The so-called tinder interface and matrix interface are exactly what we see in the Transformers Super Warriors and Beast Man series cartoons that are directly called tinder and are directly called matrix in the 98-episode animation and movies of g1. But in fact, in my opinion, they are not real tinder, nor are they real matrices, but just an interface channel.

Why do you say that? Let's first determine what the real fire and real matrix in the Transformers system mean. A plot dialogue in the first episode of the Beastman helps us understand this. That plot is that the chimpanzee primal) comes to Oracle deep underground in Sebertron (i.e., Electronic Star), and then Oracle brings his consciousness into a large amount of fire and surging space around him, saying this to him:

"What you connect to now is a matrix that controls everything that has died and is about to survive in this world. Don't rush to transform and prepare for reformatting. Remember that the seeds of the future are buried deep in the past... and seek balance, change destiny, change and transcend."

The content contained in this dialogue and picture is actually quite rich, especially "the seeds of the future are buried deep in the past", which is more meaningful, and cannot be explained here at once. But through this content, we can first have a more accurate understanding of the real matrix and the real fire in the Transformers system, and even give a clearer definition.

The matrix in the Transformers system is a world or space with rules of human socialization that is relatively isolated from the external reality machine world. This space accommodates and connects all independent individual consciousnesses generated by certain machine program codes or certain forms of energy and matter activities. And these independent individual consciousnesses themselves can continuously delve into new individual consciousnesses.

It can be said that the matrix in Transformers is essentially the same thing as the matrix in the Matrix, but it is an evolutionary upgrade version.

It is easy to clarify the meaning of the matrix in Transformers, and then determine the meaning of the fire. The fire of a Transformer is a collection of energy and information carried by an independent individual consciousness in the matrix space.

From this we can also simplify the definition of the matrix, which is a space that accommodates and connects all tinders and provides a regular environment for the activities of the tinders.

The term "fire" was actually quite late to be proposed. It was only found in "Trk" episode 15 of "Trk" in "Trk". From this episode, the concept of "Trunk" is that when the fire burns, the corresponding Transformers will be alive, and even if the body is destroyed, it can be repaired; if the fire is extinguished, the corresponding Transformers will die, and even if the body is intact, it will be useless. Combined with other plots,

We can also know that Transformers' intelligence, core memory, personality, and main energy of action also comes from their own fire, and because of the relationship between fire, there are genders. Because of this, Transformers and robots that rely on computer hardware, batteries, and circuits in the traditional sense to act are completely different concepts (some people raise questions about Transformers in the way they understand traditional robots, but they actually have no basic understanding of Transformers).

In the 95th episode of Transformers of the G1 American version, although the concept of fire was not clearly proposed, this concept has actually begun to appear. For example, in the two episodes of "Sigma Vector" (i.e. "Magic Ball", the Flying Tigers and the Flying Taibao were given life by the Sigma Vector, which actually involved the concept of fire, but the term was not clearly proposed. For example, it is more obvious that in the 62nd episode of "Red Spider Rebellion", Red Spider uses the Tank on Earth

Ke Aircraft made his own subordinates. He went to Sebertron's prison to steal some shiny pure energy-like objects, and then put these things into those tanks and planes. As a result, the Huntian Leopard Robot Unit was created, and the personality consciousness of these robots was the prisoner who had been imprisoned in Sebertron's prison for millions of years. In fact, what Red Spider stole here is what is clearly called the Fire Sprout in "Super Warriors". In the future, TV series such as the ghost of Red Spider were actually all about the concept of Fire Sprout.

So why do I think what is called fire in most places in cartoons is actually not fire, but just a fire interface?

The key is that we have seen such two coexistence statements many times in the plot. On the one hand, saying that a Transformer dies means that its fire has been extinguished; on the other hand, saying that a Transformer dies means that its fire returns to the matrix. But there is obviously an irreconcilable contradiction between the two statements. Since the fire has been extinguished, how can it return to the matrix? Moreover, different Transformers may be located on a planet several light years, or even hundreds or thousands of light years apart, and where is the matrix? When the Transformers on different planets so far away die, if the real fire in their bodies is the real fire body, how can they all return to the matrix? In addition, what is the meaning of the extinguished fire even if it returns to the matrix.

