Transformers: The Red One Who Shouldn't Exist

During Cybertron’s Golden Age, a youngling who should not have existed in this timeline was born: a Cybertronian with red paint and flame decals.

After a long period of growth, this Cybertronian witnessed both the comforts of Cybertron’s Golden Age and the suffering of its lower classes. But the corruption of the High Council’s power was not something he could fix alone. His name was Huo Leiting.

Near the end of the Golden Age, he met two close friends.

One was Orion Pax, a librarian. The other was Megatronus, a gladiator from Kaon.

During this time, Huo Leiting, Orion Pax, and Megatronus resolved to change Cybertron’s existing system. Huo Leiting began working among the lower ranks under the High Council, looking for opportunities for Orion and Megatronus.

But... perhaps the High Council had caught on, because they assigned Huo Leiting to a post exploring civilizations across the cosmos.

Then an accident severed Huo Leiting’s connection to Cybertron, leaving him lost in the vastness of space, drifting aimlessly.
