When Riptide was injured in battle, QuickFire transported the two of them to Earth, a world he knew many Mini-Cons had fled to. Encountering the thought-transmissions of a distressed human telepath, QuickFire noticed his painstakingly cared-for 1957 Ford Pickup Nelly Belle, and fell instantly in love. Reconfiguring Riptide into a Mack Truck based on the human's memories, QuickFire approached Jake Williams, offering to travel across the country hauling cargo with him.

QuickFire constructed a special place for Jake's pickup, whom he re-christened with the Galactic name Starheart, cherishing her at every opportunity with a… a…
Look, he had sex with the truck, alright?

QuickFire's repairs to Riptide proceeded slowly, at one point requiring him to shut down and do nothing else for a week in near-hibernation.

He found a kindred spirit in Jake, and the long hours driving cross-country afforded QuickFire the time for self-examination to realize he had become a pacifist; no longer willing to take another life for any cause.

Forced by circumstances to intervene in a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons that threatened America's west coast, Riptide finally awoke, battling Megatron. QuickFire was saved from capture by an unlikely source— Jake.

With disaster averted, QuickFire and Riptide returned to their journeys with Jake. Lonesome Diesel

  • Unlike virtually every other Transformer medic, QuickFire has no trouble treating human patients. This appears to be because he uses a form of electromagnetic therapy, not direct surgery.
