'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

[[File:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Say howdy to mah head!]]<br />
Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]]. When the [[Planet Buster]] exploded, his [[stasis pod]] was knocked out of orbit and crashed in [[Delta Quadrant]], an unstable region. His malfunctioning [[DNA scanner]] gave Quickstrike a dual scorpion/snake [[beast mode]], however when he was awakened, he had no knowledge of his identity as a Maximal. His first action was to engage his fellow [[Fuzor]] [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] in a sparring match. His aggressive nature made him an easy convert to the Predacon cause for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], and he was soon happily attacking the Maximals. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}} He took part in the defeat of the Maximals, but only until [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] was resurrected as a [[Transmetal]]. During the fight against the Maximal leader, he was slagged by one of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s errant missiles. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MaximalNoMore Quickstrike mid-shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|" 'Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate'... Ah don't ''like'' you wiki writers no more."]]<br />
A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto. When the cave they'd been sent to build at was apparently destroyed, he only retreated after a lengthy parting shot. {{storylink|Tangled Web}} Taking part in an ambush, Quickstrike got the drop on Rattrap, but Rattrap was able to out-draw him and blasted him off a cliff. Quickstrike survived, and when [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] attempted to change sides, was only too happy to face the much-larger Maximal in one-on-one combat. Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]]. They were unprepared when an [[Metal Hunter|alien construct]] appeared and blasted them all. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} Quickstrike, due to some Transmetal-like quality of his form, recovered quickly from the blast, and ventured into the construct with Megatron and Tarantulas. Megatron soon used him as a guinea pig to see if the construct's defences would respond to them — luckily for Quickstrike, they didn't. After Megatron had taken control of the ship, Quickstrike and the other Predacons defended it against a Maximal attack. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodeofHero Quickstrike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.34|"Awww, this happens every time Ah try to do a barbeque..."]]<br />
While Blackarachnia and Silverbolt were traipsing around the jungle together, Megatron, Quickstrike and Inferno spied on them using a bugging device planted earlier. {{storylink|Bad Spark}} Perhaps uncharacteristically, while the other Predacons were torching a valley full of [[anthropoid]]s, Quickstrike hung back with Megatron. Once Dinobot had exhausted most of his power defeating the others, Quickstrike leaped into battle, believing Dinobot to be less of a warrior without his weapons. Dinobot responded by physically beating the Predacon and slamming him head-first into the ground. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron. As it turned out they did, and the Predacons were repelled by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]'s [[transwarp cruiser]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Once Megatron had convinced Ravage to switch sides, the Predacons mounted another attack on the ''Axalon''. Quickstrike rode triumphantly atop [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]'s tank mode... only to be blasted off by Cheetor and subsequently run over by his comrade. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} Quickstrike worked to reassemble himself as Megatron called on the Predacons to get themselves ready for battle. Apparently he wasn't finished in time to take part in the subsequent destruction of the ''Axalon''. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DeepMetal Quickstrike firing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.55|BURRRRRRRRP]]<br />
After Rampage disappeared while on a mission, Megatron sent Quickstrike to look for him. Quickstrike soon found the crab at the mercy of [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], and was only too happy to lend a hand by shooting the Maximal newcomer. Sadly he didn't have long to celebrate his victory before a cluster of missiles fired by Primal blew him away. {{storylink|Deep Metal}} When the Maximals attempted to salvage [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] from the wreck of the ''Axalon'', Quickstrike helped Waspinator by taking on Rattrap and Silverbolt, while his fellow Predacon headed for home with the computer module. He headed over to finish off the unconscious Silverbolt... only to be flattened when Rampage fell on him. {{storylink|Changing of the Guard}}<br />
<br />
While the bulk of the Maximal forces were distracted by Megatron's [[Cyber raptor]]s out in the field, Rampage accompanied the Predacon leader in an assault against the Maximals' home base. Quickstrike was given lead position as they entered the base, arising jealousy from Inferno. The reason as to why Quickstrike was allowed to go first became clear moments later as Quickstrike was taken out by a sequence of booby traps. {{storylink|Cutting Edge}}<br />
<br />
Attempting to find out what had happened to the [[Transmetal driver]], the Predacons interrogated Depth Charge, only to be attacked by a strange feral cat creature. After promising to make the creature into a ghost, Quickstrike chased it behind a rock. His snake head came back minus the rest of him. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1}} During the construction of the [[disruptor cannon]], Quickstrike was the only one <s>foolish</s> brave enough to be welding ''inside'' the weapon barrel when Inferno plugged it in, and was knocked off his perch by the energy surge. Once they got the cannon working, Quickstrike's prognosis of "lookin' good!" proved premature, as it exploded in their faces. {{storylink|Go with the Flow}} Quickstrike and the other Predacons attempted to disrupt the power in the Maximal base during an attempt by the Maximals to remove Blackarachnia's Predacon [[shell program]]. He was swiftly dispatched by Cheetor. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MasterBlaster Quickstrike in Optimus suit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Check out mah fancy duds!]]<br />
Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />
<br />
Furious, Megatron held a trial for Quickstrike, however it was interrupted by an unexpected incursion — the [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]] destroyed the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. Quickstrike was literally blown away along with his Predacon comrades, leaving Megatron the only one standing to face Tigerhawk. {{storylink|Other Victories}} In the aftermath, Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator were sent by Megatron to find a new base. They decided on attacking an anthropoid colony, though Waspinator refused and was slagged by the other two. Quickstrike and Inferno charged, only to meet with heavy resistance from the natives. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} They finally got the early humans on the run, and were overjoyed to see the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]] appear overhead... until the main [[fusion cannon]] fired on the site, killing them both. Among the parts of him salvaged by the early humans were his cobra tail, used as a trumpet, his claws used as a spit, and his faceplate, used as a mask. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}<br />

<br />
====3H comics====<br />
After Megatron gained his dragon body, a temporal distortion drew the attention of both the Maximals and Predacons to a remote canyon, where Quickstrike and his fellow Predacons met their foes. The Maximals were losing, having been fought into a corner, when suddenly the battle was interrupted. The [[Dark Essence]], the source of the temporal distortion, had possessed the newcomer [[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]] with the life force of [[Unicron]]. Quickstrike and the others were immobilized by Windrazor/Unicron's psionic force blasts, and the merged creature advanced on the Maximals. {{storylink|Paradox}}<br />
<br />
====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====<br />
While waiting for his trial for betraying Megatron, Quickstrike was approached by his leader (who'd seemingly taken to talking to himself of late) and given a new mission. He flew over Maximal territory on a small glider, dropping off a small device into the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] before retiring to a safe position to observe. The device soon caused the Maximals to be at each other's throats, a fact he gleefully reported to Megatron. As his leader proceeded with the rest of the plan, Quickstrike relaxed in the sun, and was subsequently unprepared when the Maximals, having overcome the effects of the device, pounced on him. {{storylink|A Meeting of Minds}}<br />
<br />
====2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity====<br />
[[File:BWGatherQuickstrike.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br />
As [[Magmatron]] surveyed the timestream, he witnessed several key moments during the Beast Wars. Among these moments was Quickstrike and Silverbolt's initial initiation into the Predacon ranks. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br />
<br />
Hearing a commotion at some point after the Predacons acquired Sentinel, a distressed Inferno rushed to where he has last left Megatron, bringing Quickstrike in tow. Both were surprised to see that Megatron had completely vanished. In reality, their leader had been chronologically displaced by Magmatron and his lackeys. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}<br />
<br />
====Waspscream continuity====<br />
In [[Primax 208.06 Zeta]], Quickstrike joined the hybrid [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-[[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] entity's successful coup against Megatron. Waspscream later released [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]] from containment to force Protoform X into his service, but not before Protoform X offlined Quickstrike. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}<br />

[[File:QuickstrikeMetalsManga01.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|He's a tall drink a' water, ain't he?]]<br />
Following the [[Quantum surge]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] Quickstrike was upgraded into a [[Transmetal]]. Combining the mutated blood in his body with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s warrior drones, Quickstrike fashioned himself the [[Scorpion Corps]] and [[Cobra Corps]]. With his new army, he proceeded to attack the weakened Maximal base, gradually depleting [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel's]] defenses. When the Maximals were forced to shut Sentinel down to let [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] in, Quickstrike's attacks really began to take a toll. Seeing an opening, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] entered the base and confronted the Maximals inside.<br />
<br />
After she had finished, she left the base just as Quickstrike's forces caused it to collapse completely. Angry at her "interference", Quickstrike began to berate her. Not in the mood, Blackarachnia proceeded to kick Quickstrike's head clean off. Weeping, Quickstrike's noggin sat helplessly on the ground as his decapitated body scrambled around blindly. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike recovered, but was promptly killed alongside his troopers by [[Jaguar]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}} When Megatron freed the sparks eaten by Rampage, however, the released energies revived Quickstrike as a mindless zombie. He attacked Optimus Primal along with several other zombies, but was ultimately destroyed for good by Primal's rocket-fists. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 5|Beast Wars Metals #5}}<br />
<br />
===Legends World===<br />
Quickstrike arrived at Tera-Kura Co. for a job interview with Megatron but was taken aback when Megatron asked no questions but instead produced an hourglass and demands that he "appeal to me" (Megatron had recently watched [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|the third movie]]). {{storylink|Legends Vol. 16#The Results of Mega-chan's Studies|The Results of Mega-chan's Studies}} He made the cut, as he was later among Megatron's employees. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 63|Bonus Edition Vol. 63}}<br />
<br />
After the [[Legends World]] was restored, Quickstrike watched on as [[T-AI|Ai]] attempted to arrest [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] in [[Tera-Kura Co.]] {{Storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}<br />
<br />
===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br />
Quickstrike participated in Battle MCMXXIII of the [[Games (competition)|Games]], a three-day long struggle that culminated in a stand-off between him and [[Stinkbomb]]. After a heated hand-to-hand battle between the two, Stinkbomb's chemical gun failed him, giving Quickstrike the opening he needed to fire his tail weapon and kill his opponent, winning the game for the Predacons. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}<br />

: Quickstrike transforms into a scorpion with a cobra's head on his tail rather than a stinger. The cobra head has a soft-plastic bladder than can be used to store and [[Water-squirting gimmick|squirt water]]. Most of its orange parts are translucent plastic, and make extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, particularly in its tail. While this provides excellent articulation, care should be taken as the joints loosen rather quickly with play.<br />
<br />
: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy, released in September 1999 as part of the first wave of ''Metals'' toys, has extra blue paint applications on its face and red paint for its eyes. Its scorpion legs are cast in a darker orange color.<br />
<br />
: Oddly, the Hasbro version of Quickstrike, in Hasbro packaging with a large Japanese-language sticker on the back, was available in Japan long before the ''Metals'' release as a prize at KFC restaurants in December 1998 as part of a promotion for the ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'' movie. Kids' meals came with a special token used to activate a "gacha" capsule machine in the restaurants; among a number of ''Beast Wars'' themed goods was a special capsule that won the contestant a Hasbro Quickstrike.<ref>[http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html]</ref><br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />

Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />

Following the [[Quantum surge]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] Quickstrike was upgraded into a [[Transmetal]]. Combining the mutated blood in his body with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s warrior drones, Quickstrike fashioned himself the [[Scorpion Corps]] and [[Cobra Corps]].

