A haughty, preening snob, '''Archadis''' (アルカディス ''Arukadisu'') is endlessly concerned with his looks. He’s as proud of his plumage as he is of his impressive arsenal of weapons. He enjoys talking to his victims, lording his superiority over them.

And lots of psycho-sexual taunting. Don't forget the psycho-sexual taunting.

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===

At some point, Archadis was transported back in time to the planet [[Earth|Energoa]], during the original [[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]] between the Maximals and the Predacons. There, he met up with several [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from [[Transformers (2007)|another dimension]]. A battle broke out between the Maximals, Predacons, Autobots and Decepticons. The other-dimensional Transformers eventually returned to their place of origin and the Beast Wars continued as they were. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story}}

Archadis was a Predacon hitman hired by [[Magmatron]] to kill the Maximals scaling the highest peak on [[Greengard]] for an [[Angolmois]] capsule. True to form, Archadis was a snob, marveling at how wonderful it was to fly, an ability that the Maximals lacked. With his ability of flight, Archadis possessed the advantage in battle; the Maximals were stuck in the middle of their climb and didn't use their weapons out of fear of avalanches. After pummeling the other Maximals, Archadis deduced that, as [[Stampy]] was the one holding the rope that the other Maximals were attached to, all he would have to do was attack the helpless bunny. Using his "Ancient Avian Blade of the Dragon World", Archadis prepared to kill the Maximal... after delivering some ''very'' creepy entendres about it "hurting a little at first" (no, really). However, Stampy, inspired by his memories of his mother, was able to jump onto and off the ''moon'' and somersault into Archadis, sending him blasting off and leaving his mask behind. Apparently, he didn't get the "million gold" reward. {{Storylink|Fight to the Death! Twenty Thousand Meters in the Sky}}

When most of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s population was infected with [[Angolmois]], Archadis was part of a crowd that followed the [[Tako Tank]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

:''The Matrix Blade is a weapon from the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Optimus wields the Matrix Blade RID Cartoon.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Trying to compensate for something there, guys?]]
The '''Matrix Blade''' is the ultimate expression of the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] shared by [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]] in their combined form of [[Omega Prime]]. In moments of desperate need, the energy of the Matrix will burst forth and coalesce into the absurdly huge sword, the power of which few foes can withstand.

:''Japanese name:'' '''God Fire Sword'''

==Fiction==
===''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
While Omega Prime and [[Megatron (RID)|Galvatron]] engaged in a one-on-one battle at the centre of the Earth, the [[Autobot|Autobots]]' [[human]] ally [[Koji Onishi|Koji]] was busy attempting to re-energize the drained [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. When Koji informed children all across the world of the Autobots' plight, their desire for the Autobots to succeed infused Fortress Maximus's harmonic resonance protocols with energy - energy which the giant then redirected through the [[Space bridge|Global Space Bridge]] to Omega Prime. The Matrix within Omega Prime's body was flooded with this energy, and brought forth the Matrix Blade, which Omega Prime was able to use to end the tyranny of Galvatron once and for all. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

==Toys==
===Car Robots===
*'''Super God Sword''' (2000)

:A blue redeco of the [[Master Sword]] included with the Japanese release of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], the Matrix Blade came with two handles: the original, allowing it to be held by Fortress Maximus, or the longer, staff-style handle seen in the cartoon, which allowed it to be held (sort of) by the Omega Prime toy. This was effectively an either-or proposition, as the handles are not made to be interchanged once attached.

:The Matrix Blade was only available as a prize in a postcard drawing advertised through [[TV Magazine]], [[Hyper Hobby]] magazine and a television commercial. The contest ran from mid-September to the end of November 2000, and the blade was limited to 1000 pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Grand Maximus]]'s [[Master Blade]].

*'''Clear God Fire Convoy''' (2000)

:The Super God Sword was later made more widely available (comparatively speaking) on November 23, 2000 when it was included part of a gift set [[exclusive]] to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] stores, which featured translucent versions of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus. This version did not include the original handle for the sword.
