Talk:Transformers (2023) issue 30
I Think the Main Summary Is Wrong
In the main summary, it stated that the matrix chooses Elita over Optimus. I think that's a misinterpretation of the events on the page.
Looking at the sequence of events, optimus stops elita's fight, opens the matrix chamber and gives it to her, and then she becomes a prime. An insert panel has the characters reacting in shock before the choice is made. That doesn't read as it choosing her over him. That read as him voluntarily stepping down as prime and giving the role to her, in order to fight for earth. The line about a leader being Chosen to me is about Optimus choosing a successor, not The Matrix choosing.
Optimus doesn't seem shocked or by The Matrix's choice he doesn't seem dismayed or hurt.
