@TaliaIGhul 5 лет назад

The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is basically a complex and compact massive data storage unit that holds the personalities of past Autobot leaders who were downloaded into moments before death and the current Matrix holder can access their combine knowledge when the leader needs great wisdom to win whatever the current conflict is. It's also essentially a doomsday weapon for the Autobots as a last resort (light our darkest hour) measure as was when they used it to destroy Unicron and cure the Hate Plague. And as seen in Transformers The Movie when Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime, it also has limited reformatting abilities. Depending on how heavily it's used, it needs recharging from millions of years to almost immediately (ie. when they drained it during the Hate Plague incident). Some Cybertronians considers it a myth. Autobots considers it their answer to Excalibur while the Deceptions considers it to be a cursed object since it could bring about their doom. A mystical slayer of world eaters and curer of plagues. That's my theory on the Matrix.

@michaelnemeth5242 5 лет назад

Damn good theory

@freakctc 4 года назад

There's only one thing I disagree with - The Decepticons have no reason to fear the Matrix. It's not meant to bring about their doom. It was made to be used by Cybertronians. In fact, a Decepticon could wield and house the matrix, as long as they weren't corrupted by Unicron.

@freakctc 4 года назад

@manofsteel33 G1 Scourge was altered/created by Unicron. That was the reason it had the effect it did, not because he was a Decepticon. It would be the equivalent of a person who sold their soul to the Devil trying to touch Holy Water. The Decepticons physically are no different than Autobots. Any Decepticon would be just as able to handle the Matrix as Ultra Magnus did.

@dmangelsm1188 4 года назад

Mine is similar: My theory is that the matrix was originally a backup drive for the spark/personality component of some ancient leader. It was one of several artifacts, & would basically grant immortality. Somewhere along the way that was forgotten (or was kept secret to all but a few) & it got passed down to new leaders. It does store accumulated wisdom, but as a by-product. This explains how OP kept coming back & why he was a virtual zombie until the matrix went back in him. It also explains why Alpha Trion was inside the matrix, but in a different color scheme. He must have installed it at an earlier time (when he used a dif color scheme) & then stepped down, passing it to Optimus.

@dmangelsm1188 4 года назад

manofsteel33 I think the reason Ultra Magnus couldn't access the matrix is that it had already bonded with the next robot that came in contact with it: Hot Rod, when he caught it.

"Each Prime carried with him not only a Spark, but also a life giving power source called the Matrix, undiluted essence of Primus himself. The Matrix could be utilized not only imbue new creations with Sparks, but also to repair and reinvigorate those critically injured on the battlefield.It´s Power will be used at the discretion of the Prime. The Matrix also serves as a window to the past... or future." Transformers The Ultimate guide. This piece gives us a lot of information about the Matrix. We may say the Matrix is an Artifact which not even the Prime who holds it knows it´s full power. That is why a certian times the weilder didn´t know how or when to use it There it´s lso said in the Ultimate guide, the Matix is a piece of the Spark of Primus. So we can tell it´s still a sacred Powerful artifact for the transformers. As usual a great Video my Friend. Intresing fact, how in Beast Wars a mistake was made, and then they had to correct it.

@KrawmKruach 6 лет назад

In beast wars rinox warns primal about primes spark saying " his spark CONTAINS the matrix it too powerful" meaning they knew he carried the matrix of leadership and that it was fused with optimus primes spark. It was both the power of primes spark and the matrix of leadership that transformed primal into optimal optimus.

@hypermax1978 6 лет назад

Actually, I remember Rhynox saying that Optimus Prime's spark was contained within the Matrix of Leadership.

@KrawmKruach 6 лет назад

His exact words where "his spark contains the matrix its too powerful" so what we see in beast wars in the matrix of leadership and it was the combined power of primes spark, the matrix, and primals transmetal body that allowed him to not just survive the transfer but what forced his body to transform to handle the sheer power it now contained.

@Soulrender95 6 лет назад

Personally for G1, I think Optimus originally never took the matrix with him to earth he took the retrofit spark holder as a decoy incase a decepticon knew what it was (or thought it was the matrix, giving him a backdoor to return if destroyed), because when escaping Cybertron he had no idea when or if he would return and suspected that the decepticons would attack the ark and decided that taking the matrix with him was too risky as it was likely the decepticons would destroy him outright and with autobots left on Cybertron there would at least be the chance for another Prime should his mission fail. His matrix style spark holder is then irreparably damaged in "divide and conquer" so when he is cloned in "a prime problem", it isn't there so he doesn't have an easy way to prove his identity. Then at some point after that and prior to the movie, he retrieved the real matrix and Ratchet First Aid and Sparkplug repaired his chest properly as human technological advancements made it easier to replicate Cybertronian components, though some parts still needed to be manufactured else where like Metroplexs transforming cog (either due to materials needed for construction or to stop centralisation to prevent decepticons disruption of a supply chain)

