What are the universal streams of Earthspark and Transformers One? With the Shrouding preventing the TransTech from plotting the multiverse, it falls on us fans to do so instead. That brings up a couple of questions. What exactly is the exact, precise definition of a universal cluster which we can use to checklist all future media to determine whether it’s a new cluster or not? You previously designated Cyberverse as Khathos cluster. All three use evergreen. Are they the same cluster?

Dear Continuity Codifier,

As you note, the actions of my brother Nexus have greatly limited the Transcendent Technomorphs' ability to map the universe. Since the Shroud fell, Axiom Nexus had only been able to concretely identify four new "pillar realities"; while consensus has labelled one of the four as Primax 623.14 Gamma, the other three—temporarily classified as 818.27 Alpha, 1122.11 Alpha, and 924.20 Delta—have yet to be conclusively named. As you say, stream 818.27 Alpha has tentatively been classified as part of the Khathos cluster; however, there are still many who argue it belongs as part of the Primax or Uniend clusters. Universe 1122.11 Alpha has been similarly argued to be part of the Primax, Uniend or Khathos clusters; among those who consider it to be part of its own cluster, proposed names include Gaius, Pentis, Ninmah, Onogo, and Dheghom. As for stream 924.20 Delta—well, it was detected so recently that there is nowhere near consensus on its placement or classification, with some scientists proposing it to be part of the Tyran cluster thanks to their near-identical levels of Lorenz-Ω electromagnetic force.

Of course, as I've mentioned before, the academic discourse surrounding universal streams is far from settled. In fact, in the aftermath of the Shroud, a significant corpus has come to believe that the terminology of "universal clusters", while once useful, has become redundant now that there are barely a Prime's dozen reality streams to keep track of. Some have proposed adopting the "spacetime" system of Cloud World to more precisely pinpoint spatio-temporal coordinates within these realities, while others have suggested entirely new systems that would "lump" universes together more broadly—though, of course, each of these approaches introduces its own difficulties that make me doubt that the current paradigm will be abandoned any time soon. The universal stream system may not be perfect, but it is functional, and I have my doubts that any replacement would have benefits outweighing the difficulties in completely overhauling the system from the ground up.

Ah, but I digress. You wanted to know how universal clusters are determined? Well, as I have illustrated, that is a complex and highly subjective process. Generally, TransTech scientists will log a reality stream's most fundamental traits—ranging from macro-scale aspects such as a high level of WY-att interference waves, to micro-scale details like the presence or absence of the AllSpark—and compare them to other, similar realities, grouping them by their most common shared traits. Thus, a reality in which the Mini-Cons were central to the Cybertronians' war, the power of Primus manifests through Cyber Keys, and the planet Xerxes is at least five parsecs off-course from impact with the Omicron Rift might be classed as part of the Aurex Cluster, and so on. These heuristics might strike you as rather arbitrary, and indeed there are one or two outspoken researchers to have come out of Axiom Nexus’ organic population, who are increasingly vocal in their criticism of the TransTechs’ classification system for its cybercentric framing of reality.

Ultimately, I think you are correct: it is up to you, not we Transformers, to determine how to categorize the multiverse in the way you find most useful. Surely you would be better served by a taxonomy that reflects more human-relevant concerns—perhaps distinguishing realities by whether or not the Federation of Western Europe was founded, or the number of Earth's moons?

...Squinting. Is this another weird 'April Fools' thing? False, scrungly warrants?

(Who in the pits would try to preside over the entirety of the multiverse?? That just sounds like a logistical nightmare.)

[weaimtomaim]

Swindle: Hey folks, if you got any strange messages from the "Axiom Nexus Security Administration" today, consider the matter resolved. Any talk about needing to report somewhere about who you've been in contact with or the possibility of arrest has been tossed out.

Just some poor bot thinking they could somehow control the entire multiverse if they just sent off enough strongly worded messages. The confidence would almost admirable, if it wasn't so deeply misplaced. And annoying.

Their commander packed them up and escorted them home. Shouldn't be an issue any further.

[secincmmand]

"I do not recall seeing 'universal travel' as a capital offense under the Autobot Code, or any code for that matter.

However, I do understand why and how dangerous it could be. Interfering with timelines can lead to catastrophic effects on the universe if one is not careful."

Not that he knows anything about it. Ultra Magnus has read a lot of books, per Optimus's recommendation.

[brctherscnce]

Optimus was trying his hardest to study what this Axiom Nexus was-- barely anything came up, but there was one thing that lingered. Dux non Intruitus.

