Mach Kick transforms into a gray-blue organic horse with a rooted nylon-hair tail (awwwww). Pressing back on the horse's mane causes the head to spring forward via jackspring mechanism as a ramming attack. This gimmick is usable in all three modes. His soft, brushable tail is attached to a hatchet for use in robot mode. His robot mode also features rooted hair in a ponytail (see what they did there?) on his head. Mach Kick has a third "Protect Mode", and moreso than all the other Neo new-mold-toy third modes, it is an horrendous pile of limbs and ball-joints that holds no meaning, only madness.

Mach Kick is widely considered one of the most infuriating Transformers toys to actually transform, thanks to being a shellformer with approximately 467 ball-and-socket joints that need to be positioned juuuuust right or else nothing will properly connect. On the other hand, it can also rear up on its hind legs in a dramatic pose in beast mode and stand unassisted doing so.
