:''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]].

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' anime===

===''Victory'' manga===

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

==Toys==
===Victory===
* '''Wingwaver''' (1989)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-316'''
: This set came with Wing and Waver.

* '''Dashtacker''' (1989)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-317'''
: This set came with Dash and Taker.

* '''Machtackle''' (1989)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-318'''
: This set came with Mach and Tackle.

* '''Landcross''' (1989)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-319'''
: A giftset of Wingwaver, Dashtacker, and Machtackle. 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.

:Although they were typically depicted in the fiction as Wingwaver, Dashtacker, and Machtackle, any two Multiforce members could be combined with either robot on top (similar to ''[[Energon]]'' [[Powerlinx]] [[Autobot]]s), allowing combinations such as Tackerdash, Machwing, or Tacklewaver. (...What? What's so funny?)

===Micromaster Collection===
* '''Multiforce''' (Micromaster, 2004)
: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==

*Although the word "Multiforce" is spelled out in English on the team's toy packaging, the group breaks Japanese Transformers convention by not actually being referred to by this English name in the animated series, where they are identified as the ''multi sentai,'' the Japanese translation of the term.
*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.
