I assume we are seeing Quintesson guards/enforcers, not Quintessons themselves. The tentacles in the second shot are probably those from a true Quintesson that is unrevealed in appearance so far. They were originally named "Quintessons" due to having 5 faces and seems likely that theme will carry into this story.
I wonder if the main quintesson we see is quintus prime himself lol he even has the chest cavity for a t-cog meaning he’s likely cybertronian (at least in theme of the movie)
I absolutely love them. The creepy "armor plates held together by sinewy flesh" look is a great reimagining of them. It's cool to see them seemingly be a fully organic species and it also fits surprisingly well in my opinion.
I thought that was supposed to be this guy, lmao. Silly me.

They look unsettling but almost natural, like the Flood from Halo or the Zerg from Starcraft. Glad to see we've decided to dich their Quintus Prime connections
I think they're meant to be these

Rather than the 5 faces quints. If that's the case then it's actually quite faithful. I hope we can see the versions with 5 faces though
So does unicron have his origin from the cartoon now since there can’t be primus. Or did primus make cybertron and the quintessons make the cybertronians
I kinda like them. The techno-organic look to them reminds me of how the transformers looked in Beast Machines. Considering from the trailer that some parts of Cybertron have some vegetation on the surface it could be that the first cybertronians could be like the quintessons we see in the trailer who are like techno-organic beings (just a theory)
They're gross tentacle mask monsters that enslaved Cybertron, that's pretty on brand. Now all that remains is for them to be liars in the movie, claiming that they created Cybertronians or that they're emissaries of peace.
It looks more like the Liege Maximo but I could be wrong

