- Quantum jump is a technology from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A quantum jump is a technology utilized to allow ships to travel long distances, presumably in a shorter period of time than conventional travel.
When a quantum jump is triggered prematurely, bad things happen.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
The Autobot ship Trion and Decepticon ship Torment were equipped with quantum jump drives. The former was shot down when it pursued a quantum jumping Torment straight into an ambush. All Hail Megatron #5
The first rule about interstellar travel is to never stand next to a quantum generator when it's about to flout the laws of physics. Ore broke this rule by standing too close to the Lost Light's engines when the ship initiated a quantum jump, and was fused to the generator as a result. Hangers On This caused one of the rear thrusters to explode and the Lost Light to quantum jump blindly halfway across the galaxy. How to Say Goodbye and Mean It
