    How do you guys say it?

    QUIN-tuh-SAHN

    or

    quin-TESS-uhn?

    I'm pretty sure the G1 narrator called them the first one but I swear somebody (maybe in the Energon dub) used the latter.

    QUIN-tuh-SAHN for me, but I liked how Animated Swindle pronounced it as Quin-TESS-uhn.

    quin-TESS-uh is the planet, QUIN-tuh-SAHNs are the beings who populate it.

    I say it's quin-tuh-sahn

    American isn't exactly pronounced the same as America with an extra n. (It's close, but I think you'll find the last "A" is pronounced differently for the two.) I'm from Ameri-kuh , therefore I'm Ameri-kin.

    So if you are from the planet Quin-Tess-uh, you can be a Quin-tuh-sahn...without being anymore inconsistent that we typically are.

    Plus...that's how they all said it, so there's really no debate.

    QUIN-tuh-SAHN I guess.

    I'd type it 'Quin-ter-sahn' though.

    QUIN-tuh-SAHN it's in the show when they say it.

    Their planet was pronounced Quint-ess-a.

    I don't know why I defaulted to the narrator. I probably should have figured a member of the rave would have referred to himself as such.

    I kind of like idea of Cybertronians like Swindle saying it incorrectly, like how Arrow is dealing with Ra's all Ghul's movie pronunciation vs. his TAS/video game pronunciation.

    I prefer Energon's pronunciation over g1, but I'm used to both by now.

    I dunno... yours seems a little more left.

    EDIT: In hindsight this was the worst joke I've ever made on this site and I apologize to all who see it - including and especially - myself.