Seeing an opening, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] entered the base and confronted the Maximals inside.<br />
<br />
After she had finished, she left the base just as Quickstrike's forces caused it to collapse completely. Angry at her "interference", Quickstrike began to berate her. Not in the mood, Blackarachnia proceeded to kick Quickstrike's head clean off. Weeping, Quickstrike's noggin sat helplessly on the ground as his decapitated body scrambled around blindly. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}<br />

: Quickstrike transforms into a scorpion with a cobra's head on his tail rather than a stinger. The cobra head has a soft-plastic bladder than can be used to store and [[Water-squirting gimmick|squirt water]]. Most of its orange parts are translucent plastic, and make extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, particularly in its tail. While this provides excellent articulation, care should be taken as the joints loosen rather quickly with play.<br />
<br />
: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy, released in September 1999 as part of the first wave of ''Metals'' toys, has extra blue paint applications on its face and red paint for its eyes. Its scorpion legs are cast in a darker orange color.<br />
<br />
: Oddly, the Hasbro version of Quickstrike, in Hasbro packaging with a large Japanese-language sticker on the back, was available in Japan long before the ''Metals'' release as a prize at KFC restaurants in December 1998 as part of a promotion for the ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'' movie. Kids' meals came with a special token used to activate a "gacha" capsule machine in the restaurants; among a number of ''Beast Wars'' themed goods was a special capsule that won the contestant a Hasbro Quickstrike.<ref>[http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html]</ref><br />

==Notes==<br />
*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />

'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

[[File:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Say howdy to mah head!]]<br />
Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]]. When the [[Planet Buster]] exploded, his [[stasis pod]] was knocked out of orbit and crashed in [[Delta Quadrant]], an unstable region. His malfunctioning [[DNA scanner]] gave Quickstrike a dual scorpion/snake [[beast mode]], however when he was awakened, he had no knowledge of his identity as a Maximal. His first action was to engage his fellow [[Fuzor]] [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] in a sparring match. His aggressive nature made him an easy convert to the Predacon cause for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], and he was soon happily attacking the Maximals. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}} He took part in the defeat of the Maximals, but only until [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] was resurrected as a [[Transmetal]]. During the fight against the Maximal leader, he was slagged by one of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s errant missiles. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MaximalNoMore Quickstrike mid-shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|" 'Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate'... Ah don't ''like'' you wiki writers no more."]]<br />
A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto. When the cave they'd been sent to build at was apparently destroyed, he only retreated after a lengthy parting shot. {{storylink|Tangled Web}} Taking part in an ambush, Quickstrike got the drop on Rattrap, but Rattrap was able to out-draw him and blasted him off a cliff. Quickstrike survived, and when [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] attempted to change sides, was only too happy to face the much-larger Maximal in one-on-one combat. Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]]. They were unprepared when an [[Metal Hunter|alien construct]] appeared and blasted them all. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} Quickstrike, due to some Transmetal-like quality of his form, recovered quickly from the blast, and ventured into the construct with Megatron and Tarantulas. Megatron soon used him as a guinea pig to see if the construct's defences would respond to them — luckily for Quickstrike, they didn't. After Megatron had taken control of the ship, Quickstrike and the other Predacons defended it against a Maximal attack. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodeofHero Quickstrike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.34|"Awww, this happens every time Ah try to do a barbeque..."]]<br />
While Blackarachnia and Silverbolt were traipsing around the jungle together, Megatron, Quickstrike and Inferno spied on them using a bugging device planted earlier. {{storylink|Bad Spark}} Perhaps uncharacteristically, while the other Predacons were torching a valley full of [[anthropoid]]s, Quickstrike hung back with Megatron. Once Dinobot had exhausted most of his power defeating the others, Quickstrike leaped into battle, believing Dinobot to be less of a warrior without his weapons. Dinobot responded by physically beating the Predacon and slamming him head-first into the ground. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}<br />

Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron.

*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />

'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

[[File:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Say howdy to mah head!]]<br />
Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]]. When the [[Planet Buster]] exploded, his [[stasis pod]] was knocked out of orbit and crashed in [[Delta Quadrant]], an unstable region. His malfunctioning [[DNA scanner]] gave Quickstrike a dual scorpion/snake [[beast mode]], however when he was awakened, he had no knowledge of his identity as a Maximal. His first action was to engage his fellow [[Fuzor]] [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] in a sparring match. His aggressive nature made him an easy convert to the Predacon cause for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], and he was soon happily attacking the Maximals. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}} He took part in the defeat of the Maximals, but only until [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] was resurrected as a [[Transmetal]]. During the fight against the Maximal leader, he was slagged by one of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s errant missiles. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MaximalNoMore Quickstrike mid-shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|" 'Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate'... Ah don't ''like'' you wiki writers no more."]]<br />
A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto. When the cave they'd been sent to build at was apparently destroyed, he only retreated after a lengthy parting shot. {{storylink|Tangled Web}} Taking part in an ambush, Quickstrike got the drop on Rattrap, but Rattrap was able to out-draw him and blasted him off a cliff. Quickstrike survived, and when [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] attempted to change sides, was only too happy to face the much-larger Maximal in one-on-one combat. Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]]. They were unprepared when an [[Metal Hunter|alien construct]] appeared and blasted them all. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} Quickstrike, due to some Transmetal-like quality of his form, recovered quickly from the blast, and ventured into the construct with Megatron and Tarantulas. Megatron soon used him as a guinea pig to see if the construct's defences would respond to them — luckily for Quickstrike, they didn't. After Megatron had taken control of the ship, Quickstrike and the other Predacons defended it against a Maximal attack. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodeofHero Quickstrike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.34|"Awww, this happens every time Ah try to do a barbeque..."]]<br />
While Blackarachnia and Silverbolt were traipsing around the jungle together, Megatron, Quickstrike and Inferno spied on them using a bugging device planted earlier. {{storylink|Bad Spark}} Perhaps uncharacteristically, while the other Predacons were torching a valley full of [[anthropoid]]s, Quickstrike hung back with Megatron. Once Dinobot had exhausted most of his power defeating the others, Quickstrike leaped into battle, believing Dinobot to be less of a warrior without his weapons. Dinobot responded by physically beating the Predacon and slamming him head-first into the ground. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron. As it turned out they did, and the Predacons were repelled by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]'s [[transwarp cruiser]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Once Megatron had convinced Ravage to switch sides, the Predacons mounted another attack on the ''Axalon''. Quickstrike rode triumphantly atop [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]'s tank mode... only to be blasted off by Cheetor and subsequently run over by his comrade. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} Quickstrike worked to reassemble himself as Megatron called on the Predacons to get themselves ready for battle. Apparently he wasn't finished in time to take part in the subsequent destruction of the ''Axalon''. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DeepMetal Quickstrike firing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.55|BURRRRRRRRP]]<br />
After Rampage disappeared while on a mission, Megatron sent Quickstrike to look for him. Quickstrike soon found the crab at the mercy of [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], and was only too happy to lend a hand by shooting the Maximal newcomer. Sadly he didn't have long to celebrate his victory before a cluster of missiles fired by Primal blew him away. {{storylink|Deep Metal}} When the Maximals attempted to salvage [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] from the wreck of the ''Axalon'', Quickstrike helped Waspinator by taking on Rattrap and Silverbolt, while his fellow Predacon headed for home with the computer module. He headed over to finish off the unconscious Silverbolt... only to be flattened when Rampage fell on him. {{storylink|Changing of the Guard}}<br />
<br />
While the bulk of the Maximal forces were distracted by Megatron's [[Cyber raptor]]s out in the field, Rampage accompanied the Predacon leader in an assault against the Maximals' home base. Quickstrike was given lead position as they entered the base, arising jealousy from Inferno. The reason as to why Quickstrike was allowed to go first became clear moments later as Quickstrike was taken out by a sequence of booby traps. {{storylink|Cutting Edge}}<br />
<br />
Attempting to find out what had happened to the [[Transmetal driver]], the Predacons interrogated Depth Charge, only to be attacked by a strange feral cat creature. After promising to make the creature into a ghost, Quickstrike chased it behind a rock. His snake head came back minus the rest of him. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1}} During the construction of the [[disruptor cannon]], Quickstrike was the only one <s>foolish</s> brave enough to be welding ''inside'' the weapon barrel when Inferno plugged it in, and was knocked off his perch by the energy surge. Once they got the cannon working, Quickstrike's prognosis of "lookin' good!" proved premature, as it exploded in their faces. {{storylink|Go with the Flow}} Quickstrike and the other Predacons attempted to disrupt the power in the Maximal base during an attempt by the Maximals to remove Blackarachnia's Predacon [[shell program]]. He was swiftly dispatched by Cheetor. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MasterBlaster Quickstrike in Optimus suit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Check out mah fancy duds!]]<br />
Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />
<br />
Furious, Megatron held a trial for Quickstrike, however it was interrupted by an unexpected incursion — the [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]] destroyed the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. Quickstrike was literally blown away along with his Predacon comrades, leaving Megatron the only one standing to face Tigerhawk. {{storylink|Other Victories}} In the aftermath, Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator were sent by Megatron to find a new base. They decided on attacking an anthropoid colony, though Waspinator refused and was slagged by the other two. Quickstrike and Inferno charged, only to meet with heavy resistance from the natives. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} They finally got the early humans on the run, and were overjoyed to see the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]] appear overhead... until the main [[fusion cannon]] fired on the site, killing them both. Among the parts of him salvaged by the early humans were his cobra tail, used as a trumpet, his claws used as a spit, and his faceplate, used as a mask. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}<br />

