'''Quickstrike''' kinda creeps the other Maximals out. There's no question that he's devoted to the cause, using his smarts and stealth skills to maximum effect against the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]... but he almost always works alone in the shadows. The only other Maximal he's willing to work with on a mission is [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and frankly, they don't even ''like'' each other.

Despite his "silent hunter" schtick, Quickstrike loves music.

*'''Quickstrike''' (Basic, [[2000]])

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Basics, Quickstrike transforms into a technorganic wolf, and features an opening jaw. In [[robot mode]], his left arm hides a translucent spring-loaded blade that deploys when a button on the arm is pressed. The robot mode also has an undocumented feature: the tail-blade extending from the back of his head is on a limited swivel joint and has his eyes molded into the front, which means moving the tail back and forth moves his eyes in a side-to-side sneaky-scanning manner.

: His [[spark crystal]] is hidden inside his torso in both modes, mainly visible only during transformation.

*'''Obsidian''' / '''Quickstrike''' (2-pack, 2000)

:Quickstrike was also available in a two-pack with the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]. Both toys are actually on their original individual cards, but packed within a thick cardboard backing with "Beast Machines 2 Pack" printed on it.

: Among other outlets, these were sold at the now-defunct toy chain ToyCo, which was similar to [[KB Toys]] and appeared in several of the "Mills" family of shopping centers, like Arizona Mills or Ontario Mills, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
