AUTOBOTS

## ABOUT

### 'TIL ALL ARE ONE!

Heroic, honorable, and fighting for everlasting peace, the Autobots are often considered the good guys of the Great War. This faction believes that with the Battle for Cybertron over, the planet can live in harmony as it did before, without the worry of any more invasions.

Of course, this cause has its opposers, but the Autobots often disregard this and proceed to brawl for what they see to be right.

## HISTORY

After reviewing, questioning, and comprehending the meanings of Megatron's literatures nights after his arrest, Optimus Prime - or rather Orion Pax - set out with Ratchet to Cybertron's capital, Central City, on a quest to protest against the then-gladiator's beliefs that had been instilled into many. Of course, it wasn't easy, but after several days and nights of protest, the two managed to grow their movement, and recruit members of the Central City Police Team (Jazz, Bluestreak, and Prowl), Ironhide, Bumblebee, and Elita One - going by Ariel at the time. This formed the first eight soon-to-be-named Autobots (Bumblebee came up with it on the spot by picking two random words), who called themselves the "Autobot Cause" before shortening it.

After the movement became big talk in Central City, Zeta Prime, ruler of the city and leader of the capital, invited the Autobot Cause over to speak with him, willing to learn about their motives, and maybe to give a speech from there as well. Orion wasn't too experienced when it came to speeches, not to mention writing them, so he gathered the other seven and asked them to write with him, knowing it'd make the speech more authentic and about what they all wanted out of the future.

It was a success! Kinda! The "success" part came at the beginning of the speech, where the audience was captivated by the script and how Orion Pax presented it. The "Kinda" part came in at the later part of the speech, where the audience was in panic when Megatron interrupted the speech the way he did (firing his newly equipped cannon into the sky). He - alongside Soundwave, Lugnut, Barricade, and Makeshift - stood before the Autobot Cause and called their movement a "deception," saying it was to provide a distraction to cybertronians so that the Quintessons could one day return while their guard was down. As a result of that, Megatron gave him and his group the name "Decepticons," fighting against the Autobot Cause's brainwashing, and instead for a future full of strength and military reinforcement, in case the Quintessons were to return. Several out of Orion's audience reverted and stood beside Megatron and the Decepticons, filling Megatron with so much excitement that he began shooting into the sky once more.

Jazz figured the situation was getting out of hand, and invited Prowl and Bluestreak to transform and sound their sirens to try and deescalate the situation. As they approached the Decepticons and gave a warning, Megatron fired a couple shots at them, but they missed and hit Zeta Prime instead, strong enough to send him into deactivation, but not to destroy the matrix, luckily. Before his passing, Zeta gave his title and the matrix to Orion Pax, knowing that he'd use it to fight for good, and wishing him great success. He renamed him to Optimus Prime with his final words. With this newly acquired strength, Optimus was unsure how to feel, wondering if he was fit to lead, but with a little reassurance from his new friends, and his current situation pretty much forcing him into this predicament without room for anymore spare thoughts, he accepted the offer.

And so, the Autobot's fight for peace began.
