Going on about War Dawn and the invention of Orion Pax, David Wise revealed that making the civilian Megatron brutalized in the past, a young Optimus Prime, was something he decided later rather than initially in the plot of the episode.

Basically the earlier premise was Aerialbots admire Megatron, but go back & see Megatron commit an atrocity on defenseless people, but than Wise was all like "what if that person Megatron maimed in cold blood was a young Optimus Prime" and invented Orion Pax.

Speaking of which, the episode originally had Ariel killed by Megatron and unable to be rebuilt to add some loss to the episode, but when Wise was talking with another writer like on a coffee break, someone was like "a pink robot that is the girlfriend of Optimus, that sounds like Elita One" and Wise was all like "I never saw that episode, but you're right!"

As a result, he hurriedly wrote in a mention of Ariel surviving and being rebuilt as Elita One.

There wasn't any connections like this for Dion and his original death remained, further confirming, despite fan speculation, he never became anyone else.

Speaking of which, Megatron's way of disposing of Orion, Dion & Ariel was originally more gruesome.

Like in the script, Megatron ripped off Dion's arm and than used the severed limb to whack off his head! Animators thought this was too violent even for robots and changed it to them simply being shot.

Oh damn!

Interesting

Day three of MegOp week 2023, Tuesday June 13th. Today’s prompt is Marriage/Tears.

Again I decided to set my entry in Transformers Prime, because that’s the series that got me shipping this couple in the first place, but I utilized a G1 character.

This is Orion Pax proposing to his cannon girlfriend Ariel (who usually becomes Elita-1, Prime’s Conjux, in most versions of Transformers). He asked his mentor and close friend, Megatronus, along for support without telling him what he was planning to do.

So poor Megatronus got blindsided by the Mech he secretly loves, pledging himself to another. He’s shedding no tears yet, our Gladiator is still in shock, but trust me after he gets back to Kaon and destroys some opponents in the arena, he’ll hide in his living quarters and weep.

Medium is colored pencils. @megop

We get more backstory, more G1 cameos, and a plot twist! Behold, the brief history of Orion Pax and Megatron and the birth of a movement.

Um... re: prev post, this is happier times I suppose lol (The joke is that since Orion and Dion are remolds of Kup, they come with his goodie dispenser thing that looks like a juice box lol)

Elita-1 still deserves Better like a Brand New Figure than just a Retool of a Previous Mold or a Pretool of an Upcoming Fembot Toy, just saying

(and i can only hope the new figure for earthspark elita-one is a brand new mold)

nO because that's interesting

You'll see Dion x Ariel x Orion shipped quite an amount, but for some odd reason you don't really see UM shipped with Oplita

It makes sense, but it acts as if something changed between them during their respective rebuildings so that Mags got kicked out of the polycule. Which is both fair but also because it'd be interesting to see more OplitaMags

There's gotta be a reason for this, probably because you don't see g1 Ultra Magnus with Optimus that much while you definitely see Elita One with Optimus prime a lot. hmm. Interesting.

One reason I love TF Marvel so much is that since it's the first continuity, that means the way it handles relationships can look so bizarre. When Optimus Prime gets a Nebulan partner, which Decepticon does that Nebulan's enemy team up with? Maybe Megatron or something? Nope, it's Dreadwind. Who's the minibot Optimus really connects with? Outback. Optimus's greatest enemy? Shockwave. The Decepticon leader Optimus eventually teams up with, who forges a close bond with him? Scorponok.

Meanwhile, Megatron's greatest enemy? Ratchet.