<br />
====3H comics====<br />
After Megatron gained his dragon body, a temporal distortion drew the attention of both the Maximals and Predacons to a remote canyon, where Quickstrike and his fellow Predacons met their foes. The Maximals were losing, having been fought into a corner, when suddenly the battle was interrupted. The [[Dark Essence]], the source of the temporal distortion, had possessed the newcomer [[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]] with the life force of [[Unicron]]. Quickstrike and the others were immobilized by Windrazor/Unicron's psionic force blasts, and the merged creature advanced on the Maximals. {{storylink|Paradox}}<br />
<br />
====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====<br />
While waiting for his trial for betraying Megatron, Quickstrike was approached by his leader (who'd seemingly taken to talking to himself of late) and given a new mission. He flew over Maximal territory on a small glider, dropping off a small device into the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] before retiring to a safe position to observe. The device soon caused the Maximals to be at each other's throats, a fact he gleefully reported to Megatron. As his leader proceeded with the rest of the plan, Quickstrike relaxed in the sun, and was subsequently unprepared when the Maximals, having overcome the effects of the device, pounced on him. {{storylink|A Meeting of Minds}}<br />

As [[Magmatron]] surveyed the timestream, he witnessed several key moments during the Beast Wars. Among these moments was Quickstrike and Silverbolt's initial initiation into the Predacon ranks. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br />
<br />
Hearing a commotion at some point after the Predacons acquired Sentinel, a distressed Inferno rushed to where he has last left Megatron, bringing Quickstrike in tow. Both were surprised to see that Megatron had completely vanished. In reality, their leader had been chronologically displaced by Magmatron and his lackeys. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}<br />

'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

[[File:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Say howdy to mah head!]]<br />
Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]]. When the [[Planet Buster]] exploded, his [[stasis pod]] was knocked out of orbit and crashed in [[Delta Quadrant]], an unstable region. His malfunctioning [[DNA scanner]] gave Quickstrike a dual scorpion/snake [[beast mode]], however when he was awakened, he had no knowledge of his identity as a Maximal. His first action was to engage his fellow [[Fuzor]] [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] in a sparring match. His aggressive nature made him an easy convert to the Predacon cause for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], and he was soon happily attacking the Maximals. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}} He took part in the defeat of the Maximals, but only until [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] was resurrected as a [[Transmetal]]. During the fight against the Maximal leader, he was slagged by one of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s errant missiles. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MaximalNoMore Quickstrike mid-shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|" 'Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate'... Ah don't ''like'' you wiki writers no more."]]<br />
A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto. When the cave they'd been sent to build at was apparently destroyed, he only retreated after a lengthy parting shot. {{storylink|Tangled Web}} Taking part in an ambush, Quickstrike got the drop on Rattrap, but Rattrap was able to out-draw him and blasted him off a cliff. Quickstrike survived, and when [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] attempted to change sides, was only too happy to face the much-larger Maximal in one-on-one combat. Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]]. They were unprepared when an [[Metal Hunter|alien construct]] appeared and blasted them all. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} Quickstrike, due to some Transmetal-like quality of his form, recovered quickly from the blast, and ventured into the construct with Megatron and Tarantulas. Megatron soon used him as a guinea pig to see if the construct's defences would respond to them — luckily for Quickstrike, they didn't. After Megatron had taken control of the ship, Quickstrike and the other Predacons defended it against a Maximal attack. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodeofHero Quickstrike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.34|"Awww, this happens every time Ah try to do a barbeque..."]]<br />
While Blackarachnia and Silverbolt were traipsing around the jungle together, Megatron, Quickstrike and Inferno spied on them using a bugging device planted earlier. {{storylink|Bad Spark}} Perhaps uncharacteristically, while the other Predacons were torching a valley full of [[anthropoid]]s, Quickstrike hung back with Megatron. Once Dinobot had exhausted most of his power defeating the others, Quickstrike leaped into battle, believing Dinobot to be less of a warrior without his weapons. Dinobot responded by physically beating the Predacon and slamming him head-first into the ground. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron. As it turned out they did, and the Predacons were repelled by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]'s [[transwarp cruiser]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Once Megatron had convinced Ravage to switch sides, the Predacons mounted another attack on the ''Axalon''. Quickstrike rode triumphantly atop [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]'s tank mode... only to be blasted off by Cheetor and subsequently run over by his comrade. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} Quickstrike worked to reassemble himself as Megatron called on the Predacons to get themselves ready for battle. Apparently he wasn't finished in time to take part in the subsequent destruction of the ''Axalon''. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DeepMetal Quickstrike firing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.55|BURRRRRRRRP]]<br />
After Rampage disappeared while on a mission, Megatron sent Quickstrike to look for him. Quickstrike soon found the crab at the mercy of [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], and was only too happy to lend a hand by shooting the Maximal newcomer. Sadly he didn't have long to celebrate his victory before a cluster of missiles fired by Primal blew him away. {{storylink|Deep Metal}} When the Maximals attempted to salvage [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] from the wreck of the ''Axalon'', Quickstrike helped Waspinator by taking on Rattrap and Silverbolt, while his fellow Predacon headed for home with the computer module. He headed over to finish off the unconscious Silverbolt... only to be flattened when Rampage fell on him. {{storylink|Changing of the Guard}}<br />
<br />
While the bulk of the Maximal forces were distracted by Megatron's [[Cyber raptor]]s out in the field, Rampage accompanied the Predacon leader in an assault against the Maximals' home base. Quickstrike was given lead position as they entered the base, arising jealousy from Inferno. The reason as to why Quickstrike was allowed to go first became clear moments later as Quickstrike was taken out by a sequence of booby traps. {{storylink|Cutting Edge}}<br />
<br />
Attempting to find out what had happened to the [[Transmetal driver]], the Predacons interrogated Depth Charge, only to be attacked by a strange feral cat creature. After promising to make the creature into a ghost, Quickstrike chased it behind a rock. His snake head came back minus the rest of him. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1}} During the construction of the [[disruptor cannon]], Quickstrike was the only one <s>foolish</s> brave enough to be welding ''inside'' the weapon barrel when Inferno plugged it in, and was knocked off his perch by the energy surge. Once they got the cannon working, Quickstrike's prognosis of "lookin' good!" proved premature, as it exploded in their faces. {{storylink|Go with the Flow}} Quickstrike and the other Predacons attempted to disrupt the power in the Maximal base during an attempt by the Maximals to remove Blackarachnia's Predacon [[shell program]]. He was swiftly dispatched by Cheetor. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MasterBlaster Quickstrike in Optimus suit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Check out mah fancy duds!]]<br />
Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />
<br />
Furious, Megatron held a trial for Quickstrike, however it was interrupted by an unexpected incursion — the [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]] destroyed the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. Quickstrike was literally blown away along with his Predacon comrades, leaving Megatron the only one standing to face Tigerhawk. {{storylink|Other Victories}} In the aftermath, Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator were sent by Megatron to find a new base. They decided on attacking an anthropoid colony, though Waspinator refused and was slagged by the other two. Quickstrike and Inferno charged, only to meet with heavy resistance from the natives. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} They finally got the early humans on the run, and were overjoyed to see the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]] appear overhead... until the main [[fusion cannon]] fired on the site, killing them both. Among the parts of him salvaged by the early humans were his cobra tail, used as a trumpet, his claws used as a spit, and his faceplate, used as a mask. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}<br />

====3H comics====<br />
After Megatron gained his dragon body, a temporal distortion drew the attention of both the Maximals and Predacons to a remote canyon, where Quickstrike and his fellow Predacons met their foes. The Maximals were losing, having been fought into a corner, when suddenly the battle was interrupted. The [[Dark Essence]], the source of the temporal distortion, had possessed the newcomer [[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]] with the life force of [[Unicron]]. Quickstrike and the others were immobilized by Windrazor/Unicron's psionic force blasts, and the merged creature advanced on the Maximals. {{storylink|Paradox}}<br />
<br />
====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====<br />
While waiting for his trial for betraying Megatron, Quickstrike was approached by his leader (who'd seemingly taken to talking to himself of late) and given a new mission. He flew over Maximal territory on a small glider, dropping off a small device into the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] before retiring to a safe position to observe. The device soon caused the Maximals to be at each other's throats, a fact he gleefully reported to Megatron. As his leader proceeded with the rest of the plan, Quickstrike relaxed in the sun, and was subsequently unprepared when the Maximals, having overcome the effects of the device, pounced on him. {{storylink|A Meeting of Minds}}<br />

====2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity====<br />
[[File:BWGatherQuickstrike.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br />
As [[Magmatron]] surveyed the timestream, he witnessed several key moments during the Beast Wars. Among these moments was Quickstrike and Silverbolt's initial initiation into the Predacon ranks. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br />
<br />
Hearing a commotion at some point after the Predacons acquired Sentinel, a distressed Inferno rushed to where he has last left Megatron, bringing Quickstrike in tow. Both were surprised to see that Megatron had completely vanished. In reality, their leader had been chronologically displaced by Magmatron and his lackeys. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}<br />
<br />
====Waspscream continuity====<br />
In [[Primax 208.06 Zeta]], Quickstrike joined the hybrid [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-[[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] entity's successful coup against Megatron. Waspscream later released [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]] from containment to force Protoform X into his service, but not before Protoform X offlined Quickstrike. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}<br />

