| ~ Quickstrike's catchphrase |
Quickstrike is a dimwitted Predacon under Megatron and an antagonist in Transformers: Beast Wars. He is a Fuzor, meaning a transformer with a beast form resembling a combination of two animals, his beast form resembling a scorpion with a cobra head for its tail.
He was originally a Maximal protoform aboard Optimus Primal's ship, but was awakened as a Predacon by the other Predacons when the ship was forced to abandon its protoform cargo.
He was voiced by Colin Murdock who also voiced Thrust in Transformers Armada and Scorponok in Transformers Energon.
Biography[]
Quickstrike was created when his stasis pod malfunctioned and scanned a scorpion and a cobra, the confused Fuzor crawls out of it.
Talking with the other awakened Furzor, Silverbolt, Quickstrike revealed he had no memories of whom he was or why he was there, but he felt that he was supposed to fight, challenging Silverbolt to fight him. However they were interrupted by Inferno causing the two to team up to fight him instead. Megatron met the two and persuaded the Fuzors believe they were Predacons, despite being initially skeptical, Quickstrike soon was taken in by Megatron's charisma.
Due to his loyalty to Megatron and lack of intelligence, Quickstrike never realized he was actually Maximal or that Megatron's plan to erase Maximals would destroy him as well.
He was manipulated by Tarantulas into betraying Megatron, knocking him into a lava pit. Unlike Terrorsaur and Scorponok, Megatron survived, as he had become a Transmetal 2 at that moment, and took the form of a dragon. Quickstrike was put on trial, but the trial was interrupted when Tigerhawk arrived.
In the final episode, Quickstrike was killed along with Inferno when Megatron fired an energy wave from the Nemesis ship at the protohumans' settlement, the protohumans escaped, leaving Quickstrike to be killed. His remains were later scavenged by the protohumans and used as tools; Quickstrike's hand was used as a flute and his face was turned into a mask.
