The '''[[Matrix of Leadership]]''' will lighten your darkest wallet.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2001)

: When in his [[Super Mode]]. ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Optimus Prime has a little door on his chest that opens to reveal a sculpted, non-removable Matrix. In Japanese fiction, this was not the Matrix of Leadership, but rather a mere [[Energon Matrix]], the like of which had been seen in toy form before with [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Big Convoy]]. Despite what the intent of the toy may have been, though, the cartoon relegated this sculpted detail to the role of a simple power intake socket, while the Matrix (in both ''Car Robots'' and ''Robots in Disguise'') was never shown to have physical form.

:The Matrix remained when Prime was redecoed for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' ([[#Universe (2003)|see below]]) and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' ([[#Cybertron|below again]]) toylines, and was also present in both the exclusive Clear and Black versions of the figure available in Japan... but being Japanese figures, that technically means it's not the Matrix of Leadership on them!

*'''New Year Special Convoy''' (2002)
*'''Galvatron''' (2005)
*'''Galvatron II''' (2005)

:The first true Matrix of Leadership toy was a silver [[die-cast]] metal accessory which came with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s "New Year Special" reissue of the original [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] Optimus Prime figure. The Matrix came with a removable chain that allowed it to be looped around the head of Prime or any other figure you chose to give it to, and when flipped upside-down, it could also clip over the ''[[Diaclone]]''-holdover cockpit seats inside Prime's opening chest compartment.

:This Matrix was [[redeco]]ed in gold for inclusion with Takara's 2005 reissue of the original Galvatron toy, and in green (specifically representing its appearance as the Creation Matrix in the Marvel Comics series) for the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Galvatron II]] redeco. Years later, the original silver version of the Matrix was included as part of the "[[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] vs. [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]" set in the 2010 ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline ([[#Transformers (2010)|see below]]).

===Armada===

*'''Shining Gold Convoy''' (Super Base, 2003)
*'''Powerlinx Optimus Prime''' (Super Base, 2003)
*'''Battle for the Matrix''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
*'''Magna Convoy DX Set''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

:The large version of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' Optimus Prime has a non-removable Matrix of Leadership hidden behind the flip-down grill on his chest. This feature was kept for the various [[Redeco|redecos]] of this mold, gaining a blue center for Prime's "Powerlinx" redeco, and being entirely chromed when the figure got the gold chrome treatment as a Lucky Draw figure. Some further coloration changes were made when the figure was redecoed during the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline ([[#Energon|see below]]).

:Although this mold was never redecoed into [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], the ''[[Linkage (comic)|Linkage]]'' mini-comics exploited the two characters' physical similarity to essentially [[repurposing|repurpose]] this Matrix into the [[Doomstone]].

'''Optimus Prime''' (Supreme, 2003)

:Although ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime got a lemon-yellow makeover for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline, the Matrix beneath his chest-panel remained the same as ever.

===Energon===

'''Optimus Prime and Overload''' (Multi-pack, 2005)

:While the new-mold Optimus Prime toys created for the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline lacked any kind of Matrix (instead featuring the [[Spark of Combination]] in a very Matrix-esque middle-of-the-chest position), the line did not go entirely without, as the ''Armada'' Super Base Prime figure was redecoed and re-released in a multi-pack with combination partner [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]]. Available exclusively at [[Costco]] stores, this version of the figure redecoed the sculpted Matrix in a bright golden-orange (compared to the dull gold of before), with a green crystal at the centre.

===20th Anniversary/Masterpiece===
[[Image:Masterpiece matrices.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
* '''Optimus Prime''' (2004)
* '''Convoy''' (Lucky Draw figure, 2004)
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (2004)
* '''Convoy Perfect Edition''' (2006. 2009)
* '''Convoy Black Version''' (2010)
* '''Convoy Sleep Mode''' (2010)
* '''Convoy Final Edition''' (2011)

:A chromed Matrix accessory came with Hasbro's ''20th Anniversary'' and Takara's ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece| Masterpiece]]'' edition of Optimus Prime, consisting of a translucent blue "crystal" centre surrounded by two shell-halves that could be pulled open. The Matrix stored in an opening chamber in Prime's chest, where its centre could be illuminated by a blue LED light built into the compartment. In order to fit into Prime's chest, however, the Matrix wound up being rather small, leaving Prime only able to wrap two of his fingers through its handles, instead of his whole hands.

:The Matrix was included with every reissue and redeco of the Prime mold, remaining in its normal colors when it came with Ultra Magnus, and the "Perfect Edition", "Sleep Mode" and "Final Edition" versions of Prime himself. When Prime was chromed entirely gold as a [[Lucky Draw figure]], though, the Matrix was likewise blinged out, while the Matrix included with the "Black Version" of Prime, representing an [[Eldedroid]], was chromed purple where the original was gold, and had a red translucent centre, illuminated by the figure's new red LED. A non-chromed version of the Matrix was included with Hasbro's "DVD Edition" of the figure as part of the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' line ([[#Classics|see below]]).

