Emperor Palpatine
Emperor Palpatine is the feared master of the merciless Darth Vader and a follower of the Dark Side of the Force, being a Sith Master. Much hate rages inside him, which only makes him stronger, even more than the Jedi.
Fiction
Star Wars Transformers
Palpatine rebuilt Darth Vader's body and twisted his mind to the ways of the Sith. As part of this process, the Emperor somehow used the Force to transform into an Imperial Shuttle to transport Darth Vader to the Outer Rim.[1] Once Vader's training as a Sith was complete, he set out into space to crush anyone opposing the Emperor's will.[2]
Later, Darth Vader was on a mission to crush the Rebels and bring young Luke Skywalker before the Emperor.[3] At some point, Emperor Palpatine learnt of a secret gathering of Rebels, and decided to deal with it personally using his Imperial Shuttle mech, now colored black.[4]
Toys
Star Wars Transformers
- Emperor Palpatine/Imperial Shuttle (2007)
- Accessories: Emperor Palpatine figure, tail fin/shield, missile launcher, lightsaber/missile
- Emperor Palpatine's vehicle transforms from an Imperial Shuttle to a giant mech in his image. The shuttle's tail fin can be fitted on his arm as a shield, while Palpatine's red lightsaber can be either held on its own or fired from a missile launcher that can be used as a gun in robot mode. Like all Star Wars Transformers toys, the toy includes a mini-figure of Emperor Palpatine himself to pilot the shuttle.
Crossovers
- Emperor Palpatine/Imperial Shuttle (2008)
- Accessories: Tail fin/shield, missile launcher, lightsaber/missile
- A black redeco of the earlier toy, designed to better resemble Palpatine himself when in robot mode. Released under the Crossovers banner, this version did not include the Emperor Palpatine mini-figure. This version was released at the tail end of the initial Star Wars Crossovers line, shortly before the line was rebranded to bring focus to the Clone Wars animated film and TV series. As a result, it saw incredibly poor distribution.
