- He looks for any clue that leads to the Leadership Matrix, all to help Sentinel "Prime" (before knowing about the betrayal).
- He insults Darkwing for unfairly firing Elita, which is deserved.
- He initially tries to convince D-16 to participate in the Iacon 5000 Race to prove to everyone his potential.
- Despite not having a Cog, Orion uses creative tactics to stay ahead of the race and only misses out on winning the Iacon 5000 race due to helping D-16 after he was injured.

- He comes up with a plan that involves using Airachnid's memories to expose Sentinel, and succeeds in the end.
- He tries to convince D-16 not to kill Sentinel, but by then it was too late.
- His sacrifice for the greater good makes him worthy of the Matrix of Leadership and he becomes Optimus Prime.
