Transformers Question about TF's Screenwriters

[WalkingDead]

The Creation Matrix was simply a plot device used to introduce new characters. The overarching storyline was syphoning of Earth's natural resources and the prevention of the Decepticons forming the Space Bridge.

I don't remember Transformers being anything like "The Dark Crystal.".... but I do know the mysticism Gods and Demons offworld "Matrix Quest" played a part years later. I actually preferred those plots stayed were they original were... in my beloved Masters of The Universe cartoons.

Also remember in the early issues of G1 Comics...the Creation Matrix was a huge part of the stories...involving/spanning over Shockwave, Prime, Buster, Jetfire, Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet, and the Constructicons. Having control of the Creation Matrix was an important part of the stories for at least two full story arcs.


And stopping the construction of the Space Bridge wasn't really anything huge in the comics. It was only major during one short arc with Blaster destorying Spanner (the original Space Bridge). In the cartoon, the Autobots never tried to stop the Space Bridge's construction, nor did they mount a huge assault on the Space Bridge's operations.

And it always came off as a means to an end not a true central element. From what I remember the central impetus in the issues following the miniseries was communicating with Cybertron (via communications array, space bridge, whatever)... which is why the Constructicons were created.

I just never saw the Creation Matrix as a "godly" Holy Grail. Just a tool. It wasn't until the movie were they turned it into all kinds of corniness.

I miss the old Beast Wars spark theory, I thought that was a really great take on TF.

Well it's been ret-conned that Sparks are in G1, housed in their Lasercores, devices that hold and keep the Spark intact. This isn't a widely-accepted ret-con, but it works with G1's screwball, contradicting storylines well enough.

So then, what's the problem with this new interpretation of the Creation Matrix being used as a "tool" in this movie like it was for the G1 Comics? It's only been said that they are looking for it, since it gave life to Transformers...just like how they were looking for in The Matrix Quest and a few other issues of the G1 Comics.
