Note
I love the way you view Feral Optimus, and so I decided to share some of my brain candy with you. (It's not Friday, but it's close enough). So, imagine Optimus has been turned into a sparkling (by way of ???) and teamed Prime is expecting him to be this quiet, polite little thing. Except he is decidedly Not That. He hides in dark corners, hisses, bites, looks at the kids like they're prey, and he even looks off. His limbs are awkward and gangly, he has fangs and claws, uses his finals and field to emote -along with a range of animalistic sounds- and even the center of his optics are slit like a cat's pupils. However, he's still a cute little thing, and after he finally gets used to everyone, he can be found snuggled up in unsuspecting laps, taking naps on shoulders, purring to show happiness, and even protecting the humans from a mountain lion on one particularly notable occasion. Sure, he tried to eat it afterwards, but Ratchet stopped him in time. Overall, everyone is just confused as to why their dignified leader is such a feral little sparkling. Even Ratchet, who knew Orion after his integration to society didn't know what was happening. He had demonstrated slightly feral behavior throughout their friendship, but the medic had never even considered the reason being anything like this. Needless to say, Optimus had some explaining to do after he turned back, both to the team and the humans.
Hope you enjoyed a little sample of my brain rot and I hope to see more of your work!

Omg I know I’m super late to this but tysm your kind words mean so much
I love how Orion has essentially just become a feral cat. I am so here for it
I’m just imagining team prime/ratchet carrying Orion around wearing the cybertronian equivalent of animal handling gloves. Tiny feral child my beloved

Okay, so weird TFP thought, if Energon comes from the crystal mines and aquifers of Cybertron...
Does this mean that modern Cybertronians, especially those from the city-states, are essentially vegan/vegetarian?
Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Alpha Trion had to use a spray bottle upon the newly christened Orion Pax on what is and isn't acceptable to consume...

Oh god it’s been so long since I did anything for transformers and shared it...
I did some feral sparkling Orion, trying to figure out how his anatomy would work.
I’m certain Alpha Trion stayed up solar cycles to catch him.
Also small note that I am taking sketch commissions, info here

Another au becouse im dumb.
Time travel au?
Okay, soo imagine some failed experiment, artefact or ground bridge malfunction that makes Optimus swap places with his younger version.
Optimus prime leader of the autobots sudenly appearing in Kaon in front of Megatronus, Soundwave and anyone who was with them.
And Orion Pax appearing on earth in autobot base with bots he mostly don't know and some tiny organics.
The chaos both of them could create. Like, Optimus trying not to say too much about what happened between him and his Megatron becouse he "doesn't want damage timeline or some shit" and talking about it would be terrible for him. In the meantime Megatronus going kinda wild becouse his sweet small archivist is now taller then him and much much stronger.
But on earth there is even more chaos. Orion from Ratchet's stories is completely different from this one. They imagined him as sweet calm cute and totally pacifist. And here comes real feral archivist ready to throw fists, bite and scratch. Like, he still is very intelligent, gentle and lovely most of the time but if you piss him of he is ready to fight. Don't forget that he wanted to overthrow government and helped creating decepticon cause. He is like a domesticated animal, he knows he shouldn't bite but it doesn't mean he won't.
Bonus: Megatronus definitely teached him how to fight when they were planning revolution. You can't tell me otherwise
I imagine Orion getting along good with Wheeljack. He would remind Pax of gladiators he used to spent a lot of time with.