... His brow-ridges furrowed, and he felt his servo hovering over his chassis, over his sparkcore, where the Matrix resided.

There had to be something more about this-- something undoubtedly important. If it dealt with the multiverses, then... was it a sort of hub? But where?

[mr-t-stark]

Tony clenches his jaw.

"Doesn't matter. I need to know: is everyone okay?" he asks, a hint of desperation in his voice, "That's all I need to know. What happened after I snapped? Where's Thanos? What happened to Rhodey, Pepper, Happy, the team... fuck, is Peter okay?"

He's starting to regret coming to Strange first and foremost rather than visiting the rest to confirm things himself. The panic he's been trying to keep at bay is slowly creeping back into him, his breaths coming in and out rapidly in near-hyperventilation.

He feels like a ball of anxious energy and utter confusion, ready to burst at the slightest trigger.

"And the stones. What happened? Where are they? We need to destroy them. Now."

"I couldn't be more surprised to see you."

In spite of, or perhaps due to, the fact that Stark's supposed to be dead, a warring mix of relief and concern fills Stephen. Stark standing in front of him now means that Stephen hadn't consigned him to permanent death for the sake of the greater good.

He was only one of many that suffered from Stephen's choice back on Titan, but it was his life, his face, that had haunted Stephen's nightmares and had weighed the most heavily on his conscience.

All of his superfluous thoughts are chased away when Stark brandishes the empty gauntlet on his hand. Or at least empty to anyone other than a sorcerer.

Rather embarrassingly, he was so distracted by Stark's presence, Stephen hadn't noticed the massive amounts of lingering Infinity stone energies on the man's hand. It may lack the stones, but the remnants left behind had the potential to be harnessed for nefarious purposes.

Stephen swallows his unease. "It is." He agrees, but he can't help the slight waver in his voice. "Or at least so I thought. I hadn't looked much further after... after the final snap."

Oh wow, it's really been awhile since I posted anything, huh?

Well! In honor of Transformers Day, here's an update to TFA Dreadringer (AKA Dreadful Convoy from his Axiom Nexus agent days!)

Both his Optimus-alike "Disguise Mode" and his true Scorpion Mode beneath it!

So, for my own fanfic purposes, I worked on a list of canonical locations on Cybertron. I don't know if any site has a nicely formatted list of cities/city-states, so I thought I might share this list with others. This is mostly comprehensive as I left off locations that were too specific to one continuity or too confusing and it's quite possible I missed a few places. There are some continuity specific places included I think are more flexible. Many items on this list are not expanded upon, so you can have as much fun as you want.

Wait.... Is this Axiom Nexus idiot mad because of the rave?

Hell no.

Soundwave played a song for Judge Tyrest himself. The DJ pleads not guilty.

[askvectorprime]

A question I’ve had for a very long time; why is Xobitor considered its own cluster and not just part of Cymond?

Dear Cluster Concerned,

Many have asked that very question.

I remember back when the Cymond cluster was first discovered, following a Waruder infestation on Axiom Nexus, the Ministry for Higher Dimensional Sciences was in furious debate over the cluster and its ramifications. And to make matters worse, the Xobitor cluster seemed very much related to it. Many felt the Xobitor cluster should be folded into Cymond; others felt that due to the rules of primacy, all of the tentative Cymond streams should instead be cataloged as Xobitor, since it had first been categorized. Bots argued for cycles about quark flavors, quantum resonances, dimensional strings… It was, in short, exhausting.

The current Xobitor and Cymond Cluster designations are in some ways a compromise, as most things are when it comes to Universal Streams. Xobitor is distinguished by the existence of a Cybertron analogue named Skalorr—with Cymond streams, by contrast, being commonly recognised as having no direct analogues to Cybertron.

Well that's certainly a message to receive while he is laying in berth, checking his datapad, because he hasn't gone to work.

Unfortunately, Ratchet is in a less-than-ideal condition to actually take it seriously. It sounded like spam, and rather than ignoring it, he made a spitefully rash decision to respond:

[ I know multiple Optimi, Autobots, Decepticons, neutrals, and I'm currently ill. Arrest me. I'll sleep in interdimensional prison until I'm broken out by an army from that multi-verse you claim I shouldn't have been in. ]

[ Sincerely, Ratchet ]

[allsoundwavesarebeautiful]

Axiom Nexus is an under-utilized setting imo. it's literally a universe where every continuity is combined in a big no-war AU. there's bureaucracy. there's corruption. there's seedy underground (literally) criminal kingdoms. It's Illegal To Be Megatron. there are at least 3 Swindles living there. so much potential

[weaimtomaim]
