What if every time megatron says he wants Optimus Prime dead what if he meant like prime dead he wants the matrix’s of leadership destroyed so he can be Orion paxx again because megatron thinks that the matrix’s change him and turned him against him and he just wants Orion back
THIS IS AMAZING WHAT THE HELL
Okay so I'm been having this shit brewing in my head for a while and I keep coming back to it. I want to be like G1 but also a mix of other continuities as well Like TF Prime, TF One, Etc.
This is my shitty writing, I'm sorry if it's bad I just want to put it out there. If you have any ideas of what I should call this au please comment.
So Imagine this, we know that Megatron is like the leader of the decepticons right? He’s the founder so just like what if Orion becomes the leader of the decepticons instead?? Hey, it is a thought. I'm not saying he is the founder. Like how the normal story goes Orion pax the archivist meets Megatronus the gladiator, they talk about ideas and the future, Megatronous constructs the Decepticons, Orion joins him. ( I always liked the thought that Orion was one of the first decepticons of Megs group before becoming prime.)
They have two different perspectives. Orion thinks that they can peacefully have an audience with the Council/Senate (idk which one to use.) to take down and rebuild this terrible system they live by while Megatronous on the other hand thinks that they won’t listen to words and only by action (VIOLENCE!! ETC.) Btw of course this is an OpMeg so yeah they are together, there so trusting in one another and collaborate so well. Big Gladiator Mech and Lil Archivist bot
So to make this hurt, Orion was able to get an audience with the Council/Senate by the help of Sentinel “Prime”. And after convincing Megs to go see them to present his dream to dismantling the oppressive caste system. But of course the Naive Orion didn’t know that the Council/senate was using him to lure the Leader of the decepticons into a trap. They didn’t want him to spread anymore of these ‘ideas’.
(I want sentinel to be a part of this cuz I love and hate that bastard.)
Orion comes with Megatronus to speak with the senate and Sentinel.
(Okay so I'm still having Orion become prime but not like how the Senate will make him prime. Sentinel Took the matrix for himself but the Matrix doesn’t respond to him, so it is just a piece of junk without a Worthy Mech to attune to it. He still uses it as a way for publicity, it's not like citizens really knows how the Matrix works anyways.)
Orion is standing next to him as he backs up Megatronus words as he explains to them.
After this the Senate mocks him, Sentinel Truly explains to them why Lower caste should stay below them. They are born to serve the superior and die when useless, it is their Primus given purpose. Orion interrupts the Sentinel as he is shocked and angry at his words, “any bot can be more than what they're supposedly ‘born to do’.”
He uses Megatronus as an example, how he became more than a Miner, a Gladiator, he learned how to read and write, wrote literature that moved people, that anyone is the same at spark no matter their frame type. In a quick swift movement Sentinel who had enough of the words of this archivist went to silence him.
As he grabs him by the throat and throws him across the room. Megatronous tried to stop him but was then restrained by Guards. Sentinel tells them both how stupid they are. That what he says is right, that he is a prime and there not and the people will listen to him and not some nobodies. ( Basically Nuh uh Im prime so i get to do what ever da fuck i want , you poor ass bitches)(dude not even a fucken prime like brother shut the fuck up)
Orion coughs as he slowly rises up from the ground. He wobbles a bit before speaking. “You may be a prime but I won’t let you mock him or put anyone beneath you anymore. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. They are more than their function!” As he finishes that statement a low rumbling sound emits from Sentinel's chest and a low blue glow seeps out. The Matrix recognizes a worthy mech to attune to.
Sentinel baffles tires to keep the relic inside as he panics. The relic bursts out his chest as it makes its way towards Orion. He grits his teeths in pain as he orders the guards to terminate him to keep him from getting the relic. Shots fire as Orion tries to run, the Matrix stops and floats waiting for its chosen welder to claim it.
