Here is everything known to have happened between classic and X series.

While there is nothing official (for the games, as in the RW2 manga Rockman destroys Quint and, as he may not be in the future to protect it, kills Wily to ensure he would not be in the future too to cause harm), I have some theories:
 * 1) After defeat, Quint retreated but continued working for Wily until the end of his days... (Or ceased existing due to changes in the timeline.)
 * 2) At one point, Quint's memories are restored, but as (add complex time related reason here) he can't return to his original time, he decides to join his present self in the battles against Wily, becoming Rock's twin brother (continuing being Quint or being renamed, maybe Baroque/Namagem?).
 * 3) At one point, Quint's memories are restored and he returns to his own timeline, where...
 * 4) He returned being Rock and lived happily ever after.
 * 5) Old Wily took over the world during his absence, forcing Light to hide in a secret lab, where he started creating X. He (still as Quint or back as Mega Man) never discovered where Light was hidden, and had to defeat Wily on his own... He fought many robots, including some "New Robots".
