#feral orion

[thewallsaretalking-again]

I love the way you view Feral Optimus, and so I decided to share some of my brain candy with you. (It's not Friday, but it's close enough). So, imagine Optimus has been turned into a sparkling (by way of ???) and teamed Prime is expecting him to be this quiet, polite little thing. Except he is decidedly Not That. He hides in dark corners, hisses, bites, looks at the kids like they're prey, and he even looks off. His limbs are awkward and gangly, he has fangs and claws, uses his finals and field to emote -along with a range of animalistic sounds- and even the center of his optics are slit like a cat's pupils. However, he's still a cute little thing, and after he finally gets used to everyone, he can be found snuggled up in unsuspecting laps, taking naps on shoulders, purring to show happiness, and even protecting the humans from a mountain lion on one particularly notable occasion. Sure, he tried to eat it afterwards, but Ratchet stopped him in time. Overall, everyone is just confused as to why their dignified leader is such a feral little sparkling. Even Ratchet, who knew Orion after his integration to society didn't know what was happening. He had demonstrated slightly feral behavior throughout their friendship, but the medic had never even considered the reason being anything like this. Needless to say, Optimus had some explaining to do after he turned back, both to the team and the humans.

Hope you enjoyed a little sample of my brain rot and I hope to see more of your work!

Omg I know I’m super late to this but tysm your kind words mean so much

I love how Orion has essentially just become a feral cat. I am so here for it

I’m just imagining team prime/ratchet carrying Orion around wearing the cybertronian equivalent of animal handling gloves. Tiny feral child my beloved

[thicctails]

The Wastes of Cybertron

haha feral Orion content make brain go brrrrr

Anyways, in De spatio inter astra I faintly eluded to Optimus having a rough past that required him to be a bit more feral. This will become far more prevalent once he gets to have Feral Baby in his vicinity for like .5 seconds. In the meantime, have babey Ratchet and his weird stray dog best friend.

[echoblaze5]

Little feral Orion for @i-mean-technically! I’d say this is shortly after Alpha Trion plucked him from the wilderness and he has now hyperfixated on all the datapads he can get his hands on.

[keferon]

The moment I saw Orion Pax flipping off the authorities I knew that this is going to be my perfect transformers movie

Because YES of course Optimus Prime is all serious and responsible and polite and stuff. He has to be that way. And of course Megatron is all charismatic and powerful. He has to be that way too.

BUT

Between their past selves??

Orion is the one who jumps off the roofs to fight jets in the air even though he can't fucking fly himself

And Megatron is the one who hides under the table during the bar fight

And I absolutely love them being that way

Transformers one gives me everything I need ahahah

[transformersbrainrot]

I am so normal about them

[idiotdriftinginspace]

Summer Transformers ONE meme doodles

the movie isn't even out and i'm already making memes - nice :)

Part 2 Part 3

og photo under cut:

and the Prowl one as a little bonus (also i totally just didn't get another burst of inspiration while working on the 1st doodle nooo...)

The idea o Prowl - a police bot - chasing after grinning Orion with The FInger was to good of an idea to pass XD

if i don't get the midle finger scene in the movie i will combust and come with a pitch fork at whoever is responisible for such change/j

hasbro please give us Orion as a menace to the society, -THE POTENCIAL IS THERE- and i absolutley love these types of concepts

WICH IS WHY I ALREADY LOVE THE FACT THAT ORION AND D-16 ARE BOTH MINERS

[melishade]

The bonky bird. Anyway, sweet chapter

Growing Up Wrecker 6/?

Hey all! I am completely blaming @justawannabearchaeologist for this. I needed some cute after the angst she served up this morning.

