A Conjunx Endura is a Transformer's significant other, an individual that they deeply love. In human terms, Conjunx Endurae 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.
Some Transformers think close relationships like these are embarrassing.

Few Transformers have more than one Conjunx Endura in their lifespan, and many don't even have one. Chromedome was an exception, having at least four. This may be a unique case as every time one of his Conjunx Endura's died, Chromedome used his abilities as a mnemosurgeon to erase his memory, making it as if they had never existed in order to spare himself the pain. Each time, Brainstorm objected and each time Chromedome agreed, 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. The Gloaming. When Rewind died Under Cold Blue Stars, Chromedome planned to remove the memory again, over Brainstorm's by-now ritualistic objections, but a final message from Rewind convinced him not to go through with itThe Gloaming.
