	At least three Quintesson Prosecutors operated a base on [[Titan (moon)\|Titan]]. They enslaved the [[Terrorcon (G1)\|Terrorcons]] using an Automatic Timer to prevent them from staying as [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]] long-term. These Quintessons made a deal with [[Human]] free trader [[Dirk Manus]] to deliver them the [[Recreator]], as it was "crucial to their operations in the [[Solar_System\|Solar System]]". Multiple double-crosses ensued until in one final double-cross, Manus set Computron on the Quintessons and they retreated without the Recreator.

	A Prosecutor was on duty during the trials of [[Arblus]]. When [[Kranix (G1)\|Kranix]] was dragged out, the Prosecutor promised sentencing for [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Kup]] would come soon. When the [[Autobot]]s were brought before the [[Quintesson Judge\|Judge]], the Prosecutor offered them the chance to beg for their lives, though warning that it didn't often help. Upon being dropped into the [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticon]] pit, the Autobots managed to create a whirlpool effect to escape and engaged the Sharkticons on dry land. As the Prosecutor raged at the Sharkticons, the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]] broke in, the door falling onto and pinning the Prosecutor. {{storylink\|The Transformers: The Movie}}		A Prosecutor was on duty during the trials of [[Arblus]].

	A Prosecutor served as the Commander of the [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticons]] on [[Quintesson Scientist]] [[Inquirata (G1)\|Inquirata]]'s expidition to retrieve [[Alpha Trion ~~(G1)~~\|A-3]] from the past using their [[Time Window]].

	At least three Quintesson Prosecutors operated a base on [[Titan (moon)\|Titan]]. They enslaved the [[Terrorcon (G1)\|Terrorcons]] using an Automatic Timer to prevent them from staying as [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]] long-term. These Quintessons made a deal with [[Human]] free trader [[Dirk Manus]] to deliver them the [[Recreator]], as it was "crucial to their operations in the [[Solar_System\|Solar System]]". Multiple double-crosses ensued until in one final double-cross, Manus set Computron on the Quintessons and they retreated without the Recreator.
