~ Sentinel dealing with the Quintesson High Commander. |
The Quintesson High Commander is the overarching antagonist of Paramount Pictures' 2024 animated film Transformers One.
They are the high ranking commander of the Quintesson Army and was in charge of taking Sentinel Prime's energon back to the Quintesson homeworld, Quintessa as part of their bargain.
He is voiced by Chris Cocks.
Description[]
Appearance[]
The Quintesson High Commander is gigantic, towering over the already impressive Sentinel Prime. Their body is covered in dark green plates resembling armor, held together by strands and tendrils. They have an alien-like head with two rectangular red eyes. Their arms are very bulky and are covered in massive spikes. Rather than legs, they have numerous green tentacles attached to the bottom of his torso.
Personality[]
The Quintesson High Commander is a strict and fierce warrior who does not tolerate either failure or betrayal, as shown when torturing Sentinel for not bringing enough energon during one transaction. Just like the other Quintessons, the High Commander despises the Cybertronians and believes them to inferior.
Powers and Abilities[]
As the High Commander, they have authority over lower-ranking soldiers. They are much bigger than Sentinel, who even with his impressive power is easily intimidated by them.
History[]
Past[]
Years before the film, the Quintessons was one of the many aliens that attacked Cybertron, leading to a costly war that killed the 13 Primes after Sentinel, once the Primes' advisor, betrayed them just in favor to become a Prime, save for Alpha Trion, and destroyed the Matrix of Leadership. While it isn't explicitly stated that the Quintesson Warrior was involved in this conflict, his high status coupled with the fact that Quintessons live a long time in most continuities suggest that he was.
After the Quintessons won the war, they struck a deal with Sentinel Prime for a large amount of energon delivered to them, with the Quintesson High Commander overseeing the transaction.
Transformers One[]
The Quintesson High Commander only appeared in one scene. He and his fellow Quintessons have returned to Cybertron to meet up with Sentinel Prime, who presents the energon cubes. However, due to an energon shortage, the Quintesson High Commander was left with only a pitiful amount Energon rather than what they agreed on. Outraged, he grabbed Sentinel Prime with his tendrils and demanded more before sparing Sentinel when he begged that there will be more for them to have. The Quintessons then got back in their ship and left.
He and his fellow Quintessons likely heard the message sent out into space by the newly christened Optimus Prime, who warned them that further incursion into Cybertron would be met with strong resistance by him and Autobots. It isn't known if the warning was heeded, or if the Quintessons would merely alter their existing plan of subjugation.
