Description The first Beyondverse ref sheet in this New Year will be the tenth member of the Thirteen Primes and the creator of the Quintessons--Quintus Prime!!!

In the Beyondverse, I reimagined Quintus Prime as non-binary for diversity reasons.

Quintus's effeminate design take elements from Quintessa from Transformers: The Last Knight. Also, their blue color design and my unique design for the Emberstone are inspired by Devaron9's and Stonecrusher's take on Quintus Prime for their fan-made series 
Autobot Academy . 
-----
Overview: The scientist of the Thirteen, Quintus Prime, possesses a mind second to none. Their idealism and perfectionist tendencies mean that they frequently butt heads with the less imaginative members of the Thirteen. Something of a daydreamer, Quintus believes that life, in all its forms, is the most important thing in the universe and that life should be encouraged to grow and thrive at all costs throughout the galaxy. Accordingly, they wield the Emberstone, an artifact that can accelerate biological processes in base elements.

Voice Actor: Mackenzie Gray

Title: THE EXPERIMENTAL DAYDREAMER

Alternate Names/Designations: Quintus the Experimental Daydreamer, The Prime of Life, The Creator, The Prime Quintesson
Alt-Mode: Cybertronian Aquatic Transport
Gender: Non-Binary
Forged/Constructed Cold: Forged
Rough Age: 10 Billion Stellar Cycles

Species: Cybertronian
First Language: Cyberglyphics; numerous alien languages
Partner Titan: Quintessa
Affiliation(s): Thirteen Primes

Status: UNKNOWN (Presumed to be either killed or lobotomized by the Quintessons, but unconfirmed)

Personality: Quintus was an innocent daydreamer with a strong tendency toward perfectionism and idealism. They constantly sought the expression of their ideas and were driven to prove their theories correct through experimental invention. In this, they were often stymied by the less imaginative Primes who had no time for their speculations, but they had a mind second to none and were unwilling to let it lie fallow just for peace and quiet. They overwhelmingly believe that life is the most important, sacred thing to be encouraged to flourish at all costs and in all varieties to enrich the universe. 

Weaponry/Equipment:
  • The Emberstone: The Emberstone is Quintus Prime's artifact, a small sliver of the AllSpark embedded in their staff. It allows them and any other wielder to seed the explosion of living processes in base elements, particularly inanimate materials. 

Abilities: 

  • Biomatter/Cybermatter Manipulation: Quintus Prime has the ability to manipulate all form of biomatter, including cybermatter, to create new forms of life. It is said that Quintus used their ability to create much of Cybertronian life's variety. However, Quintus's creations through this ability all start out as blank states, which leads them to use the Emberstone to give them sentience and sapience.

-----
Quintus Prime was the tenth Prime created by the AllSpark through the will of Primus. They helped their siblings to establish much of Cybertron's culture and biodiversity, using their artifact, the Emberstone, to create common varieties within Cybertronic life.

During the Unicron Battles, Quintus became one of the Strategists of the Thirteen and the Knights of Cybertron, alongside A-3, Micronus Prime, and Liege Maximo. To defeat Unicron, the Arisen unleashed the full power of the Creation Matrix of Leadership to critically damage the Chaos-Bringer and force him to retreat, though in the process, he fell into stasis lock. Quintus subsequently used their Emberstone to awaken the Arisen. 

Each of the Primes were corrupted by a touch of Unicron's darkness due to their close proximity to the dark god during the Unicron Battles. This resulted in the Cybertronians entering a period of colonization and expansion, which saw them terraform distant worlds in Cybertron's likeness, bringing the planet's original inhabitants to the brink of extinction. While most of the Primes regularly settled on planets that were already inhabited, Quintus Prime was among the few who wished to preserve non-Cybertronian life, the others being Micronus Prime, Onyx Prime, and the Arisen. During this time, Quintus lived in seclusion in their laboratory underneath Crystal City to undergo their experiments, but they are met by Liege Maximo, who has become more manipulative over time. Under Liege Maximo's request, Quintus secretly use the Emberstone to create new forms of Cybertronian life to defend Cybertron from hostile threats like Unicron.