And yet, Orion is a kid, and will do as kids do and get hurt, even if only a bit. And that means doctor visit! (Don't worry, this is mostly an opportunity for our little Wrecker to be cute.)

~~~~~~~~~

Orion trudged into the med center behind Ultra Magnus, unwillingly. He didn’t want to be here, but Ultra Magnus was unjustifiably upset that Orion had fallen and hit his head when trying to climb up to see the baby gearsparrows in the tree near their hab.

He looked around. Maybe if Magnus got distracted, he could run for it. He didn’t need to see Ratchet. He liked Ratchet, he did. He just didn’t want a lecture from him again.

Unfortunately, Magnus saw him and placed a hand on his shoulder. It was affectionate, but Orion knew it was also to keep him here.

Betty the nurse was running the front desk, and Orion perked up. He liked Betty- she was always nice to him, and would sneak him energon pops behind Ratchet’s back.

“Hi Orion! Why are you here today?” Betty asked.

Orion sighed. “Ultra Magnus thinks I need to be here. I just slipped down the tree. I got to see the gearsparrow babies, though!”

“He hit his head on the way down,” Magnus added. “It’s just a precaution. Orion does have a sturdy helm. But better safe than sorry.”

“Of course,” Betty said. She checked something on the computer. “We’re rather busy today. Do you mind sharing a room with Headbash?”

Orion perked up. Headbash was fun. “Yeah!” he cheered.

Magnus sighed and nodded. “As you can see, Orion agrees,” he said.

Betty chuckled and led them to a small exam room. Headbash was already sitting on one of the tables, and Magnus picked Orion up and put him on the other. “Hi Headbash!” Orion said- quietly, though. Headbash always needed quiet when he was in the med center.

“Hello Orion,” Headbash said. Headbash was a flying vehicon who had painted himself a bright red, with a black face. He’d gotten his name because he was always flying into one of the new buildings.

“Did you hit the building again?” Orion asked.

Headbash sighed. “It’s not a building, Orion. I’ve told you. It’s an af… an imposter.”

“Were you going to say aft?” Orion asked. “It’s ok. I heard all sorts of words last time I was with Wheeljack and his experiment exploded. Not all of them were from Wheeljack, either.”

Magnus sighed again. “You’re still too young to use them, Orion,” he said. Again. For the fifth time this cycle.

“Fine,” Orion sulked.

Headbash chuckled. “I know better than to use those words around sparklings,” he said. “But I have to prove that it’s an imposter!”

Orion giggled. “Ok,” he said.

No one knew why Headbash had decided that building was a fake vehicon, and not even a coding check had fixed the issue.

So, Headbash attempted to fight the building every so often. 

Orion, and most of his friends, thought it was hilarious. They were always happy to see Headbash. Orion knew it was actually some sort of code issue, but Headbash was happy anyway, so most people just let him do his thing. And they tried to make sure he wasn’t hurt badly.

Ratchet entered as Orion got ready to ask another question. “Headbash, are you alright with Orion and Magnus here while I examine you?”

“Sure, Doc,” Headbash said. “Orion won’t be a problem, and I know Magnus won’t tell anyone what’s going on.”

Magnus handed Orion a small puzzle toy and Orion was immediately distracted. He’d been trying to solve this puzzle for a while now, and he was sure he was almost there.

He turned bits and moved others, and just as he heard a click, Ratchet set his hand on Orion’s shoulder. Orion looked up and blinked at him. “Can I finish the puzzle?” he asked. Headbash was already gone.

“Later, Orion,” Ratchet said. “Now, Magnus has already told me what happened, can you describe it in your words?”

Orion sighed. “The big old circuit tree near our habs- it has a gearsparrow nest in it. I heard the babies making noise, and I knew if I climbed the other side of it, I wouldn’t bother the creator birds.”

Ratchet nodded as he gently scanned Orion. “And I did. I saw the babies, and they’re so small! But then when I was climbing down I slipped. And hit my head on the edge of a branch and fell all the way down. Magnus only saw me fall, I think.” Orion added. “My head doesn’t hurt,” he added.

“Well, that’s good,” Ratchet said. He pulled up a scan result. “Looks like there’s no damage to the head or brain module,” he added. “You’ll be sore tomorrow from the fall, and those scraps can use a bit of nanite gel. Magnus, I’m going to prescribe the gel, and a mild pain killer tab,” Ratchet added. “And you did good coming here. It might be nothing, but it’s better that you know it’s nothing bad, then worry. Or if it was something bad and you didn’t come in.”

Orion sighed. “Ok,” he said. “I understand.”

“That will be a miracle if you do take care of yourself, little Wrecker,” Ratchet said. “Even your caretaker doesn’t always do so well at that.”

Orion smiled up at him. He liked it when the adults called him a Wrecker.

“That is one Wrecker tradition I am trying to break,” Magnus said. “Orion will learn how to take care of himself, and when to go to the medic.”

“Good,” Ratchet said. “Now, Orion. Have you learned something from this?”

“Make sure I have some rope next time I go climbing, so I can anchor myself and if I fall, I won’t fall all the way.”

Ratchet sputtered a moment, but Orion was sure he was trying not to laugh.

“Well, yes,” Ratchet said. “But I was thinking more along the lines of asking an adult to hold you up so you could see the gearsparrows.”

“Oh,” Orion considered that for a moment. “That’s not as much fun as climbing.”

Ratchet chuckled. “You are definitely a Wrecker, Orion,” he said.

Orion just grinned. “Thank you!” he said.  

