Matrix of Leadership

1. I play a Decepticon LEADER Body with an Autobot Head. Can I equip Matrix of Leadership to this character? If yes, does the Matrix's 'While on a Leader' ability function? [Source: WotC]
   Card requirements are inclusive, not exclusive. This character fulfills both the AUTOBOT and LEADER requirements on Matrix of Leadership, so you may play the card on the character and the 'While on a Leader" ability will function.
2. Can you put Matrix of Leadership on Wreck-Gar? [Source: Aequitas]
   Yes, you can put Matrix on either Wave 8 or Wave 9 Wreck-Gars as they are each both Autobot and Junkion. As with the Noble Blaster, an upgrade saying "Put on Autobots only" does not care if the character has other factions, just that it is an Autobot.
3. Post WotC: Alpha Trion Protocols
   What happens if my opponent plays a Belligerence, I reveal DaD, and I flip a Matrix of Leadership and Master of Metallikato on defense? [Source: Alpha Trion Protocols Wave 3 FAQ]
   Belligerence would turn this flip of normally [OU, (OUB)] to [OO, (OOB)], meaning that you only flipped 2 colors on defense--Orange and Black, regardless of your character’s tratis--and would thus get +2 DEF for that battle.
4. Post WotC: Allied Crossplay
   Rodimus Prime - Worthy Leader [Source: ARK 1 [BETA] FAQ]
   While in bot mode, Rodimus only gets the bonus once, regardless of how many copies of Matrix of Leadership he is upgraded with.
5. Post WotC: Allied Crossplay
   Arise, Rodimus Prime [Source: ARK 1 [BETA] FAQ]
   The Matrix of Leadership is taken from your deck before you draw your opening hand. Be sure to shuffle afterwards!