Following the [[Quantum surge]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] Quickstrike was upgraded into a [[Transmetal]]. Combining the mutated blood in his body with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s warrior drones, Quickstrike fashioned himself the [[Scorpion Corps]] and [[Cobra Corps]]. With his new army, he proceeded to attack the weakened Maximal base, gradually depleting [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel's]] defenses. When the Maximals were forced to shut Sentinel down to let [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] in, Quickstrike's attacks really began to take a toll. Seeing an opening, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] entered the base and confronted the Maximals inside.<br />
<br />
After she had finished, she left the base just as Quickstrike's forces caused it to collapse completely. Angry at her "interference", Quickstrike began to berate her. Not in the mood, Blackarachnia proceeded to kick Quickstrike's head clean off. Weeping, Quickstrike's noggin sat helplessly on the ground as his decapitated body scrambled around blindly. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike recovered, but was promptly killed alongside his troopers by [[Jaguar]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}} When Megatron freed the sparks eaten by Rampage, however, the released energies revived Quickstrike as a mindless zombie. He attacked Optimus Primal along with several other zombies, but was ultimately destroyed for good by Primal's rocket-fists. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 5|Beast Wars Metals #5}}<br />
<br />
===Legends World===<br />
Quickstrike arrived at Tera-Kura Co. for a job interview with Megatron but was taken aback when Megatron asked no questions but instead produced an hourglass and demands that he "appeal to me" (Megatron had recently watched [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|the third movie]]). {{storylink|Legends Vol. 16#The Results of Mega-chan's Studies|The Results of Mega-chan's Studies}} He made the cut, as he was later among Megatron's employees. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 63|Bonus Edition Vol. 63}}<br />
<br />
After the [[Legends World]] was restored, Quickstrike watched on as [[T-AI|Ai]] attempted to arrest [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] in [[Tera-Kura Co.]] {{Storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}<br />
<br />
===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br />
Quickstrike participated in Battle MCMXXIII of the [[Games (competition)|Games]], a three-day long struggle that culminated in a stand-off between him and [[Stinkbomb]]. After a heated hand-to-hand battle between the two, Stinkbomb's chemical gun failed him, giving Quickstrike the opening he needed to fire his tail weapon and kill his opponent, winning the game for the Predacons. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}<br />

In the second half of Issue#2, Applejack's duel with the renegade Decepticon desperado Wild Wheel in the Sea of Rust was interrupted when Quickstrike sprang out from the ground and attacked, praising King Sombra without using his western-country expressions, but he and a mind-controlled Skids were both swiftly defeated by the earth pony and gunslinger thanks to their sharp senses and reflexes, leaving two of King Sombra's thralls down for the count until a long-term solution for freeing them could be found. He is reimagined here as a Deception scout and hunter. {{storylink|One-Trick Pony}}<br />

Quickstrike fights under the command of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] once more, this time with several allies from (potentially) different universes and/or timelines.

Quickstrike's beast mode, however, has obvious robotic joints in his claws, gaps in his back, and most notably, ''his visible robot head'' on the underside. <br />

A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto.

Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]].

Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron.

[[File:MasterBlaster Quickstrike in Optimus suit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Check out mah fancy duds!]]<br />
Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />
<br />
Furious, Megatron held a trial for Quickstrike, however it was interrupted by an unexpected incursion — the [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]] destroyed the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. Quickstrike was literally blown away along with his Predacon comrades, leaving Megatron the only one standing to face Tigerhawk. {{storylink|Other Victories}} In the aftermath, Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator were sent by Megatron to find a new base. They decided on attacking an anthropoid colony, though Waspinator refused and was slagged by the other two. Quickstrike and Inferno charged, only to meet with heavy resistance from the natives. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} They finally got the early humans on the run, and were overjoyed to see the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]] appear overhead... until the main [[fusion cannon]] fired on the site, killing them both. Among the parts of him salvaged by the early humans were his cobra tail, used as a trumpet, his claws used as a spit, and his faceplate, used as a mask. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}<br />

After Megatron gained his dragon body, a temporal distortion drew the attention of both the Maximals and Predacons to a remote canyon, where Quickstrike and his fellow Predacons met their foes. The Maximals were losing, having been fought into a corner, when suddenly the battle was interrupted. The [[Dark Essence]], the source of the temporal distortion, had possessed the newcomer [[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]] with the life force of [[Unicron]]. Quickstrike and the others were immobilized by Windrazor/Unicron's psionic force blasts, and the merged creature advanced on the Maximals. {{storylink|Paradox}}<br />

====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====<br />
While waiting for his trial for betraying Megatron, Quickstrike was approached by his leader (who'd seemingly taken to talking to himself of late) and given a new mission. He flew over Maximal territory on a small glider, dropping off a small device into the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] before retiring to a safe position to observe. The device soon caused the Maximals to be at each other's throats, a fact he gleefully reported to Megatron. As his leader proceeded with the rest of the plan, Quickstrike relaxed in the sun, and was subsequently unprepared when the Maximals, having overcome the effects of the device, pounced on him. {{storylink|A Meeting of Minds}}<br />

Hearing a commotion at some point after the Predacons acquired Sentinel, a distressed Inferno rushed to where he has last left Megatron, bringing Quickstrike in tow.

Following the [[Quantum surge]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] Quickstrike was upgraded into a [[Transmetal]]. Combining the mutated blood in his body with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s warrior drones, Quickstrike fashioned himself the [[Scorpion Corps]] and [[Cobra Corps]]. With his new army, he proceeded to attack the weakened Maximal base, gradually depleting [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel's]] defenses. When the Maximals were forced to shut Sentinel down to let [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] in, Quickstrike's attacks really began to take a toll. Seeing an opening, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] entered the base and confronted the Maximals inside.<br />
<br />
After she had finished, she left the base just as Quickstrike's forces caused it to collapse completely. Angry at her "interference", Quickstrike began to berate her. Not in the mood, Blackarachnia proceeded to kick Quickstrike's head clean off. Weeping, Quickstrike's noggin sat helplessly on the ground as his decapitated body scrambled around blindly. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}<br />

Quickstrike recovered, but was promptly killed alongside his troopers by [[Jaguar]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}} When Megatron freed the sparks eaten by Rampage, however, the released energies revived Quickstrike as a mindless zombie.

Quickstrike arrived at Tera-Kura Co. for a job interview with Megatron but was taken aback when Megatron asked no questions but instead produced an hourglass and demands that he "appeal to me" (Megatron had recently watched [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|the third movie]]). {{storylink|Legends Vol. 16#The Results of Mega-chan's Studies|The Results of Mega-chan's Studies}} He made the cut, as he was later among Megatron's employees. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 63|Bonus Edition Vol. 63}}<br />

: Quickstrike transforms into a scorpion with a cobra's head on his tail rather than a stinger. The cobra head has a soft-plastic bladder than can be used to store and [[Water-squirting gimmick|squirt water]]. Most of its orange parts are translucent plastic, and make extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, particularly in its tail. While this provides excellent articulation, care should be taken as the joints loosen rather quickly with play.<br />
<br />
: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy, released in September 1999 as part of the first wave of ''Metals'' toys, has extra blue paint applications on its face and red paint for its eyes. Its scorpion legs are cast in a darker orange color.<br />
<br />
: Oddly, the Hasbro version of Quickstrike, in Hasbro packaging with a large Japanese-language sticker on the back, was available in Japan long before the ''Metals'' release as a prize at KFC restaurants in December 1998 as part of a promotion for the ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'' movie. Kids' meals came with a special token used to activate a "gacha" capsule machine in the restaurants; among a number of ''Beast Wars'' themed goods was a special capsule that won the contestant a Hasbro Quickstrike.<ref>[http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html]</ref><br />

{{--}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />
*Quickstrike's CGI model has a considerably more toy-accurate beast mode than other non-[[Transmetal]] characters. Usually with organic beast modes, all the gaps, seams, and joints that come with the nature of being a Transformer are filled in or omitted to present a completely enclosed animal body. Quickstrike's beast mode, however, has obvious robotic joints in his claws, gaps in his back, and most notably, ''his visible robot head'' on the underside. <br />

'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]].

: Quickstrike transforms into a scorpion with a cobra's head on his tail rather than a stinger. The cobra head has a soft-plastic bladder than can be used to store and [[Water-squirting gimmick|squirt water]]. Most of its orange parts are translucent plastic, and make extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, particularly in its tail. While this provides excellent articulation, care should be taken as the joints loosen rather quickly with play.<br />
<br />
: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy, released in September 1999 as part of the first wave of ''Metals'' toys, has extra blue paint applications on its face and red paint for its eyes. Its scorpion legs are cast in a darker orange color.<br />
<br />
: Oddly, the Hasbro version of Quickstrike, in Hasbro packaging with a large Japanese-language sticker on the back, was available in Japan long before the ''Metals'' release as a prize at KFC restaurants in December 1998 as part of a promotion for the ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'' movie. Kids' meals came with a special token used to activate a "gacha" capsule machine in the restaurants; among a number of ''Beast Wars'' themed goods was a special capsule that won the contestant a Hasbro Quickstrike.<ref>[http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html]</ref><br />

{{--}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />
*Quickstrike's CGI model has a considerably more toy-accurate beast mode than other non-[[Transmetal]] characters. Usually with organic beast modes, all the gaps, seams, and joints that come with the nature of being a Transformer are filled in or omitted to present a completely enclosed animal body. Quickstrike's beast mode, however, has obvious robotic joints in his claws, gaps in his back, and most notably, ''his visible robot head'' on the underside. <br />

'''Quickstrike''' is a violent, trigger-happy cowboy who rarely thinks beyond the next "keister he's gonna kick." This simple-minded lust for beating others up seems to be his overriding personality trait. While this makes him easy to manipulate, which [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] finds extremely useful, the problem he has found is that Quickstrike is ''so'' easy to manipulate that Megatron's not the only one doing so! Both [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] have their hooks in him in some form or another, leading Megatron to consider controlling the vicious little bugger through the good old-fashioned method: fear of death. Quickstrike may be stupidly brave most of the time, but only to a point.<br />

