Fiction

Generation 2 manga

Wheeljack, Perceptor and Jetfire formed a research team which studied the properties of the Matrix of Leadership and eventually discovered the Reconfiguration Matrix mechanism within it. Generation 2 (story page)

In an epic battle with Megatron, Optimus Prime's weaponry was disabled by Hooligan. He was then badly injured by an attack from Dreadwing and Smokescreen. Megatron finally administered the fatal blow and believed his enemy was finally finished. The sparks of past Autobot leaders within the Matrix of Leadership then activated the Reconfiguration Matrix, reviving Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy. Generation 2 (manga)
