Season 2 of Earthspark: "These children are born inherently evil"
Consider... Alpha Trion having wings.
Alpha Trion's wings giving him a silhouette that looks like a cape. Listen I just love the concept of cape looking wings.
The archives being super tall to house the sheer mass of cybertronian knowledge and built with Alpha Trion and his wings in mind.
He launches himself up in the archives to quickly reach hard to reach datapads, hovers as he decides which ones to bring back down, and sits on high shelves without fear when he gets distracted by a particularly eye catching entry. Yes he's read this book 50 times already! It's just that good of a book that it maintains that excitement with every read!
Poor Orion has to use a shit ton of those library ladders to reach certain ones at his mentor's request or if he wants to read a data pad with knowledge that isn't frequently accessed.
Until, as Optimus, he gets wings and and OP is like "FINALLY!" and can't resist copying his old mentor.
The rebuilding of the Archives, once the war is over, is done with the intent of making it more accessible to cybertronians. Optimus actively works with the rebuilding of the Archives in particular to basically make an information hub freely accessible by everyone.
Yes there are still high shelves but those are saved for original copies, old datapads on their last legs, and less accessed materials. Copies of all of them can be accessed on multiple floors and terminals.
Basically Optimus, while not an archivist anymore, actively makes sure that knowledge is shared and spread to everyone.