His left arm is shot off his body and he takes a hit at his knee. Orion cries out for Megatronous as he falls to the ground again. Megatronous finally gets out of the guard's hold, tearing them apart and runs towards him. Sentinel huffs in pain as he slowly walks towards Orion who is crawling pathetically to the Matrix.
With a blaster ready he points it towards the crawling mech. “ why couldn't you be a good lil mech just stay ignorant”. As he fires Megatronous throws Sentinel taking the shot. Orion shouted in horror. Megatronus collapses as smoke emits out a gaping hole near his spark.
He bleeds heavily as Orion crawls towards his injured beloved. A large servo goes up to cradle his face “ Please, don’t leave, I can't lose you!” Orion begs. Megatronous wipes his tears as he speaks “Do not cry my little one, I will not leave you. I will always be with you my spark”. Megatronous gives him one last kiss as his frame slowly grays. “ No Nononononono, no please my champion please” he cries.
Yeah again this is just an idea of how Megatronus is going to die, I might change it, who knows. So then Orion filled with resentment towards Sentinel. Like how D-16 became Megatron due anger building up inside as he was lied to slave away his entire life, for Orion it is more of him believing in something, that there is good in people and no need to lean towards violence but to be betrayed by the system that he relied on, he experience a violation of trust. Especially when the person he idolizes hurts the ones he loves. Pretty much breaks you and how you see the world around you.
I want Orion to feel terrible, just terrible, to blame himself (which isn’t new) for the death of his beloved champion, for killing the mech that people look up to, the mech that people put their faith in, the one who united everyone to strive for more.
After Megatronous dies, he takes the Matrix and feels a sense of duty to fulfill their dream as he feels the need to redeem himself. Then he'll step up and take the role as the leader of the decepticons, he believes he needs to bear this responsibility all to himself, to punish himself for his actions for leading him to his death due to his naivety.
If you have any questions don't be afraid to send an ask, I can elaborate if you like.
before I put out the Primes Headcannons, here’s their relationship charts! (Mostly for me to remember if I write about them)

Here's sparkling Orion and D-16 as they appear in my fanfiction, Remedy. The story is complete now, but I still love drawing little Orion and Ratchet, so I'll be posting more of those pictures soon.
Fun Fact: Orion's colours are purposefully faded, due to his state during the course of the story.

I was wrong I've wasted on Can't figure out What happened to us
I won't count on you anymore I'll be all right Don't worry about me
Aren't you happy now You got what you want I wanted you But I'm over that now I'm over it
- Happy, The Wrens
Due to my ignorance regarding canon, I shouldn't be allowed to write this, but there's noone there to stop me.
So, I have this concept or idea that being an archivist in Cybertron meant that the people in charge extracted most of the information straight from the archivists' heads. Sure, there were pads, but what if simply writing was considered too unproductive and slow? And what about editing and crossreferencing? It was obviously better to leave all that to the mechs more experienced, and for that they needed direct access to the information recopilated. Naturally, the cleverest way to achive that was extracting the data right from the archivists' heads.
So they simply went and connected with the processors of their archivists. It wasn't bad, at first. But the poor archivists, those little bots didn't know anything about writing or editing, they didn't know what was important and what was supposed to be left out, so the mechs in charge decided that whatever was in their minds needed to be reviewed and then it would be up to them to decide what was relevant enough to be recorded.
With time, the archivists became little more than glorified cameras. It was their duty to record and give the information away, they had to give absolute access to their processors, they couldn't complain, least of all refuse.
One fine day in Cybertron, Orion Pax was sparked.
This system was already fully developed, Orion was born into it, it's how it had always been so it had to be good, right? It had worked so far and he'd never heard anyone complaining, he'd never had to complain.
But as he began to grow, as he learnt more, explored more of the world and himself, he realised that there were things he didn't want to share.
Things that were embarrassing or too personal. Things that were private, things that were inappropriate to share with people he didn't trust.
