The Autobot Matrix of Leadership (also known as the Creation Matrix or rarely, the Leadership Matrix, the Autobot Matrix of Power, or the Matrix of Light) (Copyright Hasbro)

Wondrous Item, Artifact (Requires Attunement by a chosen Cybertronian. However, the DM gets to choose who is worthy to bear the Matrix.) History: In The Begining of time there was a war between the gods and the elder elemental's this war has caused much of the effects that we now see every day like Undead or rifts to which the elemental planes spill out. But during this time a new race was created by the gods the 13 Primes this race of humanoids look like normal humans only much taller and usually having a near-perfect body's this race was created alongside the angels to help fight not only the elemental but also the devils. After much time the war was won and the primes built a temple on the moon of "Hodom" This temple acted as their main sanctuary. After the war, they were assigned to help aid the new races of the material plane to grow and stay safe from foreign entities however after some time one of the primes was corrupted by greed and sin he struck down almost all of his fellow primes and tried to claim the material plane for his own. However, one prime did survive his attack and asked the gods to assist him in taking down the corrupted the god of the primes came fourth and gifted upon him The Matrix of Leadership a powerful artifact that can light the darkest of hours and bring order back material plane. The battle between the two primes was intense but in the end, the chosen won. He then for the rest of his long life watched over the material plane and kept it safe however he would one day die so he set in place the knights of order a group of dedicated beings that will choose the bearer of The Matrix of Leadership. Now thousands of years later the time has come for a new prime to stand and claim The Matrix of Leadership the knights of order now look for some who has a certain touch.

Light Our Darkest Hour: When it gets too tough you can call upon the power of The Matrix of Leadership. When you are put to the test and things get too tough you can call upon The Matrix of Leadership to light the darkest of hours how you do this is when you are in a tough spot you call forth The Matrix of Leadership from within yourself and and speak aloud ¨Light our darkest hour!¨ one of two things will happen after(this will be decided by your DM). One thing that could happen is that it does nothing or instead it could cast a powerful 500ft spell that Only hits creatures and objects of evil and vile content. When an Evil or vile creature is inside this casting it takes 50D20+50 Radiant damage Ignoring resistance and Radiant immunity becomes Radiant resistance when calculating damage for this spell. This feature can only be used three times before The Matrix of Leadership is emptied of its power when it is emptied you revert back to your normal form losing all bonuses form The Matrix of Leadership. There is only one way to repower The Matrix of Leadership you must go to the temple of the Knights of order located on the moon of ¨Hodom¨(or wherever your campaign is taking place) and you must prove your self once more to not only the knights but also the Cybertronian god Primus. (Note: The perfect time to use the Matrix Of Leadership to light the darkest hour is when it seems the party is about to be wiped out rather than wasting it's power all Willy nilly.)
