Silver Matrix

The Silver Matrix (シルバーマトリクス Shirubā Matorikusu) is the most powerful of the eight Matrices of the Primus Vanguard. Borne by the Vanguard's eponymous leader Primus, it is possessed of the unique ability to absorb all seven of the Star Powers emanated by The One, the fundamental energies of the Precursor World.

Legend has it that if filled completely, the Silver Matrix grants the bearer the ability to recreate the entirety of reality in accordance with their will.

When combined with the ion blaster of its future bearer Star Convoy, it gains a more practical application as the Vok-busting Big Bang Cannon.

Precursor World

Primus's Silver Matrix

In the Precursor World, the Silver Matrix was in the possession of Primus, appointed leader of the Primus Vanguard. Along with the other seven Matrices that carried the Seven Lights, the full power of the Silver Matrix was used to rid the initial set of seven universes of the Specters, shadows of the Matrices' light. This had the side effect of unifying the seven universes into one.

In this singular universe, Primacron, Primus's pet, came up with a plan to use his master's Matrix to recreate the universe; exploiting the Silver Matrix, he took some of its essence to create the divine power, Angolmois Energy. After the Vok attacked this world, Primus realized that multiple parties were hoping to destroy the universe and bring forth a new, future universe of cruelty that he foresaw with the Black Matrix. Seeking to waylay Primacron's and the Vok's plans, Primus engineered a complex plan that had him take the empty Silver Matrix from the next universe while keeping the current one on his person. He would eventually reveal this when his plan reached a climax, absorbing the seven Star Powers from his pawns and using the Silver Matrix to ignite the rebirth of the universe- Finale Prelude

-Only to be blown to smithereens by Neo Primus's central cannon! As Primus's armor shell was shattered revealing the true form of the diminutive energy being known as the Oracle within, the still-fully-charged Silver Matrix was sent flying. Finale

Star Convoy's Silver Matrix

The Silver Matrix would seemingly be transformed into the Zodiac in the events of the Big Bang, contained within the Matrix of Leadership alongside the core energy form of its steward Primus. It was then dispersed as Primacron used it to seed life throughout the G1 World. Finale

In 2050, Dai Atlas gathered all of the fragments in one place, and there they coalesced into the worn-out Silver Matrix. Just as this occurred, the young Primus of the Precursor World burst in with his retinue to take it for himself. Abominus comic 2

Returning to the Precursor World, Primus next plucked Optimus Prime and Galvatron from 2011 of the G1 World into orbit around the Blue Planet, gifted Optimus the older Silver Matrix and tasked him with defeating the Vok. Optimus absorbed the "power of stars" to upgrade himself into Star Convoy and made short work of the Vok's Novaroid swarms by combining the Silver Matrix with his ion blaster to create the Big Bang Cannon. Star Convoy comic Primus then directed him to collect Star Power in the Silver Matrix. Seacons comic 2 Star Convoy was subsequently confronted by Turtler and his Seacons, who sought out to take the Silver Matrix, Seacons comic 3 so that King Poseidon could finally overcome God Ginrai. Seacons comic 5

An evolved Galvatron interrupted the fight as Super Megatron by blowing away King Poseidon. Seeking the Silver Matrix for himself, Super Megatron fought till he decided to threaten some Beast People, forcing Star Convoy to give up the object; Super Megatron subsequently used its power to become Ultra Megatron. Super Megatron comic 1 The battle received further combatants as Blue Big Convoy as the Blue Order appeared to support Optimus Prime. Blue parried his α Matrix with Ultra Megatron's Silver Matrix, allowing the latter to absorb the blue Star Power from the α Matrix, upgrading him further into Ultra Megatron Omega. Super Megatron comic 2

Taking the Silver Matrix with him to destroy the other Orders of the Primus Vanguard, Megatron Omega ran into Purple Wicked Convoy, who proposed using their Matrices to take over the universe. God Neptune comic 1 God Neptune arrived to take Megatron Omega's collected energies for himself, but the Decepticon was able to defeat the combiner and start using the Silver Matrix to absorb the Matrices that his opponent had gathered, but Halfshell interrupted and retook the five Star Powers he had previously, reforming God Neptune. God Neptune comic 2 As Primus's plan reached his climax, he joined the battle between Megatron Omega and God Neptune, wresting the older Silver Matrix from Megatron Omega so that his present Silver Matrix could absorb its blue Star Power. Thus drained, the elder Silver Matrix was cast aside as Primus set about accruing the remaining Star Powers. Finale Prelude It was briefly retrieved by Primacron in his massive Neo Primus robot until his defeat by Volcanicus and the Terrorcons reverted the colossus into the Blue Planet.

The Final Battle

The Silver Matrix of the Precursor World was retrieved by Megatron Omega, now Gold Megatron, who tapped its power to create his New Primus Vanguard. Upon having the drained Silver Matrix of the G1 World returned to him from the Blue Planet's surface by Blue Megatron, Gold Megatron fused the two instances of the Silver Matrix to create the incomprehensibly powerful Gold Matrix. Upon his defeat by Star Convoy and his own future self, the two Silver Matrixes decombined and were left behind when the Oracle returned the de-powered Optimus Prime and Galvatron to 2011. Finale

Toys

Selects

• Star Convoy (September 28, 2019)
  • Accessories: Star Trailer/evolution armor, ion-blaster (formed by two blasters), Silver Matrix

The Generations Selects Star Convoy retool of Power of the Primes Optimus Prime included a compatible Silver Matrix, with the entire accessory dipped in chrome. This matrix does not split into two pieces nor contain a Prime Master like some of its Power of the Primes brethren. The Silver Matrix has a 5 mm post on the bottom and a 5mm hole on top, meant to allow the figure's two guns to combine with it into the "Big Bang Cannon." The post also makes it wieldable by figures with 5mm fist holes for "Matrix Hammer" attacks, as seen in the Generations Selects comic. While the core and frame aren't interchangeable the Silver Matrix can be put in the chests of other Power of the Primes leader class figures.

Notes

• The Oracle pledges to return his various pawns to their home times and places in the conclusion of the Generations Selects finale. Presumably this includes returning the Silver Matrix of the G1 World, though it is not mentioned by name.
• The Oracle is last seen as a comatose prisoner of the Straxuses in Darkmount, leaving the fate of his own Silver Matrix unknown.
