Mach (G1)

Mach is an Autobot from the Victory portion of Generation 1 continuity family.

"My name is Mach and thanks a lot."

Mach (マッハ Mahha) 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.
