!![[folder:Quintessa]]

!![[color:purple:Quintessa]]

* BountyHunter: [[CaptainObvious Yes]]. He's hunting Optimus when the film begins, not to mention several others (the Dinobots) before that.

* TheGhost: Unicron ''is'' Earth, so technically you see him throughout the entire movie, but his true appearance isn't shown.

* TheGhost: Unicron ''is'' Earth, so technically you see him throughout the entire movie, but we haven't an inkling of what he truly looks or sounds like.

* GreaterScopeVillain: For the entire film franchise. Unicron is Earth, much like in ''Transformers: Prime'', and is Sir Edmund Burton's stated reason why the Cybertronians are attracted to Earth; this would explain the endeavors of the Fallen, as well as those of Sentinel Prime.

->'''Played by:''' Creator/GemmaChan

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Quintessa serves this for ''The Last Knight''. She intends to destroy Unicron (Earth's true form) to save Cybertron and corrupts Optimus to do so.]]

->'''Played by:''' Creator/MarkRyan

![[spoiler: Unicron]]

* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:Most Unicrons "merely" eat planets and have enough power to destroy entire civilizations. However, unless it's not connected to his body and doesn't go deep enough, this one also has a star harvester built into him, designed to drain stars and turn them to energy. This version of Unicron could potentially destroy entire star systems before any planet in them could even notice it, ''and'' heal himself by doing so.]]
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler: Certainly can cause a Class 5 if he were to awaken, since he ''is'' the core of Earth.]]
* TheGhost: [[spoiler: Unicron ''is'' Earth, so technically you see him throughout the entire movie, but we haven't an inkling of what he truly looks or sounds like.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: For the entire film franchise. [[spoiler: Unicron is Earth, much like in ''Transformers: Prime'', and is Sir Edmund Burton's stated reason why the Cybertronians are attracted to Earth; this would explain the endeavors of the Fallen, as well as those of Sentinel Prime.]]

** [[spoiler: The SpikesOfVillainy that are protruding from various places on Earth (that, when put together from the days of Pangaea, form a circular pattern) are remiscient of G1 Unicron's "maw" from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie''.]]
** [[spoiler: As mentioned above, his status as planet Earth itself is akin to his ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' counterpart.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The GreaterScopeVillain of the series is ''Earth itself''.]]

* BigBad: Of the fourth film. He is the single most consistent and deadly foe faced by the main characters.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Galvatron and Attinger.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Attinger. They also qualify as a BigBadEnsemble as well, since while they're working together, they have different goals and have different arch-enemies who they focus their energy on (Cade for Attinger, Optimus for Lockdown).

* SatanicArchetype: The prophecy calls her "the Mad Goddess" and the Knights know her as "The Great Deceiver".
* UnreliableNarrator: She claims to be "the Prime of life" and the creator of the transformers, yet is one herself. The previous film shows an organic hand gathering the materials to build Transformers, and her design doesn't match the Primes seen in ROTF. [[spoiler: Her plan to revitalize Cybertron using Unicron's energy also contradicts the creator's implied plan in the previous film; wipe out all transformers and start from scratch.]] Not to mention, the knights call her "The Great Deceiver" for a reason.

** BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: The trailers imply that Quintessa and Megatron work separately. In the film proper, they are actually working together to revitalize their home planet, even though Quintessa is the one who's giving orders to Megatron during the final phases of their plan, since he's the brawn and she's the brains.]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: [[spoiler: Quintessa played Optimus Prime like a fiddle.]]

* SatanicArchetype: The prophecy calls the "the Mad Goddess" and the Knights know her as "The Great Deceiver".

** BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: The trailers imply that Quintessa and Megatron work separately. In the film proper, they are actually working together to revitalize their home planet, even though Quintessa is the one who's giving orders to Megatron during the final phases of their plan.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: For the entire film franchise. [[spoiler: Unicron is Earth, much like in ''Transformers: Prime'', and is Sir Edmund Burton's stated reason why the Cybertronians are attracted to Earth; this would explain the endeavors of the late BiggerBad of the Decepticons, the Fallen, as well as those of Sentinel Prime.]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The one we've seen, Quintessa, is a lot prettier than the original tentacled freaks. While she still has tentacles, they emerge from the bottom, making her look like a ghost, especially since she's colored light blue and floats. [[spoiler: She gets even prettier as a human.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Quintessa serves this for ''The Last Knight''. She intends to destroy Unicron (Earth's true form) to save Cybertron and corrupts Optimus to do so.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: The trailers imply that Quintessa and Megatron work separately. In the film proper, they are actually working together to revitalize their home planet, even though Quintessa is the one who's giving orders to Megatron during the final phases of their plan.]]
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Quintessa is essentially a combination of Solus Prime and Quintus Prime]].

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: [[spoiler: Quintessa played Optimus Prime like a fiddle.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Quintessa's ultimate goals are good ones: to restore the Transformers' home planet of Cybertron while also preventing [[UltimateEvil Unicron]] from ever awakening to threaten the universe. Her methods for accomplishing those goals are undeniably evil, however.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Quintessa serves as one for ''The Last Knight''. She intends to destroy Unicron (Earth's true form) to save Cybertron and corrupts Optimus to do so.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: The trailers imply that Quintessa and Megatron work separately. In the film proper, they are actually working together to revitalize their home planet.]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulilative Bitch]]: [[spoiler: Quintessa played Optimus Prime like a fiddle.]]

* CombiningMecha: The Infernocons can form into Infernocus, who towers even over Optimus. This combiner is bipedal, unlike ''Revenge Of The Fallen's'' Devastator.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The one we've seen is a lot prettier than the original tentacled freaks. While it still has tentacles, they emerge from the bottom, making it look like ghost, especially since it's light blue and floats.

** Some see their existence is this, but the allspark and they are not mutually exclusive, since they may have created the allspark to keep the race going by itself. Since Transformers themselves do not know where the cube came from is pretty good evidence in itself.

* DynamicEntry: His tactic is to shoot and cripple his opponent from far away with an incredibly powerful cannon, after which he slowly walks up to them while they are still in incredible pain and in shock of what has happened.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He has a disdain of cybertronians working together with humans despite the fact the he himself is working together with a human.

* ItsPersonal: When Optimus and co. [[spoiler:escape on the Knight Ship with the Dinobots]], he's clearly ''pissed''.

* MenacingStroll: His default practically.

The character sheet for the Live Action ''Franchise/TransformersFilmSeries''.

* {{Badass}}: He is one of the few characters that can take Optimus Prime in a fistfight and survive, and even come up on top; not to mention that he managed to capture the Dinobots, who in this universe seem to be legends among Transformers.
