Abstract: A matroid is

e x t G F (q)

-regular if it is representable over all proper superfields of the field

e x t G F (q)

. We show that, for highly connected matroids having a large projective geometry over

e x t G F (q)

as a minor, the property of

e x t G F (q)

-regularity is equivalent to representability over both

e x t G F (q^{2})

and

e x t G F (q^{t})

for some odd integer

t g e q 3

. We do this by means of an exact structural description of all such matroids.
