	Under unknown circumstances, Pentius's ship crashed on [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], causing him to be trapped under debris. He spent several hundred years with nothing to do but use the ship's computers to study the geography of the planet. That changed one fateful day when [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] entered the wreckage in search of shelter. Introducing himself as a fellow "king without a throne", Pentius told the [[Decepticon]] there was only one way off-world, but warned him that the path was so perilous that one has to become a monster to survive. Megatron freed the Quintesson to serve as his guide across the planet, simultaneously putting him in chains to make it clear he was nothing but a slave. {{storylink\|Faces of Darkness}}		Under unknown circumstances, Pentius's ship crashed on [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], causing him to be trapped under debris.

He then saw fit to tell Megatron of Junkion's past as a rich and plentiful world, doomed by its inhabitants' hubris, and warn him not to let the same thing happen to his own planet. He was pleased when Megatron's response was that he'd utterly dominate [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] and create an everlasting empire. {{storylink\|Fallout (issue)\|Fallout}} Arriving at their destination, the [[Pillar of Rust]], Pentius and Megatron were met by the [[Terrorcon (G1)\|Terrorcons]], on a mission to destroy their former leader. As Megatron fought a losing battle against [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)\|Hun-Gar]], the Quintesson began to goad his companion, calling him weak and taunting his imminent death, causing Megatron to turn on him and rip out his [[spark]] to use as fuel. As he lay dying, the Quintesson expressed pride in his "student"'s actions, believing he had now become truly monstrous. Megatron responded with some level of respect, telling Pentius his legacy of hate would live on with him. {{storylink\|Prey (issue)\|Prey}}

	Megatron kept Pentius's spark with him and later inserted part of it into the body of [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]], causing the ancient beast to be resurrected. {{storylink\|Belly of the Beast (issue)\|Belly of the Beast}} Trypticon inherited the late Quintesson's intelligence and memories, causing their minds to blend together into one, though Pentius claimed his memories had become confused and jumbled among Trypticon's own. Part of his spark remained intertwined with Megatron's own, creating a special link that allowed the Decepticon leader to view Trypticon/Pentius's memories. {{storylink\|Primacy issue 1\|Primacy #1}} As Megatron continued his war with the Autobots, however, the consciousness of Pentius revealed that he had been manipulating the Decepticon so that ''he'' could devour Cybertron using Trypticon's body. {{storylink\|Primacy issue 3\|Primacy #3}} Realizing his mistake in trusting the Quintesson, Megatron rushed to remove his spark from the temporarily fallen Trypticon, only to be hindered by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]]. He then tried to convince Prime to kill him, believing the death of his spark would destroy Pentius's as well, but Prime realized something was wrong and instead unleashed the healing light of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] upon Megatron, successfully burning away all traces of Pentius's malevolent spark from his body. What happened to the remains of Pentius's consciousness within Trypticon is unknown. {{storylink\|Primacy issue 4\|Primacy #4}}		Megatron kept Pentius's spark with him and later inserted part of it into the body of [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]], causing the ancient beast to be resurrected. {{storylink\|Belly of the Beast (issue)\|Belly of the Beast}} Trypticon inherited the late Quintesson's intelligence and memories, causing their minds to blend together into one, though Pentius claimed his memories had become confused and jumbled among Trypticon's own.
