Dead End:

Marvel Dead End: located in Polyhex(initially Decepticon-held)

Idw G1 Dead End: located in Rodion (where Orion Pax, who is from Iacon was working and held the position of captain when he found Drift, who is FROM RODION and where Ratchet's clinic is located)

Dead End: the guy (Decepticon) who joined Megatron in Kaon therefore we either assume he is from Kaon or that he was there for personal reasons.

Conclusion: the dead end is not in Iacon.

Jazz:

IDW JAZZ IS FROM STANIZ NOT POLYHEX

Marvel Jazz is not from Polyhex, but he was deep in Decepticon territories with the rest of his team in Yuss, which is in the STANIZ REGION specifically.

Aligned Jazz emerged from the well of All Sparks. Works in Iacon.

WHIRL IS FROM POLYHEX

Conclusion: Jazz is not from Polyhex.

Praxus:

BLUESTREAK IS FROM PRAXUS (toy bio/g1 marvel/idw 2005/eberything regarding him starts from this city literally it's been in his lore since the beginning)

Nightbeat(who's from Yuss in idw 2005) was working in Praxus and there he met Prowl (idw 2019)

Prowl IN IDW 2005 IS FROM PETREX

JAZZ IS NOT FROM PRAXUS EVER

Prowl in the aligned continuity WORKED IN PRAXUS (Bluestreak is however from Praxus probably since there he met Prowl and then died off-world in Archon)

EDIT: PROWL IS FROM PRAXUS ONLY IN THE DREAMWAVE CONTINUITY

Conclusion: PROWL IS NOT PRAXIAN(in every continuity but Dreamwave). He has worked there. BLUESTREAK IS FROM PRAXUS AND IS THEREFORE PRAXIAN(always). However, in the idw 2019 and Marvel comics and aligned continuity, it is never explicitly said where he's from. Prowl being fanonically Praxian is however stolen valor(except for dreamwave)(j)(fuck)

But I also vaguely remember that you could get that crystal look through a spa treatment?? anyway—

What I’m saying with this is, thinking about the crystal empire reminded me of praxus.

I have no idea how canon or fanon it is that praxus is related to crystals, or whether “crystal gardens” even exist in the transformers universe or is pure fanfiction.

But like… picture it. imagine a praxus where it’s completely normal for its residents and enforcers to have this crystalline finish that the ponies from crystal empire have, and mechs who visit the city can go to a special spa to get a temporary crystal coat too.

Another option is that the crystal finish is exclusive to the elite—only the mechs with a ton of shanix can afford it. but honestly I’m leaning more toward it being a natural trait of praxians, and if they don’t take care of it, it dulls and they end up looking like everyone else finish.

With the war, the praxians who survived obviously stopped caring about their appearance—there were more important things going on than polishing your armor.

When they get to earth, the war starts dying down, battles are rare, there’s a truce, peace talks… and it’s finally time to reconnect with their roots.

Smokescreen convinces Prowl and Bluestreak to have a spa day and get their crystal finish back. Blue, being so young when praxus fell, never actually learned how to take proper care of his armor, so Smoke and Prowl teach him everything.

The Praxian Brothers (Sparkling Version)

Bluestreak His horns are set a bit lower and have rounded tips. He has a very gentle, innocent-looking face.

Prowl For some reason, he looks angry, even as a sparkling.

Smokescreen Despite being a sparkling, he already has a mischievous, smirking expression on his face.

Aaaaand there's Barricade

He looks the most like Prowl out of everyone.

Although both of them would deny it with every fiber of their being, the physical similarity is undeniable.

He is pure evil! (Or at least, he likes to think he is.)

Barricade is currently orchestrating a high-stakes heist. His mission? To steal and eat the Energon cookie that Optimus Prime gave to Prowl! He’s currently lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

EVIL!

Sparkling Prowl is trying to eat a whole Energon ice cream by himself, while Smokescreen and Bluestreak try to stop him from eating it all!

This is how I pictured the Praxian trio's appearance while writing this story.

It's a story about Optimus finding three Praxian orphans and spending their first holiday together.

Barricade isn't in this chapter, but I'm planning to include him later on.

Inspired by the amazing AUs I’ve seen from @keferon, here’s one of my own!!!

Jazz is a Prince in the kingdom of Polyhex, a smaller kingdom on Cybertron, compared to the larger kingdoms like Iacon and Kaon. He prefers traveling as more of a Bard to being a prince, however.

Prowl is a cop, a detective, from the kingdom of Praxus. He’s tasked with finding a traitor to the crown of Polyhex- Praxus’ most recent alliance. All clues point to the only other surviving member of the Polyhexian royal family- Jazz.

This is…

Sacred Scales

(More below the cut.)

Prowl: ... That day when Praxus was bombed by the Decepticons and 90% of it's population wiped away... A part of me was wiped away too. Ironhide: Yeah I know. Prowl: No, you really don't... Ironhide: ...?

(Using terms carrier and sire class to make this more make sense lmao)

Sires would tend to done on more bright and colorful paints as well as additional aesthetic or functional kibbles, aesthetic appeal would be one of the attraction points for the carrier class

As for carriers, they would have bland color schemes or monochromatic, they would have color as they would like but not as flamboyant nor bright as the sire class.

Carriers are more reluctant in taking in a junxie, they have the standards which Sires would try to reach and surpass for their intended.

JazzProwl:

For the Praxus Police, They still use the standard black and white uniform and decals but they use kibbles for differentiation.

Sometimes he's a baddie. Sometimes he's more grey. Tho he tends to be a con more often than not.

Just saying he could be an interesting addition to the whole dynamic going on here with the praxians since all the other known living praxians are autobots (Prowl, smokescreen, bluestreak) so barricade being either a con or unaffiliated could be interesting. Especially if he has his own hang ups regarding praxus that come into conflict with the brothers more resigned attitude toward the whole thing.

Whether he's a con or unaffiliated would probably change exactly how he thinks about Praxus, but the point is he definitely thinks about it.

My own dark idea is that he actively wants to breed new praxians and tries very hard to encourage prowl, smokescreen, and bluestreak to, y'know, work with him a little here.

(the fact that he's twice smokescreens age doesn't occur to him as a hinderance and his failure to consider that turns Prowl against him pretty quickly.)

Yooooo