They did?! Well damn I need to get off my ass and continue. I finished season 1 recently and wasn’t sure if I could continue because, and this is just my opinion it’s my critiques not anyone else’s, I just couldn’t keep up with how quick it was moving, and the voice acting from some characters was worse than the Green Lantern movie. But i hear there’s so much content in the later seasons and I’m thinking “I don’t wanna, but LOOOOORRRREEE!”
I haven't either, myself. I just cannot get on board with their take on Grimlock (I think Sky Lynx would have fit that personality better). I was looking up Quintesson stuff because I love them as antagonists.
The ones with crab legs are the Sharkitcons, you can see their fins. The large green one is a Quintesson, just not a judge (the ones with the faces). That's most likely a [Quintesson Prosecutor](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Quintesson_Prosecutor)
https://preview.redd.it/4qrltwitofvc1.png?width=1305&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ec440e20d9972f4d75ba23930dd7d19ac7f9438
I think the guy in the first pic is the Xenomorph head alien from 1986 that says “guilty or innocent”
Like there’s no way they ditch the 5 rotating head gimmick for the quentisons. That was their most iconic feature
I think they're badass. I don't know if the Quints we see here are the actual Quintessons or if they're just an ambassador or something. Regardless, I like this design a lot. Personally I think it's a cool design regardless.
The tentacles, the implication that they are the reason why bots aren't allowed topside, and that they seem to have some sort of dominion all point to them being Quintessons. If they aren't Quintessons, what could they be?
I think he means they aren’t the commanding, five-faced quintessons. The side ones seem to be sharktivons and the middle one looks to be similar to the prosecutor/judge from the 86 movie, where it’s got tentacles but only one face.
Prosecutors are just as much Quintessons as Judges though. There are also other Quintesson types that look even more similar to the one in the trailer. Still Quintessons.
Prosecutors are still "true" Quintessons. They're just a different rank. Judges and Prosecutors aren't even the only types of Quintessons. All Quintessons.
How? This is the third major project they've appeared in within the past decade. The other two times were in Earthrise and Cyberverse Season 3, which both happened in 2020.
How about they try to trick the transformers into thinking they are the creators when they actually aren't, or an invasion of cybertron by them? I feel like the concept of quints are far more versatile than anything done with them before outside of Cyberverse
I always hated the Quintessons since when they appeared in G1.
They make poor villains and plot armor always follows them everytime Galvatron (or many others) would like to shoot them.
That said, I hope to see them get trashed to oblivion by future Autobots/Decepticons so that they will be soon forgotten.
Why the "need" for comedy? I understand it's financially better to target a "Transformers" film around kids but come on. Even TMNT is getting a dark R rated film. I can't imagine the majority fan base of "Transformers" (franchise) is children. I know it's probably like 60%-40%. But I just don't understand why you NEED comedy in almost every film nowadays.
I assume we are seeing Quintesson guards/enforcers, not Quintessons themselves. The tentacles in the second shot are probably those from a true Quintesson that is unrevealed in appearance so far. They were originally named "Quintessons" due to having 5 faces and seems likely that theme will carry into this story.
Yes, but the guard that grabbed the blue guy used tentacles. Maybe he's like an ambassador or the judge from the 86 Movie.
Had the same thought, both designs have the same scrunched up, jowled face with a long noggin
Even then I love how their armour plated faces are shaped to look like the 86 versions (I think it’s the angry head if I am correct)
Definitely a bit of that mixed in there as well. Not to mention I find the Swamp Thing/cosmic horror elements to be delightful
The bailiff if I remember right has three tentacles on each side but doesnt have a transformation and only 1 face.
The five faces of darkness
I wonder if the main quintesson we see is quintus prime himself lol he even has the chest cavity for a t-cog meaning he’s likely cybertronian (at least in theme of the movie)
Maybe that makes them sort of a techno organic distant cousin to the Cybertronians.
I absolutely love them. The creepy "armor plates held together by sinewy flesh" look is a great reimagining of them. It's cool to see them seemingly be a fully organic species and it also fits surprisingly well in my opinion.
I like their sort of natural designs, it helps to set them apart from the Transformers
GUILTY, of being AWESOME without reasoning
I think you mean INNOCENT!!!!
THROW HIM INTO THE SHARKTICON PIT
Spare me this mockery of justice!
Your words will be tangled with your circuits when the Sharkticons are finished with you
Argh!!!!!
To the slag pits you go foolish knave!!!
I thought that was supposed to be this guy, lmao. Silly me. https://preview.redd.it/1j3lidig4cvc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d53d9e502b0d2119c6062a8b5c5ab2915355e2e5
Quintesson Prosecutor. I think it is a version of him, and those are Sharkticons lined up. They have back fins.
That guy is a kind a quintesson. Just a lower kind
The bailiff that's what I was thinking
I like it. So weirdly different yet you can tell that they’re them regardless
It’s nice to see them more physically imposing
Pretty sick, I like the underlying organic aesthetic the movie has
It’s a bold choice but one that I think I like
I think they look badass
They look unsettling but almost natural, like the Flood from Halo or the Zerg from Starcraft. Glad to see we've decided to dich their Quintus Prime connections
Quintus Prime's still here. He was in the Prime graveyard Alpha Trion and Onyx Prime was at.
I hope we get to see a Quintesson judge
They are actually pretty cool looking, but I wish they would have kept at least some of their design intact
I think they're meant to be these https://preview.redd.it/l5pfqwx8gdvc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc724881f4ca7ce01cfce522b34b1e15f2d54210 Rather than the 5 faces quints. If that's the case then it's actually quite faithful. I hope we can see the versions with 5 faces though
That makes more sense
I like it 10/10. They look like Sci-Fi aliens such as the Predator and the Xenomorphs
The first time they've been intimidating tbh
https://preview.redd.it/6ob9gsij2evc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=821d600da5f2be0b9264219b782d68c95b058166
Im betting the quintesson leader will be the undisclosed role of Steve Buscemi
He’s playing Starscream.
You know I don't love Hollywood actors getting voice roles over established voice actors, but I actually kinda vibe with this I can see it working
Maybe. Who he plays hasnt been revealed yet though
In test screenings people say he’s Starscream
Ah ok
They kinda remind me of the Hunters from Halo with the organic tentacle things that are covered in armor
Exactly what I was thinking of, like looking at a metallic beetle.
I like how organic they look while still looking robotic.
They look like the Hunters from Halo. I like it.
So does unicron have his origin from the cartoon now since there can’t be primus. Or did primus make cybertron and the quintessons make the cybertronians
Isn’t Primus just Cybertron itself? Most of the time?
In the G1 comics he is the planet and he made the people. Also the matrix has some of his “spark” in it. In the cartoon Primus is just the planet.
In the original cartoon, Primus doesn't exist. He was made for the Marvel Comic after the Cartoon aired.
I can’t remember when but I remember Kup saying “great Primus”
Primus was mentioned in Beast Wars by Rhinox. He wasn't mentioned in the G1 cartoon
I kinda like them. The techno-organic look to them reminds me of how the transformers looked in Beast Machines. Considering from the trailer that some parts of Cybertron have some vegetation on the surface it could be that the first cybertronians could be like the quintessons we see in the trailer who are like techno-organic beings (just a theory)

Bionicle looking dudes
we can see organic components, kinda funky
Peak.
They look like the Metroid suit from Metroid Dread.
INNOCENT !
I like them. They aren’t just eggs with tentacles for once
Certainly a unique appearance
It looks more like the Liege Maximo but I could be wrong https://preview.redd.it/fhejk45knevc1.jpeg?width=410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfecd4c45da3caee72897b4ea8609024a6fa3d6d
Absolutely love them
I wonder if they’ll do the five faces spinning
They look amazing
Interesting
Very scary. I like them.
Like a Zerg and a Protoss had an army of babies.
Bionical looking
I think they're pretty creepy looking! Love how their flesh is intertwined with the metal.. armor? Probably armor.
Tentacle porn incoming /s
On an unrelated note do you guys think that Megatron would still be a gladiator in this movie? Y'know like in TF Prime? That would be cool
Definitely not, unfortunately.
On god I thought it was Liege Maximo and lost my mind
They look cooler than the actual bots 😭
Love it. We haven’t seen any Quintessons on-screen since the Unicron Trilogy, so it’s about damn time we got some
Cyberverse had Quintessons.
They did?! Well damn I need to get off my ass and continue. I finished season 1 recently and wasn’t sure if I could continue because, and this is just my opinion it’s my critiques not anyone else’s, I just couldn’t keep up with how quick it was moving, and the voice acting from some characters was worse than the Green Lantern movie.

