Animated series
Although the U.S. animated series was canceled before Quickswitch was released, he did appear in animated form in Transformers commercials.
According to the commercial for Quickswitch, he is the son of Sixshot a Decepticon. Not caring for his father's decision to join the Decepticons, he reluctantly joined with the Autobots. He is the first Transformer ever to be referred to as the offspring of another character in the toyline.
Marvel Comics
Quickswitch's sole comic appearance came in issue #240 of the U.K. Marvel Transformers comic. Here, he was due to meet an informant at Maccadam's Old Oil House, a Cybertronian allegiance free bar. However, he was interrupted by several Meccanibals, who had hunted down Dreadwind and Darkwing after an incident where they had tried to feed them the Autobot Pretenders. Quickswitch used his multiple alternate modes to summarily dispatch the hungry mechanoids. The two Decepticons were so deep in depression and drink over their situation that they didn't even notice.
Ladybird Books
Quickmix, Quickswitch and Scoop appeared in the Ladybird Books story "Decepticons Underground", where they were sent on a mission by Optimus Prime to find the Decepticons in the Nebulos Triangle.
Dreamwave Productions
Quickswitch never appeared in any of Dreamwave's Generation One comics before the company closed, but he did get a two page biography in their "More Than Meets The Eye" series.