Sometime later, Amalgamous Prime is killed during the Primes' failed colonization of Antilla. Megatronus Prime wished to launch a counterattack upon the Antillans as an act of revenge for their fallen brother, but Prima, who realized that their colonization efforts have done more harm than good, wanted establish peace with any aliens who were negatively affected by Cybertron's expansion. Megatronus conspires with Liege Maximo and Quintus Prime to maintain Cybertron's prosperity and defend it from any potential threats. Quintus Prime uses their Emberstone to create aggressive and bestial warriors--the original Horrorcons. Unknown to either Quintus or Megatronus, Liege Maximo wished to use the Horrorcons for his own plans to overthrow Prima as the leader of the Thirteen, conquer the universe, and elevate the Cybertronian race into the level of gods. 

After Megatronus Prime accidentally killed Solus Prime, Liege Maximo frames Megatronus and Quintus of the heads of an eventual rebellion against Prima. Despite Megatronus's and Quintus's attempts to prove their innocence, the other Primes are quick to believe Maximo's version of events and deem the two "traitors to the Prime Dynasty". In response, Megatronus Prime and Quintus Prime retreat to the Darklands with the Horrorcon army and prepare for conflict. All of this immediately leads to the outbreak of the First Cybertronian Civil War.

During the First Cybertronian Civil War's opening salvo, the Primes invade the Darklands and capture Quintus Prime. Quintus is imprisoned within the catacombs of Cybertron's underground until their war is over and their fate can be decided by their siblings. 

After the decimation of his forces in the war's early battles, Megatronus Prime journeys into space and discovers crystallized deposits of Dark Energon, the fossilized blood of Unicron himself. He used the substance to reformat himself and his followers into Terrorcons, bloodthirsty warriors that cut the path of death and destruction throughout the galaxy. Liege Maximo shows Quintus Prime all the chaos being wrought by Megatronus. Horrified at what they are shown, and believing Liege Maximo is there on the behest of the other Primes, Quintus agrees to use their knowledge and skills to create a new army of Cybertronian supersoldiers called the Combaticons. However, the Combaticons were never deployed into battle when Quintus accidentally reveals their existence to a visiting A-3, who is able to figure out Liege Maximo's treachery. 

After Liege Maximo is revealed to the true orchestrator of Solus Prime's murder, the framing of Quintus Prime and Megatronus Prime, and the First Cybertronian Civil War, he is then exiled from Cybertron within his own Titan Vigilem. Quintus Prime is then released from prison and agrees to help their siblings to stop Megatronus Prime. They accompany Prima, Vector Prime, A-3, Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime, Nexus Prime, The Arisen, the Knights of Cybertron, and the Protectobots aboard Prima's Titan, Emissary, to hunt down Megatronus Prime and his army of Terrorcons, eventually tracking them down to an unknown planet that would one day be known as Earth, where they had their final battle. The Primes were victorious when the Arisen banished Megatronus into a limbo dimension, though it came with heavy losses as both Prima and Nexus Prime fell in battle. 

With the Age of the Primes and the First Cybertronian Civil War over, Quintus went into space to seed life, hoping to create new races that might one day form peaceful alliances with Cybertron. They eventually settled on a biomechanical ocean world they named Quintessa, after their faithful Titan companion. There, they created the technorganic Quintessons, whose original mission to serve as explorers and scientists to create new scientific marvels that'll uplift Cybertron into the wider galactic community. However, over time, the Quintessons grew to be a manipulative and deceitful race as they believed that their technorganic nature made them far superior than any other lifeform, including their Cybertronian cousins. Soon, the Quintessons betrayed their own creator, basing their technology and biomechanics to create their own interstellar empire--the Quintesson Pan Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere. When the Quintessons arrived on Cybertron, A-3, now known as Alpha Trion, wondered what became of his sibling, idly speculating that Quintus's own creations may have disposed of them when they no longer required them.
