    Really hope someday we get a full Quintessa figure in Studio Series. She'd make for a great basis to do a retool into botanica too.
    Plus, depending on how her alt form is done, she'd make for the perfect innards/tentacles for a quintesson combiner that uses titan masters for faces.

    I'd buy both of these if they came deluxe or voyage sized.

    Maybe hybridize her with the Alpha Quintesson so she has a Snake, Gator, Snapping Turtle head whose jaws open all the way up to form a fanged cowl. Of course, Nagas seem to be inherent to the design of a Quintesson, as well as HP Lovecraft’s Elder Things.

    And, it certainly wouldn’t be a stretch to turn that into a bundle of flowering vines whose petals on the main flower bud can fold out and around into a cowl revealing Botanica’s head.

    Finally, would these individual headmaster Quintessons combine into a bigger stalk of tentacles with a rotating central section to be extra Lovecraftian? Or, something more like SkullGreymon with some of the meat still on him and with with a rotating egg for a head? Which, come to think of it is pretty Lovecraftian, too... :p

    Call me stupid but only just now did I realize that TLK was basically a simplified live-action version of the Energon cartoon.

    It looks like a cross between Medusa and that monster chick from the movie Species.

    The similarities are very broad strokes.

    Quintessa fills in for Alpha Q.
    Hot Rod is present as a member of an ally faction (order of witwiccans and omnicons).
    Infernocus fills in for Bruticus and the Infernocons are similar to the Terrorcons in general.
    Nitro Zeus fills in for Shockblast and Sixshot.
    Unicron is a major part of the plot.
    Galvatron reverts back to Megatron.
    Exceptionally annoying humans.

    That Quintessa design...as much as I really think it sucks, it STILL looks better than the thing in TLK.

    I was thinking movie accurate so no need to redesign and add in animals, whereas the combined element would be more G1 like, with Lovecraftian elements. But of course with a rotation element for the titan masters at a 5 slot setup or some kind of attachment to make them more G1 like in appearance. If she's going studio series she can't stray from movie concepts, but other lore additions can tweak as needed. Not sure on Alpha Q though. While he was neat, his Piranha like overbody hid his faces too much. Quintessa needs to be more sleek and not consumed, she's more consuming.

    Oh, I went overboard in reimagining Quintessa as the founding mold for a set of Quintessons that would combine into one Judge unit, so that each Quintesson contributes one face to the final entwined Quintesson stalk. Probably, then, a central Quintesson vine would have the facet cylinder as a “cannon” blooming off it’s back.

    Still, with a lot of hinges, you could get the lower jaw up and over the main head to form either shoulder pads, or a smaller cowl behind the upper jaw retreating for the yuge Ming the Merciless or Doctor Strange cowl... if for some reason Quintessa had her stats rerolled with Alpha Q in Siege.

    Or, just have the lower jaws fold under her arm pits and then behind her back and out of the way. Though, that’s just cause I feel it’s worth making something of that apparent connection to Nagas and other were-serpents across comparative mythology.

    And, that same sort of engineering could be repeated for a half blossomed flower that folds around itself to reveal a coweled Botanica, a bit like Rosemon with her leaf cowl, for instance.

    Though, the simplest road is to just have a Reptilian head or Flower blossom fold into the chest to reveal the head like the Allicons. :D

    There's definitely possibilities in that, and the concept of her as a space reptile or carnivorous thing is a good one, if the transformation can keep to cost and still look movie accurate.

    For a Botanica retool, it'd mostly be replacing the tentacles with roots/vines, and the top half. While a Quintesson full combination, might be simpler to do some kind of shell former attachment that has slots for 5 faces.

    I hope Skulk would get a SS toy, his design is so awesome it’d be such a waste if he only got a tiny Legion
