much more cruel and violent then what they once were. Megatronus would soon come to be known as **Megatron** and would declare war on the High Council.

Orion would then beg his colleague in fighting for justice, his friend, to stop what he was going to do because of how much death it could cause. But Megatron didn't listen to Orion's reasoning and went along with his plan anyway.

After much destruction occurred thanks to the war caused by the Decepticon agenda battling the 'Autobot security force' he decided to join the Autobots and abandon The Decepticon cause. Megatron soon made a plan to hunt down every member of the high council and destroy them so that their government could never return.

Eventually he reached Alpha Trion and would attempt to destroy him, but the brave Autobot Orion Pax would jump in front of the shot causing him to be severely damaged. Alpha Trion would use the Matrix (which he had taken from Sentinel Prime earlier) to repair Orion and reformat a lot of his body.

After the Matrix was within him Orion Pax was no more, now there was only the just Autobot commander: **Optimus Prime**.

**"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." - Optimus Prime.**

### 1984

In 1984 Cybertron would be threatened when resources began to dissolve, so Optimus would take a team of Autobots and would attempt to leave Cybertron and find resources from across the galaxy and reenergize Cybertron. But the Decepticons would follow the Autobots and would attempt to destroy their ship; The Ark.

The Autobots and Decepticons would enter battle, both blasting at one another across space, but would eventually have to settle their battle by both crashing on planet Earth and it's Moon, with the Decepticons using what was left of their ship; The Nemesis to create a base on the Moon and the Autobots crashing their ship into a mountain.

## Relationships

* Alpha Trion - In Human terms Optimus thinks of Alpha Trion as a father figure, someone who helps guide him throughout life, even when he isn't there.

* Elita One - Elita One is Optimus' closest companion and again in human terms, someone he considers to be his 'soul mate'. Or as a Cybertronian would say; 'Conjunx Endura'.

* Megatronus - Megatronus was once very close with Orion and was considered to be one of his best friends, as they both fought for the same cause and had incredibly similar ideals on life.

* Dion - Dion was Orion's best friend, the bot he would always hang out with when he was down or just wanted to have fun with and even after the chaos of the war they keep their friendship and continue working together!

* Roller - Roller was a innocent young bot who looked up to Orion. Orion, who respected all, saw Roller as a friend in his mind and would often defend him from Bullies and when the war broke out Roller made a pledge; to repay Orion (now Optimus Prime) no matter what and becoming part of his trailer.

## The 13th

Before Orion was, there was **'The 13th',** the 13th Prime and the one with the most mystery surrounding him, You see millions of years ago Primus' power grew too strong and Cybertron was threatened, while some such as The Fallen wanted to capture this power and use it for their own "evil" purposes there where heroes who wanted to merely contain this power.

So a Guardian was selected to guard this power and a hero who was willing to sacrifice himself came fourth, **'The 13th'**, willing to sacrifice his Spark so that the power could be calmed. Thus creating The all-spark.

Millions of years after that **'The 13th'** was reincarnated as **Orion Pax**, without a single memory of his previous life or his noble sacrifice.
