In the Transformers cartoons, Orion Pax was the original form of the robot who would one day become Optimus Prime. His only appearance in the television show was in the episode War Dawn, in Generation One. He had a friend, Dion, and a girlfriend named Ariel.
The young Orion Pax looked up to the Decepticon leader Megatron and tailed him on an energon raid; When Megatron shot Pax in cold blood after Pax raised objections to Megatron's methods, he was taken to Alpha Trion and repaired. His new body was that of Optimus.
In another continuity Optimus received the Matrix from Sentinel Prime, so it is doubtful he had the same origin.
