Mach Kick is a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
My Little Maximal

Mach Kick (マッハキック Mahha Kikku) is the former sub-commander of the Thoroughbred Corps. After their destruction at the hands of the Predacons, he was left the only survivor. Once he recovered, he voluntarily joined up with Big Convoy to aid in his quest to obtain the Angolmois capsules.

Mach Kick has a very free spirit and a rowdy attitude, cavorting about and partying like he was in a college fraternity rather than a grisly war. This behavior continually causes him to butt heads with his "old buddy", Longrack, who is a notorious stick-in-the-mud. Mach Kick has something of an "idol worshiping" complex in regards to Big Convoy, whom he respects for being so powerful and "cool". He strives to do his best to impress his commander, even at tasks as menial as KP. His attempts to "do a good job" typically result in him encroaching upon the personal space of his peers, who just can't stand him.

IDW Beast Wars comics

Mach Kick is the remaining survivor of the Thoroughbred Corps that were wiped out in the Great War. He joined Big Convoy's crew and helped in the defeat of Magmatron. Thanks to his service, he was selected to become part of Lio Convoy's elite special operations unit, the Pack. Beast Wars Sourcebook 2

Mach Kick travelled with the Pack to prehistoric Earth to rescue Razorbeast. He was put in charge of tracking Razorbeast's near non-existent signal back to its source so it's understandable it takes him a bit to get it right. When the group charges into battle with the Predacons there he smashes Scourge with a buck to the chest and Terragator tries to ride him bareback. The Ascending #2

After dealing with the Predacons that were an immediate threat to their person, the Pack were surprised to see an Angolmois-infected Razorbeast going on a rampage. Mach Kick gave Apache a ride to the site where their former comrade was wrecking 'bots of both factions indiscriminately, but did not himself participate in subduing Razorbeast. The Ascending #3

Later on, Mach Kick was one of the many Maximals that hitched a ride back to Cybertron in order to combat the greater threat that resided there: Shockaract. Near the climax of the battle, He wielding Break in his weapon configuration in order to blast Shockaract. He presumably made it out of the battle alive once the heralds of Unicron were defeated. The Ascending #4

Toys

Beast Wars Neo

My God. What have you done. Look what your careless hands have wrought. Each moment this unnatural beast lives is like a thousand years of misery. Look in its brown eyes. It longs for death. Select the pistol, and then, select your horse.
  • Mach Kick (Deluxe, 1999)
    • Japanese ID number: C-36
    • Accessories: Tail-hatchet
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 a 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.


Black Beauty: The Land Before Time
  • Showdown of the Favorites: Mach Kick VS Archadis (Deluxe VS pack, 1999)
    • Japanese ID number: VS-36
    • Accessories: Tail-hatchet