[[Image:MP rodimus matrix.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Rodimus Convoy''' (2011)
:Being built to a smaller scale than the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime figure, ''Masterpiece'' Rodimus Prime featured a new, smaller Matrix accessory of his own, cast in translucent blue plastic and decorated with gold and silver chrome. The Matrix stores in a chamber in Rodimus's abdomen, but is ''so small'' (smaller even relatively to Rodimus that Optimus's Matrix was to him) that Rodimus can't hold it by its handles at all.

:Hasbro's release of the figure includes an additional Matrix accessory, very similar to Masterpiece Optimus Prime's Matrix. Rodimus is actually capable of wrapping his entire mitts around this accessory's handles.

===Cybertron===
[[Image:Cybertrontoy matrix.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2005)
*'''Galaxy Force Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2006)

:''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' Optimus Prime comes with a removable Matrix of Leadership accessory, decorated with an inverse color scheme that renders the crystal orange and the holder grey. The Matrix fits in Prime's chest, and his large, articulated fingers mean that he can hold it, though not in both hands at once.

:The Matrix remained unchanged when Prime was redecoed into his "Galaxy Force" coloration, which was also re-released without changes in the 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline.

[[Image:Cybertrontoy_ridprime_magnus_2pack.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime''' (multi-pack, 2005)

:''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime was slightly redecoed for inclusion in this Costo-exclusive two-pack with ''Robots in Disguise'' Ultra Magnus, which saw the two toys recast as versions of ''Cybertron'''s own Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (Cybertron)|Ultra Magnus]] characters, rather than the ''Robots in Disguise'' originals. The mold still sports its sculpted Matrix detail, though for this release the paint applications that surrounded it were changed from orange to black (this being the only change from the original figure). It's not impossible that this might actually ''not'' have represented the Matrix of Leadership on this figure, but instead the Spark of Combination, which the set's packaging mentions as the source of the brothers' combining power—but we include it here to be thorough!

===Hybrid Style===
[[Image:THS_galaxyconvoy_matrix.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Galaxy Convoy''' (2005)
: Part of Takara's short ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' series of small-scale, highly-articulated figures, this version of ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime came with a ''really'' tiny removable Matrix that stored in its customary position within the toy's chest. It was somewhat more show-accurate sculpt than the Matrix included with the full-size ''Cybertron'' Prime figure, and was colored with metallic paint as opposed to the larger figure's mostly-unpainted accessory.

[[Image:THSmatrix.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Convoy''' (2006)
*'''Convoy Black Version''' (2006)

: The ''Hybrid Style'' version of Generation 1 Optimus Prime also comes with a super-tiny Matrix, not much bigger than a large drug capsule, which fits in the traditional opening compartment within Prime's chest. Like the ''Hybrid Style'' ''Cybertron'' Prime before it, the figure comes with an assortment of alternate hands, but ''un''like its predecessor, it includes a pair specifically designed to hold the Matrix. Due to the small size of the figure, they do not figure articulated fingers to grip it, but instead are cast in the shape of clenched fists with grooves cut into the outside of the fingers into which the Matrix can slot.

:The Matrix was also included with Prime's later "Black Version" redeco, without changes.

[[Image:G2toy_reissue_matrix_stickers.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Battle Convoy''' (reissue, 2006)
*'''Laser Ultra Magnus''' (e-Hobby exclusive, 2006)

:When ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime was reissued in 2006, among the assorted changes made to his deco was the addition of a pair of new [[sticker]]s to his chest windows that depicted the Matrix resting in its traditional position inside him. The stickers remained when the figure was redecoed into the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive Laser Ultra Magnus figure.

===Classics===
[[Image:Classicstoy dvd mp prime matrix.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)

:The ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' "DVD Edition" of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece| Masterpiece]]'' Optimus Prime included the familiar Matrix accessory, but as with all the other parts of the toy that had previously been vacuum-metalized, it is now decorated in metallic gold and silver paint, rather than chrome.

===Transformers (2010)===
[[Image:TF2010_hftd_matrix.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (2010)
: While the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie may have left the fate of the live-action Matrix up in the air, the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Transformers (2010)#Voyager class toys|Battle Blades Optimus Prime]] figure follows through on the intention evident in several of the film's adaptations by including it as an accessory stored within his body. Specifically, this removable Matrix attaches to a translucent blue plate hidden in Prime's midriff, which rotates up into place when his chest is opened and a panel on his abdomen is folded down. The Matrix is unpainted grey plastic on the Hasbro release of the figure; the TakaraTomy edition of Battle Blades Prime gives it coat of silver paint.

*'''Battle in Space''' (Deluxe figure 2-pack, 2010)

: The die-cast metal Matrix originally released by TakaraTomy with several of their Generation 1 reissues ([[#G1toy|see above]]) received its first Hasbro release in this box set of [[redeco]]s of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Rodimus]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Cyclonus (G1)#Universe (2008)|Cyclonus]], released under the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]]. The Matrix itself is back in its original silver coloration. Unfortunately, the figures can't actually ''interact'' with the accessory in any way: Neither Rodimus nor Cyclonus can actually ''hold'' the Matrix, and it can't even hang from their necks since it does not include the removable chain that came with the various Takara editions.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe class, 2011)

: Part of the sixth wave of the 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline and the second wave of the ''Reveal the Shield'' subline imprint, this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#G2toy|see above]]). The panels on the side of his truck mode fold in behind his chest windows in robot mode to reveal a sculpted Matrix of Leadership.

