Staff of Merlin

The Staff of Merlin is a type of technology from the The Last Knight portion of the live-action film continuity family.

"You're welcome!"

A device of great power originally owned by Quintessa to wield control over the planet Cybertron, the artifact later became known as the Staff of Merlin. The Staff was a device created long ago, it's original owner Quintessa could use it to literally drain the "Life Force" of other worlds to restore Cybertron, or simply destroy that planet. The Staff can be Bonded to a particular being, and so at that point could only be used by that person, or someone of that bloodline. The staff can also preform other abilities, giving it's user the ability to wield advanced science beyond the comprehension of "primitive" beings. The staff can also disguise itself as a primitive looking staff, until a person with the ability to wield it could pick it up. It could also shrink in size for smaller beings to hold or use it.

The Last Knight

Long ago in the distant Past, Quintessa the self proclamed "creator" of the Cybertronian Race desired to use the Staff for nefarious purposes. Upon Discovering this, the Twelve Guardian Knight's of Iacon stole the Staff and took it with them on their search to find worthy allies on another world. By the Fifth Century C.E., the Knights had crash Landed on Earth where their existence would be kept secret by the "Wizard" Merlin. However in the year 484, an Invasion of Camelot by the Saxons had led to King Arthur requesting Merlin's help to win the battle. Merlin pleaded with the Knights to help turn the tide, his words would help the Knights decide that humanity was worthy and granted Merlin the Staff, which bonded to his DNA.

After Dragonstorm defeated the Saxons, Merlin would use the staff's abilities to conjure "Magic" in many future battles, or at least that's what humanity comprehended it to be.
