D-16 offlines quietly in the mines (likely a staged cave in to get rid of some of the more rebellious mechs) and somehow starts watching over Cybertron as a ghost.
(He was simply too angry to die.)
Later, Orion Pax semi-aligned himself with Senator-turned-Gladiator Shockwave.
Orion digs a bit too deep into the Senate's affairs and gets assassinated.
Plot reasons, Orion ends up as a ghost, too.
(Spite. The answer is spite.)
Blah blah blah- Orion and D-16 meet, and Orion gets D-16 to give himself a name. They end up with Megatronus because the miner respects the original Megatronus Prime for some reason?????
(Maybe it was Orion that came up with it?????)
Megatronus has mostly been watching over the mines and the Pits of Kaon since he died.
(Cuz he wants to look after His People.)
Orion, sensing the kindred spirit of rebellion and justice, proposes that they get resurrected and fix Cybertron.
Megan, skeptically: No one has ever come back from the dead. Once your spark is extinguished, there is nothing to be done!
Orion Pax, literally raised by one of the Thirteen: We are already breaking the afterlife, Megatronus. And just because it has never been done before, does not mean that it is impossible. Just highly unlikely.
Also Orion Pax: I just really want to go on a super cool history quest and start a rebellion and we're already ghosts Megatronus so something is clearly going on here, maybe it's destiny, who cares just let me have this.
They go on Danny Phantom/Indiana Jones/National Treasure/Star Trek type misadventures (with a bit of ghostly screwing around on the way) and somehow get resurrected (with a few frame changes).
There are two ways this could end.