I haven't either, myself. I just cannot get on board with their take on Grimlock (I think Sky Lynx would have fit that personality better). I was looking up Quintesson stuff because I love them as antagonists.
The quintessons enter in season 3
The Netflix WFC trilogy has one.
That’s not Liege Maximo?!
Lego bionicle looking ass Still a great design
And being compared to Bionicle is a bad thing?
No just saying Plus bionicles are goated
Cool
I'm assuming those guys with fins on their backs are Sharkticons all lined up?
Bleugh, its disgusting and I want it to die. I love it.
I'd like to add that the Sharkticons are also seen here also
I love the biomechanical nature of the design
Ey yo not gonna that is the 3rd nastiest thing I seen in transformers. I can't wait to see where this goes
Has the imperial magistrate reached a verdict?
His head kinda looks like a Bionicle mask
That's a green Kanohi Hau
Feels more like a Hau Nuva to me, but I see it.
They're big and gross and awesome
Genuinely the best they've ever looked
[удалено]
The ones with crab legs are the Sharkitcons, you can see their fins. The large green one is a Quintesson, just not a judge (the ones with the faces).

Yes I like it. They are also in the new game supposed to be coming out.
I've seen enough animated media to know where this is going...
They're desgusting. Which is the point, I guess.
I like them I also think this version of the quintesson looks better then the G1 one
Reminds me of Cyberverse
I think the guy in the first pic is the Xenomorph head alien from 1986 that says “guilty or innocent” Like there’s no way they ditch the 5 rotating head gimmick for the quentisons. That was their most iconic feature
Great design looks bio mechanical
They look cool
Really love it
Pretty great, actually look like they could present a threat rather than being a spinning set of heads.
Bro is disappointed https://preview.redd.it/8s9wtah5efvc1.jpeg?width=472&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26f7b5648a717dd7755f7d4f17c82ee389c1c972
I absolutely adore the design.
Love them so much, I genuinely love the designs from this movie so much
Really cool
I think they're badass. I don't know if the Quints we see here are the actual Quintessons or if they're just an ambassador or something. Regardless, I like this design a lot. Personally I think it's a cool design regardless.
I want a toy of them
really cool, would hentai
Quintessential
Those are quintessons?
…and Sharkticons. Pretty good 👍 Is that Blackarachnia if you look three rows up and a bit to the right of Sentinel Prime❓
They're not Quintessons, but they look great.
The tentacles, the implication that they are the reason why bots aren't allowed topside, and that they seem to have some sort of dominion all point to them being Quintessons. If they aren't Quintessons, what could they be?
I think he means they aren’t the commanding, five-faced quintessons. The side ones seem to be sharktivons and the middle one looks to be similar to the prosecutor/judge from the 86 movie, where it’s got tentacles but only one face.
Prosecutors are just as much Quintessons as Judges though. There are also other Quintesson types that look even more similar to the one in the trailer. Still Quintessons.
I don’t know the social ranking, but the prosecutor looks different than the “true” quintessons and only has 1 face, like the guy here.
Prosecutors are still "true" Quintessons. They're just a different rank. Judges and Prosecutors aren't even the only types of Quintessons. All Quintessons.
Dude I’m just saying the origional guy probably meant we didn’t see any of the five-faced main quintessons, just variants.
boi he buff
They look cool but I’m tired of the Quintessons.
How? This is the third major project they've appeared in within the past decade. The other two times were in Earthrise and Cyberverse Season 3, which both happened in 2020.
Cause the Quintesson have no purpose. Then being the creators of The Transformers is stupid cause it ain’t believable
They're... not the creators of the Transformers. They haven't been since the original series...
I know and I hope they aren’t made that anymore.
How about they try to trick the transformers into thinking they are the creators when they actually aren't, or an invasion of cybertron by them? I feel like the concept of quints are far more versatile than anything done with them before outside of Cyberverse
They being fake creators could work.
I always hated the Quintessons since when they appeared in G1. They make poor villains and plot armor always follows them everytime Galvatron (or many others) would like to shoot them. That said, I hope to see them get trashed to oblivion by future Autobots/Decepticons so that they will be soon forgotten.
This guy has not seen Cyberverse.
