Quickwitch 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.
Completely unpredictable. Changes his mood as often as he changes his Mode. Can be compassionate, merciless, friendly, hateful, happy, or angry, depending on what time of day it is. Equipped with 6 different Modes: robot warrior, assault hovercraft cruiser, jet-propelled laser pistol, assault beast with stealth shielding, armor-piercing drill tank, suborbital fighter jet. Armed with twin photon blasters.
A rarely seen character; Quickswitch's only comic appearance was in a short black and white story in the U.K. Marvel comic entitled "Out to Lunch".
His other appearance was in Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye profile book.
[edit] Transformers: Masterforce (1988)
Quickswitch was recolored into the Cybertron Sixknight for Transformers: Super-God Masterforce but is a completely unrelated character.
Initially Sixknight was a wandering Transformer who belonged to neither the Cyberton or Destron faction. When he asked the Destrons if he could join them, they told him he would have to defeat the Cybertron Ginrai. Sixknight faced Ginrai in combat and lost. However, his defeat by the human forced him to re-evaluate himself and eventually side with the Cybertrons. He aided them once against the Destron Headmaster Juniors, and another time against Buster and Hydra while the Cybertron Headmaster Juniors are trying to activate Godbomber without Super Ginrai. He died while fighting Black Zarak to allow God Ginrai to rescue their new ally Overlord near the end of the series.
