• Quintesson Pit of Judgement(multi-pack, 2020)

• Accessories:Ax, mace, tail-sword
• Known designers:Ken Christiansen(concept artist),Mario CarreiroandAJ Piejko-Brown(packaging)

The "Quintesson Bailiff" is aretoolingof theWar for Cybertron: EarthriseDeluxe ClassAlliconwith a new robot head, robot chest, upper beast head, and shoulders, transforming into a bipedal alligator-like thing. Along with the tail-sword, it comes with two new weapons, a double-bladed ax and a mace, which can connect to form the animation model's staff-thing.

It also comes in a brownish-green deco based on a fan-colored character modelpreviously uploaded to the wiki,which was based on a poor DVD master of the movie thatmisrepresented the Baliff's color scheme.

Because of how the new shoulders are shaped, the Baliff has more restricted outward arm movement than the Allicon in robot mode.

This toy was only available in the "Quintesson Pit of Judgement" box set, along with redecos of theQuintesson Judge,Sharkticon,and brand-new mini-figures of theQuintesson ProsecutorandKranix.It was available first for people who attended the Hasbro Fans Expo inHong Kongand preordered the set. It was later made aHasbro PulseCon 2020exclusivein the United States and Canada (except for Quebec), available to Premium members onSeptember 232020, then opened up to all members onthe 24th,where it sold out, went to pre-orders for more, then sold out of pre-orders within a few short hours despite a (stated) 1-per-customer limit.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

Correctly-colored variant also available.

• Troop Builder Multipack(4-pack, 2023)

• Series:Legacy: Evolution
• Accessories:Axe, mace, tail-sword,Alliconhead
• Known designers:Mark Maher(Hasbro)^[1]

One of four figures in theBuzzworthy Bumblebee"Troop BuilderMultipack ", the Quintesson Trooper is a redeco of theWar for Cybertron TrilogyQuintesson Bailiff in a more cartoon-accurate color scheme, retaining that figure's accessories. Additionally, the Trooper also includes a copy of theEarthriseAllicon's head, with additional paint compared to the original release. While the multipack's packaging and instructions suggest optionally swapping this head onto the Quintesson Trooper to create a sort of Bailiff/Allicon hybrid, a savvy purchaser can instead substitute it onto an originalEarthriseAllicon toy to give it a more cartoon-accurate head... if they don't mind the plastic colors not matching. Due to sitting up higher than the Allicon release of the mold, you should turn the Allicon head so the fin rests in the gap of the chest when transforming to avoid the fin becoming bent.

This is also the first ever Hasbro-initiated toy^[2]to feature the Quintesson insignia (albeit very small). Nice!

The Troop Builder Multipack also included aDecepticon Seeker,aG2 Universe Cybertronian Trooper,and anAnimated Universe Autotrooper.
