Bonded Masters are a subspecies of symbiotic Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

"These six people that you see, 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 introducing the Targetmasters

History[]

Although the modern binary bonding process was invented by Arcana and Brainstorm, historical records dating back to the Battle of Aegiax show similar partnerships have occurred throughout Cybertronian history. The Autobots and their Nebulan allies were the first to develop and implement Headmaster technology. However, it did not take long before the Hive-allied Decepticons reverse-engineered the technology to create the first Targetmasters.

Sometime later, Hi-Q created the first Powermasters, which could efficiently regulate the energy intake and metabolisms of their Cybertronian partners. Binary bonding technology quickly became commonplace, and many Cybertronians formed partnerships with beings from planets such as Earth, Nebulos, Gorlam Prime, and Dominus/Master.

Traditionally, the binary bonding process syncs a spark with an organic being's metabolic processes. However, some Cybertronians might choose to bond with a non-sapient mechanimal. Similarly, other enhanced organics have made use of non-sentient Transtector rigs.

Notes[]

  • The portrayals of many Bonded Masters vary across different media such as the Generation 1 cartoon, Marvel's Transformers comics, and various toys. For example, several Targetmaster-type Bonded Masters are presented in the Titans Return toyline as Headmaster-type Bonded Masters due to their traditional Targetmater partners being reinterpreted as Titan Masters.
