Really? Are you sure? I thought they just ignored the matrix completely and didn't become slaves at all. If that is true it opens up some quite cool possibilities.

You could buff up any kind of thuggish commanders with a misc slot. Even including summons like Amphitere, sleepers or bane lords or whatever.
