Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
I know we're just lowly worker bots who can't even transform. Don't you wanna see what's out there? (in the teaser trailer only)
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
[From the trailer]
For thousands of years, we have been at war. But before we were enemies... we were like brothers.
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
[From the trailer]
What happened to my best friend?
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
What defines a Transformer is not the cog in his chest, but the spark that resides in their core... a spark that gives you the will to make your world better, and that is something Sentinel can never take from us. If we want to be in control of our own destiny, we will have to fight for it. Now is the time for us to stand up. For ourselves. Stand up for this injustice! I promise you, this fight will be worth it. Follow me; nothing can stop us when we stand together! Together as one!
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
Now is the time to stand together.
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it, just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens, and you betrayed... me. Go. Take the High Guard and leave. You are... banished from Iacon. It didn't have to end this way.
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
The line between friend and enemy is not as clear as I once believed. Once it's crossed, there's no going back, because some transformations... are permanent.
Orion Pax / Optimus Prime
And now we stand here, together as one, proving we all have the power to transform. To become who we were destined to be. To right wrongs, to make our world better. Because here, freedom and autonomy are the rights of all sentient beings. Here, all are truly Autobots. This message is a warning to all Quintessons: if you dare return to Cybertron, the Autobots will be waiting. I will be waiting. I... am Optimus Prime!

6 scenes Orion
In order to save our captured friends, we have to act now.
Shockwave
How about I blast you back to Iaco- [Elita punches Shockwave in the eye] ARRGHH! Oh, she punched me in my eye!
Elita
Everyone, shut up! All of you. [points at Orion] Listen to him.
Orion
Most likely our friends are being held captive at the top of Sentinel's Tower. A surprise attack would give us a chance to rescue them.
Soundwave
Impossible. We do not have enough soldiers or a way inside.
Orion Pax
Elita will get us in, and I will get more troops.
Shockwave
Why should we follow you? [Elita bangs her fist into her palm, threatening to punch him again] We will follow you.
Soundwave
Attention, High Guard. Prepare for battle. What is our first move?
Orion
[quietly and intensely]
We roll out.
Skywarp
What?
Elita
[whispering]
Louder.
Orion
TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
Sentinel
You pathetic little twits! Did you really think you could knock down what I've built?!
Orion
It's over, Sentinel! You can't escape the truth!
Sentinel
What truth? That I plucked the cogs from your newborn chests, forced you to mine so I could pay off the Quintessons and live like a king?! None of that matters! [engages his battle mode] Because the truth... IS... WHAT... I... MAKE IT!
B-127
Orion! Orion, look! I have knife hands!
Orion
I can see that.
B-127
[Two Trackers land behind him]
I'm gonna cut these guys. Watch. Come here! [The Trackers flee]
Orion
You can jab them later. We got to go.
D-16
What are you doing?!
Orion
It's over, D. Everyone in Iacon knows the truth.
D-16
So do I! He took everything from us! I have to do this!
Orion
No, you don't. Rebuilding Iacon cannot begin with an execution.
D-16
He deserves to die! Can't you see that?!
Orion
We're better than this. Don't be like Sentinel!
D-16
[whispering in a seethed warning]
Pax, you need to move out of my way... before I move you myself.
Orion Pax
D, listen–
Orion
[D-16 punches Orion out of the way. Then goes back to shoot Sentinel, his cannon charging up.]
STOP!
D-16
[Orion steps in front of his cannon as the blast rips through Orion's chest. D-16 watches Orion's body tumble over the edge of the Well of Sparks. D-16 grabs his hand, Orion dangling over the open chasm.]
No! No, no, no, no...Why?! WHY did you do that?! WHY?!
Orion
[Orion's body hangs, the light in his eyes beginning to fade. D-16's shock grows into anger. Slowly... Succumbing to the anger flaring within him... Orion still flickers with life, just barely.] [weakly]
D...no...
D-16
[D's eyes flicker around, his face obscured briefly as his head lowers. He becomes oddly still, then -- His eyes rise to meet Orion's, red.]
I'm DONE saving you.
[He purposefully drops Orion into the void, the light flickering from his eyes.]
Optimus
[Megatron falls to the ground defeated. Optimus stands, about as triumphantly as one could imagine, over Megatron.]
We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it. Just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens. [his faceplate retracts, revealing how truly heartbroken he is over losing his best friend] And you betrayed... me.
Optimus
[Megatron stands up on his own to face Optimus. He scowls as the new Prime avoids eye contact.]
Go. Take the High Guard and leave. [He finally makes eye contact.] You are... banished from Iacon.
Optimus
[The sting of the banishment is read on Megatron's face but he regains his composure.]
It didn't have to end this way.
Megatron
[spitefully]
This isn't over... Prime.
Megatron
[After another brief glare between the two, Optimus stands to one side to allow Megatron to limp away]
High Guard! Follow me!
[Megatron transforms into his tank form and rides away, with the members of the High Guard following him out of Iacon]
Orion Pax
[as Optimus watches Megatron and the High Guard leave Iacon City, he remembers the day he (as Orion Pax) first met D-16 during their first day at the mining crew] [D-16 is completing his working place with decorations based on Megatronus Prime]
Hey, Megatronus Prime. Nice!
D-16
Oh, yeah. Well, he's my hero.
Both
The greatest Prime to ever live.
D-16
[they happily share laughs and shake hands]
I'm D-16.
Orion
Orion Pax.
D-16
You... ever mined Energon before?
Orion
No. You?
D-16
No. I hear it's dangerous.
Orion
Well, tell you what. You watch my back, I promise to watch yours.
D-16
All right. Thanks, Pax.
[they gladly fist-bump, ending the flashback]
