Quantum surge
- The quantum surge was an energy wave from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The quantum surge was one of the results of the destruction of the Vok Planet Buster in a transwarp explosion. Part shockwave and part energy/radiation wave, the quantum surge swept across Earth and caused strange changes in some of the Transformers stranded there.

The quantum surge irradiated both the Axalon and Darksyde. The strange energies unleashed altered Megatron, Tarantulas, Cheetor, and Rattrap, giving them new Transmetal forms. Aftermath The surge also affected the protoforms still in stasis pods, resulting in future awakened Transformers having partial or whole Transmetal bodies.