~~~~~~~~~~

Headbash is based on a cardinal that has gotten it into his head that he needs to attack my glass door. It’s “bonk bonk bonk” all day around here. He’s a pretty bird, but he’s dumb. I nicknamed him Bonky.

I need to credit @echoblaze5 with helping me decide how to make fun of this silly little bird, too.

YOU BROKE UP W HIM FIRSTTT

anyway watch tf1 u guys this movie was peak

[i-dreamed-i-had-a-son]

So I'm fully in a Transformers Prime binge rewatch and holy SMOKES I did not remember how gay this show was. Like obviously Starscream is twinktown central and Knockout is very flamboyant, yes--but Megatron is so obsessed with Optimus (and vice versa) it's not even funny! Here's a compilation of the best moments from *just the first half of S1*:

Megatron returns after who knows how long and one of the first things out of his mouth is "No one rids me of Optimus Prime except me!!"

Megatron "dies" and Optimus is immediately depressed to the point where Ratchet asks about it and unlocks Sad Reminiscing

The Autobots are trying to figure out what the Decepticons are up to and Optimus starts with "Starscream is no Megatron, but--" just say you miss him

Megatron is literally comatose and his coma dream is him and Optimus fighting over and over again. Optimus just keeps respawning. Bro is LITERALLY living in his head rent free

In fact when Bumblebee gets inside Megatron's head Optimus is literally the First Thing he sees

Why is Bee in there? Because Optimus is deathly sick! And one of the only things that rouses Optimus from his nearly catatonic state? Learning Megatron is alive!

Megatron is also the only one who has the knowledge to save him so now they're both on their deathbeds together and their fates are linked etc. etc.

Bumblebee gets the info he needs by telling Megatron that if he doesn't give them the cure, Optimus will die (and Megatron will therefore not get to kill him)

Megatron (who had figured out this was all about Optimus before Bee even told him): "After our deep history together, to NOT watch the spark ebb from his eyes with my very own...well played, Scout." And then he gives him the cure

Starscream is about to kill Optimus and Megatron--as the FIRST thing he does after getting out of his coma--literally knocks him out of the sky, saves Optimus's life (priorities), and completely lets Optimus go. Which brings the Deliberately Saving Optimus's Life count up to 2!

Will add on as the show continues, but this is just like. 14 episodes in. At this point, forget allegations, they've been fully tried and convicted lol

Ah, yes, my comfort character…

Even if he could’ve talked, no one would’ve believed him.

He thought he was the only one out there, living in the cybertronian wilds. All someone would ever see out there were colonies of dying scraplets and grubs; and that’s if someone got lucky. It was dry, depressing, and terribly difficult to survive.

But then the thing came.

It started with wind. It was a cold wind, colder than anything Orion ever felt. When he smelled the fresh air, he crawls out of his little hole to breathe it in. He expected it to feel good on his hot face plate, but all it did was make him recoil in shock. He retreated back into his little cave.

Then came the powder. It fell from the sky. At first, it disappeared into the ground, never to be seen again; then it began to rest on it. Finally, it began to pile and pile, to the point where Orion had to dig through it to keep himself from getting walled in to his little hole. He hissed the moment he touched it; it was too strange. It was even colder than the wind that it came on. It was wet, but you couldn’t flow through it like liquid. It wasn’t hot, quite the opposite, yet it burned his servos raw. He retreated from it as soon as possible.

Then came the noise. He could describe it in a way someone could understand. It was, in a sense, an enjoyable screeching; almost like a bird. It started off quiet, like a humming in the back of his head; but it just kept getting louder, to the point where he could hear it over the raging wind above him. Terrified was an understatement, but the curiosity running through Orion’s circuits couldn’t keep him still.

He finally crawled all the way out of his hole. Orions pedes began to burn in the white cold. He moved forward towards the sound in a rush. The sooner he found out what it was, the sooner he could go back to shelter and nurse his nonexistent wounds. He didn’t know how long he trudged through the white powder; he couldn’t navigate out here; everything was pure white, including the sky. The noise got incredibly loud, but it stopped all too suddenly. Orion stopped in his tracks and looked around. What happened? Why did the noise stop? When even was he? He only had seconds to ponder before he finally looked in front of him.

The thing. It just stood there. It was too tall. It’s fingers were too long. Its eye was too bright. It was too quiet. It just stood there, starring at him. It held two strange sticks; in his right servo was a long and thin one, in the second was one so strangely shaped that he could only describes it in detail; The large end of it was resting on it’s shoulder.

Orion felt colder than he ever had in his life. It wasn’t the powder or the wind that kept him still as a statue, but the gaze of the thing in front of him. Its eye glowed a burning white and its gaze pierced his very spark. Only the sudden, high pitched return of the sound made Orion move. It had rubbed its sticks together, making the sound that Orion had been so eager to track.

