Quantum is a Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Quantum (クォンタム Kwontamu) is one of the many power-enhancing Mini-Cons who help the Autobots search the galaxy for raw Energon deposits. Teamed with Snowblind and Lens in the Blizzard Intervention Mini-Con Team, the trio can form the powerful Cryo Saber weapon.

Trapped in the past, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

    • Booster ID number: 5
Quantum is a redeco of the Energon Saber Mini-Con Scattor, transforming into a Cybertronic jet, as well as forming the middle of the Blizzard Saber sword. He was sold as part of the second Micron Booster assortment in Japan, in individual, blind-packed boxes so you did not know which Mini-Con you got until you opened the box and opaque black plastic bag inside.
The same mold is also used by Thrust. The original version of the mold is used by Armada Jetstorm and Skull Buster.

Notes

  • Like most of the Micron Boosters, Quantum's name is a word related to the Japanese name of the original toy, in this case, Scattor's Japanese name "Pulse".
  • Circa 2007, the Transformers Collectors' Club commissioned profile art for Quantum, to be given the localized name Jetstream, but it was never officially published due to the Mini-Con online bio program going defunct. Artist MCRG would later post it to DeviantArt[1]
