Tackle is the name of a character in the Transforers: Victory toy line and animated series. He is part of the Autobot Multiforce. All the members of Multiforce can combine with any other member of Multiforce to form a larger robot, but Tackle most commonly combines with Mach to form Machtackle. The Multiforce was originally sold in Japan in 1989 packaged in sets of two. It was reissued in 2004 in single blind packages with black chase figures.
Tackle first appeared in episode 1 of Transformers: Victory, Star Saber, Hero of the Universe. He served with Multiforce on Earth under the command of Star Saber. He last appeared in episode 37, Charge! The Fortress against the Victory Combination.
Tackle is a bookworm if there ever was one. He enjoys all the great academic pursuits, science, history, sociology, mathematics and the rest. This vast amount of knowledge he stores in his memory circuits makes him an asset to not only the Multiforce, but the entire Autobot army.
Tackle’s vehicle mode is that of a Jeep, equipping him for nearly any type of terrain. As a member of the Multiforce, Tackle can transform and merge with any of his fellow members. His partner, however, is Mach. With himself as the legs they form the robot Machtackle. Occasionally, but not preferably, he’ll become the head and they’ll become Tacklemach. Tackle’s power represents the Earth.
Mach spends so much time studying and experimenting that he lacks social skills. He can’t give orders very well. Often times he’ll get fed up with his partner’s acts of incompetence and argue with him. This usually leads to trouble on the battlefield.