[[File:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Say howdy to mah head!]]<br />
Quickstrike was originally one of the [[Maximal]] [[protoform]]s stored aboard the ''Axalon'', prior to it crashlanding on prehistoric [[Earth]]. When the [[Planet Buster]] exploded, his [[stasis pod]] was knocked out of orbit and crashed in [[Delta Quadrant]], an unstable region. His malfunctioning [[DNA scanner]] gave Quickstrike a dual scorpion/snake [[beast mode]], however when he was awakened, he had no knowledge of his identity as a Maximal. His first action was to engage his fellow [[Fuzor]] [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] in a sparring match. His aggressive nature made him an easy convert to the Predacon cause for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], and he was soon happily attacking the Maximals. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}} He took part in the defeat of the Maximals, but only until [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] was resurrected as a [[Transmetal]]. During the fight against the Maximal leader, he was slagged by one of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s errant missiles. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:MaximalNoMore Quickstrike mid-shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|" 'Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate'... Ah don't ''like'' you wiki writers no more."]]<br />
A short time later, Quickstrike was sent with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] on a mission to build a refueling station at a cave full of energon. Both spiders found Quickstrike to be ludicrously easy to manipulate, as all he was really interested in was a good fight, and possibly relations with Blackarachnia. Quickstrike was overjoyed when [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and Silverbolt turned up and threw himself into the battle with his usual gusto. When the cave they'd been sent to build at was apparently destroyed, he only retreated after a lengthy parting shot. {{storylink|Tangled Web}} Taking part in an ambush, Quickstrike got the drop on Rattrap, but Rattrap was able to out-draw him and blasted him off a cliff. Quickstrike survived, and when [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] attempted to change sides, was only too happy to face the much-larger Maximal in one-on-one combat. Though he was defeated, Dinobot refused to terminate him, claiming he'd make a good soldier with some training. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] attempted unsuccessfully to defend a jamming tower against Dinobot and Rattrap. Once they reported back to Megatron, they and the other Predacons proceeded to an alien site which had been discovered in the meantime, and set up a [[refractive web]]. They were unprepared when an [[Metal Hunter|alien construct]] appeared and blasted them all. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}} Quickstrike, due to some Transmetal-like quality of his form, recovered quickly from the blast, and ventured into the construct with Megatron and Tarantulas. Megatron soon used him as a guinea pig to see if the construct's defences would respond to them — luckily for Quickstrike, they didn't. After Megatron had taken control of the ship, Quickstrike and the other Predacons defended it against a Maximal attack. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:CodeofHero Quickstrike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.34|"Awww, this happens every time Ah try to do a barbeque..."]]<br />
While Blackarachnia and Silverbolt were traipsing around the jungle together, Megatron, Quickstrike and Inferno spied on them using a bugging device planted earlier. {{storylink|Bad Spark}} Perhaps uncharacteristically, while the other Predacons were torching a valley full of [[anthropoid]]s, Quickstrike hung back with Megatron. Once Dinobot had exhausted most of his power defeating the others, Quickstrike leaped into battle, believing Dinobot to be less of a warrior without his weapons. Dinobot responded by physically beating the Predacon and slamming him head-first into the ground. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}<br />
<br />
Quickstrike took part in a desperate attack on the ''Axalon'' when it seemed as though the Maximals would be receiving help from Cybertron. As it turned out they did, and the Predacons were repelled by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]'s [[transwarp cruiser]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Once Megatron had convinced Ravage to switch sides, the Predacons mounted another attack on the ''Axalon''. Quickstrike rode triumphantly atop [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]'s tank mode... only to be blasted off by Cheetor and subsequently run over by his comrade. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} Quickstrike worked to reassemble himself as Megatron called on the Predacons to get themselves ready for battle. Apparently he wasn't finished in time to take part in the subsequent destruction of the ''Axalon''. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}<br />
<br />
[[File:DeepMetal Quickstrike firing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.55|BURRRRRRRRP]]<br />
After Rampage disappeared while on a mission, Megatron sent Quickstrike to look for him. Quickstrike soon found the crab at the mercy of [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]], and was only too happy to lend a hand by shooting the Maximal newcomer. Sadly he didn't have long to celebrate his victory before a cluster of missiles fired by Primal blew him away. {{storylink|Deep Metal}} When the Maximals attempted to salvage [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] from the wreck of the ''Axalon'', Quickstrike helped Waspinator by taking on Rattrap and Silverbolt, while his fellow Predacon headed for home with the computer module. He headed over to finish off the unconscious Silverbolt... only to be flattened when Rampage fell on him. {{storylink|Changing of the Guard}}<br />
<br />
While the bulk of the Maximal forces were distracted by Megatron's [[Cyber raptor]]s out in the field, Rampage accompanied the Predacon leader in an assault against the Maximals' home base. Quickstrike was given lead position as they entered the base, arising jealousy from Inferno. The reason as to why Quickstrike was allowed to go first became clear moments later as Quickstrike was taken out by a sequence of booby traps. {{storylink|Cutting Edge}}<br />
<br />
Attempting to find out what had happened to the [[Transmetal driver]], the Predacons interrogated Depth Charge, only to be attacked by a strange feral cat creature. After promising to make the creature into a ghost, Quickstrike chased it behind a rock. His snake head came back minus the rest of him. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1}} During the construction of the [[disruptor cannon]], Quickstrike was the only one <s>foolish</s> brave enough to be welding ''inside'' the weapon barrel when Inferno plugged it in, and was knocked off his perch by the energy surge. Once they got the cannon working, Quickstrike's prognosis of "lookin' good!" proved premature, as it exploded in their faces. {{storylink|Go with the Flow}} Quickstrike and the other Predacons attempted to disrupt the power in the Maximal base during an attempt by the Maximals to remove Blackarachnia's Predacon [[shell program]]. He was swiftly dispatched by Cheetor. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}<br />

[[File:MasterBlaster Quickstrike in Optimus suit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Check out mah fancy duds!]]<br />
Using one of Tarantulas's devices, Optimus Primal was able to be controlled using an exo-suit manipulated by Quickstrike. The Fuzor was able to rapidly disable the other Maximals, allowing the Predacons to take control of the Maximal base. Using the [[Teletraan I]] control codes stored in Primal, Quickstrike and Megatron gained entry to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], within which lay the body of the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron took his predecessor's spark into himself and, while he was weakened from the struggle of doing so, Quickstrike revealed it was a double-cross. On Tarantulas's orders, Quickstrike used Primal to seize the Predacon leader and throw him into the lava outside the Ark. Unfortunately for both the arachnids, Megatron lived, upgraded into a new form. Quickstrike was defeated by Blackarachnia, losing his link with Primal. {{storylink|Master Blaster}}<br />

After a heated hand-to-hand battle between the two, Stinkbomb's chemical gun failed him, giving Quickstrike the opening he needed to fire his tail weapon and kill his opponent, winning the game for the Predacons. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}<br />

In issue#3, Applejack's duel with the renegade Decepticon desperado Wild Wheel in the Sea of Rust was interrupted when Quickstrike sprang out from the ground and attacked, but he and a mind-controlled Skids were both swiftly defeated by the earth pony and gunslinger thanks to their sharp senses and reflexes, leaving two of King Sombra's thralls down for the count until a long-term solution for freeing them could be found.<br />

Quickstrike fights under the command of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] once more, this time with several allies from (potentially) different universes and/or timelines. He now possesses a new body; although his [[beast mode]] is an approximation of his original form, his transformation scheme and [[robot mode]] are distinctively different. {{storylink|3D Battle-Card Game#Energon Wars expansion|Energon Wars Expansion Set}}<br />

*'''Quickstrike''' (Basic Fuzor, 1998)<br />
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-45'''<br />
<br />
: Quickstrike transforms into a scorpion with a cobra's head on his tail rather than a stinger. The cobra head has a soft-plastic bladder than can be used to store and [[Water-squirting gimmick|squirt water]]. Most of its orange parts are translucent plastic, and make extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, particularly in its tail. While this provides excellent articulation, care should be taken as the joints loosen rather quickly with play.<br />
<br />
: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy, released in September 1999 as part of the first wave of ''Metals'' toys, has extra blue paint applications on its face and red paint for its eyes. Its scorpion legs are cast in a darker orange color.<br />
<br />
: Oddly, the Hasbro version of Quickstrike, in Hasbro packaging with a large Japanese-language sticker on the back, was available in Japan long before the ''Metals'' release as a prize at KFC restaurants in December 1998 as part of a promotion for the ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'' movie. Kids' meals came with a special token used to activate a "gacha" capsule machine in the restaurants; among a number of ''Beast Wars'' themed goods was a special capsule that won the contestant a Hasbro Quickstrike.<ref>[http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html http://standfactory555.blog41.fc2.com/blog-entry-435.html]</ref><br />

<br />
: A 33-point "rare" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Quickstrike "transforms" from a gold and green scorpion to a gold and green scorpion standing on its hind legs. He uses the same parts layout as [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Movie]] [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].<br />
{{--}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Like [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], Quickstrike did not have a Predacon shell program installed in his Maximal [[protoform]] state to turn him bad.<br />
*In the jovial Japanese dub, ''Beast Wars Metals'', Quickstrike's cobra tail could talk and think independently from Quickstrike. It would always end its sentences with either "-ko", "-bura", or "-kobura". Another of Quickstrike's quirks in both the cartoon and the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] was that he'd constantly end his sentences in ''gitchon/gitchonchon'', which essentially translates to ''snippity/snippity-snip''.<br />
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Decepticon]] [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]] is an intentional [[homage]] to Quickstrike. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.<br />
*Quickstrike's CGI model has a considerably more toy-accurate beast mode than other non-[[Transmetal]] characters. Usually with organic beast modes, all the gaps, seams, and joints that come with the nature of being a Transformer are filled in or omitted to present a completely enclosed animal body. Quickstrike's beast mode, however, has obvious robotic joints in his claws, gaps in his back, and most notably, ''his visible robot head'' on the underside. <br />

