Quickswitch
- Quickswitch is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity.
Chaotic is the best word to describe Quickswitch. Unpredictable works also. His rapid changing of forms is echoed by his moods changing just as wildly. Whether you find him happy or sad, angry or upset depends mostly on the moment you happen to run into him. If you run into Quickswitch in a bad mood, the best advice is simply to wait a moment. He may be the son of Sixshot.
Quickswitch is an Autobot sixchanger. Besides his basic form as a humanoid robot he turns into a jet, drill tank, laser pistol, hovercraft and a flying puma. His armament of choice is a pair of photon blasters, which he uses in many of his modes.
(Quickswitch's toy commercial referred to him as Sixshot's "son", however you want to gloss that, nothing has appeared elsewhere to support or contradict this.)
Fiction
Marvel UK continuity
Quickswitch was supposed to meet an informant at Maccadam's Old Oil House, but ran afoul of a Mecannibal who had come looking for revenge on Dreadwind and Darkwing. It took some showy transforming into each of his modes to stop the beast - the two drunken ingrates, however, never even noticed.