I just finished reading “Remnants of the Wild” and I simply love the Feral Orion au (and your content overall). So, what would happen after he gives up the power of the matrix to put unicron to sleep and reverts back to Orion? What if instead of going to the nemesis with Megs, the team manages to lure him back to the base? I bet he would be really unhinged
OH my goodness. I love this thought so much.
If Optimus were to revert back into being a wild Cybertronian I have no doubt in my mind that it would be complete and total chaos, especially with his more civilized frame. It took Alpha Trion nearly a vorn, a whole vorn, just to make Orion somewhat civilized. The team would stand no chance of taming him since they would have him for what, like a week or two? Maybe a month at most before they could get his memories back?
It would be a disaster.
-
Feral Orion Returns
The very first thing that would happen after the memoryless Orion wakes up should be obvious. Of course he would attack the mech pointing a blaster at his helm.
Megatron would be far too startled by the sudden feral behavior to do much of anything except swing wildly as Orion runs circles around him, biting, clawing, and doing his best to rip Megatron to pieces. By the time the team arrive to pick up their Prime, Megatron is already hightailing it through a ground bridge and Orion is prowling around scared out of his wits and highly aggressive.
The team would likely have been the next victims of Orion's fear induced aggressiveness if he didn't recognize his own spark signature all over them. He would be less hostile after feeling their familiarity but would still be on edge and refuse to approach for quite some time until energon was brought into the mix.
Orion has never been a fool, even when he was wild. He would understand some of what the team were trying to accomplish by leading him along with energon, even if their sounds mean nothing to him. But not understanding what is going on and being stuck in a frame most definitively not the one he remembers being his, Orion would go with the team after no small amount of coaxing.
They would likely have to push him through the ground bridge as generally giant glowy things in the wild tend to mean danger.
From this point onwards it would be complete and utter chaos as no bot, not even Ratchet knows how to handle a completely wild Orion Pax.
Orion's mentality
Orion would spend at least the first three days just adjusting to the team and the children.
Then once he is comfortable and comes to the conclusion that they have energon and don't intend to hurt him, he would become rather social and curious.
Bumblebee would be subject to rather unusual pampering as to Orion he is barely bigger than a sparkling.
Orion would constantly keep Bumblebee by his side and drag him back by his neck guard whenever he inevitably attempts to wander off.
He would not understand his spontaneously adopted sparkling's desire to consume his energon in such a weird and pointless way.
Why take small sips when chugging the energon is more efficient and leaves nothing behind for scavengers to steal?
Bumblebee's odd desire to mess around with the glow screen and the small not-mech-not-mechanimal creatures would baffle him, but he would allow it so long as he remains nearby.
Sparklings must be watched in order to keep them safe from predators, even if the sparkling in question is not really a sparkling anymore.
Ratchet would be a bit of an enigma for Orion as the seeming leader of the pack would allow himself to get yelled at one moment but demand respect the next.
It only threw him off more when Ratchet's first response to seeing him is to treat him like a sparkling (by his wild standards).
The medic would constantly check on him, bring him energon, teach him things as best as he could, and use his own EM field to sooth him when he started to feel upset.
Orion is not quite sure how to categorize Ratchet on the pecking order of his new pack but he tends to treat the medic with respect and does not growl or otherwise make a scene around him.
As for Arcee and Bulkhead, Orion finds them just as strange due to their constant proximity to the not-mech-not-mechanimal creatures.
He firmly believes there is something wrong with them because of how fondly they treat the odd squishy looking creatures.
No reasonable mech (in his own opinion) would ever take on such useless, obviously prey animal like creatures without there being any purpose.
He has yet to see any purpose behind their choice to take care of the not-mech-not-mechanimal things and so treats Bulkhead and Arcee as equals, if a little lower on the pecking order than him,.
This leads him to be completely alright with growling, ignoring them, and asserting his dominance through flared plating and bared fangs when necessary.
He would also find the dynamic between the pack which he found himself integrated into to be incredibly off-putting.
They don't communicate with EM fields and keep them tucked away, much to Orion's confusion and irritation.
Their body language is filled with unnecessary movement and confusing to a simple and straightforward mech like Orion who can't figure out what they are trying to say no matter how closely he watches.
Orion's Habits
Not really understanding what is going on Orion would resolve to do whatever he feels like as there is no hunting and nothing to do besides keep an optic on the sparkling he adopted.
This would lead him to harass the human children as he tries to figure out what they are.
That would end quickly the moment Arcee and Bulkhead get involved.
He would also prowl around base, searching for hiding spaces and eventually figuring out how to get into the rafters of the base, much to the combined fear of everyone present when they look up and see a huge set of piercing blue optics staring into their sparks.
He would also make a stash of energon cubes in some dark corner, never to be discovered until months after the matter and long after his memories are returned.
He would also probably try to dig a hole in the ground at some point after feeling a little too exposed, but this would also be stopped quickly after Ratchet gets involved.
Instead Orion is given a bunch of empty crates to do with as he wishes.
He would build a cave like structure and defend it like his life depended on it.
Orion would also start randomly chewing on things as in his previous frame it was necessary for him to file his fangs down occasionally.
On that same train of thought he would also leave scratch marks everywhere like some giant cat for the exact same reason but instead for his claws.
He would also have some rather spectacular moments of clumsiness as he would not be used to his infinity less wild frame.
He would probably try to climb up the walls or something only to land on his aft after realizing his pedes are flat and aren't claw like anymore.
Orion would 100% try to eat dirt when feeling peckish only to realize it has no energon and is literally just dust and gravel.

