My favored representation of the Immobilizer is a (horse shoe) magnet. A simple shape, easy to recognize, easy to put on a pedestal to make it into a Chess piece, and a good mnemonic for something that holds other pieces in place.

For the coordinator I prefer a dish antenna, (or the more rectangular version used for radar, usually revolving), symbolizing action at a distance.
