ECHOES OF THE SPARK AU DEEP DIVE
As you can tell, this is the image that started it all. Not my first comic, first time posting sharing though. To be honest, I took some inspo on the fic “The Bot Who Went Through Time”. Also, the Tfone Movie and a lil animation I saw in YouTube
I was genuinely surprised with how much attention it got, and so the brain worms started working, telling me to explore this concept and turn it into a full on AU
But of course, since this is my AU, there will be differences. And as you can see, in this time travel AU, in the past, Optimus Prime meets Orion Pax
Still figuring out this part, maybe Optimus is working part-time. But the general sense is: Optimus is with Orion Pax in the Archives to find a way back to his original time, and he is with D-16 in the mines to keep an eye on him, checking him for possible… Future Decepticon Warlord behaviour
Oh, and also. There’s Dpax in this AU, Romeo and Juliet ahhh. Wait! Why Optimus be looking at them like that???
In this AU, past Megatron is both D-16 and Megatronus. D-16, a miner who is secretly Megatronus, a gladiator participating in the illegal fighting pits in Kaon. And to be clear, those are not Galvatron and Unicron, I just thought they make cool easter eggs at the time, whoops!
Also, that is not Sentinel either. Just some random disposable bot that looks just like the bitch, another easter egg. And at the last part (the most iconic part according to ya’ll) That’s just Optimus’ hallucination, poor boy is that traumatized. Huhu
Honestly, this one was experimental. The scar on Op’s right arm was when they first met. And if ya’ll can’t tell, D-16 is the one that fixed it up. Wait! Op! What are you doing?! Time Travelling 101, do not tamper with the past!!!
Alright, I will admit. This may be the one that got many scratching their heads. Ok, it’s just Optimus looking back at everything he had just gone through. Finding out Orion Pax and D-16 are together, and then discovering that D-16 is a brutal gladiator. Then proceeds to have a mental breakdown. Poor Op, am I doing too much on the trauma dump?
Imma gonna put these two together, coz “Truth” is just a teaser for “Fate”. To those who asked if Optimus is telling Orion the truth about D-16’s hidden nature or the Decepticon Warlord he will become back in “Truth”, ya’ll get cookies
