	Orion Pax calls for the need for a new leader, a new [[Prime (rank)\|Prime]]. One who would recognize each person as his own unique individual, his own "Autonomous Robot". Orion reaffirms that all Cybertronians are Autonomous Robots, and from that coins the term "[[Autobot]]s", using it as the name for a new movement based on freedom and equal individuality. He again calls for the choosing of a new Prime, and rallies many supporters in the room for his Autobot movement.		Orion Pax calls for the need for a new leader, a new [[Prime (rank)\|Prime]].

	Halogen, however, calls for order and silences the room. He then speaks of also having come to realize the stagnation of their planet's way of life himself, and agrees that a new leader must be chosen to prevent their planet from collapsing into war. But, this new Prime must first find the lost [[Matrix of Leadership]], which, according to the Archivist [[~~Alpha Trion (WFC)\|~~Alpha Trion]], may yet lead Cybertron to a new golden era. If he can find it, Orion Pax may rightfully claim the Matrix, and Halogen promptly names him the new Prime: Optimus Prime.		Halogen, however, calls for order and silences the room.

	The newly rechristianed Optimus Prime attempts to decline the power that has been bestowed upon him, feeling unworthy of such an honor. Megatron however, see this promotion as an act of betrayal on Orion's part. Megatron accuses Optimus of having used him and his charisma to better his own image so that he, rather than Megatron, may take the title of Prime for himself. Optimus denies these assertions and tries to appeal to Megatron by reaffirming his beliefs in a free Cybertron and how, in its [[darkest hour]], Cybertron will find and choose someone to lead it to a new age. Megatron scoffs at these words, further accusing Optimus of having fallen in with the High Council's ways, which he will openly defy and lead the Decepticons against in full retaliation.