@slicerneons3300 6 лет назад

My theory is that Prime's spark had merged with the matrix as all previous welders, giving the current bearer across to their knowledge, wisdom, experiences, etc. That would retcon beast wars in another way different from Primeval Dawn. Also why Optimus could be controlled by the Quintessons in Dark Awakening since he was a soulless puppet like Age of Extinction Galvatron. That theory would require unnerving for events like Rodimus giving it back, I realize. A great compilation video, always fun learning about the Japanese shows. I also sigh in exasperation about Prime Wars trilogy. A stain on the franchise, animation, and story telling.

@MayanPudding 4 года назад

the beast wars one is just an error or a unique take on the matrix. when they are talking about moving it, rhinox first says "we'll never make it, his spark is already joining the matrix" but then tells primal "His spark has the matrix with it, it's too powerful" . so it sounds like it's both separate and a part of the matrix at the same time. like his spark "holds" the matrix while he lives, but then when he dies, it gets absorbed by it. that's how i interpreted it when i first watched it.

@samuelmeyer1024 6 лет назад

My original head-canon prior to my discovery of "Primeval Dawn" was that Orion Pax inherited The Matrix upon his conversion to Optimus, Carried it throughout most of The Great War, And left it on Cybertron (Possibly safeguarded by Alpha Trion and/or The female Autobots) prior to the Ark launch as a precaution in any event Prime would be missing. At an undisclosed time between 1985 and 2005, The Matrix was recovered from Cybertron. This was my hypothesis for The Matrix being absent from Prime's person between The Ark Launch and the year 2005.

@TheMichaelStott 6 лет назад

So each Transformer has their own spark which gives them life. A leader holds the Matrix which is, more or less, a Super USB that has an auto save function that accumulates all of experience and knowledge gained until it's time to pass it on to another. When transferred to a new leader, the Matrix also has an upgrade feature that enhances the new leader in order for that Transformer to be able to utilise that knowledge and experience in a practical way instantly.

@texasbeast239 5 лет назад

I have a theory that the Cybertronian Creation Matrix was possibly intended for all Transformers, but over time the Autobot faction began to hog it until they achieved a monopoly. It could serve as a major motivator for Decepticon angst and animosity, as well as a source of guilt for Optimus.

The death of Optimus Prime and some G1 Transformers. 3. Weren't there 5 Dinobots?Why is it that only 4 were shown in the movie? 4. There are so many mechanized animals wherever the transformers go such as robotic octopus and sharks. 5. The Quintessons (who were the creators of the Transformers) doesn't seem to realize that Hot Rod and Kupp are Transformers considering that they have Autobot insignia. 6. How did the Decepticons were always able to reach the Autobot ships that they were planning to ambush despite the long,light years of gap between them?

Dont forget that in beastwars that rinox warns primal against trying to contain primes spark in his body by saying " his spark contains the matrix its too powerful". Not sure how anyone can say it wasn't the matrix at that point.

@TheStainlessSteelCat42 6 лет назад

You missed the weird G1 S3 episode where grim lock stops the 'creater' of unicron from destroying all life, and the matrix shows up claiming to be his old lab assistant. Though this is probably for the best. ;)

@RodimusPrimal 6 лет назад

I didn't miss Call of the Primitives, I left that for another discussion.

@TheStainlessSteelCat42 6 лет назад

I know. This video was great, I'm not criticizing. As I'm sure you know Call of the Primitives is a very weird episode, and quite hard to resolve with the law, both in the G1 cartoon continuity and the expanded G1 continuity. Best watched when high on sugar as I did when I was a kid. It attempts to create an origin story for both the Matrix and Unicron but ended up creating more plot holes than it fills. My personal way of explaining it is as follows: Primus and Unicron are extra dimensional beings descended from 'The One'. They fight and Primus ended up wounded in our universe. Slowly matter collected around him to create the planet Cybertron, and as life evolved on him naturally he reached out and communicated with it, via the matrix and the creation of Vector Sigma. At some point the Qunitisons arrived and enslaved all life on Cybertron turning the indigenous peoples into slaves which they mass produced. At some point before this Primus communicated and worked with the scientist Primacron, however in their collaboration Unicron saw a method in which he could reach our universe and finally destroy his ancient enemy. He reached out to Primacron and mentally corrupted him, convincing him to make a physical form for Unicron to inhabit. Primus was unable to stop this and so Unicron's body was created which eventually grew to be the planet eating planet we know and love. After the events of Transformers the Movie, Unicron lay defeated stuck in the damaged head of his body orbiting his ancient enemy. He again reached out to Primacron to create another form for himself. This time of pure energy. (Tornedron). However Primus was able to engineer events to stop this. Allowing Grimlock to stop him. Note: This is just my own fan theory. It doens't really have any true basis in the law, however I think it makes things fit together in a cool way.... Love your videos, forgive my trolling.