*'''Hot Rod''' (model kit, 1996)

:This Japanese "garage kit" of Hot Rod, an unpainted, unassembled resin model from [[MC Axis]], with two versions of the Matrix of Leadership: One standard, fairly useless one (since Hot Rod lacks either a chest compartment to hold it, or articulated hands to grip it), and a second sculpted with a pair of hands clutching its handles, which can be swapped out for Hot Rod's normal hands, allowing him to hoist it aloft.

:The kit is not known for its exceptional quality control - numerous unsightly air bubbles in the plastic are not an uncommon thing to encounter.

===Metalforce===

*'''Metalforce Convoy''' (2000)
*'''Metalforce Convoy Metalic Version''' {{sic}} (2000)

:A Matrix of Leadership accessory is included with both the standard ''[[Metalforce]]'' Optimus Prime and its metallic redeco, cast in translucent blue plastic and painted over. The Matrix fits into its traditional cavity in Prime's chest, and a panel can then be placed on top of it to hide it from view; alternatively, the panel can be left out, allowing the Matrix to remain visible through Prime's chest windows. For whatever reason, the figures also came with an uncut, unpainted version of the Matrix (and all of Prime's other accessories) as well.

===Super Collection Figure===
*'''Rodimus Convoy with Matrix''' (2000)
[[Image:Scf_matrices.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
:The Matrix made its first appearance in Taraka's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' series of PVC figurines in the hands of the rare Rodimus Prime [[chase figure]] from the line's second "act". Both Rodimus and the Matrix were cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, as the Autobot leader held the talisman in both hands, in the process of opening it.

*'''Rodimus Convoy with Matrix''' (2001)

:The Matrix-bearing Rodimus chase figure was re-released as a standard figure for the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, this time as both a standard, solid-color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, both available at one each per standard case of twelve. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter figure came with the right leg of the wave's collectable [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

*'''Convoy with Matrix''' (2001)
:The Matrix made another appearance in the hands of a chase figure with this metallic silver Optimus Prime from the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act. The Matrix's translucent blue core is the only part of the figure not covered in silver paint.

:The same Matrix accessory, cast in grey plastic with orange paint on the casing and metallic silver on the core, was included with the various ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Mega_SCF|Mega Super Collection Figure]]'' versions of Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime. None of the figures had compartments to store the Matrix, nor hands equipped to hold it in the normal way: the most any of the five figures can manage is to cup or balance it in their "open palm" alternate hands.

:The bust of Optimus Prime released as part of the ''[[KT Figure Collection]]'' features a removable Matrix with some atypical green detailing. Visible through Prime's chest windows, the Matrix is revealed when a lever on Prime's back is pressed, opening his chest and pushing the Matrix forward. The Matrix remained in the silver "Revival Version" redeco available exclusively through ''[[Figure Ō]]'' magazine.

:Seeking to produce a super deformed Transformers statue, [[First 4 Figures]] teamed up with Transformers fan site [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com] to run a contest that would allow fans to design their own. The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Iron Bird), and was limited to only 500 pieces. A variant edition of the statue was also produced, redecoing Magnus in the color scheme of his ''Diaclone'' precursor, Powered Convoy, and was even more limited at only 100 pieces.

*'''Autobot Matrix of Leadership''' (2006)

: [[Diamond Select Toys]] produced a human-scaled replica of the Matrix. Weighing six pounds, it was sculpted by Robert Lee and is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. The Matrix can be picked up off its Autobot-symbol base, and held by the finger holes in the handgrips — and while it does not open, it can "light your darkest hour," with internal electronics that make the central crystal orb pulse in blue, green, red, yellow, and pink. The base also has a removable [[Key to Vector Sigma]] accessory.

: This statue of Hot Rod and Unicron stands 8 ½” tall and was limited to 1,986 pieces (as in 1986, the year the original animated movie was released). Hot Rod stands in the center of the piece, holding the Matrix of Leadership aloft, as Unicron looms behind him.

:The Matrix of Leadership was a regular fixture on Diamond Select's array of Optimus Prime busts, appearing as sculpted detail on the standard base piece shared by the Optimus Prime, G1 Animated Optimus Prime, and unreleased Powermaster Optimus Prime busts. The same base was used for the Final Battle Optimus Prime bust, which represents the character after his climactic battle with Megatron, but the Matrix was removed (replaced with a panel displaying Prime's life-signs) and instead included as a removable accessory that fits in the bust's hand.

: ''Revoltech'' Optimus Prime comes with a Matrix accessory. Alas, like his ''Mega SCF'' incarnations before him ([[#Mega Super Collection Figure|see above]]), ''Revoltech'' Prime cannot store it in his chest, and is unable to grasp it with any of his various alternate hands, with the only possible means of interaction being to precariously balance the Matrix in his open palm.
