Description
On Cybertron, mechs don't get to choose their future. Your district decides that for you. Orion Pax, like everybot else in District 12, was built for mining-to obey the Council and serve Sentinel Prime. But Orion has never been great at following the rules. When he's chosen for the Trials of Transformation-a brutal, televised fight to the death for the whole planet to watch-he finds himself surrounded by manipulators, cheaters, trained gladiators, and desperate mechs who will do anything to survive. He's not a soldier. He doesn't even have a transformation cog. But that's not going to stop him. He's bold, he's stubborn, and, as Elita once told him, "You have this blind optimism." The Trials were meant to be a lesson-a reminder of the Capitol's power. But Orion is about to turn them into something the Council never saw coming. (Or in other words, the Hunger Games, but on Cybertron and with Transformers)
