House (group)

Certain Cybertronians belong to a house, designated by an additional name appended after a bot's given name. Being of the same house will often be an indication that the individuals are spark-brothers, but not always. It is unknown if being a member of a house conveys any special social privilege. The position of Prime takes the same traditional place of a house name, and presumably takes precedence over an individual's former house in the case of them being elevated to primacy.

• Ambus - Known members include the spark-brothers Dominus Ambus and Minimus Ambus.
• Decimus - The only known member is known only as Decimus.
• Magnus - Known members include Delta Magnus and Ultra Magnus.

Notes

• While not 100% identical in application, a very similar concept exists in the Wings Universe for the "Sentinel line", the lineage of Sentinel Prime, his ancestor Sentinel EnN, and fellow descendant Sentinel Major. The only major difference between the two concepts is that the Sentinel name is used as a prefix, not a suffix.
