Sacred treasure
From MediaWiki

A sacred treasure (神器 jingi, also god item[1] and sacred implement[2]) is an artifact from the oft mysterious past of Cybertron. They brim with supernatural energy and many are used by forces such as Primus and the Quintessons to create "super robot lifeforms", often in the form of Transformers.[3]
Accordingly, many battles and even wars have been fought to obtain them and utilize their wondrous properties.
Artifacts identified as sacred treasures include:
- Vector Sigma[1]
- The Creation Matrix[1]
- The AllSpark[1]
- The Chrono Matrix[4]
Notes
- In Japan, jingi (神器) is a term primarily used to refer to the Three Sacred Treasures, regalia of the Emperor of Japan. The term also finds use in other fictional media for godlike or mystical items.
- As you may have gathered from the media that use this term, it is primarily used by Hirofumi Ichikawa in his works.
- On the Japanese World of the Transformers website, jingi was translated as "GOD ITEM", which sounds a bit awkward in English. MediaWiki initially attempted to localize it as "sacred implement" (which went on to be used by The AllSpark Almanac II) before deciding to align it with pretty much every other translation of the term outside Transformers.