<br />
'''''Transformers: War For Cybertron''''' is an animated series produced by [[Hasbro]] and [[Rooster Teeth]], with animation by [[Polygon Pictures]], based on the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' franchise. [[F.J. DeSanto]] acts as the series showrunner, a role he previously held for the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' web series, with [[George Krstic]], [[Gavin Hignight]], [[Brandon M. Easton]], [[Tim Sheridan]], and [[Mae Catt]] as writers. The show also sees [[Jake Foushee]], [[Jason Marnocha]], and [[Frank Todaro]] reprising their respective roles as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], as well as previous ''Transformers'' alumni [[Keith Silverstein]] and [[Jessica DiGiovanni|Sophia Isabella]] returning for voicework as new characters. Three seasons of the show are planned for release via [[Netflix]], one for each of the franchise's three toylines; the first season was released on [[July 30]], [[2020]], the second season on [[December 30]], 2020, and the third is planned for [[July 29]], [[2021]].<br />
<br />
In conjunction with the series, Hasbro released a Netflix-branded [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Netflix|small toyline]] featuring more [[show-accuracy|animation accurate]] paint jobs.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
In the final hours of the civil war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] has been ravaged by endless battle. Dissent forms amongst both factions and forces grow weaker, leaving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobots on their last leg. Frustrated, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] surrenders to the Decepticons shortly before [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] learns of the mystical [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. He eventually eases himself into [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s plan to use the vessel of life to reformat all Autobots on the planet into Decepticons, unifying them as one faction under his rule. Meanwhile, neutral scavenger [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] wants no part in the war but is forced to join the conflict when he obtains the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]] and the location of the Allspark after the imprisoned Ultra Magnus is murdered. Despite [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]]'s warnings, Optimus Prime forms a plan to flee the planet aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and eject the Allspark, at the cost of the planet itself. The Autobots cautiously trust ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] to lead them into the dangerous [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] to obtain the Allspark, while a reluctant [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and Decepticon [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] repair a derelict [[space bridge]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] repairs the ''Ark'', assisted by Bumblebee's [[energon]] theft from the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. The synchronous plan succeeds, and the ''Ark'' and Allspark each travel to an unknown location, leaving Elita-1 and her team to continue the war effort on Cybertron.<br />
<br />
With Cybertron unable to sustain life, Megatron and the Decepticons plan to flee the dead planet aboard the newly-constructed ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', powered by the sparks of weak and imprisoned Decepticons, though Elita-1 and her team set on freeing them. The ''Ark'' Autobots are taken by Mercenary [[Doubledealer]] and the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'' crew to [[Quintesson Judge]] [[Deseeus]] on [[Chaar]], though a double-cross allows the Autobots to flee, at the cost of Megatron knowing their location. After the ''Nemesis'' departures to follow the ''Ark'', Shockwave lures in more weak for spark harvesting, prompting the now-free [[Scrapface]] and Elita-1's forces to explode [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon Arena]]. Unfortunately, their capture leads to no-escape, as the explosion engulfs both Elita-1 and Shockwave's teams. Elsewhere, the ''Ark'' locates the Allspark and travels to the [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, but their attempts to detonate it to pass through the space-bridge come to a stop by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and Megatron. Eventually, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aboard the ''Nemesis'' fires to kill Megatron as a gambit for power, but the resulting explosion opens a rift to the [[Dead Universe]]. Inside, the ''Ark'' crew find the jaded [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], who takes Optimus Prime on a spiritual journey and helps him open an exit rift to the location of the Allspark: [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, Megatron meets his future-self [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who urges him to use his hatred to kill Optimus Prime, leading to Sky Lynx's sacrifice to save the Autobots. After [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] pulls Galvatron away, the ''Ark'', ''Nemesis'', and the in-pursuit ''Fool's Fortune'' escape the Dead Universe and lock into a dogfight, which ends with Megatron taking the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. The Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer, craving for revenge, attacks the other ships, though retaliation results in the ''Fool's Fortune'' warp-drive exploding, causing the ''Ark'' to crash on pre-historic Earth—but neither the Autobots and Decepticons are aware that they are not the only [[Dinobot (BW)|Cybertronians on the planet]]...<br />

{{comingsoon|when= July 29, 2021}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Originally planned for a June 2020 release, the series premiere was delayed one month, reportedly due to production delays with its foreign-language dubs caused by the {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}.<br />
* During production, the animation team utilized Hasbro's original CAD files for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline. As a result, the character models are absurdly [[show-accuracy|toy-accurate]], down to several even retaining their [[5 mm post]] holes and 3 mm pegs. For the first chapter, characters who did not have toys in the ''Siege'' toy-lineup used original character models or modified pre-existing ones created specifically for the show, with the sole exception being Wheeljack, who uses the model for the ''Earthrise'' toy.<br />
*''Earthrise'' original-models, on the other hand, do not utilize toy CAD files, with the exception of Scorponok and Sky Lynx, the former of which has a much modified beast mode. Nemesis Prime as well is toy accurate, though that is likely due to the toy and the show model coincidentally using the ''Siege'' body for a [[black repaint|black recolor]].<br />
* ''Siege'' was promoted with several motion posters highlighting members of the main cast. In each of these posters, a letter from the [[Cybertronian language|"Ancient Autobot" alphabet]] created by [[Jim Sorenson]] can be seen flashing in the background. When the letters are put in order, they spell out the word "KINGDOM", the name of the trilogy's third subline/season.<ref>[https://twitter.com/nxonnetflix/status/1283960126613774338 Netflix video of all motion posters with the announcement of KINGDOM.]</ref><br />
[[File:WFC-Siege-Ep3-Generics-in-camp.jpg|thumb|250px|It's been alleged the robots featured in this show are 80% clones by volume.]]<br />
* The series features extensive use of [[generic]]s, though both sides use different character models as the base for their troops. The Autobots use Cog, Sideswipe, Mirage, Ironhide, and Hound to pad their forces while the Decepticons use Impactor, Refraktor, Barricade, and, as usual, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. All of these generics except for Cog and Impactor are used for the Sparkless, with Laserbeak used for the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] birds, Impactor for the Dome Guards and a gladiator, and Ironhide for Deseeus's army.<br />
* Upon its initial release in the United States, ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' was given a TV-Y7 designation, despite the show's dark tone, violence, and brief use of coarse language in the first episode. Presumably due to these very criteria, the series was later re-rated to TV-14, making it the first ''Transformers'' television series to carry that designation. Due to the separation of seasons into separate listings (below), ''Earthrise'' keeps the TV-Y7 rating.<br />
* Despite the three parts being advertised as three chapters of one series, when the second ''Earthrise'' trailer released, it also received a separate page on Netflix. The original ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' page's title graphic was also changed to include ''Siege'' and the number 1 behind it. This also means that Netflix calls the ''Earthrise'' episodes "Chapter 1" as well. <br />

Three seasons of the show are planned for release via [[Netflix]], one for each of the franchise's three toylines; the first season was released on [[July 30]], [[2020]], the second season on [[December 30]], 2020, and the third is planned for [[July 29]], [[2021]].<br />
<br />
In conjunction with the series, Hasbro released a Netflix-branded [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Netflix|small toyline]] featuring more [[show-accuracy|animation accurate]] paint jobs.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
In the final hours of the civil war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] has been ravaged by endless battle. Dissent forms amongst both factions and forces grow weaker, leaving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobots on their last leg. Frustrated, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] surrenders to the Decepticons shortly before [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] learns of the mystical [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. He eventually eases himself into [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s plan to use the vessel of life to reformat all Autobots on the planet into Decepticons, unifying them as one faction under his rule. Meanwhile, neutral scavenger [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] wants no part in the war but is forced to join the conflict when he obtains the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]] and the location of the Allspark after the imprisoned Ultra Magnus is murdered. Despite [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]]'s warnings, Optimus Prime forms a plan to flee the planet aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and eject the Allspark, at the cost of the planet itself. The Autobots cautiously trust ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] to lead them into the dangerous [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] to obtain the Allspark, while a reluctant [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and Decepticon [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] repair a derelict [[space bridge]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] repairs the ''Ark'', assisted by Bumblebee's [[energon]] theft from the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. The synchronous plan succeeds, and the ''Ark'' and Allspark each travel to an unknown location, leaving Elita-1 and her team to continue the war effort on Cybertron.<br />
<br />
With Cybertron unable to sustain life, Megatron and the Decepticons plan to flee the dead planet aboard the newly-constructed ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', powered by the sparks of weak and imprisoned Decepticons, though Elita-1 and her team set on freeing them. The ''Ark'' Autobots are taken by Mercenary [[Doubledealer]] and the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'' crew to [[Quintesson Judge]] [[Deseeus]] on [[Chaar]], though a double-cross allows the Autobots to flee, at the cost of Megatron knowing their location. After the ''Nemesis'' departures to follow the ''Ark'', Shockwave lures in more weak for spark harvesting, prompting the now-free [[Scrapface]] and Elita-1's forces to explode [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon Arena]]. Unfortunately, their capture leads to no-escape, as the explosion engulfs both Elita-1 and Shockwave's teams. Elsewhere, the ''Ark'' locates the Allspark and travels to the [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, but their attempts to detonate it to pass through the space-bridge come to a stop by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and Megatron. Eventually, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aboard the ''Nemesis'' fires to kill Megatron as a gambit for power, but the resulting explosion opens a rift to the [[Dead Universe]]. Inside, the ''Ark'' crew find the jaded [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], who takes Optimus Prime on a spiritual journey and helps him open an exit rift to the location of the Allspark: [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, Megatron meets his future-self [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who urges him to use his hatred to kill Optimus Prime, leading to Sky Lynx's sacrifice to save the Autobots. After [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] pulls Galvatron away, the ''Ark'', ''Nemesis'', and the in-pursuit ''Fool's Fortune'' escape the Dead Universe and lock into a dogfight, which ends with Megatron taking the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. The Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer, craving for revenge, attacks the other ships, though retaliation results in the ''Fool's Fortune'' warp-drive exploding, causing the ''Ark'' to crash on pre-historic Earth—but neither the Autobots and Decepticons are aware that they are not the only [[Dinobot (BW)|Cybertronians on the planet]]...<br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Originally planned for a June 2020 release, the series premiere was delayed one month, reportedly due to production delays with its foreign-language dubs caused by the {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}.<br />
* During production, the animation team utilized Hasbro's original CAD files for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline. As a result, the character models are absurdly [[show-accuracy|toy-accurate]], down to several even retaining their [[5 mm post]] holes and 3 mm pegs. For the first chapter, characters who did not have toys in the ''Siege'' toy-lineup used original character models or modified pre-existing ones created specifically for the show, with the sole exception being Wheeljack, who uses the model for the ''Earthrise'' toy.<br />
*''Earthrise'' original-models, on the other hand, do not utilize toy CAD files, with the exception of Scorponok and Sky Lynx, the former of which has a much modified beast mode. Nemesis Prime as well is toy accurate, though that is likely due to the toy and the show model coincidentally using the ''Siege'' body for a [[black repaint|black recolor]].<br />
* ''Siege'' was promoted with several motion posters highlighting members of the main cast. In each of these posters, a letter from the [[Cybertronian language|"Ancient Autobot" alphabet]] created by [[Jim Sorenson]] can be seen flashing in the background. When the letters are put in order, they spell out the word "KINGDOM", the name of the trilogy's third subline/season.<ref>[https://twitter.com/nxonnetflix/status/1283960126613774338 Netflix video of all motion posters with the announcement of KINGDOM.]</ref><br />
[[File:WFC-Siege-Ep3-Generics-in-camp.jpg|thumb|250px|It's been alleged the robots featured in this show are 80% clones by volume.]]<br />
* The series features extensive use of [[generic]]s, though both sides use different character models as the base for their troops. The Autobots use Cog, Sideswipe, Mirage, Ironhide, and Hound to pad their forces while the Decepticons use Impactor, Refraktor, Barricade, and, as usual, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. All of these generics except for Cog and Impactor are used for the Sparkless, with Laserbeak used for the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] birds, Impactor for the Dome Guards and a gladiator, and Ironhide for Deseeus's army.<br />
* Upon its initial release in the United States, ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' was given a TV-Y7 designation, despite the show's dark tone, violence, and brief use of coarse language in the first episode. Presumably due to these very criteria, the series was later re-rated to TV-14, making it the first ''Transformers'' television series to carry that designation. Due to the separation of seasons into separate listings (below), ''Earthrise'' keeps the TV-Y7 rating.<br />
* Despite the three parts being advertised as three chapters of one series, when the second ''Earthrise'' trailer released, it also received a separate page on Netflix. The original ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' page's title graphic was also changed to include ''Siege'' and the number 1 behind it. This also means that Netflix calls the ''Earthrise'' episodes "Chapter 1" as well. <br />

