'''Quintessa''', or '''Quintesson''', is the home planet of the [[Quintesson]]s. It is also home to various deadly robotic creatures, all as twisted and malevolent as the Quintessons themselves. Quintessa has a tendency to be destroyed, with the Quintessons creating themselves a [[New Quintessa]] somewhere else in the universe.<br />

Kup and Hot Rod narrowly escaped death at the tentacles of a giant squid, but escaped only to be captured by [[Allicon|Allicons]]. While imprisoned, they encountered [[Kranix]], last survivor of [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]], who managed to warn them of [[Unicron]] before he was tried and executed by the Quintessons. The Autobots were also tried and sentenced to death. but fought their way out of the Sharkticon pit and, with the aid of the Dinobots and their new ally [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], defeated the Sharkticons and turned the surviving creatures against their masters. Stealing a Quintesson ship, the Autobots escaped the planet. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}<br />

Shortly afterwards, Kup, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] were kidnapped from the [[Galactic Olympics]] and taken to Quintessa, where they were tried and sentenced to death. Before they could be devoured, Hot Rod, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]], [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] mounted a daring rescue. Determined to destroy the Autobots, the Quintessons evacuated the planet and initiated its self-destruct sequence. While Quintessa was blown to atoms, the Autobots survived. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}<br />

''In 2008, the Quintesson homeworld was swallowed up by a time-space fault that was the result of [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s time-travel activities. The Quintessons had planned to turn [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] (or another suitable robot planet) into a new homeworld, but they were unsuccessful. Quintesson was subsequently consumed by a rift in time and space and its survivors were not seen after this point.'' {{storylink|Space Pirates!|Space Pirates!}}<br />

{{note|The planet Quintessa also seemed to appear in orbit around Cybertron in "[[Destined for Nothing|Destined For Nothing]]", but this is, in fact, an ambiguously drawn [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]].}}<br />

*[[Floro Dery]] modeled Quintessa after a skull,<ref>[http://hometown.aol.com/kuest144/making1.html The Making of the Transformers Visual Universe]</ref> presumably one viewed in profile or slightly behind the rear of the skull.<br />