@chasingembers6167 6 лет назад

The Stainless Steel Cat In that episode, Primus wasn't entered into canon yet. The inventor Primacron invented Unicron and his successor. The primitives came together and defeated this successor. It was also revealed in season three that the Quintessons were the creators of Cybertron and it's inhabitants. The notion of Primus and Unicron being deities came much later.

@lordstopmotionstudios5626 5 лет назад

What if Primacons assistant is Primus. (Not an original theory, saw it in a video)

@Threeleggedyoyo 5 лет назад

Some alternate thoughts about the Beast Wars Matrix thing... Rodimus had to be incapacitated to use the Matrix to enter the afterlife. Maybe since Optimus was in a (very long) coma during the events of Beast Wars, his spark was actually in there at the time. This explanation admittedly works a little better for G1 since it never necessarily showed a spark as a physical object, whereas in Beast Wars we do see this, or at least spark chambers. Still, it's something that's made of energy, so I don't see why it can't move around in a body. It fits with the spiritual underpinnings of the idea pretty well. A spark is more or less the transformer equivalent of the human idea of a soul -- that there is some energy or essence of a person that animates a physical body, but isn't the body in itself. The Dreamwave guidbook described sparks as being spread through a transformer's body in this way. If that was the case (at least for G1 transformers) it's plausible that the spark of an Autobot leader would rest in the Matrix (or be accessible through it at least) while incapacitated. It's also possible that an Autobot leader's spark would animate the Matrix in some way while he holds it as a part of him -- at the very least we know that the Matrix contained a measure of the essense of Rodimus (he was Hot Rod without it). Maybe whatever part of the Matrix that had a similar (if invisible) effect on Prime. The point here is that there's a sense that the leader is "one" with the Matrix in some way, arguably a part of his body, so once again Prime's life force could reasonably be a part of it. When I think about that the episode doesn't strike me as an animation error so much as something that could have been worded better.

@RodimusPrimal 6 лет назад

What Rhinox states there isn't actually true. The show runners confirmed that later on and had the Botcon comic to confirm it.

@KalendorStorm 6 лет назад

However his spark containing the matrix would explain how he was able to be returned to life, since Rodimus was basically hosting his spark the whole time, like Primal did while they repaired his head. The zombie version was a sparkless Prime, and the reason he acted like he did was because his spark was trying to reconnect with his body and override what the Quintessons did.

@RodimusPrimal 6 лет назад

Jason Gager that wouldnt explain how emptying the Matrix didn't kill Prime when he used up its energy to cure the Hate Plague. The fact remains that it is his spark holder that is shaped like the Matrix as a decoy.

@mwg500 6 лет назад

You overlooked the fact that Primacron's "assistant" in "Call of the Primitives" seemed to look exactly like the Matrix of Leadership. As for where the matrix actually was during season 1/2 of the show, I believe it was stored somewhere besides within Optimus (maybe somewhere on Cybertron, in Alpha Trion's possession). Optimus didn't require it to become what he was, since his updated form was a result of A3 fixing him (maybe guided by the matrix however).

@samuelmeasa9283 5 лет назад

So I was playing around with my Titan return figures this week when I was reminded of the episode, City of Steel. For those who don't remember this one its where Megatron takes over New York and starts to turn it into New Cybertron. Part of the episode Prime is caught in Central park with a pit trap, then Megatron orders the autobots to retreat or he'd melt Prime down for scrap. Later megatron does have Prime dismantled. His head is left on a shelf as is his feet. His right arm and gun are placed on the outside of the Empire state building as a defensive turret. And the rest of him is turned into a giant robot alligator. which is given a basic vehicon brain and turned loose in the sewers. This got me wondering. How could the Constructicons miss the matrix chamber when they used primes body for the Gatorcon.

In beast wars, when optimus prime was dying and primal was attempting to save his spark rinox can be heard saying "his spark contains the matrix it's too powerful" indicating that what primal was pulling out of primes chest was in fact the matrix of leadership not a spark containment vessel. As a fan of the G1 series and beast wars it is not confusing at all. Primals body was transformed by both the power of optimus primes spark and the matrix of leadership.

