Five years have passed since the heroic sacrifice of Optimus Prime and the valiant efforts of the Autobots brought an end to the Chaos Bringer, Unicron, and marked the rebirth of Cybertron from the ashes of war. Peace had finally returned to the planet, and for the first time in centuries, the sparks of its people could beat without fear. Under a fragile but hopeful new order, the Autobots began to rebuild not just their shattered world-but their way of life. But peace is never eternal. In the shadows of Cybertron's forgotten warzones and ancient catacombs, a new threat rises-a cunning and ruthless warlord who has seized control of the fractured Decepticon remnants. Driven by vengeance and dark ambition, he plots to awaken Unicron once more and plunge the universe into chaos. As the Autobots scramble to prevent another catastrophe, an ominous prophecy begins to echo across the stars-one that speaks of betrayal, redemption, and a warrior of lost origin. Meanwhile, on Earth, a mysterious Cybertronian drifter known only as Orion Eclipse searches for the missing pieces of his past. Haunted by visions, fragmented memories, and the pain of a forgotten legacy, Orion is drawn into a conflict he does not fully understand. Once branded a Decepticon, now hunted by both friend and foe, he must choose between the dark past he's been chained to and the light that could define his future. As old enemies resurface and new alliances are forged, the fate of both Earth and Cybertron hangs in the balance. Will Orion Eclipse rise to become the hero Cybertron never knew it needed... or will his buried past drag them all into oblivion? In the end, one question remains: Will he be the one to light their darkest hour?

Before he became Optimus Prime, the great leader of Cybertron, he was merely a slave of entertainment, known only by the code C-372. Amid the brutal life of the slave markets, his only purpose was to protect his two younger brothers, Toxitron and Blacklaser. That was, until the day Alpha Trion appeared- freeing them from their suffering and giving the boy a new name: Orion. Orion grew up in a warm, loving home, with a dream of one day becoming an astronomer. But when he witnessed the rot festering at the heart of Cybertronian society, he made a different choice- he chose to become a police officer instead. It was through that path he came to know Elita-One and D-16 (the future Megatron) in the deepest of ways. After the shocking assassination of Sentinel Prime, Orion was chosen as the next bearer of the Matrix, a decision met with deep mistrust by society- especially from Ultra Magnus. He soon found himself standing trial, in a hearing that felt more like a public execution than a judgment. And yet-he did not waver. Behind a mask that hid every emotion, he stood tall. The tale of a slave who rose to become a leader... begins here.
