    After seeing the movie, I know its from a different continuity, but Megatron's line "we were brothers once" with Optimus replying "once", hits even deeper and holds more meaning now.

    Orion Pax & Megatronus both wished to end corruption & bring equality to Cybertron, but were torn apart by their methods, Orion sought arbitration, believing peaceful reform was possible, but Megatronus (who shortened his name to Megatron) sought violent revolution, believing it to be the only course of action against Sentinel Prime’s corrupt government.

    The Transformers: Prime introduction narrated by Ratchet (Jeffrey Coombs) is still one of the best depictions of the origins of Orion Pax/Megatronus and how the two leaders came to be. It also sounds god tier epic and inspires hope when you hear the story. I hope Transformers One faithfully captures the awe, wisdom and cunning of how Optimus and Megatron came to be.

    Important to note that the Aerialbots were from the present day of the show , newly created and doubting the ideals of the autobots and if fighting was really right thing to do, somewhere they got sent to the past, met Orian Pax and Megatron there and only after witnessing those events they decided that the Autobots were doing the right thing and were loyal to the cause from there

    The transformers exodus novel goes into more detail on their origins, as its revealed that Alpha Trion was one of the 13 Original primes and he can glimpse into the future and the past. He petitioned for Orion and Megatron to meet with the high council and at the high council meeting, Megatron and Orion both give their excellent speeches to sway all who listened. Megatron killed the head of the council and declared war upon them once they had deemed Orion the next prime. After that it jumps to several battles of the war for cybertron and we get different perspectives from different characters on both sides. It's actually an excellent read. 😌👍

    RID 2001, the dubbed version of the anime Car Robots.
    And RID 2015, an extremely disappointing sequel to Prime that spits on it's grave.
    There are also RID2015 comics and a RID2015 mobile game but nobody really cares about them.
