- The Quintesson Cruiser is a starship class from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Quintesson Cruiser is the quintessential Quintesson spacecraft, and it is often simply referred to as "the" Quintesson Ship.
The Quintesson Cruiser spins on its axis as it moves through space. Though its unique design means it's best served by a planetary starbase with a cradle capable of receiving it, the Quintesson Cruiser is capable of burrowing tail first into the ground and balancing with the aid of a landing stabilizers.
The most physically massive of the Quintesson spacecraft, the Quintesson Cruiser dwarfs the Autobot Sky Lynx, and has a docking bay large enough to accommodate a Quintesson Warship.
The Quintesson Cruiser is equipped with energy cannon, a sophisticated broadcasting array and a camouflage unit that can engulf the ship in an innocent-looking cosmic dust cloud.
Careful though, or you'll put someone's eye out.
