Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Doctor Takahashi Chifumi hailed from some part of the Cymond Cluster.
Just before the Waruder invasion of Axiom Nexus, Vector Prime noted that the Transcendent Technomorphs had yet to chart what they would come to name as the Cymond Cluster. He also noted that the TransTechs would attempt to catalog the Cymond Cluster with varying degrees of success until Nexus Prime's yet-to-occur drastic actions would severely curtail their ability to do so.

TransTech
In an interview with Rook in the wake of the Waruder invasion, Rhinox informed the journalist that the TransTech authorities had designated the universal cluster of origin for the Waruders as the Cymond Cluster, noting that it was new to their database. It was so remote that Rhinox and his team hadn't realized it was part of the Multiverse at all.
The crisis caused the Axiom Nexus government to send hundreds of probes to the fringe realities, to get a better idea of what was out there. A few weeks after Rook questioned if this could lead to someone tracking them back, every Cymond probe went dark... Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist
Notes
- The Cymond Cluster encompasses the continuities of many "pre-Transformers" toylines and other miscellaneous, often TakaraTomy-owned, toylines related to Transformers, such as Brave, Starriors, and Zoids.
- Unlike the many Hasbro toylines such as G.I. Joe which have connections to Transformers, the franchises included in Cymond get to (narrowly) be part of the Transformers multiverse because they have transforming robots, who serve the role of being analogs to Transformers.
- "Cymond" is a portmanteau of "cyclone" and "diamond", like "Diaclone" is.
