I am pretty sure he is from Cybertron. When I was a kid in about 1986-7 there was a kids storybook that said his family crashed on Quintesson and he was the only survivor.
I would say Cybertron, but I also recall a story that his ship crashed on Quintessa and he was the only survivor.
Officialy, he's from Cybertron. There are two explanations on how he got to Quintesson: 1, He crashed, only survivor. (Shame) 2, He was stolen by Quintessons, though I can't remember where I heard it. Probobly the first one though.
The biggest mistake the Quints ever made, except for making robots that could fight back, and accepting defeat and leaving Cybertron, oh, and that bit where they blew up Quintessa in a failed attempt to destroy the Autobots.
Bet they felt pretty stupid when they overstretched their forces when attacking Earth and Cybertron at the same time, only to have Metroplex awaken on them! Gary
maybe he was a Quintesson clone of Hotrod, who hadnt grown properly, was thrown out, ended up on Junkion, where he learned to talk, then picked back up by quints, and then found by dinobots in the movie...
You left out that time where they created a time machine, then let warriors from the future enable the rebellion in the past in a Time Paradox to get them thrown off the planet in the first place. And wasn't there something about them being red wizards in a video game? It's a wonder they don't fall down on their faces when they go down a hallway.
Wheelie kinda funny he mighta been exiled.....stupid wheelie.... on a side note, my and my friends gave this kid who used to hang out with us at college (and annoy this sin outta us with his derogatory and stupid topics of discussion) the nickname wheelie....he loved it..and had no idea....which made us laugh....
