Transformers sets up the return of a powerful villain Michael at Wasted

Warning! This post contains spoilers for Transformers: One

Transformers one Has an opportunity to bring back a character Michael Bay largely wasted. As seen in Transformers: Last KnightOptimus Prime comes face to face with the supposed creator of the Cybertronians, a new villain for the franchise with connections to more established enemies in the existing Transformers Study. To this end, it is certainly possible that Transformers One’s A sequel could give “Quintesa” some much-needed redemption.

Set long before the Autobots and Decepticons bring their war to Earth, Transformers one Reveals the origins of Orion Pax and D-16, the bots and brothers who would eventually transform into Optimus Prime and Megatron on opposite sides of the Great War of Cybertron. However, the movie also features the ancient enemies of the Transformers known as the Quintessons, whose history dates back to the dawn of Cybertron itself. I have this in mind, It is certainly possible that Transformers one Marks the return of Quintessa, a powerful villain who was largely wasted in Michael Bay’s fifth live-action movie.

Transformers One makes the Quintessons a key part of the future of the franchise

Enemies of Cybertron

in Transformers oneIt is revealed that the Quintessons are a conquering alien race seeking to take over Cyberton and claim its stores of energon. After betraying Cybertron’s greatest heroes and leaders known as the Prime, Sentinel Prime made a secret deal with the multi-tentacled Quintessons in exchange for an uneasy trustThey consistently give large portions of what little Energon Cyberton is able to produce without the matrix of leadership. However, the truth of Sentinel Prime’s treachery was eventually revealed and exposed thanks to Orion Pax, resulting in his death at the hands of D-16 who cemented his corruption in Megatron near the end of Transformers one.

That said, The Quintessons are presumably still there as a key threat to Cybertron. Now that their deal with Sentinel is done, one can imagine they could try to launch a full-scale invasion of the planet in a sequel to Transformers oneCreating a three way war for the planet with the newly created Decepticons led by Megatron and Autobots led by Optimus Prime. It would certainly be very surprising if they are not featured in the future of these Transformers Franchise.

The return of the Quintessons may include introducing Quintessa

revealing their status as the creators of the Transformers

in Transformers oneThe Transformers are said to have been created by the god-like Primus who eventually transformed into the planet Cybertron itself. That said, Other continuities from the past Transformers Projects saw the Quintessons as the true creators of the TransformersHaving originally made them serve as robotic slaves. However, the Transformers eventually rebelled, forced the Quintessons out, and created their own society on Cybertron.

In the end, this seems to be the core idea behind the creation of Quintessa in Michael Bay Transformers: The Last Knight (2017). Claiming to be the “Prime of Life” that created Optimus, Quintessa uses an advanced form of magic to corrupt the leader of the Autobots in Nemesis Prime. Although seemingly meant to relate to the original idea of ​​the Quintessons, Quintessa was more of a singular enemy rather than part of a larger force.. Likewise, Quintessa is also revealed to have survived the conflict of The last nightWhile also establishing ties with the massive Transformers villain known as Unicron.

Michael Bay got Quintessa all wrong in Transformers: The Last Knight

A new character who is not very loyal to the past

It is also worth noting that Quintessa is the name of the Quintessons’ planet in the preceding Transformers Continuities. While she has some similarities to the alien race in The last night (such as with her tentacles), Quintessa was largely a new character created for the Bay film. However, she may have had much more connections to the classic alien race than she did.

Compared to the rest of the established life-combat Transformers Cannon (which isn’t that powerful to begin with), Quintessa’s debut was very much out of left field both for majors Transformers Fans and mainstream audiences alike. This is largely due to the introduction of magic and sorcery to the franchise, which Quintessa wants in The last night As you mean to corrupt Optimus in Nemesis Prime and you aim to drain Earth’s energy for the sake of Cybertron. Likewise, there was almost no mention of where she came from, or her true connections to the Transformers or her claim to be the “prime of life”.

Quintessa’s Return In Transformers One’s Sequel Can Do Her Justice

Become a better face (or faces) of the Quintessons

Essentially, Quintessa was very underutilized in life-combat. It wouldn’t have been hard to keep the creator concept (true or not), and also make Quintessence a central figure leading a larger force of Quintessences to take back Cybertron. It is certainly an idea that connects much better to the previous knowledge. That said, a sequel to Transformers one is currently in development, And it can be The perfect means to bring back a Quintessa who is more faithful to the lore, albeit in animation.

While Quintessons were featured in Transformers oneThere was no mention of them being the Cybertronians’ creators. Primus was said to be their creator before becoming Cybertron. However, it could be a cool twist if the Transformers are revealed to have secret origins in connection with Quintessa. She can be revealed as the leader of the Quintessons and the namesake of their planet, as well as having the classic five faces not seen from The Last Knight’s Quintessa or the Quintessons in Transformers one. either way, There is certainly potential for Quintessa to perhaps get another shot at the sequel too Transformers one.
