    Summary

    As Unicron's awakening threatens the safety of Earth and its entire galaxy, Optimus Prime entered the planet's core with no intentions of coming back. With Megatron looming behind his back and Team Prime unsure of their leader's true intentions, how could Ratchet be expected to sit still and observe behind a screen?

    Orion Pax has awoken to a world he does not recognize, to a set of circumstances that cannot help but rub him the wrong way. Luckily for him, he has his best friend Ratchet to rely on, and his trusted counterpart Megatronus to look towards for answers. With this sort of dynamic in place, had anything truly changed, even after all these long years?

    Or

    The Orion Pax arc, except Ratchet decides to join. Naturally, with two of his closest friends spewing out contradictory stories, Orion Pax has a hard time telling truth from falsehood.

    Summary

    “You assume I mean you harm…” he utters softly.

    And just like that, the stern, rigid scowl is instantly wiped off your face.

    The man in the truck sounds…

    …sad.

    Not offended. Nor angered by your thinly-veiled implication.

    Just sad. Dispirited, even. As if it’s only just occurred to him that you might have perceived him as a threat.

    Summary

    And that’s why he was back here. The pull of that warm, fuzzy feeling felt intoxicating. Orion obviously didn’t expect it, if he did, he probably would have tried to capture it, then store it into a precious part of his mind for easy access. But now, he has resorted to this. It shouldn’t be hard — again, it’s not like he hasn’t done it before — but this felt different. Such a breach of privacy with his best friend felt wrong. But was anything Orion doing ever right? He slacked off work, breached archives, sold sensitive information, forged contraband… Orion erased the moral part of his programming a long time ago. He couldn’t even remember if he had one to begin with.

    So why was this so difficult?

    Summary

    The Matrix got tired of the BS going in Cybertron.

    Optimus is duct-taping Iacon back together.
    Megatron is sad, missing his friend and taking it on the High Guard—sorry, Decepticons.
    Primus himself was tired.
    So the Matrix does what any exhausted divine artifact would do:
    It yeets them into the past.
    But not just any past—
    waaay before the war. Before Orion Pax was forged. Before D-16 had a name. Before Sentinel ruined everything. Before… basically all the trauma.
    A few Autobots and Decepticons get dragged along for the ride.
    They land in the era of the Twelve Primes.

    Also hunted Matrix so say hi to the ghost Primes.

    Summary

    "Sunny?" Sideswipe spoke up again, sounding hesitant. 

    Which was strange, because his brother never hesitated. He sent the mech a harsh glare, to which his brother only rolled his optics. 
     
    Sunstreaker ignored him, sure that Sideswipe was only going to make some wisecrack, and took stock of his frame. His color was mostly gone, and he looked horrendous, but he could fix that.  

    Then he noticed his pedes.
     
    His pedes didn't reach the end of the berth.

    Why didn't his pedes reach the end of the berth?
     
    He froze, then snarled and lunged to grab his brother's servo. Sideswipe sputtered, but he ignored it and drew the servo closer, pressing his own to it to compare. 
     
    Smaller. It was smaller.

     

    Or: Sunstreaker's frame wasn't always that of the big, powerful warrior. Grievous injury during a battle forces him to be reframed to his original specs. This changes things.
