Ykw Archivist Orion Pax Is Not Gonna Be Innocent/naïve In This Other AU I Have. Like, Idk Why, But The

Broodmare Optimus goes so hard in a post war setting where Cybertron is decimated & they gotta rebuild like it's up to the Prime to repopulate

Maybe because of the Matrix he can expedite the carrying process, he's ending up like the Queen Bee/Ant in a hive just chilling in his temple popping out sparklings

Every other bot has to take it in turns spiking him so that he has enough transfluid in his tanks to keep making enough protoforms for the newsparks to inhabit at the rate he's making em

It would be, but it is also funny in a still war effort like Lux had said in that massive post about broodmare Optimus.

I love both of these options, because it's just, Optimus deserves to be fucked full of sparklings, and have a massive amount of Sire's willing to stick their spike in and give him the transfluid he needs.

This is all I got done for the damn fic.

I hate writer's block. (Also have some xe/xem Sentinel, also known as Avean for the better part of the beginning of the fic.)

The draft I'm writing doesn't even have any ounce of valveplug (not yet at least). It's just full of angst😭

I'm putting optimus through it rn

I went ahead of myself

Back to what I was saying before megpax happened

Orion Pax would know so many things about Cybertron itself and its inhabitants that not even Soundwave nor any of the spies themselves know about.

But also I believe that he would be forced to monitor some of the 'sessions' that went on there. That he would told that he was needed to film some things for the Senate only to find himself in the middle of a crime scene (and sometimes having to participate under the threat of whatever)

He would document history as it plays out and has to release the rather heavily censored versions of those events to the Iacon Hall of Records.

I also like to imagine that he would be so much older in this universe. I'm talking alive since the beginning of the Quintesson age of Cybertron, like he was there for the rise of the Quintessons and the end of it (he was part of the regime that killed them and had garnered quite a reputation there).

During that age, he was able to freely document what the Quintessons were doing and are going to do. He was also able to get into meetings where he would translate, make notes, transcribe their conversations, draft treaties, organize events and parties, record certain things, etc. etc.

He was both a highly-valued soldier and Archivist for them. Because of this, he would also be sent on stealth missions, honey trap his victims, do surveillance, basically all of those black/special ops slag.

However, the problem lay in what the Quintessons were doing to some of the other species, specifically Cybertronians. They would treat them like they were worth nothing, starve them if they disobeyed, use them for their own selfish desires, and drain them of their energon just to give them a fraction of the amount the Quintessons received.

Some of the Cybertronians (the Primes and others), however, didn't care enough of the consequences and chose to lead a rebellion against them.

Now, this is where Orion Pax noticed and did not notify the Quintessons of what they were doing. He believed that they were actually doing the right thing to stand up for themselves.

He gave them weapons, more energon, notes of what they were doing in the meetings, and provided healer training (it was rough since he had little to work with, but he gave them the basics whenever they had common injuries. If he could, then he would also provide them with the proper materials for medical supplies).

When the Quintessons eventually found out, he was close to being executed on the spot when the leader of the entire colony approached the scene and commanded that they don't kill OP because they should break him first.

After that, they kept their promise and tried everything they could to do so. They tore his armor apart from his protoform, deprived him of energon and of any form of sensory, used him, basically torturing him until he almost couldn't take it anymore.

But when they suddenly left him alone one cycle because of a meeting being held, he took that chance to escape from where he was being held (in the chambers). It was eventually found out a couple joors later, and they searched every crevice for any sign of him. But, it was too late, and OP was already halfway there to Iacon.

The Primes, while on patrol, found him in the middle of a clearing, stumbling and in a state of constant agony.

------

With the help of Orion Pax, who proved to be a competent soldier, they won countless battles.

Originally, after recovering enough to fight, Orion had to go through training and ranks all over again. He quickly rose up the ranks and became one of the leading generals (though this didn't really mean much when they were still in the early stages of the war).

He had all of the soldiers trained in Quintesson combat as he was the only one who knew how to. He himself modified almost of them so that they were able to have very powerful weapons to use against them. He trained the rest of them as medics, mediators, translators, etc.

(A few vorns later because I don't know what else to say in this part, okay)

Even though they didn't really have a chance in the beginning, they ended up winning the war.

In the final battle, they were close to giving up because the Quintessons were overwhelming them when Orion Pax came into the scene.

Orion, who wanted revenge for what they did to him, stormed in with powerful machine guns and blades. It was brutality and bloodlust at its finest.

He absolutely decimated every last Quintesson until they were nothing but a field of hollow corpses. After that, he had left on a spaceship for a couple of chords before returning back.

When he came back and Cybertronian society began to rebuild itself, he was there through all of it.

------

Somewhere down the line, some of the Primes turned away from their beliefs and everything else happened.

The caste system was put in place, and everything went to hell afterwards.

The cycle of them turning into oppressors began, and everymech suffered as a result.

The Pits, which was originally friendly sparring, turned into a bloodsport. Iacon, which was a place of fighting and violence, turned into the main source of the oppressive high-caste mechs and architecture. Kaon, once a place of the arts, became too dangerous for once to go alone unless you were born in it. Tarn, known for its beautiful architecture and wildlife, became the source of Cybertron's minerals and had abandoned buildings. Other cities had not yet formed until several vorns down the line.

Orion Pax, who had dreams of living a peaceful life and not surviving yet another horrific cycle on the battlefield, realized that it was all for nothing, now that they were destroying themselves from the inside.

He only wishes for this to end peacefully (in the back of his mind, he only knows that this is wishful thinking).

He meets Megatronus and Soundwave, helps with their cause while also trying not to give anything away from his past (he slips up a couple of times, and it messes with his mind that he can't tell them, no matter how much they insist), and everything else goes almost exactly how it did in canon.

Writer's block is kicking my ass rn so I'll probably have the Feral Broodmare OP AU post done by either Saturday or Sunday. (AND I discovered I have a water leak rn so :D)

ANYWAY

I have some ideas I want to share:

1. Dockyard Worker Orion getting endlessly courted/spoiled by Gladiator Megatronus after Megs got his aft saved by Orion since there was a turf war going on at the time. (Not happening the Broodmare OP universe btw). Cue some moments where Megs would send Orion datapads filled with poetry along with some crystal sweets. And when Megs finally sends him a vial of his innermost energon, he cries (happy tears).

2. OP, who was meant to be used only as a weapon for the council. I'm talking: he has built-in weaponry that formed with the protoform, 2 rows of sharp teeth (meant to bite whole chunks of protoform and armor), etc.

That's all I have rn so thank you for listening to my yapping session of the day :D

I love it, thank you for sharing Lux. and don't worry I can wait a day or two for the broodmare to come out.

I hate to say it but will sentinel still betray the primes in ur au?

pov your non verbal brother says his first words,, 🥹

aka, Sentinel realizes how much Orion trusts and depends on him..

It's safe to say that Sentinel finds his place even among the Primes.

at least,,.. in this timeline.

Ratchet would be absolutely beside himself to see Omega Supreme plump with Nemesis's bitties

He was meant to keep Omega safe, that's his friend

Yes he would. He was supposed to keep him away from it all, and now Omega has bitties and is currently carrying the 10th little one.

Star ships like Omega I can see taking like 5 years to build another star ship sparkling in their forge.

These designs are so gorgeous Holy shit

humanformers Optimus ideas got me in a chokehold and i had to get it out of my system before i implode--
