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.
