Talisman of the Fallen

Seen on Lord Vader’s display case here is a talisman that is ‘Cybertronian’ in nature. I call it the Talisman of the Fallen.

Hasbro did release a Star Wars - Transformers crossover toy line sometime back. This is a nod to that official toy line, and a reaffirmation of such a ‘Shared Universe.’
We may never truly know the exact nature of relationship the Empire had with the Cybertronians. But Lord Vader did pilot a transforming TIE Fighter and a transforming Sith Starfighter, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! Even Unicron, during that period scanned and took form of the Death Star!

The Talisman of the Fallen is made of metal (and cannot be made of anything else) to symbolize Cybertronian Metal – metal that makes up the Transformers, and is used to call upon the ‘ghosts’ of the fallen Transformers.

The Talisman is also the embodiment of the element Metal on the ritual altar (the others being Candle for Fire, Elixirs for Water, Lightdagger for Air, and the Parchment Paper containing the Sith Code, for Earth).