The show runners admitted that this was their mistake though and Rhinox misspoke. That's why they retconned it with it being his spark holder.

With the beast wars, I always assumed it was OP's sparks starting to become one with the Matrix, given he was exactly dead his spark and the Matrix were in a kind of in between state.

Great video as always. In the Rebirth, did Optimus Prime ever reclaim the Matrix from Vector Sigma or was it still in there when Cybertron was reenergized by the excess solar energy?

@CHASEMARC 4 года назад

i like to think the Beast Wars episode showed us that the Matrix and Primes Spark was one as soon as he was given the matrix, his life force merged with it, it would explain how Rodimus Prime saw Optimus inside the matrix. as for how Optimus would have came back to life before taking back the matrix from Rodimus Prime, maybe the Quits pulled his spark from the matrix (the heaven matrix, not the object matrix) since he was "dead"

@onetrackmind3558 3 года назад

I think it's simple. It's like how it was in Bayformers. Optimus has a spark but when he was given the Matrix his spark joined with it and with it still in his body he lives.

@lordfrostnchilled9601 5 лет назад

I personally think the whole Spark Casing idea is a perfect way to hide the real Matrix of Leadership from the likes of the Decepticons. Great video! And still, I must say... *TILL ALL ARE ONE!!!*

@goldenrootsnet 5 лет назад

Optimus Primes entire memory was around 1.44MB? 😳 Maybe unzipped something like 3MB? Maybe more if there is lots of empty characters 😂 Windows 3.1 came on 6 floppy disks and Windows 95 came on 30 floppy disks, but prime only needed one! Imagine if there was a bad sector on the disk 😱

@handle_des_nuts Год назад

I like the idea that optimus primes spark being one with the matrix in beast wars,it makes sense to me because if you think about it a prime gets a power boost when they have the matrix and that would come at a prise were there spark becomes on with the matrixs allowing them to get more power, and it could also mean that a prime cannot pass down the matrix when there still alive which I think would be a cool idea

I see NO PROBLEM with Prime having the Matrix in Bast Wars and not having it seasons 1 and 2 of G1.I remember a guy on Siebertron who claimed that autobots had no sparks becuase it wasn't in G1

@simplysteve68 6 лет назад

Dan Wynne it spelled as "Cybertron", not "Siebertron"

@FlamesofJagger 6 лет назад

Steve Pelt He was referring to the website Siebertron.com, one of the many Transformers community fan sites

@RodimusPrimal 6 лет назад

The fan website, Seibertron.com was named because in Japan, the Autobots are called Cybertrons, the Decepticons are called Destrons, and they come from the planet Seibertron (pronounced Say-ber-tron). It is, like FlamesofJagger said, one of several Transformers fan sites.

@endman105 5 лет назад

This would also explain why rodimus seemed to keep losing the matrix, he didn't have a fake cover to hide it

@watcherzero5256 6 лет назад

A Matrix isn't a physical object, its a pattern if that helps you. You could argue the Matrix of Leadership seen in the movie was just a vessel for the Matrix, the energy pattern containing the information.

Even rinox says this " his spark contains the matrix its too powerful" which to me fits into the lore for the matrix perfectly. The new leaders spark fuses with the matrix so their wisdom cannot be lost when they die.

@jase7474 6 лет назад

One thing can always be said about Galvatron Temper Temper lol. Always thought it interesting as to how the Transformers are granted life in each part of the media with the Creation Matrix, Vector Sigma, Allspark, and the Well of Allsparks. Then just having the matrix as a wisdom container passed from leader to leader in the cartoon. I truly think they shouldn't try to align everything together and keep each mythos with each media separate. I don't know I don't bye the reasoning that it wasn't the Matrix in Beast Wars. I think maybe since when a leader dies and he becomes one with the Matrix they could of done it as even though Prime was de-active on the ark maybe his spark became one with the Matrix. It would make sense since we don't know how long the ark had been there before it was found. So if enough time elapsed with Optimus being off line, when they found the ark, maybe a precaution kicked having his spark merge with the Matrix to make sure it is preserved until the day they were brought back online by Teletraan 1. I think that would better explain and give a good reason why Primes spark came out of the Matrix. But hey that's just a theory a Transformer's Theory.

