Talk:Quintessa (TLK)
Um, how do we know she's a transformer? Yeah, she has the eyes but I don't think that's proof enough. We don't know much about her origin...unless it was mentioned in a tie-in matieral.--Primestar3 (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2017 (EDT)
- She calls herself a Prime, so without anything else to go on, I assume she's Cybertronian. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:13, 3 July 2017 (EDT)
- I thought that was a self-given title. Plus, she's the "great deciever", remember?
- I just don't think there's enough evidence.--Primestar3 (talk) 13:35, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
- I came across an article on CBR, seen here, that refers to Quintessa from The Last Knight as one of the Creators glimpsed in Age of Extinction. That same article confirms that Quintessa and the Creators are Quintessons. --NexusShard17 (talk) 13:22, 18 January 2021 (EST)

Quintessa and Quintus
[edit]I would like to make note of the fact that Quintessa claiming to be the Prime of life in the latest film is a pretty clear parallel to Quintus Prime. Quintus Prime in the Aligned continuity is the Prime dedicated to creating new life, his section of the Covenant of Primus makes this clear, his artifact the Emberstone is basically a mcguffin for making lifeforms on new worlds, and with the Power of the Primes line we get Hasbro's tag for Quintus - Seeder of Life.
Quintus Prime is the Prime of life in our post-singularity franchise. Now obviously with the end of multiversal Primes each continuity is free to deviate. I think it's pretty obvious that despite being female instead of male and bad rather than good, Quintessa like Quintus is a Quintesson throwback, an ancient being from Cybertron's beginning, and evidently the Prime of life. Officially we can't say she is an iteration of Quintus Prime within a Tyran universal stream, but surely we can make note of the parallels being pretty on the nose. She, a supposed great deceiver, could turn out to be a total liar and it'd still be worth mentioning that the character's concept relates to Quintus.--Iustitia (talk) 01:21, 20 January 2018 (EST)
