Basically the Orion Pax arc. Also the moment I realize, that bullshit Megatron was telling Orion about the title was truth. The Autobots or the Senate was like: They are lying jerks! They… they are Decepticons! And the Decepticons was like: ……..Yes. We are liars. We are totally lying about attacking you. And the Autobots: Hmmmm… They pretend they can`t lie. Another deception! Seriously guys, how you can be the Decepticons if Optimus Prime decepting better then you.
things Orion does in the books pre-war: – goes on multiple starlit walks to think about megatron – goes to a bar to hang out with Jazz (his best bro) multiple times and cannot shut up about megatron at all – risks his job to illegally contact Megatron, spends nearly a whole shift thinking about what to say, then once he sends it he spends the rest of the shift F5’ing the page to see if he got a response – says Megatron brought his Spark to its full brightness – says Megatron gave voice to a “longing previously unknown” – Ignores several messages and warnings from Alpha Trion (his dad) and Jazz (best bro) to hang with Megatron – daydreams about leading a revolution alongside Megatron
– goes on a big field trip by himself just to visit Megatron in person
– “Orion what are you gonna do if this becomes a violent war” “I’ll be there to counterbalance anything Megatron does, then. Together”