As a result, the character models are absurdly [[show-accuracy|toy-accurate]], down to several even retaining their [[5 mm post]] holes and 3 mm pegs. For the first chapter, characters who did not have toys in the ''Siege'' toy-lineup used original character models or modified pre-existing ones created specifically for the show, with the sole exception being Wheeljack, who uses the model for the ''Earthrise'' toy.<br />
*''Earthrise'' original-models, on the other hand, do not utilize toy CAD files, with the exception of Scorponok and Sky Lynx, the former of which has a much modified beast mode. Nemesis Prime as well is toy accurate, though that is likely due to the toy and the show model coincidentally using the ''Siege'' body for a [[black repaint|black recolor]].<br />
* ''Siege'' was promoted with several motion posters highlighting members of the main cast. In each of these posters, a letter from the [[Cybertronian language|"Ancient Autobot" alphabet]] created by [[Jim Sorenson]] can be seen flashing in the background. When the letters are put in order, they spell out the word "KINGDOM", the name of the trilogy's third subline/season.<ref>[https://twitter.com/nxonnetflix/status/1283960126613774338 Netflix video of all motion posters with the announcement of KINGDOM.]</ref><br />
[[File:WFC-Siege-Ep3-Generics-in-camp.jpg|thumb|250px|It's been alleged the robots featured in this show are 80% clones by volume.]]<br />
* The series features extensive use of [[generic]]s, though both sides use different character models as the base for their troops. The Autobots use Cog, Sideswipe, Mirage, Ironhide, and Hound to pad their forces while the Decepticons use Impactor, Refraktor, Barricade, and, as usual, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. All of these generics except for Cog and Impactor are used for the Sparkless, with Laserbeak used for the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] birds, Impactor for the Dome Guards and a gladiator, and Ironhide for Deseeus's army.<br />
* Upon its initial release in the United States, ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' was given a TV-Y7 designation, despite the show's dark tone, violence, and brief use of coarse language in the first episode. Presumably due to these very criteria, the series was later re-rated to TV-14, making it the first ''Transformers'' television series to carry that designation. Due to the separation of seasons into separate listings (below), ''Earthrise'' keeps the TV-Y7 rating.<br />
* Despite the three parts being advertised as three chapters of one series, when the second ''Earthrise'' trailer released, it also received a separate page on Netflix. The original ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' page's title graphic was also changed to include ''Siege'' and the number 1 behind it. This also means that Netflix calls the ''Earthrise'' episodes "Chapter 1" as well. <br />

<br />
'''''Transformers: War For Cybertron''''' is an animated series produced by [[Hasbro]] and [[Rooster Teeth]], with animation by [[Polygon Pictures]], based on the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' franchise. [[F.J. DeSanto]] acts as the series showrunner, a role he previously held for the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' web series, with [[George Krstic]], [[Gavin Hignight]], [[Brandon M. Easton]], [[Tim Sheridan]], and [[Mae Catt]] as writers. The show also sees [[Jake Foushee]], [[Jason Marnocha]], and [[Frank Todaro]] reprising their respective roles as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], as well as previous ''Transformers'' alumni [[Keith Silverstein]] and [[Jessica DiGiovanni|Sophia Isabella]] returning for voicework as new characters. Three seasons of the show are planned for release via [[Netflix]], one for each of the franchise's three toylines; the first season was released on [[July 30]], [[2020]], the second season on [[December 30]], 2020, and the third is planned for [[July 29]], [[2021]].<br />
<br />
In conjunction with the series, Hasbro released a Netflix-branded [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Netflix|small toyline]] featuring more [[show-accuracy|animation accurate]] paint jobs.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
In the final hours of the civil war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] has been ravaged by endless battle. Dissent forms amongst both factions and forces grow weaker, leaving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobots on their last leg. Frustrated, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] surrenders to the Decepticons shortly before [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] learns of the mystical [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. He eventually eases himself into [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s plan to use the vessel of life to reformat all Autobots on the planet into Decepticons, unifying them as one faction under his rule. Meanwhile, neutral scavenger [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] wants no part in the war but is forced to join the conflict when he obtains the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]] and the location of the Allspark after the imprisoned Ultra Magnus is murdered. Despite [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]]'s warnings, Optimus Prime forms a plan to flee the planet aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and eject the Allspark, at the cost of the planet itself. The Autobots cautiously trust ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] to lead them into the dangerous [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] to obtain the Allspark, while a reluctant [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and Decepticon [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] repair a derelict [[space bridge]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] repairs the ''Ark'', assisted by Bumblebee's [[energon]] theft from the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. The synchronous plan succeeds, and the ''Ark'' and Allspark each travel to an unknown location, leaving Elita-1 and her team to continue the war effort on Cybertron.<br />
<br />
With Cybertron unable to sustain life, Megatron and the Decepticons plan to flee the dead planet aboard the newly-constructed ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', powered by the sparks of weak and imprisoned Decepticons, though Elita-1 and her team set on freeing them. The ''Ark'' Autobots are taken by Mercenary [[Doubledealer]] and the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'' crew to [[Quintesson Judge]] [[Deseeus]] on [[Chaar]], though a double-cross allows the Autobots to flee, at the cost of Megatron knowing their location. After the ''Nemesis'' departures to follow the ''Ark'', Shockwave lures in more weak for spark harvesting, prompting the now-free [[Scrapface]] and Elita-1's forces to explode [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon Arena]]. Unfortunately, their capture leads to no-escape, as the explosion engulfs both Elita-1 and Shockwave's teams. Elsewhere, the ''Ark'' locates the Allspark and travels to the [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, but their attempts to detonate it to pass through the space-bridge come to a stop by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and Megatron. Eventually, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aboard the ''Nemesis'' fires to kill Megatron as a gambit for power, but the resulting explosion opens a rift to the [[Dead Universe]]. Inside, the ''Ark'' crew find the jaded [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], who takes Optimus Prime on a spiritual journey and helps him open an exit rift to the location of the Allspark: [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, Megatron meets his future-self [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who urges him to use his hatred to kill Optimus Prime, leading to Sky Lynx's sacrifice to save the Autobots. After [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] pulls Galvatron away, the ''Ark'', ''Nemesis'', and the in-pursuit ''Fool's Fortune'' escape the Dead Universe and lock into a dogfight, which ends with Megatron taking the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. The Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer, craving for revenge, attacks the other ships, though retaliation results in the ''Fool's Fortune'' warp-drive exploding, causing the ''Ark'' to crash on pre-historic Earth—but neither the Autobots and Decepticons are aware that they are not the only [[Dinobot (BW)|Cybertronians on the planet]]...<br />

{{voiceactor|[[Ryan Nicolls]] (English), [[Tetsu Inada]] (Japanese)}}<br />
Dirge and Ramjet accompanied Starscream and the visiting [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to a [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] match between [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] and [[Polyhex]]. Bored with the game, they relished the opportunity to beat up on [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] before the stadium's security guard intervened, then attempted to assist Starscream in "spicing up" the game with a spiked Cube—a plan that resulted in Ramjet and Dirge being repeatedly bonked on the head by Cubes thrown by Windblade and Bumblebee. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}}<br />
<br />
During the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' crew's search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], Dirge was among the Decepticons who stayed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to fight off [[Autobot]] forces. During the climatic battle with the Autobots upon their return to Cybertron, Dirge got himself blown away by Windblade. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}<br />
<br />
After the Great War ended in the Autobots' favor, Dirge was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Dirge was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Decepticons thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammer]]s into the Loop. {{storylink|The Scientist}}<br />
<br />
As part of a team-building exercise, Dirge was placed in a team with [[Alphastrike]], [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], and [[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]]. He was manhandled by a drone before being saved by Grimlock. {{storylink|The Alliance}} Dirge took part in aerial attack on the Quintesson [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and allowed Kup to ride on his jet mode, but was easily knocked out by a shockwave. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}<br />
<br />
After the Quintesson flagship had been destroyed, the new Judge revealed himself as Starscream, who unleashed a brainwashed [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]] on the planet. Rallying behind Jetfire, Dirge was part of an aerial attack that launched a futile attack on the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]. Once the Quintession threat ended following Megatron's return, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}<br />
<br />
When [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] infiltrated the Decepticon half of Cybertron in search of a comatose Windblade, Dirge was among the Decepticons who surrounded them. However, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] was able to convince Megatron to release the trio, citing an Autobot held captive in Decepticon territory as treason. The Decepticons complied and let Bumblebee and Whirl go. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}<br />
<br />
Dirge and Ramjet were busy firing their [[null-ray]]s at a Decepticon soldier in an act of amusement before an unimpressed [[Wildwheel]] shot their barrels, prompting the two coneheads to flee. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}<br />

During the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' crew's search for the Allspark, Ramjet was among the Decepticons who stayed on Cybertron to fight off [[Autobot]] forces.

