Actually, if we use the Optimus from the original animated series, the Matrix of Leadership IS a part of Prime's arsenal as the Matrix is what made him (and others before him) a prime. After passing the Matrix to Hot Rod in the animated movie, you see his instant physical change to Rodimus Prime, so there is significant integration at work. While it was Rodimus, rather than Optimus, that used the Matrix to destroy Unicron, it would have been the same result if Optimus had used it.

So....using Unicron as a measuring stick for the level of power the Matrix can unleash, we can make some comparisons. Unicron was as big as a planet. He ate ENTIRE planets for energy and fuel. The Power of the Matrix destroyed his entire body, leaving only his head. Lets say Godzilla is the size of the Empire State Building. That's not even as big as one of Unicron's teeth. While I dearly love my green skinned, Tokyo stomping, fusion breathed buddy Godzilla, there is no way he could survive Optimus unleashing the power of the Marrix on him. It would not only destroy Godzilla (and Godzuki) but it would also obliterate most of the Earth as well.

Optimus + Matrix of Leadership = Total Annihilation
