- “Optimus Prime, you destroyed your home. Do you seek redemption?”
- ―Quintessa
Quintessa is one of the main antagonists of the 2017 film Transformers: The Last Knight (along with Megatron). She is a Cybertronian sorceress and one of the Creators of the Cybertronian race who are bent on destroying the Earth to revive Cybertron. She will return in the unnamed sequel as one of the main antagonists.
Appearance
Personality
Quintessa started off as cool, collected and benevolent, as she considers Optimus Prime to be one of her finest creations and revered by much of the Cybertronians. However, she turns out to be a cold-hearted, wrathful, manipulative person as she has no qualms in draining Earth's energies to restore Cybertron, even at the cost of killing life on Earth.
Being a powerful sorceress in general, Quintessa is shown to be deluded as she believes that her actions are at best for the survival of Cybertron. She also blames Optimus for the war between the Autobots and Decepticons that ravaged much of Cybertron; even when a furious Optimus pointed out that Megatron (the former apprentice of The Fallen and current leader of the Decepticons) is the one responsible for causing the war in the first place, Quintessa angrily refuses to accept this and instead brainwashes Optimus into doing her bidding.
