Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Transformers: One
Transformers One it has the opportunity to bring back Michael Bay’s largely wasted character. As seen in Transformers: The Last KnightOptimus Prime comes face to face with the supposed creator of the Cybertronians, a new villain in the franchise with ties to more entrenched enemies in the existing world. Transformers knowledge. To this end, it is certainly possible that Transformers One’s a sequel could give Quintessa some much-needed redemption.
The story takes place long before the Autobots and Decepticons brought their war to Earth. Transformers One reveals the origins of Orion Pax and D-16, the bots and brothers who eventually evolved into Optimus Prime and Megatron on opposite sides of Cybertron’s Great War. However, the film also features ancient enemies of the Transformers known as the Quintessons, whose history dates back to the dawn of Cybertron itself. With this in mind, it is of course possible that Transformers One features the return of Quintessa, a powerful villain who was largely wasted in Michael Bay’s fifth live-action film.
Transformers One makes Quintessons a key part of the franchise’s future
Enemies of Cybertron
IN Transformers OneIt was revealed that the Quintessons are an alien conquering race seeking to capture Cyberton and take possession of its energon reserves. Following the betrayal of Cybertron’s greatest heroes and leaders known as the Primes, Sentinel Prime made a secret deal with the multi-tentacled Quintessons in exchange for an uneasy truce.consistently giving them large portions of what little energon Cyberton could produce without the Matrix of Leadership. However, the truth of Sentinel Prime’s betrayal was eventually revealed and revealed thanks to Orion Pax, leading to his death at the hands of D-16, cementing his corruption in Megatron near the end Transformers One.

Nevertheless, The Quintessons apparently still exist and pose a key threat to Cybertron.. Now that their deal with Sentinel is complete, one can imagine that they might attempt to launch a full-scale invasion of the planet in the sequel Transformers Onecreating a three-way war for the planet with the newly created Decepticons led by Megatron and the Autobots led by Optimus Prime. Of course, it would be very surprising if they were not shown in the future Transformers franchise.
The Quintessons’ return may include the introduction of Quintessa
Revealing their status as creators of Transformers
IN Transformers OneThe Transformers are said to have been created by the god-like Primus, who eventually evolved into the planet Cybertron itself. Nevertheless, other continuities from the past Transformers projects viewed the Quintessons as the true creators of the Transformers.initially forcing them to serve as robot slaves. However, the Transformers eventually rebelled, drove out the Quintessons, and created their own society on Cybertron.
In this sense, this seems to be the main idea behind the creation of Quintessa in Michael Bay’s novel. Transformers: The Last Knight (2017). Claiming to be the “Flour of Life” who created Optimus, Quintessa uses an advanced form of sorcery to transform the Autobot leader into Nemesis Prime. Although Quintessa would seem to fit into this original idea of ​​the Quintessons, she was more of an individual enemy than part of a greater force.. Likewise, Quintessa is revealed to have survived the conflict The Last Knightand also forges ties with the massive Transformers villain known as Unicron.
Michael Bay misunderstood Quintessa in Transformers: The Last Knight
A new character who wasn’t very faithful to the past
It’s also worth noting that Quintessa is the name of the Quintesson planet in previous Transformers continuity. Although she has some similarities with the alien race in The Last Knight (for example, with her tentacles), Quintessa was very much a new character created for Bay’s film.. However, she could have many more connections to the classic alien race than she actually does.

Compared to other established live action games Transformers canon (which isn’t that reliable to begin with), Quintessa’s debut was very unusual for both the majors and the majors. Transformers both fans and the general audience. This is largely due to the introduction of magic and witchcraft, which Quintessa wields, into the franchise. The Last Knight as her means of transforming Optimus into Nemesis Prime and her goals of draining Earth’s energy for the sake of Cybertron. Likewise, there was almost no information about where she came from, her true connections to the Transformers, or her claim that she was the “Prime of Life”.
Quintessa’s return in the Transformers One sequel could do her justice
Become the best face (or faces) of the Quintessons
In fact, Quintessa was used very little in live performances. It wouldn’t be hard to stick with the creator concept (whether that’s true or not) while simultaneously making Quintessa the central figure leading a larger force of Quintessions to take back Cybertron. This idea certainly relates much better to existing knowledge. So to speak, continuation Transformers One currently under development, and this could be the perfect way to bring back Quintessa, who is more faithful to the lore, albeit in animation.
While the Quintessons were featured in Transformers Onethere was no mention of them being the creators of the Cybertronians. It is said that Primus was their creator before he became Cybertron. However, it could be a big twist if it’s revealed that the Transformers have a secret origin tied to Quintessa.. She may be shown as the leader of the Quintessons and the namesake of their planet, but she will also have the classic five faces that have never been seen before. The Last Knight Quintessa or Quintessons in Transformers One. Anyway, Quintessa definitely has the potential to get another chance in a sequel Transformers One.
Transformers One is now playing in cinemas.
