Onyx

Onyx is a corporation from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

This subject of this article goes by multiple names that apply to other articles as well. See Onyx Prime, Onyx Primal.

Garrison Blackrock heads Onyx, a cutting-edge think tank and electronics manufacturer that uses reverse-engineered Transformer technology to make people's life easier. Onyx has revolutionized the consumer electronics market with a bevy of tablets, personal computers, and other electronic gizmos.

... at least, that's what most people know about the company. Those in Blackrock's inner circle know that their eccentric founder has found more insidious applications for his marvelous technology: creating armies of man-made Transformers and even colluding with the Decepticons. And even less of them are aware that his business empire was built off the code of the vaunted Enigma of Combination–a supernatural artifact capable of warping the fabric of the universe itself.

Unlike many other companies, Onyx's products have not yet turned homicidal, so that's probably a good thing to put in their quarterly reports.
