After TF Prime Optimus becoming a Titan, I raise to you : TFOne Optimus becoming a Titan !
As Orion Pax, he was used to being short, being cogless and all. He's seen holos and read (stolen) datapads on the Primes in the Archives. He always wondered why Sentinel was not as big as the dead Primes but reasoned Sentinel must just be a more recent one, his transformation and growth has just not progressed far yet...
When they get to the caves and see the gargantuan corpses of the primes, the group is breath taken. The miners barely reaching to their knee joints !!
It's a sport and they have to clamber up on rocks and each other to give energon cubes to the towering Alpha Trion. And even then, they barely have enough for him to correctly come back from his long stasis.
Then the reveal comes. And we know Sentinel has not grown because he isn't a real Prime.
And when Orion is given the Matrix and becomes Optimus Prime, he feels ridiculous and ridiculously tall. Twice his original size and he is now aware his growth has just begun. That and the fact that his very new ground alt-mode will probably completely change at some point in the future...
And from Megatron's perspective, his best friend has always been a bit shorter than him. Then Primus gives him a primordial relic that makes him just a smidge taller than Megatron. And in their next altercation, Optimus is a bit taller. And the next time, he has again grown !
I have actually thought about TFOne for this au but not much at all. More of a “what if…”
For this one, I was thinking the whole growth is only to the Matrix bearers since it is an artifact of Primus. I think it would be a neat idea, though it is just a thought.
It would be funny to see that Sentinel is just a shortie and the rest just tower over his aft. It would most definitely raise questions on his true identity, making the all curious Orion go and discover “the truth”.
Gosh, this au for TFO is just a cool thing to think about because of opportunities. Optimus fighting Megatron for the safety of Iacon and later banished… The next meeting will be a surprise to the both of them. A transformation that both rivals never expected, one’s best friend turned into a tyrant, the other turned into the very thing D-16 hated; a Prime. Just a fight alone against a giant Prime seems really cool.
Part of me wants to write a fic about it however I SUCK at writing. Maybe someday?
