"Even if hope starts to fade, there will always be another way in our darkest hours."

- Optimus Prime Orion Praxus, or better known as Optimus Prime, is a Cybertronian military general. Formerly, he is just a common citizen of Cybertron who hails from Iacon. However, his brother is a well known pit-fighter who fought in the gladiatorial arenas of Kaon. Orion was separated by his brother during his creation, but they later met each other. During Thanos' resurrection and the New Gods' conquest of destroying the galaxy, Orion was given the mantle of Optimus Prime and joined the Coalition of Galaxies in order to stop Thanos' mad quest.

Iacon
"He was created in another place... Far more peaceful than this wretched city!"

- Megatronus about his brother's "creation" place Like other Cybertronians, Optimus was created in a certain city state in Cybertron. Orion was born/created in the capital of Cybertron, Iacon. He was designed as a type of Cybertronian who excelled in many different ways, mainly education. As so, he was considered as a smart type of Cybertronian. During his days, he was told that he actually had a brother who was created in Kaon, another city state in Cybertron, which is known for the violent nature of it. As so, Orion didn't really expect to see his brother, as he feared that his brother can kill him anytime. However, when they met, Orion and Megatronus began a good relationship that lasted for years.

Training in Kaon
"The worst city in Cybertron. Known for the high crime rates and countless rebellions, from miners to even common civilians. Tragic, right? Anyways, your first training will take place there. Currently, we have Prowl and his team trying to hold off the rebels to near death. We could not leave them there, so as a first mission for you all, you will be dropping in an isolated warehouse there. After that, you're going to get to Prowl's location and bring down all the hell you can do. Remember your training, 'trons. Let's make this day golden."

- Sentinel Prime to Orion's squad before their first mission When Orion has grown up old enough to undergo military training, he was recruited by Sentinel Prime into the Cybertronian Attack and Defense Army (CADA). There, he was trained how to handle weapons, with some help from his brother, who had experiences of fighting in gladiator pits, and later on, he managed to become one of the best new recruits there.

He was the first new recruit to be promoted to a "Rookie Captain" rank and gained a squad. He led his own squad in drills and trainings, until his first official mission comes. Sentinel Prime tasked Orion and his squad to assist Prowl and his team in Kaon to contain rebel activities and control the "secondary crimes" in the city. Orion was immediately deployed with his squad in an isolated warehouse and began his mission. He quickly contained the whole city's rebellion and criminal activities for a week along with Prowl's team. He was later congratulated and was given a Cybertronian Medal of Honor due to his actions, along with his team. This made his brother proud and a big party was thrown for him.

Thanos Returns
"It all started in that damned mining colony, and then hell starts to break when something appeared out of nowhere and nearly wiped out all of us!"

- Megatron's underling to Orion Years later, Orion has grown into a bigger, stronger, Cybertronian and has been promoted into more than a "Rookie Captain", but a real Squad Leader. His brother also joined the CADA as one of the commanders of Orion's teams. One day, his brother was sent into a mission in a mining colony. The mission was supposed to only last for 3 or 4 days. However, for 7 days, Megatron and his squad didn't come back. In the 8th day, Orion decided to find Megatron by himself, with some handpicked tough Cybertronians. But before they could do that, a ship that was identified as the transport ship of Megatron and his team, crashed to the city state of Vos. Orion quickly goes down there and opens up the ship. There, he saw a barely-living Megatron, clinging for life, and his one and only underling who survived "a deadly attack". Megatron tried to speak about what has happened, but he was so damaged that his audio chords couldn't even be used and needed reparation. On the other hand, Megatron's surviving underling told a shocking revelation about what happened to him and the others.

The underling told Orion that his squad was mysteriously assaulted by an unknown being, seemingly hideous in nature, savage, strong, but on the other hand, seemingly smart. The "creature" attacked them for a week and they couldn't stop him. Megatron told him that when he saw the creature's face, it reminded him of something once he saw in a book in the Cybertronian Archives in Tarn. In the book, it is said that there's a "New God" who once ruled his planet with an iron fist. New Gods aren't really a friendly race, but they are well known across the galaxy. His underling heard that this creature is something from the New Gods. Orion tried to get grasp of what has happened, and sent the underling to retirement of military service and questioned Megatron about it.

Coalition of Galaxies
"Orion, we got company."

- Ironhide to Orion Praxus, noting the Kree's arrival on Iacon However, before Orion can question him, Megatron's audio chords were still heavily damaged. Finally, when his chords were repaired and Orion immediately questioned him, Ironhide then notified Orion Praxus that another alien race arrived on Cybertron's capital, Iacon. It was such a surprise when Orion saw that it was actually the Kree which visited Cybertron. The sudden appearance of the Kree, represented by Ronan the Accuser, quickly made the Cybertronian Council wild. After a brief conversation between Orion and Ronan, the Kree visitors were invited to the Council Hall of Cybertron. There, they explained that the Cybertronians may have encountered something the whole galaxy should fear: Thanos. Initially, the council didn't believe in this, until Megatronus himself came and spoke of it. Now, they realized that Thanos was resurrected by his own race, the New Gods, under the command of his grand-son and current ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid. After the meeting, the Kree and other alien races formed an alliance along with the Cybertronians in an organization called "Coalition of Galaxies" to stop Thanos' mad quest to destroy the whole universe, as once he dreamed of it before his apparent "death".
