- Tackle is an Autobot from the Victory portion of Generation 1 continuity family.
Tackle (タックル Takkuru) combines with his erstwhile partner Mach to form the robot Machtackle and separately serves as the left leg of 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.
