It


 * It is an ancient mechanoid from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The entity known only as It resides in the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. The exact relationship of It to the Matrix is unknown, although It was probably an Autobot in life. It may be the chronologically earliest being to have merged with the Matrix.

Generation 1

 * Voice actor: Peter Cullen (US) ??? (Japan)

When the Hate Plague threatened to infect all life in the universe, Optimus Prime made a desperate mental trip into the Matrix in search of a cure. After speaking with Alpha Trion, Prime encountered It, which told him of the Matrix's previous exposure to the Hate Plague. At that time, a wise man was able to contain the plague's spores and contain them within a star, but no one person had enough wisdom to destroy the plague completely. Prime gambled that the accumulated wisdom contained within the Matrix itself would be enough, and released it, which indeed destroyed the Hate Plague.

Whether the essence of It remains in the Matrix or was lost when Prime opened it is unknown.
