Schmucks too good for disco

[edit] Fictional stories

Several stories contained the word "Prime".

Television

• A Prime Problem, in which nobody thought to check which Optimus Prime had the Matrix.

• Prime Target, in which a hunter was targeting Optimus Prime, who has the Matrix.

• The Return of Optimus Prime, in part 2 of which Optimus Prime fights Rodimus Prime for the Matrix.

Comics

• Prime Time!, an issue of the Marvel Comics Generation One comic book in which Optimus Prime gets back the Matrix.

• Prime Directive, a six-part Dreamwave Generation One miniseries which has a bunch of Autobots reactivated by the Matrix.

• Vector Prime: In the Beginning, an issue of the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club comic which includes a flashback with Optimus Prime opening the Matrix.

In addition, there is Prime Spark, a prose story in which Armada Optimus Prime, who happens to be a Matrix-bearer, meets some other Transformers named Optimus, including Generation One Optimus Prime, who also happens to be a Matrix-bearer.

[edit] What it is not

By the Matrix, Prime should not be confused with:

• Prima, the first Matrix-bearer.

• Primon, because there just aren't enough past Matrix-bearers on this page.

• Primus, Transformer God, who made the Matrix.

• Optimus Primal, the munky from Beast Wars, who had an Energon Matrix in Japan.
