Tacker is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
You know, your head actually looks a lot like Roadhandler and Cheetor.

What is your major system error, scraplets?! I am Autobot officer Tacker (タッカー Takkā), known as the Multiforce's "Warrior of the fire", but it's SIR YES SIR to you! From this moment on, you are all my servodroids! I am here to train you to be Autobot warriors! I don't think I have ever laid optics on such a sorry collection of scrap metal before!

We are here to protect these people from the tyranny of the Decepticon Emperors! We are all part of this corps together, we are stronger together than separately! I myself have spent over 40,000 vorns serving in this corps and have been proud to do so! It would chrome my bumpers to be fighting Decepticon filth as part of Dashtacker or even my team's combined Landcross form... but instead I have to train you namby-pamby petro-rabbits! Now sound off like you've got a pair of ball joints!

Hwun, two, three, four, I love the Autobot defense corps!

Micromaster

While testing out stealth technology, Tacker and the rest of the Multiforce stumbled through a dimensional rift that brought them to years into the past. There, Micromasters battled over Mount St. Hillary, where Optimus Prime, Megatron, and their troops slumbered within the Ark. Before Wing could introduce him to the local Autobots, the Multiforce had to head out to meet a Decepticon threat. He combined with Dash to form Dashtacker and helped taking on the Decepticon Sixbuilders. Tacker then combined with the rest of the Multiforce into Landcross to send Berserker Sixwing packing. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!

Ask Vector Prime

The Multiforce followed the normal flow of time to return to their native period, making sure to not interfere with events they knew had to transpire. To this end, they avoided the other Transformers and explored the Skomiloch Territories and clashed with the Predators. Their journey enabled them to be able to stop the Praetorian from using the corrupted Reconfiguration Matrix to rewrite all robotic life in the Vega Sector into loyal Scrapmetal. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/01

Victory manga

The Multiforce was summoned to Earth by Star Saber and battled Dinoking as Landcross. After defeating Dinoking, Landcross separated in order to swarm Deathsaurus with superior numbers. Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!

After having lost a battle to Deathsaurus as Landcross, and being subsequently rescued by Star Saber, Tacker helped rescue the animals hurt by the forest fire caused by the Decepticon Emperor. Great Turn-Around! Star Saber

Tacker also fought against the Decepticons inside their space base as it was raining down meteors onto the Earth. The war ended peacefully with a truce between both factions. Heroic! The Victory War

Toys

Victory

  • Dashtacer [sic] (Multiforce, 1989)
    • ID number: C-317
    • Accessories: Multi-Tacker Gun, Landcross footplate
Tacker transforms into a green covered halftrack vehicle. In vehicle mode, he can mount Landcross's footplate on his roof as a double-cannon.
He can also transform into either the upper or lower half of a two-robot combiner, though his nominal combination is with his pack-in partner Dash, forming the lower half of Dashtacker. He can also also form the upper torso to Landcross. He can also also form any limb to Landcross, with his default placement as the right leg.


  • Landcross (Gift set, 1989)
    • ID number: C-319
    • Accessories: Multi-Tacker Gun, Landcross footplate
Tacker was also available as part of the complete Multiforce/Landcross gift set. The toys are identical to their individual releases, though the packaging lacked the bios and Tech Specs for the "individual" members.


Micromaster

  • Tacker (DX Micromaster, 2004)
    • Multiforce number: 4
    • Accessories: Multi-Tacker Gun, Landcross footplate
Released in the final wave of Micromaster as a "DX Micromaster", this reissue of Tacker was sold in a single-bot box. The box has a small hole in the front to show a number printed on the instructions, revealing which toy is inside.
Though this release (mostly) retains his plastic colors (the black joints are now dark gunmetal), his extra deco has changed. His treads have changed from silver to black, and both his robot faces lose the blue paint, only retaining it on his optics. An Autobot symbol tampograph was added to the left-rear of his canopy.


  • Tacker (DX Micromaster, 2004)
    • Multiforce number: 4
    • Accessories: Multi-Tacker Gun, Landcross footplate
A special "chase" version of Tacker was available, in mostly black plastic and minimal paint operations. All six members were available in "stealth mode", but only two out of every twelve toys in a case were black versions, and which two the case had was randomized. And no, you can't peek in through the hole in the box to see if it's a chase or not, as the instructions block it off.

Notes

  • The packaging for Dashtacker gives his name in English as Dashtacer, implying that Tacker himself is named Tacer. This is essentially incompatible with the pronunciation of his name given in katakana, so it must be a typo.
