""Flux" is probably a reference to the famous Flux Capacitor used in the De Lorean time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy." lol no, flux is just a real word. | Nalana  Darkling  |  19:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if it WAS a reference to the Flux Capacitor. It's not like it's obscure. SarielV [[Image:User SarielV sig.png|20 x 20px]] 02:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Hurts everyone now
At least as of today, the filled Flux Matrix hurts players, etc. when dropped. I have no idea if this is intended or a bug, but it confused the hell out of me when doing The Elusive Golemancer. If someone knows where to ask about this and could do so, that'd be great. Capcom 12:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll mention it on the bug page... thanks for the catch MrPaladin talk 12:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * yeah i get dmg now too, didnt had that before Infested Hydralisk  18:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I went from a 6% morale boost to 24% death penalty because of this thing. I actually used to like using the Flux Matrix on the 'Indestructible' Golem, but now its more of a punishment than anything. - Ara ~ A R A ~ 20:53, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Flux capasitor
Any trivia relate to the flux capasitor from the "Back to the future" movie series... 1.21 Jigawatts seems like a huge amount. I am aware however that flux is a common term in physics and it may just be a direct relation to the term... MrPaladin talk 19:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For the record, "Jigawatts" is a funky pronounciation of "Gigawatts" (see here). Also, 1.21 Gigawatts - thought at the time of making of the Back to the Future series to be a large amount of power - is, in fact, not all that much. Sure, it's a large amount, but nowhere near as hard to create as they thought: the producers just wanted something that sounded impressive. Anyway, no, I don't think there's a huge correlation there. Sorry. It was an amusing thought, though. --[[Image:User_Timeoffire45_sig.jpg]]  Timeoffire45  18:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Giga- (jiga, Soft G sound in front) was the original pronunciation of the word (decades and centuries before BTTF) before the Hard G version became popularized (when computers -- and storage mediums -- started having GB of storage). In some dictionaries, both versions are still used and suggested. Oh yeah... flux capicitor. -- Cybertronian 67.91.97.130 03:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC).

Transformers - too wide a stretch to be a nod?
I guess it's just my imagination, being a fan of TF, but the Flux Matrix seems vaguely similar to the Transformers Matrix of Leadership (previous to the live-action movies!). Also, the fact that only the unstable energy contained within can kill the Golem is similar to the old TF Movie, where the Matrix was used to destroy Unicron, who could not be killed otherwise. Though I suppose it's mere coincidence. --Cyberman 19:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It could be a coincidence, but I don't think so, and neither did a contributor for one of the Lab Space/Elusive Golemancer pages. The fact that the handholds are arranged around a spark-like energy matrix seems to support this. -- Cybertronian 67.91.97.130 04:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC).
