Animated Series
The Key to Vector Sigma is given to Jack Darby by Optimus in "One Shall Rise, Part 2", a 1st season finale episode of Transformers: Prime (2010–present). It is initially explained to Jack by Optimus as the key to the Ground Bridge power supply, but Ratchet explains to Jack in "One Shall Rise, Part 3" that it is instead, the key to Vector Sigma, indicating that Optimus senses enough maturity in Jack to hold it in his possession and that Optimus does not plan to come back to the Autobot base after an expedition to the center of the Earth to defeat Unicron. Vector Sigma is described as a repository of mystical power, vital to restoring Optimus' memories after he used the Matrix of Leadership to defeat Unicron. Jack and Arcee use the Decepticon space bridge to travel to Cybertron to locate Vector Sigma, which is situated within the Decepticon capital city of Kaon. When Jack did find Vector Sigma, he placed the Matrix in it to download info to restore Optimus Prime's memories. When the Scraplets started chewing on Vector Sigma, Jack was able to divert their attention towards the attacking Insecticon.

Famous quotes containing the words animated and/or series:
“Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
