In addition, there is Prime Spark, a prose story in which Armada Optimus Prime, who happens to be a Matrix bearer, meets some other Transformers named Optimus, including Generation 1 Optimus Prime, who also happens to be a Matrix bearer.

What it is not

By the Matrix, Prime should not be confused with:

• Prima, the first Matrix bearer.

• Primon, because there just aren't enough past Matrix bearers on this page.

• Primus, Transformer God, who made the Matrix.

• Optimus Primal, the munky from Beast Wars, who had an Energon Matrix in Japan.
