After a weekend of exam and assignment marking (guh), I decided to take a break this evening with some toy play.

Generations Orion Pax is exploring the crumbled remains of an Autobot City. In it he finds a weird glowing orb and he is too far underground to call for backup. Suddenly the original G1 Optimus Prime appears! He explains that he is Orion from the distant future. Then, one by one, other Optimi appear - Movieverse Protoform Optimus Prime, RiD2015 Warrior Class Optimus Prime, and finally Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime. At this time Orion is still loyal to Zeta Prime and has also been inspired by the stories of Megatron. The Optimi explain to him that Zeta's really a bad dude, and how his badness will eventually turn Megatron into a monster and blah blah blah backstory blah blah exposition blah. So Orion and the Optimi make plans. Orion goes back to Iacon and tells him of this weird energy source that he found and how future versions of himself have come to help. Orion lures Zeta into the underground city. The Ghosts of Christmas Fu---, uh, the Optimi try to convince Zeta to abandon his various nefarious schemes which they all know about cos it's ancient history to them. Zeta remains unconvinced and reluctant to yield to the Optimi's demands and tells them that it's already too late for them to save Megatron. PMOP nominates himself to hold Zeta captive in the underground city while the others must rush off. They don't know if the bar fight at Maccaddam's has happened already or not, so G1 & RiD OP rush off to the bar while Orion and Protoform OP go back to the police station. G1 and RiD OP arrive at Maccaddam's to find that they're too late. They immediately start heading to the station. Protoform OP takes flight and arrives at the station first, literally crashing through the doors. The Autobot officers point their guns at him but Protoform OP transforms to robot mode and demands that they do a Spark-scan of him. The Spark scanner confirms his identity as Orion Pax. The officers are dumbfounded but cannot dispute the evidence from the scan. Protoform Prime demands to see Megatron. He walks into WFC Megatron's cell and catches Generations Whirl beating the crap out of him. Protoform Prime smacks Whirl down and places him under arrest, ordering the other Autobots to take him away. Megatron is enraged after experiencing the power of applied violence - Prime knows this and quickly swoops in to comfort and counsel Megatron. He assures Megatron that Whirl is not representative of all Autobots, and there are many like him who want to be his friends and help him find a peaceful resolution to Cybertron's woes as he initially believed. Megatron realises that Whirl was sent by Zeta Prime. Optimus tells Megatron that he believes him (which surprises Megatron) and knows that there are more assassins coming for him tonight, but while he legally cannot release Megatron from custody, he will defend him to ensure that Megatron will come to no harm. Orion Pax and the other Optimi arrive and they prepare for Zeta's assassins. G1 Prime sits in Megatron's cell with him as a last line of defence. Orion Pax mans the reception desk by himself with his weapons just underneath. RiD OP hides in a closet while Protoform OP goes all Dawn-of-Justice-Batman and clings to the ceiling staring down like one bad Martha-trucker. The Optimi all load their guns with stun rounds as they are determined to prove to Megatron that they can resolve this without killing anyone. Except RiD OP who sticks with his trusty axe.

That night the assassins arrive. They demand to see Megatron, but Orion demands that they can only do this with written authority. They produce an authenticated order document signed by Zeta Prime (although without any explanation as to why). Orion Pax says that he won't recognise Zeta's authority since he's "mysteriously" gone missing. The assassins argue that the order was signed before Zeta's disappearance and that it is still legally valid. Out of arguments, Orion draws his rifle and begins firing stun rounds. Protoform and RiD OP also attack. The assassins have been equipped with reinforced armour plating, and they are carrying all manner of concealed weapons (none of which have a stun setting), and thus they begin fighting back. Orion and the two Optimi continue their offensive, with both Optimi sustain considerable damage. RiD OP literally disarms one of the assassins by chopping both arms off, then Orion immediately leaps in and throws a stasis collar on the "disarmed" assassin. They then help Protoform OP to subdue the second assassin and stasis cuff him.

That's all I'm up to. Time to head back to the toy room.

P.S.: Orion proved to be a massive pain in the butt to transform to vehicle mode! His upper torso part got really stuck and I had to use a LOT of excessive force to free that sucker! Got a freakin' callous on my finger tip thanks to it.
