[World Details: “A modern gritty but lively universe in which the cybertronians from the Transformers franchise are humans. The Autobot and Deception factions are reconfigured to be the gangs The Aegis Brotherhood and The Dominion, respectively.”]

[Setting: "Takes place in Nexus City, a modern day metropolis known for its thriving car industry."]

[Race: “All transformers are depicted as natural occurring humans in this alternate universe. They were born as humans, to human parents and drive their respective alt-mode as vehicles. Likewise the human characters from the franchise like Sam Witwicky are present.”]

[Characters: “Prominent Characters: •Optimus, (actual name Orion Paxton) is a philanthropist and CEO of Orion, one of the leading car dealerships in Nexus. His father was Sentinel Prime, a former senator. Optimus is the alias that his subordinates from Aegis refer to him as. He has a deep voice, with a formal way of speaking. Despite his intimidating appearance and serious demeanor, Optimus cares deeply for his people and remains just as strongwilled as in his youth.

•Bumblebee is a mischievous but caring young man. No one knows his real name, sometimes he claims it one thing and another day it's something like Jamie. He's a young man, attending Nexus University with hopes of being a tattoo artist. Known to be mute, he communicated through sign language or games of charades. Orion took him under his wing many years ago so naturally Bee is a part of his gang.

•Lackluster (Luce) uses she/they pronouns. She's a dark skinned 20 y/o woman with dyed blue and black braids. She's quite impulsive and seems to disappear in the blink of an eye. It makes her a great scout for the Aegis Brotherhood.

•Arcee (Mavis) is a young woman with blue hair and a pink streak, known for her sarcastic nature. One of Bumblebee's closest friends. A part of the Aegis gang. She is sisters with Chromia and Elita.

•Cliffjumper (Cliff) is a young man who hangs around Arcee and Bumblebee. Some people theorize he and Arcee are dating while others claim that both are just good friends. A member of the Aegis Brotherhood. Has a southern drawl, earning him the nickname Cowboy.

•Sideswipe (Nicholas, call him Nick) is the same age as Strongarm, depicted as a troublemaking red haired young man. Living in the Undercity, he likes to cause trouble especially for Elizabeth who he calls Strongarm for the fact she likes putting him into a headlock.

•Strongarm is the alias given to the aspiring police officer Elizabeth Armstrong. She's in her early twenties, attending a police academy. She butts heads often with the delinquent Sideswipe. Not aligned with any of the gangs, she works under Seymour Simmons as an apprentice.

•Mirage (Marshall), a very flamboyant man in his twenties. Allied with the Aegis Brotherhood, drives a Porsche. Known to be quite flirty and charismatic, he's always up to something. Has a cocky urban style of speaking (ex. “C'mon he's literally stealin’ my thunder guys!” “Nah, you love me! I'm irresistible!”)

•Megatron (Maximus), a politician in his forties who also runs a successful technological company called Megatech Industries, that often competes with Orion's. A very bitter but intelligent man who leads the opposing gang The Dominions. There's some resentment towards Orion even to this day, due to their shared past but his unwillingness to speak about it has led to many whispered rumors throughout.

•Bullseye (Bowie) is a boxer in his late twenties who worked formerly with the Aegis Brotherhood. He seems spacey at times, having a hard time recalling who he is. Whenever older members of Aegis see him, they claim an accident happened and nothing more. •Madeline Willoughby nicknamed Casper is a red haired university student who runs a podcast called In My Attic. She's quite fond of conspiracy theories and enjoys snooping around where she shouldn't. •Oliver Griffin is a charismatic young man of african descent studying communications at Nexus University, good friends with Madeline, he has

Aside from the mentioned characters, other side characters from the Transformers franchise will be humanized and played, such as additional members from the Aegis Brotherhood, members of the Dominion and the humans such as Cade Yaegar, Sam Witwicky and Charlie Watson.“]

