The Bond

The Bond is the source of all good within Lion and Bear transformers. It's supposedly a design of both Asiyo and Nisiyo, so that if a lion or a bear happened to come across their perfect match, they wouldn't pass up the opportunity, and both species would be better for it.

When The Bond happens, the two creatures affected are linked for life, and will become mates as soon as possible. It works off of the love and affection that already exists, but creates a sense of companionship, rather than supplying a new love. It's been known to happen between older male lions and younger female lions specifically because females mature much earlier, and males can spend their whole lives figuring out who they are. The same occurs in polar bears, and only a few cross-overs have every occurred, such as the bonding of Roger Shariah and Lacey Alwin.

Also, the Bond is most common in alpha pairings, creating a more united team and therefore a safer environment for the pride to grow up in. Scientists of both Lion and Bear origin claim that The Bond is a mechanism of evolution - with The Bond in place, a male will feel obligation to his young, and is more likely to defend them to the death - and religious lions and bears will claim that it is simply the working of the twin gods, who seek harmony in the world.
