Generation 1[]
In the Transformeres series cartoon, in Cybertron's ancient past, an underperforming mechanoid was smelted down by its Quintesson masters, and reforged into a powerful robot who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the Matrix of Leadership. This powerful robot was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after one particular battle with another robot, decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. The Matrix was passed to a brooding robot, who succeeded him as its bearer.
When Rodimus Prime journeyed inside the Matrix, this powerful robot was the second guide he encountered, and he told him the story of the Quintessons' gladiatorial matches.
