The Matrix of Leadership is an ancient and powerful artifact that is used to power the Star Harvester. It can also be used to reactivate a Transformer's spark, thus bringing them back to life (according to Jetfire, it was never designed for that purpose). It was used to revive Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime (Stasis Lock).
History[]
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen[]
Thousands of years ago, the seven Primes used the Matrix to power Star Harvesters, which made Energon used to power the AllSpark. But one of them, Megatronus thought the AllSpark chose him, and he tried to use the Matrix to power a Sun Harvester he had built on Earth, despite the Primes' ancient law. So the other six Primes hid the Matrix of Leadership away in a tomb made of their own bodies. Fast forward to 2009. Sam Witwicky had found the ancient relic, but it crumbled to dust as soon as he touched it. After being guided to Optimus (With Elita-One getting blasted smack in the head and Arcee being killed and Sam having a death experience), Sam shoved the Matrix into Optimus's Spark Chamber, but The Fallen came, and took it to activate the Sun Harvester. Presumably Optimus went to the rubble of the Sun Harvester after the battle and took back the Matrix.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon[]
After Optimus went to the Ark and found Sentinel Prime, he used the Matrix to re-awaken his former mentor. Later, when offering the Matrix to Sentinel and him rejecting it, we never see it again.
Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight[]
Although we do not see it anymore, it is probably in Optimus's Spark cavity, as it's said that the Matrix of Leadership prevents you from being killed. We can see this when Lockdown pushes Optimus's sword straight into his chest, and surviving a powerful blast through the chest.

Trivia[]
In other media the Matrix is a portion of Primus’ spark and has a dark counterpart The Darkspark.