If we understand that the so-called fire in the Transformers body we see in the cartoon is actually just a fire interface, not a real fire, questions can disappear. It can be judged that Transformers, whether they are living Transformers or nominally dead Transformers, their real fire has always existed and contained in the matrix. The difference is the living Transformers. Their fire in the matrix has a channel interface connected to the real space, which is what we are

The light-shaped tinder interface located in the Transformers body is seen in the cartoon. When the matrix system determines that a tinder exists in an external interface, the real tinder itself is still in the matrix, but its connection with other parts of the matrix will be cut off. When a Transformer dies, the channel interface connecting the tinder in the matrix and the real space is closed and destroyed, that is, the tinder interface is extinguished, and at the same time, its connection with other parts of the matrix is ​​restored.

In this way, we understand why a Transformer dies, saying that its fire has been extinguished, and at the same time it says that its fire returns to the matrix. In fact, the first fire here refers to the fire interface, and the next fire refers to the real fire itself. The so-called return to the matrix is ​​not to return to the matrix from outside the matrix, but just to restore the connection between the fire that is already in the matrix and the other parts of the matrix. The reason why the Transformers in the cartoon calls the fire interface fire is because they have a very little understanding of the matrix and fire (in the plot of the Beastman, they even didn't know the existence of oracle and Sigma vectors at the beginning, treating them as a legend), and the fire interface they saw is indeed similar to the fire, so they naturally confused the two.

After understanding the difference between the tincture interface and the tincture itself, I suddenly realized some of the once confusing plots in the Transformers animation before. For example, Optimus Prime's two resurrections. If it is understood as the original understanding, the fire extinguishing will be extinguished, and the resurrections again and again seem far-fetched. But it is easy to explain now. The fire representing Optimus Prime in the matrix always exists. In the big movie, Optimus Prime's death is just his fire interface extinguished.

Optimus Prime's first resurrection should be in episode 73 "The Strategy of the Five-Side Monster", which controls its metal body in the Autobot's grave. When Butianshi forced the matrix interface into his body, Optimus Prime's real fire re-controls the circuit of the machine's body through the matrix interface, so he can get rid of the control of the Five-Side Monster. Optimus Prime's second resurrection was that the five-Side Monster temporarily forced the fire interface to restore his fire interface through repair, allowing him to reconnect the fire in the matrix to enter the real space. After regaining the matrix interface, the matrix strengthens the fire interface and extends the time for the fire interface to last, which makes Optimus Prime's second resurrection live for a long time.

What is more typical and more telling is the resurrection of the dinosaur warrior among the super warriors. In the 35th episode of the super warriors, the dinosaur warriors fought against six and sacrificed heroically. His fire (actually the fire interface) was extinguished, and his body was finally completely cremated and destroyed. According to the original understanding, this is the most typical destruction of both form and spirit, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Unlike Optimus Prime's resurrection, it can be said to be the old body that has been preserved. But at the end of the super warriors, the dinosaur warriors resurrected with the metal variant dinosaur body. How to explain it? The metal variant dinosaur is a Tyrannosaurus resurrection with the brand new original body and from

A small part of the fire warrior (the original body x transformed into a metal crab with a special fire interface) was cut from the fire interface, and the metal variant driver obtained by aliens were created. Its body was completely made, and its fire interface also originated from part of the fire. Its logic has nothing to do with the dead dinosaur warrior. Whether it is the body or the fire interface, it only has a similar appearance at best. But in the end, when the fire and the Pioneer died together, the original dinosaur warrior's consciousness entered the body of the metal variant dinosaur. If you understand that the fire we see is just a fire interface, it is easy to understand.

When the main body of the tinder interface of the Storm Warrior was destroyed, the connection between the real tinder in the matrix and other parts of the matrix was restored. At this time, this small part of the tinder interface located in the body of the metal variant dinosaur was also connected to the tinder of the Storm Warrior. This also means that with the tinder of the Storm Warrior as a transit, the tinder in the body of the metal variant dinosaur actually became a matrix interface, which actually violated the matrix rules. In this case, the matrix system automatically connected the tinder of the Dinosaur Warrior that matched the metal body to this interface, and at the same time disconnected the connection between the dinosaur Warrior and other parts of the matrix, and the dinosaur Warrior was resurrected. However, because the tinder of the Dinosaur Warrior was already accustomed to life in the matrix, after he was resurrected, he immediately used self-sacrifice to exchange for the failure of the Tyrannosaurus Rex operation, destroyed his new tinder interface, and resumed the connection with the other parts of the matrix.
