Guardians of the courtrooms on [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], the '''Quintesson Bailiffs''' are one of many types of evil [[Quintesson]]s.

===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
During the time when the Quintessons controlled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], a Bailiff, [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]] and [[Quintesson Executioner|Executioner]] were watching a gladiatorial match when one of the combatants attacked them. The Quintessons were all later forced to flee the planet after their [[Transformer|own creations]] rose up against them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

During the Quintesson court sessions on [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], Bailiffs escorted prisoners from the cells to the courtroom before standing on platforms on either side of the accused. This was demonstrated for [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] when a pair of Bailiffs dragged [[Kranix (G1)|Kranix]] from the neighboring cell. The Bailiffs later fled along with the Judge after [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] turned the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s against their masters. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} After [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and Kup were captured, a group of Bailiffs and an [[Allicon]] escorted them from the cells along with Judge [[Deliberata]]. They were overpowered by their own prisoners, who took Deliberata prisoner and headed for the courtroom. Two more Bailiffs there aimed their weapons at the escapees, however the Judges present solved the problem by sentencing both the prisoners and Deliberata to death. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}

===Controverse===
Bailiffs guarded [[Primacron]] during his trial on [[Millaath]]. They were taken aback along with the presiding [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]], [[Adveraros]], when Primacron turned the tables on the Quintessons by taking control of their [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|Controverse}}

At least one Bailiff was trapped in a time warp for some time till he finally escaped with his brethren to [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], where they fought against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before retreating. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}} The Bailiff served the Judge at the [[Mother Computer]] when the Quintessons worked to seize control of Earth's [[Angolmois Energy]]. They provided support for their [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in the field by sending the [[Terrorbreaster]]. {{storylink|Abominus comic 1}} After the Judge turned on [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], the human uploaded his mind into [[Neo Autobot X]], who defeated the Bailiff. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

*'''Quintesson Pit of Judgement''' (2020)
**''Accessories:'' Ax, mace, tail-sword

: The "Quintesson Bailiff" is a [[retool]]ing of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class [[Allicon#Toys|Allicon]] with a new robot head, robot chest, upper beast head, and shoulders, transforming into a bipedal alligator-like thing. Along with the tail-sword, it comes with two new weapons, a double-bladed ax and a mace, which can connect to form the animation model's staff-thing.

: It also comes in a brownish-green deco based on [[:File:Quintbailiff anime.png|a fan-colored character model previously uploaded to the wiki]], which was based on a poor DVD master of the movie that misrepresented the Baliff's color scheme.

: Because of how the new shoulders are shaped, the Baliff has more restricted outward arm movement than the Allicon in robot mode.

: This toy was only available in the "Quintesson Pit of Judgement" box set, along with redecos of the [[Quintesson Judge#Pit|Quintesson Judge]], [[Sharkticon (species)#War For Cybertron Trilogy|Sharkticon]], and brand-new mini-figures of the [[Quintesson Prosecutor#Toys|Quintesson Prosecutor]] and [[Kranix (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Kranix]]. It was available first for people who attended the Hasbro Fans Expo in [[Hong Kong]] and preordered the set. It was later made a [[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]] [[exclusive]] in the United States and Canada (except for Quebec), available to Premium members on [[September 23]] 2020, then opened up to all members on [[September 24|the 24th]], where it sold out, went to pre-orders for more, then sold out of pre-orders within a few short hours despite a (stated) 1-per-customer limit.{{--}}