Orion sprinted back the way he came faster than he possibly could’ve. He never saw the thing or the powder it brought again.

No one ever did.

Happy Holidays Lightbulbs!! In the spirit of Winter, here’s the story of Orion and a winter spirit! This is a very late contribution to Feral Optimus Friday; I felt you guys really deserved it, especially considering that I’m a neglectful parent to my followers most of the time. Please enjoy!

(P.S, if you want a name for the thing, you may call it Frostbite :) )

a rare photo of sparkling Orion being calm. He finished playing and burning off feral energy and is being put to bed

psst, commissions are still open!

[lets-try-some-writing]

I swear I would die for a fanfic or writing of Alpha Trion experience with feral bitey Orion who has no respect for his ancient ways or scrolls and like the experience of finding him.

Coming right up my dear anon! I may have messed with your prompt just a little bit. Sorry for how short this is.

━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Orion Pax." Alpha Trion put down his quill with a sigh as he looked over his shoulder. The feral monstrosity was at it yet again.

"Primus below, give me strength." He knew exactly what to expect, but it still prompted him to sigh as he looked at the hole in Orion's crib. He had, yet again, bitten his way through the metal bars and clambered his way to freedom. Alpha Trion would need to get a cyber-hound kennel or get a custom crib made from something far more sturdy than whatever the crib was currently made of.

This was the third crib just this stellar cycle.

"Archivists, be on the lookout for Orion Pax. He has escaped his designated space yet again." He sent the message over the private channel used by the Archives. He could almost feel the collective groan of his students as they put down whatever they were doing to find the wayward sparkling traversing the Archives.

He wandered the halls while rubbing his face in exhaustion. Ever since taking in Pax, there had been no peace in his once restful workspace. Orion cried throughout most of his recharge cycle, and barring that, he was plotting yet another escape attempt. It was draining on body and spark alike. Especially when Orion was found chewing on a record dating back to the early Quintesson era.

"Sir, we've located him?" He perked up at the voice coming across his commlink, but he frowned at the almost questioning tone. Was the archivist not sure?

"You do not sound confident." He remarked simply as he strode in the general direction of the archivist's signal.

"Well, we have found him, but he's... in the ceiling?" That was not a good sign. Alpha Trion all but sprinted until he found the archivist and a few others crowded around the base of a huge pillar. It held up the fifth archival level and extended more than sixty feet into the air. Looking up, Alpha Trion wanted to bang his helm against the nearest wall.

"Do we get a ladder?" The question hung in the air as Orion Pax clung to the very top of the pillar, his little clawed digits digging into the metal as he chewed on a datapad. Why he climbed up the pillar and why he was eating a datapad was beyond Alpha Trion. He stopped bothering to ask questions after a certain point.

"Yes, get the ladder." Alpha Trion sighed and died a little inside as, before he knew it, he was teetering precariously on a ladder with the aid of more than a few archivists as he reached out to grab his ward. The feral sparkling purposefully kept scooting around the pillar to avoid his grasp, growing as he did so. Alpha Trion had half the mind to shoot him with a dart gun just to make him loosen up. However, he was not fond of the idea of actually hurting the little monster.

A half groon and more than a few scratches later, Alpha Trion held his screeching ward by the leg upside down as he carefully worked back down the ladder. The archivists vented in relief and one was quick to grab an energon crystal for the screaming sparkling to chew on. The moment Alpha Trion put it in his intake, Orion's optics cycled down and he contented himself by crunching his way through the crystal.

It was a momentary break from what was likely to be a long few cycles of chasing Orion down while a new crib was made.

Transformers One Meme

When Bee got his knife hands in Transformers One I couldn't help but think of this iconic vine...

I added Bee's face and their names; it may be bad quality but it's the best I've got.

[lovinglonerhybrid]

I think tfp Orion could get away with so much shit because he was Alpha trions favorite.

Music blasting from the restricted section oh it’s just pax.

Sparklings running amuck threw out the shelf’s oh Orion wanted to do story time.

Low cast bots in the hall of records those are Orion friends he lets them roam when he working.

Poetry books checked out way past due Orion likes those books

There’s a bot hunting glitch mice in the storage room yeah that’s Orion pax.

A librarian hissed at you Orion

You were mauled and called an asshole after you bitched at the lower cast bots oh yeah that was Orion.

Like this dude has a stack of complaints against him and alpha trion is just throwing them in the smelter like oh Orion Isn’t he so sweet and nice look he brought me snacks and a blanket because he thought I don’t take care of myself.

Just feral Orion pax and old man alpha trion.
