Iacon Destroyed, 2024
Fandom: Transformers: Prime
Digital Art
Variable dimensions - 1080 × 1920 px
Collection of the artist
Rating: General Audiences
Tags: Transformers:Prime, Megatron & Optimus Prime, Angst, Pre-war, Optimus looking at a crumbling depiction as the last thing remaining from his best friend is something that can be so personal
Creator's Notes: My artwork shows Optimus Prime standing in front of a destroyed Iacon - the capital of his home planet Cybertron, partially obstructed by an old graffiti of his former friend - now nemesis - Megatron. Prime once helped to found his movement, the Decepticons, to combat the class inequalities and to fight for equal rights for the lower castes against the corrupt high castes of Iacon. However, he was in favor of a peaceful resolution while Megatron was not. Most of the Decepticons (whose motto of "You're being Decieved" lent them their name) followed Megatron into a bloody civil war.

Comments
This artwork depicts the same struggle between old and new that Teshaieva wanted to highlight. Prime sees the change Megatron wrought behind the last image of his old friend: He destroyed the caste system as intended - but with it, his relationship to Prime, the entire city and later, the planet.
