Do you remember the Transformers
cartoons? How these robots could change from one form to another when needed –
just in time to do the job at hand. Well I want to tell you that there is a way
that you can carry two ballpoint pens, a highlighter, a stylus, a fountain pen
and/or a roller-ball around with you, by using a multi-pen that seems to have a
little bit of Transformer blood running through its veins. I am talking about
the Cross Matrix
multi-pen. You won’t even need a pocket-protector to carry all this gear!

When you first see the Matrix, it simply looks like a cool, fat, silver pen with black rubber accents. You might be tempted to dismiss it as such, but if you did you would be missing out on something interesting.

There are so many choices when using the Matrix that I almost feel embarrassed wishing for one more writing tip: a mechanical pencil. I honestly don’t know where a mechanical pencil would even fit – |

The Matrix is a thick pen, yet it is not heavy. In my hand it was surprisingly comfortable, and the rubbery surface of the black plastic bottom felt good while writing. This pen measures 6" (15.2cm) long The pocket-clip is nice and fat, which is great for storing it in your

The Matrix is expensive – there is no way to get around that. But it is also
a very high quality writing implement from a very respected company. I like
using it, and I have to tell you that although I am no expert on fountain pens,
this one is so easy to use that I have discovered that I quite like the
experience.

Hi! I’ve been trying to find this pen to buy it for almost a year, but I’m from Argentina and seems to be very few of them in here. Do you know where could I buy it and how much would it cost to me (including delivery)? I hope you could answer me even if you don’t sell this pen. Thaks a lot for this page, it was realy useful to me.
This is reminiscent of Transformers:
