Sometimes it's also known as the Command Staff.

Fiction

Live-action film series continuity family

The Fallen carried a Void Scepter, which he used during the battle over the Star Harvester. At the conclusion of his fight with Optimus Prime, the Fallen's weapon was turned against its master and used to impale him, then rip off his faceplate. Revenge of the Fallen

2005 IDW continuity

According to legends, the death god Mortilus carried a Void Scepter, which he used to summon and control Trypticon.

In modern times, Bludgeon fashioned a Void Scepter of his own, inspired and guided by the legends, so that he could control Trypticon for himself. This worked, until it was shattered by Sandstorm, releasing the ancient Cybertronian from Bludgeon's grasp. Salvation

The Scepter was eventually repaired or replaced. A heavily damaged Bludgeon used it to goad Slug into attacking his fellow Dinobots, Sandstorm and Centurion, preparing Cybertron for the return of his "master". The Dead Come Home, Part 1 Bumblebee informed Starscream of what Bludgeon was doing, prompting the Chancellor to shatter the Scepter, freeing Slug. The Dead Come Home, Part 2

Bludgeon had another Void Scepter in his possession by the time he came to command the Decepticon Vengeance Division, using it to control the movements of his Worldsweeper. When the Dinobots boarded the warship, Slug grappled with Bludgeon, the Scepter's power sending the Worldsweeper on a collision course with the White House. The weapon was subsequently shattered and lost on impact. Ceremony

Studio Series

• The Fallen (Leader Class, 2022)

Studio Series Leader Class The Fallen comes with his staff, which can split into two pieces, allowing for display as two hand-held weapons or even to recreate the scene where Optimus Prime snaps it in two to rip off The Fallen's face! Unfortunately, the staff is larger than the usual 5 mm, meaning only the Fallen can hold it properly. However, it does have two 5 mm posts, one at each end, allowing for some use with other figures. The posts are meant for attaching the staff halves onto his spacecraft mode.

Notes

• The Void Scepter went unnamed in its initial appearance in Revenge of the Fallen. At first it was identified as a "command staff", with the other name coming from The Fallen's Hasbro.com bio. It wasn't until IDW 2017 comic The Transformers: Salvation that the scepter as an item was really fleshed out in any fashion.
