'''Quickmix''' is the right-hand-mech to [[Gigantion]]'s leader [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]. He is cautious and a bit set in his ways, but he's also incredibly brave in battle and "knows a lot about a lot", as Metroplex puts it. But when things get hairy, he's also rational enough to know that sometimes, you ''do'' have to bend the rules.

Quickmix was introduced to the Autobots by [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]. He had heard of the planet's [[Cyber Planet Key]] and also heard it was in the central layer. When they found the Decepticons attempting to enter lower layers of [[Gigantion]], Quickmix stopped [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]] from drilling by defeating him in combat. The Decepticons attacked and he was able to fend off [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]] before stopping Menasor from attacking [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]]. Afterward he agreed that the Autobots could search for the Cyber Planet Key in what used to be off limits territory. {{storylink|Giant}} He looked for hard data on the key, but his endeavors came up fruitless. When [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] attacked with his new power he knocked [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] into the air, but she was caught by Quickmix. Quickmix turned his sights against the Decepticon leader, but was quickly smashed into the ground. {{storylink|Fury}}

Quickmix began unleashing cement over the ''[[Atlantis]]'', burying it. He was later placed as part of the backup team when the Autobots split up. He followed [[Coby Hansen|Coby]] in the attempt to save [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]] from [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] and [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]], but was ultimately not needed. {{storylink|City}} He later came with the rescue team to attend to [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] after his battle with [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. He covered Thundercracker with concrete to shut him up {{storylink|Ambush}} and watched Coby's reaction as [[Leobreaker]] and [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]]'s signals disappeared. {{storylink|Challenge}}

Quickmix watched as Coby ran diagnostics on the injured [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], then made fun of him. He then headed down with the rest of the backup team to the inner layer of Gigantion. He, Landmine, and Coby went into the ''[[Lemuria (Cybertron)|Lemuria]]'' to find the Cyber Planet Key. Once inside he led the group with the help of Coby's map. Quickmix was about to grab the key when [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] appeared out of nowhere and slammed him into the wall. After recovering he joined the rest of the Autobots in shooting Galvatron. {{storylink|Optimus (episode)|Optimus}} He later watched as Vector Prime inserted the final Cyber Planet Key into the [[Omega Lock]]. When Galvatron arrived to steal the Omega Lock, Quickmix was one of the first to charge into battle and also one of the first defeated. During the air battle he helped save the kids from a falling boulder with the help of Menasor. {{storylink|Showdown (episode)|Showdown}}

Quickmix helped theorize that they needed to build a generator to help build a space bridge. Afterward he left the planet with the Autobots {{storylink|Guardian (episode)|Guardian}} and returned to [[Primus]] so they can all fight Galvatron together. {{storylink|Homecoming (episode)|Homecoming}} He sparred with [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]], who now equaled him in size, chasing the Decepticon off with his Cyber Key Power. {{storylink|End}}

Quickmix helped the rockets used to kick Jungle Planet back into orbit. When one of the rockets caught fire, he attempted to extinguish it, but to no avail. He later added his strength to manually adjust the planet's trajectory. {{storylink|Unfinished}} After the war, he was quite excited to build in the space bridge project. He offered to carry [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]]'s bag onto the starship, but the old Autobot wouldn't have any of it. In the end he was part of [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]]'s team into the stars.

*'''Quickmix''' (Voyager, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Missile, double blaster, Giant Planet Cyber Key

: Quickmix transforms into a Cybertronic (Gigantian?) cement mixer with a drum that actually turns (on a [[Ratchet_(mechanism)|ratcheting joint]], though). The top of the mixing assembly flips up to reveal a control panel for Quickmix's pack-in [[Mini-Con]] [[Stripmine]] to stand on; pegs fold out that plug into holes in Stripmine's arms for stability. Stripmine can also connect to the control panel in vehicle mode by plugging his "handle" in the hole on the station and fitting his treads on the platform.

[[Image:Quickmix-workmode.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Uh, yeah. "Work" mode. Just take our word for it.]]
: In robot mode, plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the Key jack on his drum splits it open and reveals his spring-loaded missile launcher. The "pipe" piece on his left arm is actually removable and can be repositioned on his arm or even used as a hand-held "blaster" thanks to its [[Powerlinx]] peg. He also has an alternate "work" robot mode, which basically just pushes his hips up into his torso and raises his shoulders up as well. He comes with a silver-bordered Gigantion-style Cyber Planet Key, with the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''ve37'''" on the back.

: In Japan, Quickmix was only available through [[e-Hobby]]'s online ordering service, in [[Hasbro]] packaging, in October of 2006... ten months after ''Galaxy Force'' stopped in Japan.

: This mold was later used to make ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Heavy Load (Universe)|Heavy Load]].

==Notes==
* Quickmix's "work mode" is usually only seen in the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]] as a "halfway" point in his vehicle-to-robot stock footage transformation sequence. Unlike those of [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]] and [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]], Quickmix's work mode was also omitted from the instructions of his American release. Closer inspection of the show reveals that Quickmix seems to alternate between his work and regular modes at random in specific scenes.
* According to the color guide unlocked by his Cyber Planet Key, Quickmix's working title was "[[Mixmaster (disambiguation)|Mix Master]]".
* Whether by design or accident, Quickmix shares a few physical similarities with the original [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]], making him an [[homage]] of sorts (although with a color scheme closer to [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]]'s).