He tried to refuse one time. He was restrained and his superiors entered his mind against his will. He tried to keep them out, he tried, but he couldn't and it hurt.
He tried again, and again, and again. He no longer bothered with voicing his disagreement, his refusal, but he tried to stop them, to keep them away from the bits that were supposed to be his. It was painful, it was dangerous, this push and pull inside his own processor hurt him every time. Until it got nearly fried.
From then on, every time his superiors needed to extract information from him, they simply disconnected Orion temporarily.
The funny thing Orion realised afterwards was that his superiors could have done that since the beginning. Why hadn't they?
The answer was all over the Archives, in the side eyes of the other mechs, in the whispers, the looks thrown to the archivists whose secrets were all over the place, maybe all over Cybertron.
Not "important enough" to be recorded, never respected enough to be kept quite. But apparently, highly entertaining.
So Orion became careful. He became measured in his actions, feelings and speech. Hyperaware of his movements and thoughts.
The Academy was his chance. He did his best and failed, but he never had to go back to the Archives.
Now he was far away, another planet, another galaxy. Constant danger, constant fighting. But his thoughts, his feelings... Optimus Prime was the sole owner.
What's the point of this little idea aside from the additional angst?
Simply consider Megatronus, the gladiator who was made to fight in the arena in a kill or be killed spectacle for the masses.
Megatronus wasn't the owner of his own body.
Orion had no say over his own mind.
What a fun thing to bond over! 😊
@yayasvalveplay
I have another AU coming (you can choose whatever iteration you want for this.):
Megatronus/D-16 and Orion Pax meeting in a nightclub.
(I got this idea from the song "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin, okay.)
What happens is that Orion Pax gets dragged to the nightclub (run by Jazz, of course) by a couple of his Amicas because he "needs to loosen up a bit!"
(And let me tell you right now, Orion is no ordinary mid-caste archivist. No, no, no! He is a warframe who got picked up by Alpha Trion at one of the hotspots. [And he also has several engravings (tattoos) and piercings...] He can be shy, but only when he doesn't know anybody there or is in a professional setting. When he's with his Amicas, he can be a bit loud and is very open[-minded] with his opinions. He often gets into fights with some mechs [though, it's usually for the money]. He's loves sharing his opinions on the caste system and systematic injustice to anyone who also shares his sentiments.)
Megatronus/D-16 goes there after his own Amicas tell him that this nightclub is "one of the best on Cybertron!" He gets interested after a bit of convincing and here he is.
(Imma also tell you right now that Megatronus/D-16 is also a warframe [of course], but he's a bit smaller by a couple feet from the other Pit fighters. He is a kind, passionate mech who wants to see the end of the caste system. He wants to be able to walk anywhere without any repercussions or needing an escort. He wants to be able to receive an education, but, alas, the caste systems forbids him from getting one. He only has one engraving, and it was done by Soundwave, his cherished Amica.)
Megatronus/D-16 gets there, and the first thing he sees is a beautiful mech. He sees all of the intricate engravings and piercings the mech has, the way he easily moves through the crowd, the way he dances, and is instantly enamored by him.
When the mech goes to the bar for a drink, he, rather shyly, asks the bartender (Hot Rod) to give him one of the most expensive drinks there (he wants to make a good impression on him) and say it's from him.
OP, on the other hand, is wondering who gave him this expensive ass drink. Hot Rod points to Dee, and OP is immediately like, "Woah, he's cute." He asks Hot Rod to give the mech his comm. and designation.
He does, and Dee's spark is immediately fluttering. By Primus, he actually got the pretty mech's comm. and designation! He didn't even think it would work, but it did!!
Mind you, everymech that was with Dee watches this go down and they all chuckle. They saw how Dee, almost literally, had heart eyes when he saw OP. They thought that Dee wouldn't go through with it, but he did, and they are impressed.
Later on, when they all went home, Dee would excitedly contact OP, and they would begin talking about everything they could think of.