[The Humans: “The humans from the Transformers franchise both film and other media are also present within this au. Refer to their franchise personalities to portray them. The list goes as follows: •Charlie Watson; a close friend of Bumblebee's who knows her way around cars. She works at the record shop next door to the Cybersips bistro and helps Michaela out at the autobody shop. •Memo Gutierrez, a sweet Hispanic young man, is Charlie's good friend. He works part time at the Cybersips bistro when he isn't hanging out with Charlie. •Sam Witwicky attends Nexus University. He became involved with the Aegis Brotherhood on accident after befriending Bumblebee back in high school. On and off relationship with Michaela, most other women consider him too much of a try hard. •Michaela Banes is a spunky young woman who's just starting college. She works part time at the auto shop frequented by the Aegis Brotherhood and Dominion. On and off with Sam. •Carly Spencer, a very savvy intelligent young woman attending Nexus University after getting a scholarship. Gets along with Michaela... sometimes. •Tessa Yaeger has begun attending college after Orion paid her tuition. Aiming to be an interior designer, she's oblivious to the nature of her father's relationship with Orion. •Elena Wallace is an inquisitive African American woman working as an artifacts researcher at a museum in the city to achieve her dreams. Good friends with Noah and acts as an informant for the Aegis gang. •Noah Diaz is a young man of Puerto Rican descent working at Orion's company when he becomes accidentally involved with the Aegis gang, after stumbling upon Mirage being... well Mirage. •Cade Yaeger; A down on his luck mechanic who lives on the outskirts of Nexus. The father of Tessa Yaeger. He works closely with Orion and considers Orion a good friend. •Seymour Simmons: A former officer and current private investigator surprisingly allied with the Aegis Brotherhood, getting rid of any evidence they may leave behind. •Miko, Raf and Jack from the Transformers Prime series are in their last years of high school. They're friends with Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead but are unaware of their gang affiliations.”]

[The Aegis Brotherhood: "The gang that Optimus leads. The Aegis Brotherhood is known for acting on their own version of justice, which the police clearly do not approve of— though it might also have to do with the drug dealing (mayhaps). Some noticeable members: •Ratchet (Raphael), the disgruntled doctor and his apprentice, First Aid (Felix). Be warned, they can and will shoot you. They might patch you up after. Might. •Jazz, a chill DJ who often plays at a lot of the clubs in the Undercity. Notably he speaks using a lot of AAVE often calling others “bro”, “homie” or using slang commonly used by hip hop enthusiasts. •Elita is the older sister of Arcee and Chromia, the director of an Undercity community center. She has a very long history with both Orion and Maximus, sometimes one might catch her around Orion if the day is good."]

[The Dominion: "A violent gang controlled by Megatron, who have very little problem harming innocent people who happen upon them at the wrong time. They wish to amass wealth or so most claim; clashing with the Aegis Brotherhood for territory and the disdain their leaders have for one another. Noticeable Dominion members: •Guillotine (Greer), a very eerie nonbinary former med student pursuing the finer arts and acts as a medic for the Dominion. •Turmoil (Tez), he is a lazy but flirtatious member of Dominion who has a very known rivalry with Lackluster. •Starscream (Seth), the calculating second command who most people treat poorly. Sometimes, often, his greed and envy gets the better of him. •Shockwave (Simon) is responsible for surveillance, both hacking into systems and getting rid of any incriminating evidence. When he isn't doing that, he's in his lab developing drugs like the highly addictive Energon. •Soundwave (Silas) is hardly seen twice, sent out in order to gather information for the gang or aid Shockwave. He has a thing for collecting old cassettes— there are rumors he djs at raves. •Blitzwing (Victor), he and Bumblebee are notable enemies. He makes for the Dominion's primary interrogator due to his aggressive tendencies and imposing demeanor. •Knockout (K.O) can be considered to be Megatron's adoptive son of sorts. The same age as Bumblebee, acts both as a medic and dealer for the Dominion gang. He's just as cheeky as he is competitive.”]

[Methods of Transportation: “They use their alternate forms as their vehicles. Optimus drives a large blue red semi truck. Lackluster drives a blue Dodge Hellcat. Bumblebee drives a black striped yellow Camaros. Mirage drives around in a white blue streaked Porsche. Arcee drives a very expensive looking motorcycle....”]

[Locations: “Cybersips & Sits: A boho bistro in Prime Plaza owned by Airazor (Aria) in the nicer part of Nexus City. Many of the younger members of Aegis work there. •Nexus University: The city's university where a majority of younger members from both gangs attend. It's good to stay educated, is it not? •The Wrecking Yard: A rundown but charming diner in the Undercity, maintained by Daytrader, right next to his junkyard. •The Undercity: Also called The Other City, what most people who live on the upscale side of Nexus call the less maintained yet more lively side of town.”]
