Were the seekers around when Megatron kill Orion Pax?

2 possibilities:

1) They were but they were not with Megatron. This means that they were in another city or area of Cybertron causing
trouble.

or

2) They were there with Megatron when he killed Orion Pax, but not as the Pyramid fighters (that is what I call the G1 Seekers Cybertronian alt modes). It's possible that since both Skywarp and Thundercracker both recognized the Guardian Robot this could mean they originally MIGHT have been the ground units that were damaged in the fight in the past.
After the battle Megatron (and maybe Shockwave) rebuilt them as Pyramid Fighters that later became the Earth jets that we know and love to hate.
