    The Shattered Glass Quintessons are hippies. The ones in Exodus are from the new reunified continuity but it's much the same as the G1 cartoon - the Cybertronians rose against the Quintessons and drove them off. Interestingly it states that the reason some Cybertronian Transformers have cockpits is for Quintesson slavedrivers. In Animated they were only briefly mentioned, but in the Allspark Almanac II they were the "Quintesson Pan-Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere".

    So their modus operandi during the time of BW is relatively unknown?

    You asked "recently" right? Beast Wars isn't "recently".

    The Universe comics show them working with Cryotek and looking to recapture Cybertron post Beast Machines IIRC. I haven't read all those books yet but I recall a scene of them executing the Beast Wars Mutants because they were unmarketable product or something like that.

    Beast Machines' Oracle turned out to be a Quintesson shell program.

    Haha, true. Though BW is more recent than G1. Not timeline wise, but production.

    So what's their deal in general? They like to enslave races for... what purpose?

    Originally they didn't do that much (any?) enslaving. That idea has come from more recent G1(ish) writers trying to merge the comic book/movie (unique Primus/Allspark created race) origin and the cartoon (consumer goods that rebelled on their makers) origins of Transformers.

    That would imply they're in some kind of trade or commerce with others. If so, who?