After the Great War ended in the Autobots' favor, Ramjet was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Ramjet was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Decepticons thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammer]]s into the Loop. {{storylink|The Scientist}}<br />

Ramjet was present at the alliance pact between the Autobots and Decepticons, during which he grinned at an accusation made to him by an outraged Autobot soldier.{{storylink|The Alliance}} Ramjet took part in aerial attack on the Quintesson [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], but was easily knocked out by a shockwave. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}<br />
<br />
After the Quintesson flagship had been destroyed, the new Judge revealed himself as Starscream, who unleashed a brainwashed [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]] on the planet. Rallying behind Jetfire, Ramjet was part of an aerial attack that launched a futile attack on the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] that saw Ramjet getting knocked out of the sky and crashing into [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]]. Once the Quintession threat ended following Megatron's return, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}<br />

When [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] infiltrated the Decepticon half of Cybertron in search of a comatose Windblade, Ramjet was among the Decepticons who surrounded them. However, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] was able to convince Megatron to release the trio, citing an Autobot held captive in Decepticon territory as treason.

*'''Ramjet''' (Scout Class, [[2019]])<br />
**''Action Attack'': "Cranium Crush"<br />
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Ramjet is a Legends-sized toy that transforms from a robot to <s>a jet with a robot chest and head for a front half</s> a "transformational" mode in five easy steps. His "Cranium Crush" Action Attack gimmick causes his head and chest to spin and pop out of jet mode when triggered. Unlike many ''Cyberverse'' Scout Class figures, Ramjet can basically assume a full vehicle mode in spite of the oddly-shaped cockpit.<br />

*Ramjet's design is robust and streamlined version of, but nonetheless a homage to, his Generation 1 [[Ramjet (G1)|counterpart]], right down to the conehead aesthetics.<br />

<br />
'''Wheeljack''' is indispensable to the [[Autobot]] cause, inventing weapons, armor, explosives and everything else you could want to battle [[Decepticon]]s. It's just a pity that he gets ''so'' enthusiastic about his work that he sometimes ends up just blowing stuff up.<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official Hasbro USA ''Cyberverse'' website</ref> On the other hand, he ''loves'' blowing up alien technology.<br />

{{voiceactor|[[Billy Bob Thompson]] (English), [[Yōji Ueda]] (Japanese)|[[Olivier Cuvellier]] (French), [[Frank Schröder]] (German), [[Lorenzo Scattorin]] (Italian)}}<br />
[[File:Wheeljack - Cyberverse - The Journey.jpg|thumb|left|320px|I now pronounce this "Hyneman Mountain".]]<br />
Before the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Wheeljack worked closely with [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]], helping his colleague build his [[Shockwave's drones|helper drones]] and showing off the prototype to a crowd at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Wheeljack was present at Maccadam's when the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] team won. {{storylink|The Citizen}}<br />
<br />
During the Great War, Wheeljack fled across a battlefield alongside [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] only to realize they had become separated from the latter. As Wheeljack attempted to deter Bumblebee from going back for their wounded friend, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] arrived, carrying Prowl on his shoulders whereupon he ordered Wheeljack to go find [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}<br />
<br />
Part of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] crew, Wheeljack devoted his time to improving the ship's systems to speed up their search for the [[AllSpark]] though his results were mostly met with explosions and a quick consumption of the ship's increasingly limited [[energon]] reserves. By the time that Optimus had ordered everyone into [[stasis pod]]s, Wheeljack had managed to boost the power of the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s scanners by a power of 10. With these modifications, [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] was able to pick up the AllSpark... a second after the crew had entered stasis. {{storylink|The Journey}}<br />
<br />
After Shockwave had hacked into Bumblebee's [[cortical psychic patch]], he trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy. Within the memory, Bumblebee had sabotaged the energon filtration systems of engines five and seven, an act witnessed by Wheeljack. When the engineer confronted Bumblebee about this, the scout stunned him and threw him out an airlock only for Ratchet to catch him in the act. Brought back aboard, Wheeljack attended Bumblebee's court martial where he dramatically pointed Bumblebee out to the viewing gallery. {{storylink|Sabotage}}<br />
<br />
Teletraan-1 eventually tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]] only for the ''Ark'' to suffer a hull breach and crash land in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Some 66 million years later, Wheeljack, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by Bumblebee and [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] in time to see the [[Decepticon fleet]] invade Earth. {{storylink|Eruption}}<br />

<br />
As the ''Ark'' entered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s atmosphere, Wheeljack eagerly awaited to return home. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} However, along with the rest of the crew, he bailed out of the ship when Optimus suspected a Decepticon trap. He took part in the fight with the amassed Decepticon forces, during which he fought [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] and was saved from an execution at the hands of [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] by Optimus. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}<br />

*'''Wheeljack''' (1-Step Changer, 2019)<br />
**''Japanese name'': '''Turbo Change Wheeljack'''<br />
**''Japanese release date'': [[Calendar|August]] [[2019]]<br />
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TCV-09'''<br />
**''Action Attack:'' "Gravity Cannon"<br />
<br />
:Released as part of the fourth wave of [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|''Cyberverse'']] [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#1-Step Changers|1-Step Changers]], Wheeljack transforms from vehicle to robot by peeling off his roof and windscreen section (and folding down his feet). In robot mode he features the "Gravity Cannon" Action Attack, a launcher on his shoulder that extends a grey blast effect via pressure launch. This piece does not actually leave the barrel of the cannon as in previous conventional projectile launchers, but merely shoots forward and stops. The cannon itself can detach from Wheeljack's shoulder and be held in either of his 5mm compatible hands. His face is sculpted in an attempt to resemble his bearded mouth on-screen look but fails by not actually sculpting or painting a beard on there.<br />

*'''Wheeljack''' (Scout Class, 2019)<br />
**''Action Attack'': "Gravity Cannon"<br />
:This new Wheeljack is an all new sculpt, featuring a more show-accurate design than the one-step changer. Like the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists. Unlike the aformentioned figure, this Wheeljack doesn't fully convert into a vehicle, and the "Gravity Cannon" Action Attack now simply deploys twin missile pods over his shoulders.<br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Wheeljack-robot-mode.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]<br />
*As many others of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Wheeljack's design is based on an [[evergreen]] design inspired by his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], complete with translucent "bandages" (energy? glass?) where he has blown himself up.<br />
*What makes this version of Wheeljack stand out from most other is that he drops the traditional ridged faceplate for a mustache-and-beard combo inspired by [[Wheeljack (Animated)|''Animated'' Wheeljack]], which was previously homaged as a hidden feature on his Generation 1 counterpart's [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' toy]].<br />
*Wheeljack's hunched stature, meanwhile, is derived from [[Wheeljack (Prime)|"Aligned" Wheeljack]].<br />
*The [[nervous bot]] that carries the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] to [[Velocitron]] in "[[Terminal Velocity]]" reuses Wheeljack's animation model.<br />
*Concept art showed that like his ''Prime'' counterpart, Wheeljack has a retractable facemask. Unlike most versions of the character, his wings were retractable.<br />

===Foreign names===<br />

Also, Ratchet was mentioned during the first act in Central City by Windblade, so he should be on the list of Autobots as well.</p>

<hr />
<div>{{previewbastard}}<br />
Where are you getting all this info about the characters in Battlegrounds? I have yet to see any of them show up in any screenshots or footage. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:15, 28 July 2020 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I noticed Wheeljack using a force-field to protect himself from shadow Striker's long-ranged blast in the trailer as we follow Optimus Prime past Windblade's fight with Nova Storm. Ratchet, Hot Rod and some of the Seekers were included because of their CGI models and this is supposed to be an adaptation of the first two seasons' story arc. The rest are just estimates. --<br />
[[User:Bradn8r|Bradn8r]] ([[User talk:Bradn8r|talk]]) 15:57, 28 July 2020 (EDT)<br />
: When was it said this was an adaptation of the first two seasons? Also, we don't make estimates; if they're not explicitly shown, don't add them. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:47, 28 July 2020 (EDT)<br />
STOP adding characters that are only mentioned to character tables; we don’t do that here. You’ve been told three times now. -[[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]])<br />
<br />
I'm sorry if you are angry. I only added Ratchet, Battleslash, Roadtrap and Blackjack because I've been watching the walk-through on Youtube where their chracter names and models are used. As for Ramjet, he hasn't appeared yet. --<br />

===Continuity notes===<br />
* ''Battlegrounds'' is set in an alternate version of the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|''Cyberverse'' cartoon continuity]]; although it picks up where "[[Eruption]]" left off, it is otherwise largely irreconcilable with the events of that show's second season. A conversation between [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] suggests that this game takes place in one of the many alternate universes that the ''Cyberverse'' cartoon repeatedly alluded to over the course of its second and third seasons.<br />
