Back in the golden age,
when the days were young
and our lives were just blossoms
opening up to the tender sun...
We might grow strong.
We might grow old.
But those times then
were the stories we hold.
... Stories long been told.

So, this is Orion Pax... at least.... the way I imagined him. G1 goobers would probably have a fit, but I swear to Primus I kept his story mostly intact! The Aerialbots still meet him, Alpha Trion still upgrades him and he still has an evil foe named Megatron. Yup... you non-transformers fans guessed right, it's Optimus Prime in his early days.

Yeah.... so I've been on the deep end of artistic inspiration as of late... so my first instinct is to dive right into fan art. I've been writing a fanstory for Transformers for about... a month now, I suppose. Well... let me rephrase that.... I've been "BRAINSTORMING" for a month. I've only got part of the first chapter actually written.

Anywho, this design is based off his G1 (cartoon) design, Transtech and slightly some Animated in there (like the eyes and "beard"). I tried to give him a shabby coloring job to make him look like he's dirty and his "color is fading". After all, he was just a simple energon miner... lulz
