  • Function: DOCK WORKER
  • Division: Civilian
  • Sub-Group:
  • Type: TP-Only Character
Decepticons are so cool! Look, they can fl -- aaargh!

The young Orion Pax was a dockworker who looked up to the leader and his army of Decepticons, as they could fly in robot mode without the use of other vehicles. One day, Megatron showed up at Orion's energy factory and deceived Orion while the Decepticons stole the energy. In the ensuing attack, Megatron seriously wounded Orion Pax, along with Orion's friend Dion. Orion was taken to Alpha Trion, with the help from the Aerialbots, who were there after traveling through time.

Alpha Trion was already working on a way to fight the Decepticons, and with the arrival of the damaged Orion, Alpha Trion used this opportunity to create a new kind of warrior. He set forth to repair and rebuild Orion Pax, recognizing his especially stronghearted nature. Orion was renamed Optimus Prime, and confronted Megatron. Optimus bested Megatron in the first of their many battles, and Megatron beat the first of his many retreats. Optimus Prime thus became the revered leader of the Autobots.

Jun 17 - Report[]

Pax here. Was making my way from Slaughter City and Fort Max back to Iacon when I ran into some 'bots having an encounter in the badlands. Some Sweeps and a uh. Yeah Cyclonus clone? Armada? Yeah. Grotesque and Dust Devil engaged while Starlock hung back to monitor and prep for any injuries. They ended up running off after Grotty chewed one up pretty good. Starlock and I hauled Grotty back to Iacon for repairs and I think Dusty came with us? He's hard to pin down that one.

Er, Elita, when you get a moment, I'd like to talk to you. There's some confusion on where I stand in the ranks, or if I even do stand in the ranks still and am just a civilian.

Thank you, 'Til all are one.

Orion Pax


Sep 25 - Requesting Assignments[]

Orion's bright and cheerful face pops up on the screen.

Hey, not that I mind all the hauling and general work, but I'm not an invalid. I'd like to be included in missions and things that further the Autobots as a whole. Someone'd mentioned training sessions to make sure I'm settled in this frame. Others seem to shy away from just talking to me. 
My Fellow Autobots, I'm still -me-. I'm just not Optimus. Not right now. I was, and while I'm settled in this body, I'd appreciate not being treated like I was made of spun glass, or avoided like I had a plague. Or being compared to my prior shell, or being 'comforted' that I'll get moved back as soon as everything clears. That somehow I'm diminished, not my own person, somehow, for having survived the Matrix separating from me. 
We're in yet another pivotal moment of this ages old war, where we are taking ground again, where the planet itself is slowly becoming the well-spring of life a great many of us only know about in legends and stories, and historical documents. Each and every one of us has our part to play, each and every one of us has much to offer with our personal strengths, our personal experiences, our personal knowledge. From micro, to mini, to frontliner, to medic, we are all Primus' creations. And we should embrace that, and enable everyone to do what they can, not frameshaming, or skill-shaming into corners of existence, not letting them do what they can do the best that they can because of some perception of inadequacy, or fear of loss. 
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Freedom to choose their path in life, freedom to offer skills, freedom to choose the military, to choose civilian life. 
So I ask, assign me. Yes, I was once a dockworker, once an archivist, I can do both and still offer the life lessons I learned as Optimus to the Autobots. If the answer is still no, at least tell me directly and explain. 

Thank you,

Orion Pax
