Transformers : Stranded lore : The Quintessons!

Ah, the Quintessons! Creators of the Transformers, cowardly traders of the universe, conquers of many worlds, and the users of the outcasted Transformers! (until the triple-changers rebelled and killed nearly every last member of their species.)

(It’s a long read under this one)

Now, let me go out of my way to say this…DO NOT SYMPATHIZE WITH THESE GUYS! NEVER EVER! ESPECIALLY IN THIS UNIVERSE!!

These guys have done many horrible things despite their cowardice, and if I catch any of you being “aw the skrunkly!” I will block you. /hj

And another note, these facts are going to be a mix of several continuites, so if it sounds familiar in some ways, that’s why.

And now, the facts!

The main leader (and still leader to modern times) is Summus [sue-muss]. He’s the oldest one (as leader and still alive), being about 32 Million years old, having been leader since before the Transformers initially rebelled, though not being alive when they were created.

When Sentinel Prime was in power, he made a deal with the Quntessions that he would send their useless workers to be their workers instead, even using their technology to block their functions to be mindless zombies for them. AND to add to that, Sentinel Prime one day was informed that a new class of transformers were being held in a lab by the rebels, and he told them to send them to the Quintessons, not even giving it a slight second glance, which would eventually be their downfall.

The Triple Changers (Octane, AstroTrain, BlitzWing, BroadSide, SandStorm, and Springer), because of their special nature to be great soliders [which Sentiel Prime WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT IF HE WASN’T SITTING ON HIS AFT ALL DAY], their odd completion that comes with having three alt-modes meant that the mind-controlling tech the Quintessons used wouldn’t affect them, but they played along as if they were to find a way out, meeting up in secret. (they only knew BlitzWing wasn’t affected at the time, because he was the quickest to break down and become what we know him as today) But, the tech does still disarm their weapons.

Quintessons are ‘born’ from red giant stars. They have technology that can predict when a nearby star will explode (goes from Red Giant to White Dwarf), so they send out a ship that puts unborn shells into the star, and once the star explodes, they’re shot all over the place and either colonize the planet/world they land on, or make their way to their home planet, Quintessa.

The power of roles in the Quintesson society are (from greatest to worst), Judges, Prosecutor, Scientist, Executioner, and Bailiff. Typically, Judges will rule their society, and tend to live the longest out of them all; But, each judge still has a latter to climb, as nobody will pass Summus until he dies. The most common Quintessons are Executioners, used mostly as soldiers and body guards for the judges.

Quintessons originally made the Transformers to be slaves and create more energon, but once Primus led a rebellion, they were banished, and a forcefield he made kept the Quinessons out for good, and even as Energon freely flowed on their planet, the Quintessons could never get to it, or would be incinerated trying.

They have a game similar to Zuma, both a in-person version as a sport, and an online version that’s basically their version of solitare.

The Seeker is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown. Nobody has gone to find him.

They have a council of judges (5 others, but 6 with Summus) that sometimes reside over trials, but not always, to keep Summus in check and not to overuse his power as their leader. This council also has a habit of switching around servants, and they all treat their servants very differently.

Some lore for TtW :

once chosen to be the disciples of Shiko, they each were gifted a gem, which held a special power that would only be released when the world should truly end. Is that true, and Shiko wasn’t just high out of his mind? We shall see… (maybe not, idk :/)

There is not enough budget for normal art, so keep a small Flowah-centipede

✨Flowatipede✨

Infested Flowahs. All infected people are no longer treatable, and Flowahs is no exception

The virus deforms their bones, but the skin is poorly modified, which causes tears in the shoulders, fingers, elbows, legs, knees and waist

The bones throughout the body are lengthened to make it easier for the mutant to move, climb or hunt. Their bones also become more elastic, which allows them to turn backwards, as well as their torsos

Body features:

1. Large size. All mutants - Flowahs are huge. The huge growth of their species provokes the virus to lengthen the bones and deform them. This works on all large monsters

2. 360° rotation of the head and torso. All Flowahs mutants have tears around their necks and on their waistband due to this feature. They can also turn their head around (how to describe it)

3. Thinness. Flowahs are the only monsters that get such a thin physique when mutated. The virus in their stomach quickly breaks down food, but blocks the production of substances. They cannot get calories or any other substances because of this

4. Mouth. Their mouth is able to open literally all over the face. Their warped jaws can open wide enough to hold one Thorn and 2 Repeaters. Their teeth remained strong enough to bite the bones in half

5. Eyes. They can enlarge and constrict the pupils at will. Magnification allows them to see their target better in the dark, but in the light it can blind them

Tw: Blood, murder, rot and corpses

Flowah is one of the few species of monsters that have adapted to survive in the conditions of some kind of virus. They are strong, agile and fast, as well as quite intelligent, which allows them to deceive mutants

Flowahs are quite strong monsters. They are capable of knocking down a tree or killing Repetilo with a single blow of their hand. They are not too picky about food, so they will eat even a stone. Their jaws are also incredibly strong, so they can crush skulls, rocks, and minerals... Anything!

They have a number of strong poisonous and retractable spines

The disadvantages in their species are that all representatives of this type of monster are blind or visually impaired due to the fact that they often scratch their eyes with the same spikes. Also, they cannot find a good shelter for sleeping or protection. Half of the representatives died due to lack of sleep or simple rest.

How to identify an infected Flowah:

1. Hunger. Flowahs can eat anything they find and get enough of it, but if they don't have enough food and hunger doesn't go away, they run wild and attack monsters or mutants nearby to eat

2. Dilated pupils. All mutant Flowahs can dilate their pupils when hunting, but the infected have no control over this process, as well as the newly transformed

3. Delirium. Some Flowahs, especially those with a weak psyche or mental illness, begin to rave about corpses, rot, insects and similar things

4. Sudden weight loss. This is present in all representatives of the species, despite the features. Sudden weight loss can be very similar to anorexia. With this sign, it is useless to feed the Flowah, as it will not have any effect
