"Through the Energon Fires during the Autobot's first wave of attacks on Iacon, I saw a sight I never thought I'd see. Orion Pax and his manipulated body... standing in the middle of it all, just standing there. Staring deep into my spark... It made me wonder, was the Senate really telling the truth?" -Bulkhead.
Some context: When the war started in the Emputara!Orion Pax AU, the majority of the Autobots in the Autobot Resistance are mostly consisting of canon G1 and IDW Decepticons with a few exceptions (Ratchet and Ironhide, for example). But when the war began to kick into higher gear, we begin to see the Senate's Decepticons leaving the army to join the Autobots (Not a WHOLE bunch, just a noticable number). Why?
Because they SAW Orion Pax. They saw the true horror of how a respectable and loved officer of the law became an abomination of science. And they truly see what the Senate is willing to do to keep their power.

Ight here is the design for Megatron for my Emputara Megatron AU. I used Transformers Prime/Animated/Shattered Glass/IDW for the basis for the design so I hope you guys enjoy! Here's the link to the original post about this AU Here's the link to the Orion Pax Design
Megatron led the team of his fellow Cybertronians through the halls of the Institute until they came to the largest room in the entire facility. In front of it was Prowl, holding the biggest gun Megatron had ever seen. "That is far enough." He said matter-of-factly. The weapon slowly charged up. "You and your team will follow me to interrogation, or you will be eliminated. Please just go the easy route. We don't need any more problems." Prowl aimed the nozzle at Megatron's head in an attempt of intimidation, but in Prowl's shock, Megatron just laughed. "You seem to forget, Prowl. I have mined in the tunnels and fought in the pits of Kaon. That weapon you hold may be big, but it'll be an meer scratch of my paintjob. So go ahead. Shot." Prowl glared and was about to pull the trigger when out of the shadows popped Whirl, his new one eye head seering with hatred. "This is what you get for trying to mess with my mind, PROWL!!!" He shouted loudly before punching the cop in the faceplate so hard it sent Prowl straight into the opposing wall, knocking him out cold. "Now... can we get Orion outta here? This place is going to be crawling with guards soon!" Onslaught said, pointing at the sirens blaring everywhere. Megatron nodded and pointed to Soundwave and Ironhide to begin busting the door down. Within second the door came crashing down. The team rushed inside. Inside was a bunch of machinery and giant test tubes hosting arms, legs, and torsos. It was a mad science lab to be frank. Megatron just got the creeps. Until he laid eyes on the tube in the center of the lab. It had an entire body in it. Ratchet also noticed and his eyes went wide. "No..." was all he whispered. Megatron ran up to the tube and immediately began crying.
Inside was the unconscious and manipulated body of Orion Pax. Megatron slammed the glass, Soundwave and the others standing back. Megatron then looked up into the black expression of Orion. "The Council will pay for this... Or my name isn't MEGATRON, now Leader of the soon to become AUTOBOTS!"

Here is my Emputara!Orion Pax for the Emputara!Orion Pax AU. Our poor boi has been traumatized immensely as you can see. But now he ain't going to be dying hundreds of times.

OKAY OKAY HERE ME OUT: What if Orion Pax was the one sent to the Institute and was forced to go under the Emputara Process? And Senator Shockwave was simply placed in prison? Here's what I think would have gone down: Megatron would learn of what happened and grow upset. At this time Orion and Megatron were friends. So Megatron would gather anyone he can. Some of the highlights would be Onslaught, Brawl, Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Ironhide, Barricade, and Blaster. They would basically go full ballistic on the Institute and proceeds to raid the entire place, freeing Whirl in the process. They get to Orion, but it is too late, he had already gone under the process. So, in order to keep Orion MOSTLY himself, Soundwave hacks the system and is able to restore most of Orion's emotional processing, but in the end, he could fully revert the process. Orion can feel feelings but can't express them. And his body was heavily manipulated (Think Transformers Prime Shockwave with IDW Comics Optimus Prime). Megatron is so upset and fully opens up the idea of war. In the end many Cybertronians join him, and the war begins.
The two sides are the Autobots and the Decepticons. Megatron leads the Autobots, while the Cybertronian senate lead the Decepticons.
