[[File:MatrixOfOppression.jpeg|375px|thumb|That looks painful.]]
The '''Matrix of Oppression''' is a powerful relic that houses the essence of all great Decepticon leaders. It imbues its wielder with the abilities to command and dominate the weak, bending their every action to its user’s will.

Where the [[Matrix of Leadership]] draws its power from [[Primus]], the Matrix of Oppression is imbued with the wrath of [[The Fallen]], the ill-fated [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] exiled for betraying [[Thirteen|his brethren]]. From his wrath, any soul unfortunate enough to be deemed worthy are placed under his indefinite servitude, and are granted a number of supernatural abilities such as mind control, self and ally regeneration, and even reanimation from otherwise fatal damage.

{{bigquote|To fully '''embrace''' its power you must first accept it is also '''you''' who is oppressed.
By it. '''By me'''.|[[The Fallen]], ''[[Transformers (2023) issue 31|Transformers #31]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Energon Universe===
Before being deemed worthy of its power, Megatron had to endure hundreds of devastating trials fighting [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] and the besital [[Mechanokoar]], overseen by the [[Quintesson Prosecutor]] [[Dezimir]]. After the 500th trial, Dezimir bestowed upon Megatron the Matrix, granting him a third pistol mode that would allow him to override the will of anyone who wielded him. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 19|Transformers #19}}

==Notes==
* The spiky, purple, crystalline protrusions strongly resemble [[Dark Energon]], a thematically similar "evil power-boost" a different [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] used in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]''.
* The previous Decepticon leaders shown in Megatron's vision alongside The Fallen include [[Trannis]] and [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], high-ranking Decepticons hailing from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)| original comic]], US and UK respectively (though Trannis is depicted in his design from "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]", which was retconned to be him).
* During Megatron's visions inside the Matrix, we see a bot who looks an awful lot like [[Trailbreaker (G1)#Energon Universe|Trailbreaker]], who Megatron notably killed and sucked-dry of [[Energon]] a few issues prior. Perhaps he savored every last drop a bit ''too'' much…
