So here it is, Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime, as photographed by Spliffdizzle. There were only three ways to obtain one of these: 1. Take a few days off work to go to Comic-Con, spend a bundle to get in, and get jostled by crowds until your shoulders dislocate. 2. Stay glued to your computer all night, hoping to get lucky by feverishly clicking the "Refresh" button on Hasbro's site, sticking pins in a voodoo doll labeled "Every Other Collector Alive". 3. Sleep until noon of that day, discover that there are still plenty for sale online, decide that you don't really want one after all, but buy one anyway on the off chance that they really did sell out like hotcakes, and what you are seeing is in fact a computer glitch that happened only to you and in your favor for once and that if you don't buy this last one right now you will never get another chance and when they're selling at Christie's Auction House 20 years from now for $800k you will kill yourself. Personally, I chose #3, and life.

I went with option #2...luckily I got everything I wanted (Ultimate Prime, Starscream, Matrix Prime, and the NERF Optimus Blaster).

Nice shot Spliffdizzle !

The big question is - Do you strut around town with this chained around your neck humming "I've got the touch. I've got the pooooweeer." ??   :o

For others (like myself) who have never seen the original 80's movie:
