So, you guys think we'll be getting a new Matrix of Leadership out of this?

 

I laughed when Rodimus suggested what planet they are one when asking Ultra Magnus if he catalogued it. 100 billion planets even there is Ultra Magnus is not that OCD.

 

A new Matrix of Leadership? What happened to the original one?!  

 

OP split it to stop the D-Void. He did stop it, but it left the Matrix empty. Then he gave the two spent halves away, one to Bumblebee and the other to Rodimus. Well, Bee died and the still empty half was reclaimed by OP. Rodimus, on the other hand, completely destroyed his half when he used it to stop Tyrest's killswitch. In the additional prose story, he is said to scatter its remains over the extinguished hot spot.

 

First, Optimus Prime used it against the Deceptigod at the end of the "Chaos" storyline. Then, "The Death of Optimus Prime" revealed that the Matrix became spent and turned into two halves. Optimus gave one half to Bumblebee and the other to Rodimus. The half that Rodimus got had a map to Cyberutopia. Then, Rodimus used his half of the Matrix in MTMTE #21 to save all the constructed cold Transformers from Tyrest's killswitch, which saved the constructed cold bots, but broke the Matrix half.

Meanwhile, the Matrix half that Bumblebee got stayed with him until he died, then it went back to Optimus.

EDIT: What ArtemisVictor said. Dang it.  

 

Thank y'all. Interesting way to use it. Hopefully we get a new one. Considering Power of The Primes is utilizing multiple matrices for Leader figures and we all know how much the toyline influences the comics now, I'd imagine we'll get a new matrix, which will more than likely go to Optimus Primal.