Even if he could’ve talked, no one would’ve believed him.
He thought he was the only one out there, living in the cybertronian wilds. All someone would ever see out there were colonies of dying scraplets and grubs; and that’s if someone got lucky. It was dry, depressing, and terribly difficult to survive.
But then the thing came.
It started with wind. It was a cold wind, colder than anything Orion ever felt. When he smelled the fresh air, he crawls out of his little hole to breathe it in. He expected it to feel good on his hot face plate, but all it did was make him recoil in shock. He retreated back into his little cave.
Then came the powder. It fell from the sky. At first, it disappeared into the ground, never to be seen again; then it began to rest on it. Finally, it began to pile and pile, to the point where Orion had to dig through it to keep himself from getting walled in to his little hole. He hissed the moment he touched it; it was too strange. It was even colder than the wind that it came on. It was wet, but you couldn’t flow through it like liquid. It wasn’t hot, quite the opposite, yet it burned his servos raw. He retreated from it as soon as possible.
Then came the noise. He could describe it in a way someone could understand. It was, in a sense, an enjoyable screeching; almost like a bird. It started off quiet, like a humming in the back of his head; but it just kept getting louder, to the point where he could hear it over the raging wind above him. Terrified was an understatement, but the curiosity running through Orion’s circuits couldn’t keep him still.
He finally crawled all the way out of his hole. Orions pedes began to burn in the white cold. He moved forward towards the sound in a rush. The sooner he found out what it was, the sooner he could go back to shelter and nurse his nonexistent wounds. He didn’t know how long he trudged through the white powder; he couldn’t navigate out here; everything was pure white, including the sky. The noise got incredibly loud, but it stopped all too suddenly. Orion stopped in his tracks and looked around. What happened? Why did the noise stop? When even was he? He only had seconds to ponder before he finally looked in front of him.
The thing. It just stood there. It was too tall. It’s fingers were too long. Its eye was too bright. It was too quiet. It just stood there, starring at him. It held two strange sticks; in his right servo was a long and thin one, in the second was one so strangely shaped that he could only describes it in detail; The large end of it was resting on it’s shoulder.
Orion felt colder than he ever had in his life. It wasn’t the powder or the wind that kept him still as a statue, but the gaze of the thing in front of him. Its eye glowed a burning white and its gaze pierced his very spark. Only the sudden, high pitched return of the sound made Orion move. It had rubbed its sticks together, making the sound that Orion had been so eager to track.
Orion sprinted back the way he came faster than he possibly could’ve. He never saw the thing or the powder it brought again.
No one ever did.
Happy Holidays Lightbulbs!! In the spirit of Winter, here’s the story of Orion and a winter spirit! This is a very late contribution to Feral Optimus Friday; I felt you guys really deserved it, especially considering that I’m a neglectful parent to my followers most of the time. Please enjoy!
(P.S, if you want a name for the thing, you may call it Frostbite :) )

I've been seeing so many works about Optimuses gathered together across the universe, and yeah, there's the general consensus that the Optimi would side-eye Bayverse and his (violent) downward spiral, but c'mon!
Where's the side-eye towards TFP? I don't mean with the bromance between him and Megatron, I'm talking about TFP being his unintentional feral, awkward self.
Unlike his other counterparts, TFP had come from the boonies of nowhere and straight-up wilds, and then got his education from a recluse that's in so many political pies and skills from a multitude of people from a variety of backgrounds.
Like there are Things that TFP's friends, coworkers, close advisors, and teammates just... accept because it's Orion Pax/Optimus Prime.
He may have assumed responsibility over his collection of teens, but he isn't really close to them, so they don't see the shit that the others do. Even Smokescreen has moments where his thoughts are like, "Is this a Prime-thing? It must be a Prime-thing!"
Like give me the Optimus that will literally go into an in-depth discussion on the unique culture of each city-state can be stemmed by the Primes they either patroned or championed, but will straight up eat raw Energon crystal because there's a line at the convertor. 10/10 would lick a cave wall to determine its composition. (In fact, this is how Megatronus met Orion. This guy straight up took a bite of someone's art project/stupid dare because he couldn't understand egging pranksters and didn't drop from the inedibles of dark arts.) He likes long drives (makes sense, he's a convoy), free style rock-climbing off of cliffs (what), and can parkour off a ridiculous building (WHAT)
He's the equivalent of the human would eat the plastic imitation fruit and either politely say it's not his thing or finish it off if it was scented. The buff nerd that's weirdly quiet and would have the knowledge to homebrew pyrotechnics and utilize them if necessary. You would never expect this guy to be outdoorsy, he is. Very. Can tell people which wild plants or animals will cause vivid hallucinations or sleep paralysis in an offhand manner. Do not get this guy shit-faced: everything will become surreal.
