One of the movies that left the most impact on me when I was still in elementary school was Transformers The Movie. After this movie was released in theaters in 1986, millions of fans of this animated series were traumatized by the death scene of Optimus Prime. In conjunction with the 40th anniversary of this movie, Hasbro started the “Apology Tour” event for those who were traumatized by the death of the Autobot leader.
In addition to apologizing, Hasbro also finally offered a game that I personally wanted since 1986, the Matrix of Leadership. The Matrix of Leadership for those who do not follow this animated series is a device stored in the body of the Autobot leader. After the death of Optimus Prime, it was held by Hot Rod who changed his name to Rodimus Prime.
The Matrix of Leadership replica can be opened and lights up in blue like in the movie. In addition, it will also start playing the song “The Touch” by Stan Bush also from this iconic movie. It is recharged using a USB-C cable and you do not have to worry about having to find the Energon Cube.
Pre-orders are now open on Hasbro's website with Matrix of Leadership replicas priced at $125 (~RM 487) each. For those who have been craving this game since 1986, now you can own it and fulfill your dream of becoming a Prime.
