:''Binary bonding is a kind of technology from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

'''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.

{{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!]]}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
Binary bonding was the process by which the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]<ref name="bio">Toy [[bio]]s</ref><ref name="universe">[[The Transformers Universe|Marvel Comics profiles]]</ref>, [[Targetmaster]]s<ref name="universe" />, and [[Powermaster]]s<ref name="bio" /><ref name="universe" /> came into being.

====Marvel Comics continuity====
Targetmasters were binary bonded like Headmasters were, but different in that they became the Transformer's weapon. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}}

{{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.}}

====Cartoon continuity====
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}}

====''Classics''====
[[Amory]] was binary bonded to [[Phyrion]]. {{storylink|Cheap Shots}}

===Unicron Trilogy===
[[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.
===Prime cartoon===
[[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}}

'''Hugo Weaving''' (born [[April 4]], [[1960]]) is an [[Australia]]n actor, perhaps best known for his roles as Agent Smith in ''The Matrix'' and as Elrond in ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Hobbit'' trilogies of films. He gained his first experience as a voice actor in the ''Babe'' films, where he played Rex the sheepdog, the titular hero's foster father. He also played V in ''V for Vendetta'' and portrayed the Red Skull in ''[[Captain America]]: The First Avenger''.

In [[Sector Seven (game)|one universe]], he's really an undercover agent working for [[Sector Seven]], trying to hide the [[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial|N.B.E.s]] from the public and covering it up by acting in fictional movies, like that thing with the jewellery or the internet that plugs into your brain. This is all, of course, to keep you from seeing the [[Transformers (film)|historical documentary]]. Or make you see it. Either way works.

Sector Seven agent H. Weaving convinced [[Steven Spielberg|S.S.]], [[Michael Bay|M.B.]], [[Roberto Orci|R.O.]], and [[Alex Kurtzman|A.K.]] to put him in charge of the "[[Megatron (Movie)|Megaman]] issue." {{storylink|Sector Seven|Sector Seven ARG}}

{{note|In the Sector Seven ARG (Alternate Reality Game), [[Transformers (film)]] and all related fiction, materials, and promotional materials are actually a [[Hungry Dragon|counter-information campaign]] designed to discredit leaks and cover up the existence of N.B.E.s by presenting the facts about them as fictional events. It is suggested that [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] was a similar campaign.}}

==Notes==
*In a television interview on June 13th, 2007 in Australia on the Ten Network's news hour, director [[Michael Bay]] stated that Weaving had recorded his lines as Megatron in Australia while Bay directed him from the U.S. using Apple ''iChat'', and thus, he had never actually met the actor.
*In a November 2008 interview for the Sun Herald, Weaving revealed he had accepted the role of Megatron after a personal request by Bay, and he had in fact never seen ''Transformers''. He's still awesome though.{{fact}}
*During his revelation of his return to ''Transformers'' in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' on March 4, 2009, Weaving stated that he had already recorded his dialogue, once again with Bay in [[Los Angeles]] while he was in Australia. He said that during recording he had a strange conversation where Bay implied that what they were doing was supposed to be a big secret. <ref name="hugoweaving">[http://blogs.news.com.au/adelaidenow/turkeyshoot/index.php/adelaidenow/comments/weaving_confirms_megatrons_return_in_transformers_revenge_of_the_fallen AdelaideNow blog report on Weaving's return to ''Transformers''.]</ref>
*He wasn't aware until told during an interview that there was a [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third movie]] in the making. [http://www.superherohype.com/news/transformersnews.php?id=9078]
