House (group)

This article is about the social grouping. For the building from the 2019 IDW continuity, see House (building).

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.

Known Houses

• Ambus - Explicitly named as a house. Known members include the spark-brothers Dominus Ambus and Minimus Ambus.
• Decimus - Explicitly named as a house. The only known member is known only as Decimus.
• Magnus - Explicitly named as a house. Known members include Delta Magnus, Ultra Magnus and Sentius Magnus.
• Maximus - Not explicitly named as a house, but with several known members, including Fortress Maximus, Pious Maximus, Halonix Maximus and Zarak Maximus.
