	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!}}		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.

	The '''Multiforce''' (マルチ戦隊 ''Maruchisentai'') are a group of young Autobots serving in the [[~~Galactic~~ Peace Alliance\|~~Galactic~~ Defense Force]] Sector One unit.
