===Quintessons===

Though not truly Cybertronians, their nature as a species created by Quintessa Prime gives them a close connection to the children of Primus in any case.  While many Quintessons have peaceful relationships with the Cybertronians and even other Xenos, the Quintessons who belong to the euphemistically named Quintesson Co-Prosperity Sphere have a notorious reputation as slavers and invaders and at one point even invaded and occupied Cybertron for a time before being driven off after years of their cruel and harsh overlordship.  The tentacled mechanical Xenos however use their armies of Xenos auxiliaries to do the fighting for them rather than engage in battle themselves, as the standard Quintesson form is poorly suited for battle without the right form of powered exoskeleton to make up for their physical weakness. Key among these are the Sharkticon and Allicon servant races who constitute the Quintessons' main corps of loyal, brutish, and extremely expendable troops.  The Quintessons of the Co-Prosperity sphere in particular enjoy holding farcical trials for the supposed crimes of those they capture and deem unsuited for slavery. When the five-faced judges who rule the Quintesson species reach a verdict, that verdict is inevitably guilty, and the sentence is invariably death.
