Packing some non canon lore I share with @dunaln2 / @dunaldoodles and @illudens!
So, the Family Tree is like this:
The known factions are your typical Decepticon and Autobot, which I'm sure they still exist, despite Megatron leaving behind the Decepticons to form the Destrons, who share Autobot beliefs, but will do anything to achieve that goal. It's basically Autobots with a fresh coat of paint and run by Megatron.
Other factions include: The Crystalix(which is more of a species than a faction...) To which there are only two known members, four if you count Obscura's kids. And then there's the "Hell Hound," a project conducted by MECH(they will have their own post), and as seen, Cerberus us the only member, hinting at something horrible.
History of Megatron suggests that his most loyal follower, Shockwave, and he had a special connection. They were each others firsts in many things. Shockwave's loyalty hasn't dampened, as when Megatron founded the Destrons, Shockwave and his then Conjux, Blurr, eagerly joined the faction, abandoning their roles as Decepticon Spy and Autobot Elite Agent. They all work toward a same goal: Peace across the Universe. Even if some might not agree, such as the Decepticon Supremists, who still follow Decepticon ideals, even if they don't follow Megatron anymore.
Blurr and Shockwave go on to have four sparklings, two of which were also helped made by Megatron, the only other bot Shockwave trusts with his family.
Wavelength is the eldest, taking after most qualities from Blurr and Shockwave. (Art below is Dunal's work. Go follow them!)
Recourse was born second, and despite being carried by Shockwave(simply because it would've been far too big to have been born from Blurr), Reco calls Shockwave "sire" and Blurr its "Carrier." Just goes to show that a maternal bond is present, even if Blurr didn't carry the big beastie. (Art below is also Dunal's.)
Auspice is the third born. She takes after Shockwave's first disguise as "Longarm Prime." Unlike her older siblings, Auspice carries no CNA from Megatron. (Once again, the art is Dunal's.)
And then there was Haven, the last ShockBlurr Sparkling, he takes after Shockwave's second disguise as "Cogwrench." Conjuxed to Obscura(the second Crystalix in existence), Haven is a nerd. He bullshits his way in and out of situations, often leading to chaos. Poor Haven was also bullied often by Wavelength during their younger years. Haven also has a particular interest in dangerous codes... (Art by Dunal, agan.)
With the ShockBlurr part out of the way, the second post will be about Aurelius/Diamante and Wrathwhip's family.
