They would do almost anything to get a copy of [[Transformers: The Art of Prime]] for a reasonable price, why is it so expensive????

[[Image:Brian_Ruckley_Portrait_Photo.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Stuff like that]]
'''Brian Ruckley''' is a [[Scotland|Scottish]] fantasy novelist based in Edinburgh. The author of ''The Godless World'' novel trilogy, Ruckley started working with [[IDW Publishing]] in 2013 for a reboot of ''Rogue Trooper'', and a couple years later he penned a ''Highlander'' comic. Ruckley joined the ''Transformers'' brand in 2019 to write the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|ongoing ''Transformers'' comic series]].

==Writer==
===IDW Publishing===
*''[[Transformers (2019 comic)|Transformers]]''
*''[[Transformers: Escape]]''

==Notes==
*Ruckley is a noted wildlife enthusiast, even hosting a nature podcast called ''[http://thewildepisode.com/ The Wild Episode]''. This has clearly influenced his work on ''Transformers''—his Cybertron features many more organic life forms than most previous incarnations of the metal planet.
*Apparently, the character he finds hardest to write is [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]—it is occasionally difficult to marry the character's voice and personality.<ref>Brian Ruckley at TFNation 2019</ref>

Conjunx Endura

2021-04-02T09:35:27Z

Zips: Updated article to reflect that Drift and Ratchet are confirmed Conjux Endura as of LL #25

[[File:TheGloaming-iloveyou.jpg|thumb|300px|Also, when are you going to take out the trash?]]
A '''Conjunx Endura''' is a [[Transformer]]'s significant other, an individual that they deeply [[Transformer romance|love]]. In [[human]] terms, Conjunx Endurae<ref>Official plural form used by Sentinel Prime in [[Last Light (issue)|''More than Meets the Eye'' #57]]; in ''real'' Latin, it would be "Conjuges."</ref> are the equivalent of spouses; for example, when the life of a Transformer is threatened to the point of unconsciousness, it falls upon their Conjunx Endura to make medical decisions on their behalf.<ref>"[[Before & After]]"</ref> Traditionally, a Transformer chooses a prospective partner through the ritual known as the '''Conjunx Ritus''': four acts of affection and mutual kindness which cement the bond between the two individuals.<ref>"[[The Lopsided Triangle]]"</ref> A bonded pair may be referred to as '''Junxies''' as an affectionate nickname.<ref>"[[Elegant Chaos Part 2: Stet]]"</ref>

Some Transformers think close relationships like these are embarrassing. Bluntly asking a stranger about their Conjunx is considered a bit gauche.<ref>"[[slaughterhouse]]"</ref>

{{bigquote|I've always been terrified that you'd die before I did, because you and me apart strikes me as intensely wrong.|Part of [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]]'s final message to [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|his Conjunx Endura]]|"[[The Gloaming]]"}}

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===

Back in [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime's]] day, the concept of Conjunx Endurae was known as "Sparkmates". {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}}

Few Transformers have more than one Conjunx Endura in their lifespan, and many don't even have one. [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] was an exception, having had at least four. This may be a unique case as every time one of his Conjunx Endurae died, Chromedome used his abilities as a [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] to remove all his memories of [[Scattergun]], [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Pivot]] in turn, making it as if they had never existed in order to spare himself the pain. Each time [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] objected and each time Chromedome appeared to agree to hold off, before performing the procedure the moment Brainstorm left the room. This had the side effect of leading Chromedome to believe he was "born dry," the only person in history born without [[innermost energon]]. In fact, he had taken part in the ceremony of leaving a vial of innermost energon next to a friend or loved one so often, he literally had nothing left to give. {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

When [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] died, {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}} Chromedome planned to remove the memory again, over Brainstorm's by-then ritualistic objections, but a final message from Rewind convinced him not to go through with it. {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

Before the war, [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] would needle [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] by saying his brother's friend [[Horri-Bull]] was his Conjunx. Needlenose denied it at the time, but millions of years later, he'd angrily tell Tracks that Horri-Bull was the only one he'd ever loved. It is unknown if Horri-Bull returned his feelings. {{storylink|The Transgressors}}

[[File:ChooseMe-engagement.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

Some Transformers on the thirteen colony worlds maintained the tradition. Two such planets are [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] {{storylink|slaughterhouse}} and [[Velocitron]]. [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]]'s Conjunx Endura is [[Breakdown (IDW)|Breakdown]], an atypically slow Velocitronian. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} The [[Torchbearer]]s [[Dust Up]] and [[Jumpstream]] are Conjunx Endurae. {{storylink|Ghost Stories}} [[Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] are portrayed in a romantic relationship (as usual), but it is unknown if the inhabitants of [[Eukaris]] would refer to this bond as a Conjunx Endura. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} The Camien [[Lightbright (G1)|Lightbright]] formed a bond of affection with the [[Firecon]] [[Sparkstalker]], leading the latter to ask her to become his Conjunx Endura, which she agreed to. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

[[Getaway]] described a preliminary set of rituals that would lead to becoming Conjunx Endurae, but as he was trying to manipulate Tailgate at the time, the validity of these rituals is dubious. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}}

[[Lug (IDW)|Lug]] noted that [[Anode]] had made [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] "collapse in front of his Conjunx Endura." Drift was with [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] at the time, but awoke in the arms of [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 2: Anomie}} {{storylink|Dissolution Part 2: Anomie}} Later in Lost Light, Drift is confirmed to be Ratchet’s Conjux Endura. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}} Lug and Anode themselves were later confirmed to be bonded through a "previously in" recap. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
The songwriter [[Feedback]] of the [[Rock Bot (G1)|Rock Bots]] had three sequential Conjunx Endura relationships since achieving interstellar stardom. His [[syk]]-addiction may have something to do with the rapid spousal turnover. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/28}} [[Vector Prime]] and [[Scorpia (TransTech)|Scorpia]] became Conjunx Endurae on their voyage to Nebulos. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2016/02/14}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
The [[Cyberdroid]]s [[Nucleon (Generations)|Nucleon]] and [[Kari]] were Conjunx Endurae. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}}

[[Bazooka (BWN)|Bazooka]] and [[Crazybolt (BWN)|Crazybolt]] had developed a close bond during their adventures on [[Metascan Omega]], leading acting-captain [[Magmatron]] to wonder if he would have to perform a Conjunx Ritus in the near future. {{storylink|Intersectionality}}

==Notes==
*[[James Roberts]] found that both IDW and Hasbro were "supportive and indeed encouraging" about having Chromedome and Rewind as an explicit couple.<ref>[http://www.fullmetalhero.com/t14540/ Moonbase2's second interview with James Roberts - 01:40:47 to 01:41:24]</ref>
*"Conjunx" is Latin for "spouse".
*An alternate term for essentially the same concept, "'''lifebond partner'''", was given with the [[Cyber Key Codes]]-unlocked bonus content for ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]].

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese'': '''Conjunx Endura''' (コンジャンクス・エンデュラ ''Konjankusu Endyura'')
