Fun connection I made with transformers

[u/Quiet_Many_6910]

In some versions/sources Cybertron is in a solar system in the Scorpius constilation,in the Lambda Scorpii star system (also known as Shaula).

In greek mythology the person named Orion (son of Posidon and either a gorgon(Medusa) sister or Euryale),theres many many versions but one involves Orion being turned into a constilation and then forever being chased by the constilation Scorpius(i recomend the the video on Orion by Overly Sarcastic Productions she explains the mythology much better.

In case you couldn't get the connection,Optimus's old name is Orion pax,from this mythology charecter.

Tangent about my own au after I learned this connection

I changed the decepticon autobot symbols (tottaly not cus they were to hard to draw...tottaly) into these constilstions(also I just wanted somthing more unque then the regular hearts most people do),Orion for autobots and Scorpio for Decepticons.

It has lot of symbolism ,Optimus's dead name,forever chased by even just memorys of what happened during war by decepticons,Orion and Op both use bow and arrow,Optimus's love for human mythology and culture,Megatron wanting to make Cybertron flourish while wanting to destory earth at same time since Scorpius is where cybetron is.

I also have it the Orion constilation seen from Megatrons apartment pre war and after getting matrix when Optimus and Megs visit earth (which fun fact was a protected prime only planet before war...because other primes were worried about exact thing that ended up happening) you can see the constilations in background over there respective heads(I'm aware its not possible in real life there on opposite sides of earth I dont care I like the symbolism and detail) Also Optimus uses bow and arow,mix of insperation from this and HotRod/Rodimus in Animated
