Supreme Commander
From Transformers Wiki
During Generation 1, the Supreme Commander (総司令官 Sōshireikan) is the absolute leader of the Autobots and, at first, sole bearer of the Matrix of Leadership. Later, Autobots are appointed the rank of Supreme Commander without having the Matrix passed down to them.
The Supreme Commander rank can be considered the Autobot version of the Decepticon rank of Emperor of Destruction.
By the Beast Era, the rank of Supreme Commander is appointed to high-ranking Maximal generals, usually of Convoy status. The task of ruling over the Maximal race as a whole is the job of the Great Convoys or the Convoy Council.
