Notes

• Marvel's The Transformers Universe referred to this kind of Quintesson as a "Gatekeeper", suggesting the design was created specifically for a scene that wound up being deleted from the film, in which a Quintesson standing watch at the gate to their citadel sent the Dinobots (searching for Hot Rod and Kup) off in the wrong direction. With the deletion of this scene, the design was instead used for the Quintesson who throws the switch that sends Arblus plumetting into the Sharkticon pit, earning them the fan-designation of "Executioner," which later found its way into official use.

Foreign names
