    How do you want the Quintessons to look/act like?

    Want them to keep the face spinning gimmick? Want them to see have a bunch of tentacles? Be cyborgs or completely fleshy? Completely robotic?

    How should they sound and act?

    How do you like your Quintessons, if they really are the Creators? What are your hopes and expectations?

    Well, if the Creators are the beings we saw at the beginning of AoE, I'd want their bodies to be mostly like that... perhaps some metal parts or tentacles.. and maybe the faces wouldn't spin, but how cool would it be for them to have a head with the 5 faces? Or what if there were 5 Quintessons, each with one of the original faces, modernized?

    It's interesting you have a Gurren Lagaan Sig, cause i think there motivations and Actions should be Similar to the anti Spirals.

    Incredible arrogance with god like power to back it up

    I imagine that they'd cyborg'd themselves to elongate their lives. Instead of the spinning face, five long tendrils ending in a different face.

    Or maybe something like Koh the Face Stealer from Avatar!

    Speaks in a calm, almost whispery tone with a 'base' face...Before suddenly showing emotion and changing its face to suit it!

    Honestly, I'd be fine with finding out there's actually only one Quintesson. Just make it cool.

    YouTube (Legacy):
    I hope they keep their face spinning mechanism and in addition, the sound should be incredibly eerie as soon as they turn their face.

    Tentacles? It's up to the designers, I honestly don't mind what they do with their limbs.

    I want them to be cyborg, to imply that they're a different race from Cybertronians.

    Want them to sound disturbing and act menacing while being eerie.

    I'm curious to see what twist can the movieverse give to them, I'm really hoping I'm not let down.

    I'm up for Qunitessons in the Bayverse.

    But only they have five voice actors for each face. I want them to be old school.

    Quite a few things:
    -keep the face spinning gimmick, but don't make it so obvious like in G1(keep one face visible at all times.) The ships we saw in AoE have a sort of snail shell thing going on, so maybe go off that with an ammonite/nautilus motif in terms of general shape, with War of the Worlds-esque tentacles at the base for support and manipulation. The face spinners should probably be very obviously ruling class.
    -I'd like them to be organic at the core with robotic exosuits. The idea is that they're in exile or maybe the last of their kind and they've been traveling in nomadic groups for quite some time, so they probably require these suits to sustain themselves. The five-facers should probably look more ornate and regal, while the lower classes are more practical and utilitarian. In addition the five-facers don a unique set of relatively simplistic ceremonial masks/faces to differentiate themselves. These masks probably are identifying features that indicate mood and function among the ruling class.


    Oh and Optimus needs to go face-rippy with all of them.

    But the first Quintesson to appear only have one voice actor to go along with the five faces?

    You don't need five voice actors for one character. You need a voice actor with a ton of range.

    Well, we got Frank Welker and John DiMaggio already in the movie. Though, personally, I think Peter Cullen should voice the lead face. That's just me, though.

    Eh.. It does sound neat, but to me it doesn't fit with the "creator" for the bay verse, Cullen most of the time sounds like Prime or Eory(Probably spelled that wrong). I expect something more a long the lines... Creepy, but god like if that makes any sense :lol

    Not a bad idea, but...

    They should definitely be cyborg.

    What if their face was organic, and they had 5, but each one was hidden inside of an exoskin, and when the face rotates, it makes a very creepy horror movie kind of effect, with the other face sliding out of the skin on an impossible joint..

    Also, the War of the Worlds tripod idea is brilliant.

    i think the classic quintesson look would work rather well for the movies..

    it could be a techno-organic creature with five faces.. but instead of them spinning they transform. so each time a different personality speaks, the face/head transforms into whichever one is talking.

    but i also think that they have to pose a threat.. so, if they use the quintessons we might get five stand alone beings..

    or.. they could use the quintesson guards as their muscle, to oppose prime.

    maybe the quintessons aren't the creators.. maybe it's a unicron/quintesson mix.. a giant planet sized transformer that is a combination of 5 beings. (i HIGHLY doubt they'd do this.. and i'm pretty sure i wouldn't want something like this lol)

    to be honest.. every robot/character they've done so far, in my opinion, looks fantastic.. my only hope is that they use something from transformers lure.. there's just too much history there to make up their own creators.. i'm all for changing names, personalities, alt modes, colors.. but something like this should be derived from the past.

    I just want the five faces and spinning gimmick. The sound, as Music said, should be really creepy. Shouldn't be hard to achieve; the sound designers for these movies are amazing.

    I love the War of the Worlds tripod idea. That'd be badass.

    5 snipping faces so prime can spin them round and rip a face off when it comes round.

    id like something different but creepy , im not really a fan of the quints so id like something different , like perhaps they are the original cybertronians made the allspark which in turn made the transformers race as for the face gimmick I think that's something that has to be in place , perhaps it could be a screen (like prime soundwave) that flickers between faces or maybe they have a sort of face made of metal that transforms into different faces by sliding plates around on the face
