The Quintesson High Commander is the overarching antagonist of Paramount Pictures 2024 animated film Transformers One. He is the high ranking commander of the Quintesson Army and was in charge of taking Sentinel Prime's energon back to the Quintesson homeworld, Quintessa.
Appearance[]
The Quintesson High Commander is gigantic, towering over the already impressive Sentinel Prime. His body is covered in dark green plates resembling armor, held together by strands and tendrils. He has an alien-like head with two rectangular red eyes. His arms are very bulky and are covered in massive spikes. Rather than legs, he has numerous green tentacles attached to the bottom of his torso.
Personality[]
The Quintesson High Commander is a strict and fierce warrior who does not tolerate failure.
History[]
Past[]
Years before the film, the Quintessons attacked Cybertron, leading to a costly war that killed the 13 Primes after Sentinel, once the Primes' advisor, betrayed them just in favor to become a Prime, save for Alpha Trion, and destroyed the Matrix of Leadership. While it isn't explicitly stated that the Quintesson Warrior was involved in this conflict, his high status coupled with the fact that Quintessons live a long time in most continuities suggest that he was.
After the Quintessons won the war, they struck a deal with Sentinel Prime to have energon delivered to them, with the Quintesson High Commander overseeing the transaction.
Transformers One[]
The Quintesson High Commander only appeared in one scene. He and his fellow Quintessons have returned to Cybertron to meet up with Sentinel Prime, who presents the energon cubes. However, due to an energon shortage, the Quintesson High Commander was left with only less Energon than he asked for. Outraged, he grabbed Sentinel Prime with his tendrils and demanded more before sparing Sentinel when he begged that there will be more for them to have. The Quintessons then got back in their ship and left.
He and his fellow Quintessons likely heard the message sent out into space by Optimus Prime, which warned that further incursion into Cybertron would be met with strong resistance by the Autobots. It isn't known if the warning was heeded, or if the Quintessons would merely alter their existing plan of subjugation.
