Note: The Aerialbots stated that Orion and HIS GIRLFIRNED were killed. Alpha Trion stated "Bring them here and I'll see what I can do." After repairing Optimus, he mentioned that Ariel would be Elita-1. Dion was never mentioned again.

Refuse to acknowledge a series that gave us the hated Alpha Trion

Writer of the episode David Wise wrote the episode before the script for the movie was made public.
Fact:
Writer David Wise had no knowledge of the chracter that would become Ultra Magnus while writing the story of War Dawn.
Fact:
No mention of Dion being rebuild was ever made. There was made mention of others being back at the hanger, but only Aeriel was mentioned to become Eltia One.
Fact:
Orion Pax never showed his alt-mode in the cartoon, so there is no basis to believe that he shared his alt-mode design with Dion.
Fact:
There is aprox. 9.000.000 years between War Dawn and the "present day" of the cartoon, between which a lot can happen. Even if Dion was rebuild, or reformatted as we say these days, there is no hard evidence he would still be around after all this time.
Subject:
Ironhide's comment of "fighting the decepticons as long as we have", could suggest that in an earlier draft that this was the set up to later reveal he was once Dion. Most stand alone story do have a payoff like that within them. Editing of the story may have cut the pay off from the story.
Subject:
Dion's use of 'chums' towards Silverbolt ("Go get your circuits checked, Chum"), is very similar to the use of how Ironhide directs his conversations with people, calling them pals and soforth. Ultra Magnus never displayed that type of effection.
My believe is more that Dion ISN'T Ultra Magnus, rather than that he is Ironhide. But if he did become one of the two and you could only choose one of these two, logically it could only be Ironhide.Predaprince wrote:So, it is your belief that Dion was turned into Ironhide?
If so, that's fine. The only problem I have is people who think that A3 (Alpha Trion) would just leave Dion there and not rebuild him.

My non canon theory was that while the matrix was used in rebuilding OptimusPrime into the autobot leader we know, Magnus was braught about by other means... like VectorSigma.ChromedomeMK2 wrote:I know some people dont believe this theory but I think theres some logic to this theory.
Magnus and prome are old friends and sometimes like brothers.
Magnus and Prime are the same toy cab.
Magnus this days are always repiants.
