:''The Multiforce is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] team from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Multiforce''' (マルチ戦隊 ''Maruchisentai'') is the name for a young group of Autobots serving in the [[Galactic Peace Alliance|Galactic Defense Force]] Sector One unit. Originally working under [[Supreme Commander]] [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] on [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]], the group transferred with him to Earth where they began training under the elite unit known as [[Brainmaster]]s. Despite being the new bots on the block, Multiforce members were often sent out on missions solo, though for some sensitive missions they would be assigned a senior officer to command them. Each member is possessed of the power of an element. Multiforce served as a counterpoint to the Decepticon unit known as [[Dinoforce]].

The '''Multiforce''' consists of:

*[[Wing (Victory)|Wing]] (leader) — the warrior of the ''wind''
*[[Waver]] — the warrior of the ''water''
*[[Dash (Victory)|Dash]] — the warrior of the ''Sun''
*[[Tacker]] — the warrior of the ''fire''
*[[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] — the warrior of the ''Moon''
*[[Tackle]] — the warrior of the ''earth''

These robots can combine in pairs, with each one able to form either the top or bottom of the resultant robot, whose names are formed simply by combining the names of their component parts, top-first. The team can assume thirty potential combinations, but the primary three configurations the Multiforce operate in are:

*[[Wingwaver]] (leader)
*[[Dashtacker]]
*[[Machtackle]]

The six robots can all also combine to form [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]].

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
Dashtacker and Machtackle served about the Sector One space station under [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] and the [[Brainmaster|Car Trio]] while Wingwaver served directly under Star Saber on the Planet V. After the destruction of the Lunar Energy Plant and Space Station it was decided to transfer all survivors and the Sector One troops to Earth for the time being. While Wingwaver was transferring from Planet V to Earth he came under attack by the Dinoforce but was saved by the Brainmasters. At their next engagement, Multiforce was able to employ their own secret weapon, Landcross, to combat the Dinoforce combiner [[Dinoking]]. Time after time the Multiforce has been called upon to detect hidden energy plants, uncover Decepticon plots, and defeat superior Decepticon forces.

After the end of the conflict, they were collectively appointed governor of [[Vega Sector]].

====''Micromaster''====

The Multiforce were testing new stealth technology on Earth (presumably at some point before their appointment to the Vega Sector) when they suddenly found themselves sucked through a rift in time and space. Deposited on Earth in the early 1980s, the team discovered that they had arrived at the foot on [[Mount St. Hilary]] prior to its eruption. The volcano was being protected by a team of [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]]s, and the six Multiforcers cautiously approached their headquarters, [[Metrobase]], in their stealth modes. When the base's sensors finally detected them, they decloaked and introduced themselves to the Micromasters, forming a fast alliance. The group was soon attacked by the Micromasters' Decepticon enemies, but the Multiforce quickly combined into Wingwaver, Dashtacker and Machtackle to fend off [[Decepticon Sixbuilder]], then merged into Landcross to send [[Sixwing]] packing. Landcross wondered if it was destiny that they had been pulled back in time to this point, so that they could help protect the Transformers slumbering within Mount St. Hilary and thereby safeguard their own future. {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
The Multiforce followed the normal flow of time to return to their native period, making sure to not interfere with events they knew had to transpire. To this end, they avoided the other Transformers and explored the [[Skomiloch Territories]], eventually clashing with the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predators]]. Their journey enabled them to be able to stop the [[Praetorian]] from using the corrupted [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] to rewrite all robotic life in the [[Vega Sector]] into loyal [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]], and at some point in their battles they evolved into [[Gaiacross]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/01}}

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.

: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 ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Powerlinx]] [[Autobot]]s), allowing combinations such as Tackerdash, Machwing, or Tacklewaver.
