    or does the Matrix of leadership somewhat resemble Unicron in his alt/planet mode? Is there something to this in TF lore?

    I guess there is a bit of a resemblance, but nothing more than the fact both were created during the same story and one's design influenced the other maybe. Good observation, though, I never noticed it before.

    Yes it does, but I don't see it influences anything in the slightest.

    maybe its like his heart?
    like in Pirates of the carribean Davey Jones' dislocated heart is something that effects him. and Unicron says the matrix is the only thing that effects him.

    Rodimus Prime *singing* - Ive got a jar of dirt... and guess whats inside it!

    Wow, I never noticed that before until now. Thanks for pointing it out, jametron. Yeah the Matrix of Leadship does look like Unicron in his planet mode, only without the horns.

    I've never noticed it, but there's definitely a stylistic similarity.

    One is the personification of Unicron, the other is the 'weapon' of Primus to be used against of Unicron. The two beings were essentially opposite side of the same coin, maybe that explains the similarity.

    I've always wondered if there was some implied connection between Unicron and the Matrix because of their similar design (beyond just the Matrix being able to destroy Unicron for some reason, or because of any Space Monkey Assistant malarky). Their colour schemes are the same too, with the central sphere being orange and the ring being grey.

    That said, the Matrix reminds me of the Odyssey from Ulysses 31 too:
