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”

Transformers: Exodus, Chapter three:

“Minimal
scarring from the acids,” Shockwave pronounced. “The energy weapons had
little effect. As is typical, Megatronus, you emerge from a battle with
few signs of ever having been in a battle. What fascinating prototypes I
could create from you.”

(a few seconds later)

Shockwave stopped in mid-reverie, blinking and returning to the real world from his imagined army of Megatron-inspired supermechs. “What?”

In conclusion, Shockwave wants to make babies with Megatron. Think of them… great big monsters. They’d conquer the world.
