It suggests that they can output a lot of energy in a short amount of time to run the transporters?

Indeed. A probe that was a modified PT. Look at it.
All I see is an object that is similar in shape to a PT, which makes sense given how they are deployed from the same launcher. They say several times on screen that it's a probe and not a PT...so it's not a PT.
Would it be possible to rip the antimatter and detonator out of a PT and put it in a probe?

They did exactly that in "Starship Down", equipping their atmospheric probes with QT warheads 8)
