Quickswitch
- Quickswitch is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"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.
- French-Canadian name: Interclic
Fiction
Toy commercial
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.
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.

- Quickswitch (Six-changer, 1988)
- Quickswitch is the second "sixchanger" in the series. Besides his basic form as a humanoid robot, he turns into a Cybertronic jet, drill tank, laser pistol, hovercraft and a flying puma. His armament of choice is a pair of (non-firing) photon blasters, which he uses in many of his modes. All of these modes are kinda blocky.
- The same mold was used in Japan to make Sixknight.
