Multiforce


 * The Multiforce is an Autobot combiner team in the Victory and Micromaster Collection portions of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Multiforce consists of:
 * Wing (leader)
 * Waver
 * Dash
 * Tacker
 * Mach
 * Tackle

These robots can combine in pairs, and as a result the Multiforce also consists of:
 * Wingwaver (leader)
 * Dashtacker
 * Machtackle

The six robots can all also combine to form Landcross.

Micromaster Collection
The Multiforce fell through a dimensional rift while testing their new stealth modes. They met some Autobot Micromasters. They combined into Wingwaver, Dashtacker, and Machtackle. They fought some Decepticon Micromasters. They kicked their butts. They combined into Landcross. They fought Berserker Sixwing. They kicked his butt too.

Victory

 * Landcross (1989)
 * The original version of the Multiforce was available only as a complete gift set in Japan. In addition to transforming separately into robot and vehicle modes and combining into Landcross, the six toys could also be combined in two-robot pairs, with one robot forming the head, upper torso, and arms and the other forming the lower torso and legs.  The six robots' guns could be combined into a single large weapon.

Micromaster Collection

 * Multiforce (Micromaster, 2002)
 * In 2004, the entire Multiforce was re-released as part of the Micromaster Collection (despite having never previously been considered Micromasters), in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, all of the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications. Landcross could only be assembled by buying all six components individually; he was never offered as a complete set.


 * In every case of twelve Multiforce "Micromasters," two of them were solid-black-plastic "stealth mode" variations. All six toys were available in this manner, and could be combined into a black "stealth mode" Landcross.

Trivia

 * While the relationship between the Micromaster Collection versions of Sixliner, Sixturbo, Sixwing, Sixbuilder, and Sixtrain and their counterparts in Operation Combination (or Battlestars in the case of Sixliner) is unclear, the Micromaster Collection Multiforce are explicitly the same as the Victory Multiforce.
 * The Multiforce have the interesting distinction of being the only instance in Transformers of a combiner team made up of several smaller combiner teams.
