I don’t know why I drew the three most boring Transformers around but I hope I made them feel a little more exciting.
I don’t understand why entertainment outlets write and re-write that “toxic fandom” article without ever going deep on the fact that 90% of the time, heat isn’t coming from “fandom,” it’s coming from right-wing political groups injecting far-right ideas into highly visible subcultures. It’s an op.
As for "Quintesson Leader," that's just the descriptor given to the character in the script. Well, to be precise, he's the "Lead Quintesson" in the scripts we have, but he'd become "Quintesson Leader" by the time the storyboards were being done up.
I've no idea if any of these terms were independently coined by others or were in use by fans before this, but I do know the Ark artbook used all of them about three years later!
Haha, you know, I DO. I cant PROVE this, but I think *I* might be responsible for them. 20 years ago, for fun, I mocked up an "Ultimate Guide" style page for the Quintessons and invented some names for the various types.
I'm fully committing to this life. Once an hour, on the hour, I will turn to my nearest compatriot and say "Ahhh, ain't nobody believes in Da Bat, dat's just a oiban legend"
