	The '''quantum generator''' is a type of engine used in space-faring vessels. Cybertronian starships equipped with quantum generators are capable of performing '''quantum jumps''', a mode of transportation that allow them to travel long distances in a shorter period of time than conventional travel. Though extremely fast, indeed faster than anything other advanced races like the [[Stentarian]]s have got, the jumps are not instantaneous: that's something only [[Space bridge\|spacebridge]]s are capable of.		The '''quantum generator''' is a type of engine used in space-faring vessels. Cybertronian starships equipped with quantum generators are capable of performing '''quantum jumps''', a mode of transportation that allow them to travel long distances in a shorter period of time than conventional travel. Though extremely fast, indeed faster than anything other advanced races like the [[Stentarian]]s have got, the jumps are not instantaneous: that's something only [[Space bridge\|spacebridge]]s are capable of.

	Quantum engines were in development in [[Unitrex]] five million years ago. The ''[[Lost Light\|Unitrex-1]]'' (the future ''Lost Light'') was fitted with one such experimental generator, but before its crew could launch their ship, it was infiltrated by [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Rodimus]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Cyclonus]], two [[time travel]]ers from the future. Needing to recharge their [[Time case\|time machine]], Rodimus used [[Perceptor (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Perceptor]]'s scientific knowledge from the future to upgrade the ''Unitrex-1''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s generator to complete the task, in the process retroactively creating the first quantum generator. {{storylink\|Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide\|Predestination: An Expert's Guide}}		Quantum engines were in development in [[Unitrex]] five million years ago.

	In an attempt to force the quantum generators to trigger, Rodimus instructed [[Swerve (G1)\|Swerve]] to tell the somehow-conscious Ore what had happened, so the ship could escape the incineration shield it had been trapped in.