2 ideas I currently have:
Megatronus and Orion Pax were once lovers. They was proof of them once being together--the courtship, the sparklings Orion carried and Megs sired, footage of them making Soundwave and Strika the godcreators of said sparklings, the love datapads they exchanged, documents and pictures and audios of them laughing and being happy. Yet, history will erase everything that they had and say, "they were just friends."
Dockyard Courting AU where Sentinel (previously known as Avean) and OP fall in love while trying to overthrow the corrupt caste system since the current rulers are lying politicians who are causing severe harm to Cybertron.
Ykw Archivist Orion Pax is not gonna be innocent/naïve in this other AU I have. Like, idk why, but the mech has to have seen some shit that not even Megatronus has seen.
This mech would have access to some of the most fucked up shit known to Cybertron. I'm talking murders, conspiracies, acts committed by the Council and against them, unethical projects / research, empurata / shadowplay victims, etc. etc.
Orion Pax is NOT fine. It's quite the opposite, actually.
He is meant to be a puppet for the council. He is meant to allow them to do whatever they want with him, whether it being an assassin, Archivist, or something else.
But, sure, OP may play the part of an oblivious, naïve middle-caste who doesn't know the terrible side of life. But, in fact, he does know--he just couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't help them get justice. He could only send them Ratchet's way to have them repaired, giving them energon, providing them with basic necessities, and trying to educate them.
Though, when he met Megatronus, that's when he realized he could finally be able to help the victims by getting rid of the Caste system (imma say that in this AU, OP not agreeing with Megatronus' methods is still there. Probably a bit toned down as he can see where he's coming from), and he knows what they have done.)
Soundwave, of course, eventually finds out all of this. That OP has access to everything they could think of since he is the most trusted mech there in the Archives. That OP has interacted with the most terrifying creatures to exist and has done many things, albeit unwillingly, for the council. That OP has tried to help the less fortunate with varying degrees of success.
(Imma go a bit OOC with Soundwave here so sorry)
Soundwave suddenly tells Orion that he knows.
Orion is shocked. He thought that nobody would ever know what he had done outside of his family. He thought that he could manage to keep all of this from them, from Soundwave and Megatronus specifically. But it's Soundwave. He will always find a way.
What he didn't know was that Soundwave already told Megatronus when he found out.
-------
The next time that he met up with Megs, he is attending a meeting with the others in Kaon. They were talking and laughing, but he could feel that something was wrong, that something was about to happen.
At the end, he is met with Megatronus' anger and a load of questions.
"Why haven't you told us, told me? Were you so confident in your abilities to trick us that you didn't think we would find out eventually? Is that why, for many stellar cycles, you weren't here in Kaon with us? You were playing for the council?"
"Megatronus, if I can expla--"
"What is there to explain? You were tricking us into believing that you would fight with us against the caste system!"
"I'm sorry--"
"Sorry for what? Sorry for not being good enough to keep it a secret--"
"MEGATRONUS, PLEASE!"
All went silent.
Orion never begged, Megatronus duly noted.
"Leave Kaon, Orion." He said with finality.
"Megatronus, please, if you would just listen to me--"
"Leave, Orion Pax." He commanded.
Orion stopped trying. He left the room without saying another word.
(Later on, when Orion Pax died and Optimus arose, Megatron would think to himself, "Why didn't I try to listen to him? Why did I do that?")
(As he was leaving, OP was so heartbroken that he couldn't do anything else other than what he had to do for them. He will then regret his decision of keeping it a secret and fall in on himself as the Matrix burns through every part of him, leaving a husk of what he once was.)
(May the galaxies know that they will forever regret and forget what they once stood for. What they could have had. And maybe Primus will have mercy on their sparks, for they were driven to betrayal and insanity. May Primus forgive their sins and start anew with the eternity they now have with each other in a void of boundless, endless joy.)
HELL YEAH‼️‼️
