Au where Megatron falsely thought Orion Pax was essentially lobotomized into being a prime.
And it leads to funny scenes.
"You stole Orion Pax 's body, OPTIMUS!" - Megatron
"...I am Orion Pax." - Optimus, completely exasperated.
And oh yeah, it would lead to sad scenarios as well. Such as Megatron thinking he lost a friend because of his false assumptions. But, think of the FUNNIES.
That's how every continuity where Optimus and Megatron were friends before becoming enemies is interpreted in fanfictions. Especially Transformers Prime and Transformers One.
me when my idea isn't original and is actually a common idea πππππππππ₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ (silly)
Yeahhh it being forcefully canoned is.... strange. Personally I'm only thinking of the funny side of this idea. But it's very obvious that Megatron, in canon, still knows Optimus IS Orion Pax and sees him as a TRAITOR at most. (Mostly referring to tfp/tfo).
Megatron: "I miss Orion Pax. I miss his voice."
Optimus Prime: "I'M RIGHT HERE!"
Megatron: "I could still hear him even offlined."
Optimus Prime: π
Primus: π
Unicron: "And I'm the one supposed to cause chaos. This Buckethead creates chaos and misunderstandings by himself!"

In this case it's funny, but sometimes it seems people forget those lines where Megatron knows that Orion Pax and Optimus Prime are the same bot.
In Transformers One D-16 now Megatron literally say "Primus gave you the Matix?!".
I don't know in Transformers Prime (I'm still at Transformers G1) , I only saw the last episode of season 1 and first two (three?) episodes of season 2 when I got YouTube for the first time. But if Megatron actually cared about Orion Pax, he shouldn't have lied to him all the time Optimus was amnesiac.
I know there are people who use this trope knowing it's not canon, and I actually like to read those fanfics and aus. But other times this trope his forcefully canoned making me think people skipped some characters's lines.
And I talk about it as a new Transformers fan who's studying what's happened in this Fandom before I was get into it. π
Yeah unfortunately a LOT of people tend to get so into their headcanons that they think it IS canon.
Megatron HATES Optimus after their falling out. Even acknowledging that Optimus = Orion or vice versa.
I get it. The headcanon is a very fun idea. But y'all, lets accept the fact it isn't CANON. πππ

Megatron: "You ARE Orion Pax..."
Optimus: "Whatever made you guess?"