@FlamesofJagger 6 лет назад

Jase Doe according to dreamwave comics, Optimus had been the bearer of the matrix long enough that he wouldn't revert to Orion Pax/Optronix like Rodimus did in the G1 cartoon by the events of Beast Wars. We don't know how long he had been Prime in the cartoon before we met him in the first episode and that another 4 million years would go by while he was in stasis on the Ark in the series that used the Ark origin

@jase7474 6 лет назад

I will have to read up on some of the comics sometime since I have only read the original Marvel run. Still I can't buy them trying to correct their mistake in Beast Wars by saying that was his Spark casing and the real Matrix was underneath smaller or not. To ad to my previous comment maybe there would be no period of time to it and it is just one of the things the Matrix does. Once the bearer goes into stasis their Spark becomes one with the Matrix to protect their Spark from likes what happened in Beast Wars with Megatron blowing Prime's head up. Then Primal not knowing anything about this did what he thought he had to do to save his ancestor by opening up Optimus' chest grabbing the Matrix and syphoning the Spark out of it when he became Optimal Optimus. I just think this would somewhat explain it better than just saying it is just a casing for the spark and maybe ad a little bit of another layer between the relationship of the Matrix and the Bearer. Then of course in the movie he still dies since he is out of stasis and his Spark would be separate again from the Matrix during that time.

@jase7474 6 лет назад

Just to correct a thought. I won't say he syphoned Prime's spark from the Matrix but he absorbed Primes spark and in doing so since it was one with the Matrix he also absorb the power of that Matrix along with Pirme's spark. the Matrix giving Primal him his new form. Would kinda make it more or less like Hot Rod getting upgraded through the Matrix in the Movie. So "Arise Optimal Prime" que "The Touch." Since it was mentioned about Dreamwave talking about Prime not reverting to Orion Pax, sorry Optronix just don't sound right lol, I think I like the cartoon explanation better with Orion Pax being almost mortally wounded by Megatron then rebuilt by Alpha Trion and given the Matrix that Trion had safely hidden away between Autobot Leaders.

@FlamesofJagger 6 лет назад

Jase Doe Optronix was the name that Dreamwave gave him because Hasbro didn't have the right to Orion Pax at the time. The G1 cartoon was of course co owned by Marvel and Hasbro at the time and they didn't want to run the risks of trouble

@jase7474 6 лет назад

That's cool. Always interesting seeing the characters name changing as rights expire and comeback later. I knew they had the comic book deal with Marvel but don't think I realized they co-owned the cartoon I thought that was Sunbow or were they just the studio.

@LorenzoDoesntExist 3 года назад

In The Headmasters, Scorponok destroys Cybertron to prevent Galvatron or the Autobots from receiving a powerful new allow. Rodimus passes the Autobot leadership onto Fortress Maximus but not the Matrix. He flies off into space to find a new planet using the Matrix for guidance, but he never returns. The comics explain that he does return, but that's never shown in a cartoon. If they ever made a proper ending for Zone, they should definitely include him.

@dmangelsm1188 4 года назад

Since Primal changed so much when he got the data contents from Optimus (& it looks like the matrix), it would make more sense if it actually was the matrix. Also, when Megatron talks about the laser core, it's interesting to think it's the same as s spark, just with a different name (maybe it wasn't called a spark yet)

@CHASEMARC 6 лет назад

Big question -- how/why is alpha trion's life force inside the matrix for Optimus Prime in rebirth, but not for Rodimus Prime in season 3 opening? Was Alpha Trion a Prime? He did hold on to the Matrix between Sentinel Prime and Optimus prime

@RodimusPrimal 6 лет назад

The Matrix is a conduit to Primus and the afterlife. Since Alpha Trion died, he was speaking to Prime from there.

@robertfrazier6563 6 лет назад

Quite honestly I think the Matrix was in Prime on the episode divide & conquer only thing it was cover by a hidden chest plate inside Prime. In Transformers the Movie it show when Prime open his chest there's a chest plate that hold the matrix. When Prime give the Matrix to Ultra Magnus Prime's spark is one with the Matrix. But on the episode Dark Awaken Prime don't have the chest plate in him that an error on there part.

@shubhdashukla7692 5 лет назад

I think that if you become a prime your spark is transferred to the matrix so if you take out the energy in it the spark isn't extinguished but rather the matrix absorbs it

@scottb7539 2 года назад

Ever notice how the return of Optimus Prime Rodimus Prime does not revert to Hotrod.

@lucasalejaga1175 2 года назад

I have this crazy theory, can the matrix of leadership apply to all Transformers, Autobots and Decepticons?

@RodimusPrimal 2 года назад

It was specific to the Autobots according to the cartoon. However, its power could be used by any Transformer that had an affinity for it, such as Thunderwing.
