Transformers : Stranded lore : The Quintessons!

Ah, the Quintessons! Creators of the Transformers, cowardly traders of the universe, conquers of many worlds, and the users of the outcasted Transformers! (until the triple-changers rebelled and killed nearly every last member of their species.)

(It’s a long read under this one)

Now, let me go out of my way to say this…DO NOT SYMPATHIZE WITH THESE GUYS! NEVER EVER! ESPECIALLY IN THIS UNIVERSE!!

These guys have done many horrible things despite their cowardice, and if I catch any of you being “aw the skrunkly!” I will block you. /hj

And another note, these facts are going to be a mix of several continuites, so if it sounds familiar in some ways, that’s why.

And now, the facts!

The main leader (and still leader to modern times) is Summus [sue-muss]. He’s the oldest one (as leader and still alive), being about 32 Million years old, having been leader since before the Transformers initially rebelled, though not being alive when they were created.

When Sentinel Prime was in power, he made a deal with the Quntessions that he would send their useless workers to be their workers instead, even using their technology to block their functions to be mindless zombies for them. AND to add to that, Sentinel Prime one day was informed that a new class of transformers were being held in a lab by the rebels, and he told them to send them to the Quintessons, not even giving it a slight second glance, which would eventually be their downfall.

The Triple Changers (Octane, AstroTrain, BlitzWing, BroadSide, SandStorm, and Springer), because of their special nature to be great soliders [which Sentiel Prime WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT IF HE WASN’T SITTING ON HIS AFT ALL DAY], their odd completion that comes with having three alt-modes meant that the mind-controlling tech the Quintessons used wouldn’t affect them, but they played along as if they were to find a way out, meeting up in secret. (they only knew BlitzWing wasn’t affected at the time, because he was the quickest to break down and become what we know him as today) But, the tech does still disarm their weapons.

Quintessons are ‘born’ from red giant stars. They have technology that can predict when a nearby star will explode (goes from Red Giant to White Dwarf), so they send out a ship that puts unborn shells into the star, and once the star explodes, they’re shot all over the place and either colonize the planet/world they land on, or make their way to their home planet, Quintessa.

The power of roles in the Quintesson society are (from greatest to worst), Judges, Prosecutor, Scientist, Executioner, and Bailiff. Typically, Judges will rule their society, and tend to live the longest out of them all; But, each judge still has a latter to climb, as nobody will pass Summus until he dies. The most common Quintessons are Executioners, used mostly as soldiers and body guards for the judges.

Quintessons originally made the Transformers to be slaves and create more energon, but once Primus led a rebellion, they were banished, and a forcefield he made kept the Quinessons out for good, and even as Energon freely flowed on their planet, the Quintessons could never get to it, or would be incinerated trying.

They have a game similar to Zuma, both a in-person version as a sport, and an online version that’s basically their version of solitare.

The Seeker is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown. Nobody has gone to find him.

They have a council of judges (5 others, but 6 with Summus) that sometimes reside over trials, but not always, to keep Summus in check and not to overuse his power as their leader. This council also has a habit of switching around servants, and they all treat their servants very differently.

Humans the moment Transformers win against the quintessons.

What IF #3: A little story that show how the “quintenssons” became the worst salesaliens.

If you want see it on Deviantart, you can!

I know it's way too early to start thinking this far ahead, but I just can't help it...

Sentinel gives the entire city a mandatory day off to put on his ego event, then not even a day later he triples everyone's shifts to make up for the lost time.

God, this movie is good.

I went ahead of myself

Back to what I was saying before megpax happened

Orion Pax would know so many things about Cybertron itself and its inhabitants that not even Soundwave nor any of the spies themselves know about.

But also I believe that he would be forced to monitor some of the 'sessions' that went on there. That he would told that he was needed to film some things for the Senate only to find himself in the middle of a crime scene (and sometimes having to participate under the threat of whatever)

He would document history as it plays out and has to release the rather heavily censored versions of those events to the Iacon Hall of Records.

I also like to imagine that he would be so much older in this universe. I'm talking alive since the beginning of the Quintesson age of Cybertron, like he was there for the rise of the Quintessons and the end of it (he was part of the regime that killed them and had garnered quite a reputation there).

