That looks painful.

The Matrix of Opression is a powerful relic that houses the essence of all previous 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 exiled for betraying his brethren. From his wrath, any 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.

“	To fully embrace its power you must first accept it is also you who is oppressed. By it. By me.	”
—The Fallen, Transformers #31

Fiction

Energon Universe

Before being deemed worthy of its power, Megatron had to endure hundreds of devastating trials fighting 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. Transformers #19

Notes

• The spiky, purple, crystalline protrusions visually recall Dark Energon, a thematically similar "evil power-boost" Megatron used in Prime.
