<div>:''Binary bonding is a kind of technology from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''<br />
<br />
'''Binary bonding''' is a process in which a Transformer enters into a symbiotic relationship with a smaller being (usually organic, often an [[Human|Earthling]] or a [[Nebulan]]) who has been augmented with the ability to transform into a component or weapon.<br />
<br />
{{bigquote|These six people that you see, [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]], are from the planet '''''[[Nebulos]]''''' and, like myself, are binary bonded to their respective Autobot partners--but in a different way. They become the Autobots' '''weapons'''!|[[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] introduces the [[Targetmaster]]s|[[The Desert Island of Space!]]}}<br />

==Fiction==<br />
===Generation 1===<br />
Binary bonding was the process by which the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]<ref name="bio">Toy [[bio]]s</ref><ref name="universe">[[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Marvel Comics profiles]]</ref>, [[Targetmaster]]s<ref name="universe" />, and [[Powermaster]]s<ref name="bio" /><ref name="universe" /> came into being.<br />
<br />
====Marvel Comics continuity====<br />
Targetmasters were binary bonded like Headmasters were, but different in that they became the Transformer's weapon. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}}<br />
<br />
{{note|The exact mechanics of binary bonding and its relationship to the various -masters is left a bit vague. Is not clear if the Headmasters' mental link between binary bonded partners due is due to binary bonding or to the Headmaster process specifically.}}<br />
<br />
====Cartoon continuity====<br />
The Headmasters' heads were modified with an interior control panel where their partner could sit and manually control the movements of the Transformer, if the Transformer allows it. Binary bonded Headmasters may "feel like they are part of each other", but otherwise communicate by speaking to each other normally. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
====''Classics''====<br />
[[Amory]] was binary bonded to [[Phyrion]]. {{storylink|Cheap Shots}}<br />
<br />
===Unicron Trilogy===<br />
[[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] was binary-bonded to his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Knock Out (Energon)|Knock Out]]. {{storylink|Force of Habit}} Knock Out formed the robot mode head and central torso.<br />
===Prime cartoon===<br />
[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] created some [[Starscream clone (Prime)|clones]] through the transference of binary bonding, so that when they got smashed, Starscream also felt the pain. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}<br />
