- Quench is a Mini-Con from the Legends of the Microns portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Every team has its grumbler it seems, and Quench (クェンチ Kwenchi) is the one on the Hazard Team. He's generally dour and moody, quite the contrast to his teammates, but despite this, his dedication to the Mini-Con cause is unquestionable and unshakeable. He throws himself into battle without hesitation... albeit complaining all the way. Team leader Kingbolt considers him a good friend despite all this, and trusts him implicitly.

Quench's Mini-Con storage panel was one of several that were stored within Redline's chest compartment. Before Redline underwent the Master Key process to unlock his full potential, he entrusted the remaining two panels he held to Stella Holley. When the Unicron minion Ravenus attacked and made off with Twirl, Stella activated the two panels, realizing they needed more help, releasing Quench and his teammate Impulsor. The two were quickly joined by their leader Kingbolt, and the Hazard Team was back in action! Linkage Part 11
He and Impulsor chased after the retreating Aqua Raider Team, who were escaping in trans-phase mode, but were called off since Redline had accomplished his task and neutralized the evil Mini-Cons' primary weapon, the Doomstone.
The trio, joined by all of the other Mini-Cons on Earth, reunited with their fellows under the care of the Autobots, returning to their homeworld Cybertron for the final battle against their creator Unicron. After grousing a bit about how he never got a chance to give Stella a hug, Linkage Part 12 Quench and the rest of the team entered the battle against the forces of their creator Unicron high over Cybertron. He Powerlinxed with Overload, using his missile pod mode to attack. Linkage Part 13

Notes
[edit]- Quench's head as depicted in the comic (and yet not the rest of his body) is based on the animation model for Firebot, which is significantly different from the actual Firebot toy's noggin. This is the only instance in "Linkage" where artist Hirofumi Ichikawa used an animation model rather than drawing from (and/or modifying) the toy, even for characters who already had cartoon animation models.
