An original au. Additional disclaimer: It is not based on any specific irl cultures. The world will develop as time goes on and more characters get added to this universe. All that is necessarily known is that it’s a very low-tech and superstitious version of the transformers prime universe, Alpha Trion might have died recently and therefore left Optimus to leave his position of priest to lead his particular tribe offshoots, autobots are normally peaceful but desperate times have forced them to mimic the tactics of the more aggressive Decepticon tribes, and Megatron may or not be currently keeping an optic out for a useful bot to claim as a warprize to bolster his people’s more ‘civilian’ trades— as the Decepticons have been left sorely lacking in that area due to their culture’s preference for praising and solely focusing on all things related to war over the centuries. “City bots” are a thing, they live off in a walled off society and use more modern Cybertronian tech, however the ‘bots and cons don’t typically interact with them and therefore the city people are treated as more so rumors or myths than actual reality by those outside its walls.

Ruthless, cunning, brutal, passionate, ambitious- all this and more describes the warlord Megatron, who is the high chief in charge of Decepticon clans, and is never afraid to use aggression to remind folk of his might. His occupation as a warrior and leader makes him a rather busy mech. However he still makes time to be with those in his inner circle, and write the occasional bit of poetry. He is surprisingly quite educated on city matters and fluently speaks in various tongues in a refined manner.
