High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A spark is usually the "soul" of a Transformer in the fictional Transformers universe. Also called an AllSpark, in the Beast Machines television series, it is a term for the Transformers` afterlife, while in the Transformers 2007 live action film, it is a cube-shaped artifact adorned with glyphs and designs which is capable of granting independent life to normal electronic and mechanical objects and is the source of life for all Transformers. It was known as The Matrix, but changed to avoid confusion with the film franchise of the same name. In the Transformers Animated 2007-2010 TV series, it shares a similar history and capabilities with its 2007 film counterpart, but resembles the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is referred to as the "Matrice" in the French version of the show.
