"Chaotic" is the best word to describe '''Quickswitch'''. "Unpredictable" works also. His rapid changing of forms is echoed by his moods changing just as wildly. Whether you find him happy or sad, angry or upset depends mostly on the moment you happen to run into him. If you run into Quickswitch in a bad mood, the best advice is simply to wait a moment.

He may be the [[Relatives|son]] of [[Sixshot]].

[[Image:Quickswitch commercial.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Who ate all the pies? Quickswitch did!]]
Quickswitch was Sixshot's [[Reproduction|"son"]], burdened with the task of making up for his "father's" mistakes. However you want to gloss that, nothing has appeared elsewhere to support or contradict this. {{storylink|Commercial|Quickswitch commercial}}

Later, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] returned as a [[Powermaster]], he used Quickswitch in handgun mode against some Decepticon aggressors. {{storylink|Commercial|Powermaster Optimus Prime commercial}}

''Quickswitch was supposed to meet an informant at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], but ran afoul of a [[Mecannibal]] who had come looking for revenge on [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing]]. It took some showy transforming into each of his modes to stop the beast. The two drunken ingrates, however, never even noticed.'' {{storylink|Out to Lunch!|Out to Lunch!}}

===Ladybird continuity===
[[Image:Quickswitch ladybird.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Quickswitch and his friends murder the Decepticons forever by burying them alive. Take THAT! {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}]]
When the Decepticons went to ground on [[Nebulos]], Quickswitch was sent with [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]] and [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] to locate them. He was the only one able to cross the Nebulos Triangle's mercury lake due to his hovercraft mode, and he managed to locate the Decepticons' secret underground city. Hearing Decepticons, he knocked over some fuel canisters and bravely fled to the surface. With Scoop and Quickmix's help, he sealed up the only exit with concrete made from [[Nebulite]] so the Decepticons remained trapped, and the Nebulos campaign, possibly the war itself, was ended. {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Quickswitch''' (Six Changer, 1988)
**''Accessories'': Left & right blasters

[[Image:G1 Quickswitch toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|When we were kids, we'd flip out that white nosecone bit in robot mode so he had a big flat shovel-like "penis". We were kind of dumb.]]
: Quickswitch is the second "Six Changer" in the series. Besides his basic form as a humanoid robot, he turns into a Cybertronic jet, drill tank, laser pistol, hovercraft and a flying puma. His armament of choice is a pair of (non-firing) photon blasters, which he uses in many of his modes. Despite being particularly well [[Articulation|articulated]] due to his various transformations, all of his modes are kinda blocky.

: The same mold was used in Japan to make [[Sixknight]].

[[Image:InsecticonMovie.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Lord of the Flies.]]
The '''Insecticons''' are robotic insects, capable of implanting [[Cerebro-strip|cerebro-strips]] into the heads of victims; this allows the Insecticon's master to mentally manipulate and control the victims remotely. Whether the Insecticons are sentient or merely a [[drone]] race is unknown.

Robot insects that brainwash people; [[Bombshell (G1)|where'd they get]] a weird idea like that from, eh?

==Fiction==

{{notetitantlg}}
While [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was in charge, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] quietly had his Insecticons implant cerebro-strips in multiple humans, all for the day when he would gain command. Shockingly, that day actually ''arrived'', and Starscream now has an army of potential human servants, including the 44th [[President of the United States]]. He stated this was all "courtesy of my Insecticons!", but as the room was empty at the time, it is unknown to whom he was talking.

He can ''see us'', can't he. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Transformers Comic issue 15}}

===Revenge of the Fallen===

While [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] were hiding from the Decepticons, a tiny creepy-crawly infiltrator flew in through a hole in the wall. It was discovered by Sam, who pulled it apart with his fingers, but not before it transmitted the humans' position to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
