The '''Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]]''' (also known as the '''Creation Matrix''' or rarely, the '''Autobot Matrix of Power''' or the '''Matrix of Light''') is an [[sacred implement|artifact of great power]], traditionally carried by the [[Prime (rank)|leader]] of the [[Autobot]]s.

By most accounts, the Matrix is a conduit for the power of [[Primus]], the creator-god of the [[Transformer|Transformers]], serving as a means of access to the [[Allspark]], the "afterlife" of the Transformer race, through which it can either bestow new Transformer life, or provide its wielder with a means of communicating with the deceased leaders who have come before them. These divine powers put it at the centre of much Autobot [[religion]], spirituality and prophecy; while many [[Decepticon]]s are less inclined to believe in its divinity, they certainly covet the increased physical power it is known to convey upon its holders, and several have made obtaining the Matrix one of their primary goals. As one of the embodiments of the power of Primus, the Matrix is antithesis to [[Unicron]], and one of the very few things the chaos-bringer fears.

In his younger days, Walter Simmons filled his life with adventure, exploring the fantastic and the unknown alongside his longtime friend Theodore Wells. Although he describes himself as a man of reason, this particular trait only extends as far as preferring to think his way out of situations rather than resort to violence; when it comes to seeking explanations for the mysteries he and Wells encounter in their adventures, "reason" does not often enter into Simmons's thought processes, and he will willingly embrace the supernatural and otherworldly as an answer. Indeed, it is this openness and eagerness that causes Wells to fear for Simmons's well-being, as it seems all too possible for him to be consumed by the terrifying and wonderful worlds and possibilities that their discoveries have opened up to him.

Putting his life of adventure behind him, Simmons became one of the First Seven, the founders of the organization which would become Sector Seven. He has lived long enough to remain in a position of power with the organization for the majority of its existence, becoming known and feared by many. It is said he knows where most of the skeletons are buried, and how they became skeletons in the first place. Those within Sector Seven refer to him as "The Old Man", but likely never to his face.

Walter is the father of Margaret Simmons, grandfather of Felix and/or William Simmons, and great-grandfather of Seymour Simmons.
