Known to render bots in an altogether new disguise as it transforms them, the Matrix of Leadership has had many owners and very few masters.
From Optimus Prime to Rodimus Prime and Megatron to Ultra Magnus, its affects varies to the amount of time in its presence as well as the overall structure of the bearer.
Still, as mysterious as it is, there can be no doubt that the appeal and power is so alluring as to convert non-believers into followers of the truth.
Decepticons gestalt, Devestator, was shocked and dismayed when presented at a construction site. Reportedly, the green and purple robot was dismayed that destruction and demolition had occurred without his involvement.
Formed of Constructicons Scrapper, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook and Long Haul, the building master was on a holiday when coming across the scene of rubble and decimation.
Devastator was later seen ploughing down a city block in an attempt to consol himself and not miss out on another smash and dash.
