'''Tackle''' (タックル, ''ta-kku-ru'') combines with his erstwhile partner [[Mach]] to form the robot [[Machtackle]] and separately serves as the left leg of [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. Tackle is brains, capable of discussing geology or physics with equal ease, though most often he ends up having to explain both to Mach. A speed demon who prefers fighting in his vehicle mode, Tackle more often than not serves as the legs to Machtackle. When not being ordered off the front lines that is.

==Fiction==

:''Voice actor:'' [[Shinobu Satouchi]] (Japanese)

Tackle defeated the [[Breastforce]] member [[Killbison]] without having to fire a single shot by making him so dizzy the [[Decepticon]] simply collapsed. Considering the usual combat effectiveness of the Breastforce members, this is an accomplishment on par with Davidbot versus Goliathtron. Later he trounced [[Jarugar]], teaching him how to impersonate an ostrich. Pretty impressive work for a pair of pants. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

'''Machtackle''' is a dynamic duo of a machine composed of the [[Multiforce]] members [[Mach]] and [[Tackle]]. As a combatant he is skilled enough to defeat the [[Dinoforce]], though typically he is ordered into reserve when [[Breastforce]] becomes involved.

Ordinarily Mach forms the top half of this combiner, but when Tackle forms the top half, their combined form is called '''Tacklemach'''.

==Fiction==
===Victory cartoon===
:''Voice actor: [[Yūki Satō]] (Japan)''

Machtackle helped wipe the floor with the Dinoforce during an assault on a power plant, though it became necessary to become [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] to defeat the powerful [[Dinoking]]. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} Machtackle investigated the sudden appearance of a large sinkhole on [[Old Tom]]'s farm in [[Canada]]. Machtackle split up into [[Mach]] and [[Tackle]] to investigate. There they discovered a Decepticon base. They were forced to deal with the [[Breastforce]] on their own until reinforcements arrived. During the fight, Tackle suggested they combine with him forming the top half, forming Tacklemach. After the fight Tackle said he would rather form the legs from now on since his battle tactics weren't as good as Mach's. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

'''Mach''' doesn't like fighting. Mach likes peaceful strolls. And fuzzy things. He is certainly no dummy, but usually he does need to ask at least twice for an explanation from [[Tackle]] before he gets a concept. He doesn't quite understand why humans are surprised by a fifteen-foot-tall robot. He turns into a space shuttle, so he should be able to get peace and quiet in space. Oddly enough, it doesn't work out like that. However, when a fight starts, he has no problems in waging it—unless ordered otherwise. He's a good soldier that way. Mach combines with Tackle to form the imaginatively named [[Machtackle]]. Together they make a much more dynamic fighter. As part of the [[Multiforce]], Mach also serves as the left arm of the powerful [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]].

==Fiction==
===Victory cartoon===
:''Voice actor: [[Yūki Satō]] (Japan)''

Mach and Tackle encountered a crazy old man who named Mach "Robot number 1". Mach discovered a prairie dog who he claimed as a new friend. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle|Mach and Tackle}}

Rodimus723: /* Trivia */

"Huffer" and "Brawn" are not fighting with the Decepticons. If you play the entire sequence, they are firing on the rockets that the Decepticons have attached to the asteroid, trying to destroy them (indeed, firing in the direction of Galvatron). Rather, there are two problems:
:a) they are apparently still alive, when they're both supposed to be dead (Brawn on-screen, Huffer off-screen but confirmed in Dark Awakening)
:b) Bonecrusher appears to be working with the Autobots to shut down the rockets; he too is firing on Galvatron. [[User:59.167.72.106|59.167.72.106]] 10:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Hasbro Q&A/May 2010: Question submission

2010-04-27T04:38:58Z

Rodimus723: /* May 2010 questions */

{{SITENAME}} participates in [[Hasbro]]'s ongoing [[Hasbro Q&A|Question & Answer]] sessions. Our site will be allowed to submit '''two''' questions to Hasbro's Transformers team for answering. If you're a registered user at our site, please add your question below!

Some ground rules:
# Don't ask about hypothetical future product or if certain characters are going to come out in toyline X.
# Don't ask about financial numbers or corporate matters.
# Don't ask Hasbro why they suck so much to vindicate your personal grudge.
# Don't ask Hasbro to badmouth one of their licensees to vindicate your personal grudge.

But questions about current or past product are pretty great! Those kinds of answers will result in the best and most informative responses.

Each registered user can ask '''one''' question at this time. Please bullet and sign your question. The deadline for your questions is the evening of '''Sunday, May 2th''', and answers will be sent back on (approximately) '''May 24th'''. If you're a registered member and for some reason you can't edit this page, ask your question on the [[Talk:Hasbro Q&A/May 2010: Question submission|discussion page]], then I or [[User:Monzo|Monzo]] will move it here.

Thanks!

==May 2010 questions==

* When deciding on redecos which comes first the mold or the character? That is, do you say "We should reuse mold X, what character should we make it?" or do you say "We should make character Y, what mold should we use?" [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 11:49, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* According to the [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen novelization]], Optimus Prime was to reveal to Sam Witwicky that the knowledge of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] in his mind was transferred into the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which Optimus recovered after the death of the Fallen. However, in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|film]] itself, this is not addressed. What happened to the AllSpark knowledge in Sam's mind? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 12:16, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Why was [[Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s left arm molded in purple plastic (the "correct" color for his robot mode) and then painted grey like his tank mode? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 15:26, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Is there a reason why deluxe class Elita-1 is a redeco of Chromia? Did she originally have her own mold in the deluxe size class like her "sisters"?--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 16:41, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Now that [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] has been renamed "Snarl" for the ''Robot Heroes'' and ''Transformers Animated'' lines, what will [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] be called? --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 16:52, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Hasbro's talked alot recently about their commitment to revisiting "legacy" characters from past lines. I'm just wondering if you guys on the Transformers team there have any personal favorite characters you'd like to get around to revisiting someday? --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 17:37, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* What factors are considered to greenlight a mold that most likely won't get reused, like [[Astrotrain (G1)#Classics|Classics (2006) Astrotrain]], for an example? - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 22:51, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Is the character Logos Prime (a.k.a. Soundblaster) one of the 13 original Transformers? [[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] 23:20, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
* Drift, Mindset/Hailstorm, Straxus/Darkmount... many characters originating from comic books are going to be getting the toy treatment in Generations and the regular line. Can we expect more fiction-only characters to receive their first toys in the near future? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 00:37, 27 April 2010 (EDT)
* Is there any possibility of the Motormaster name getting used? [[User:Rodimus723|Rodimus723]] 00:38, 27 April 2010 (EDT)