During that age, he was able to freely document what the Quintessons were doing and are going to do. He was also able to get into meetings where he would translate, make notes, transcribe their conversations, draft treaties, organize events and parties, record certain things, etc. etc.

He was both a highly-valued soldier and Archivist for them. Because of this, he would also be sent on stealth missions, honey trap his victims, do surveillance, basically all of those black/special ops slag.

However, the problem lay in what the Quintessons were doing to some of the other species, specifically Cybertronians. They would treat them like they were worth nothing, starve them if they disobeyed, use them for their own selfish desires, and drain them of their energon just to give them a fraction of the amount the Quintessons received.

Some of the Cybertronians (the Primes and others), however, didn't care enough of the consequences and chose to lead a rebellion against them.

Now, this is where Orion Pax noticed and did not notify the Quintessons of what they were doing. He believed that they were actually doing the right thing to stand up for themselves.

He gave them weapons, more energon, notes of what they were doing in the meetings, and provided healer training (it was rough since he had little to work with, but he gave them the basics whenever they had common injuries. If he could, then he would also provide them with the proper materials for medical supplies).

When the Quintessons eventually found out, he was close to being executed on the spot when the leader of the entire colony approached the scene and commanded that they don't kill OP because they should break him first.

After that, they kept their promise and tried everything they could to do so. They tore his armor apart from his protoform, deprived him of energon and of any form of sensory, used him, basically torturing him until he almost couldn't take it anymore.

But when they suddenly left him alone one cycle because of a meeting being held, he took that chance to escape from where he was being held (in the chambers). It was eventually found out a couple joors later, and they searched every crevice for any sign of him. But, it was too late, and OP was already halfway there to Iacon.

The Primes, while on patrol, found him in the middle of a clearing, stumbling and in a state of constant agony.

------

With the help of Orion Pax, who proved to be a competent soldier, they won countless battles.

Originally, after recovering enough to fight, Orion had to go through training and ranks all over again. He quickly rose up the ranks and became one of the leading generals (though this didn't really mean much when they were still in the early stages of the war).

He had all of the soldiers trained in Quintesson combat as he was the only one who knew how to. He himself modified almost of them so that they were able to have very powerful weapons to use against them. He trained the rest of them as medics, mediators, translators, etc.

(A few vorns later because I don't know what else to say in this part, okay)

Even though they didn't really have a chance in the beginning, they ended up winning the war.

In the final battle, they were close to giving up because the Quintessons were overwhelming them when Orion Pax came into the scene.

Orion, who wanted revenge for what they did to him, stormed in with powerful machine guns and blades. It was brutality and bloodlust at its finest.

He absolutely decimated every last Quintesson until they were nothing but a field of hollow corpses. After that, he had left on a spaceship for a couple of chords before returning back.

When he came back and Cybertronian society began to rebuild itself, he was there through all of it.

------

Somewhere down the line, some of the Primes turned away from their beliefs and everything else happened.

The caste system was put in place, and everything went to hell afterwards.

The cycle of them turning into oppressors began, and everymech suffered as a result.

The Pits, which was originally friendly sparring, turned into a bloodsport. Iacon, which was a place of fighting and violence, turned into the main source of the oppressive high-caste mechs and architecture. Kaon, once a place of the arts, became too dangerous for once to go alone unless you were born in it. Tarn, known for its beautiful architecture and wildlife, became the source of Cybertron's minerals and had abandoned buildings. Other cities had not yet formed until several vorns down the line.

Orion Pax, who had dreams of living a peaceful life and not surviving yet another horrific cycle on the battlefield, realized that it was all for nothing, now that they were destroying themselves from the inside.

He only wishes for this to end peacefully (in the back of his mind, he only knows that this is wishful thinking).

He meets Megatronus and Soundwave, helps with their cause while also trying not to give anything away from his past (he slips up a couple of times, and it messes with his mind that he can't tell them, no matter how much they insist), and everything else goes almost exactly how it did in canon.

«Let's make peace and deal with our sworn enemies together!»
