Tank is a fictional character from the GoBots series.

GoBots

Tank is one of Cy-Kill's minions. His great physical strength and firepower mean he is often used to support the Renegades' operations.

Fictional biography

Cy-Kill's right hand man, Tank, is a lumbering dumb oaf with a body that's not only built like a tank-but actually becomes one when necessary.

Abilities

Like most GoBots, Tank has numerous abilities because of his robotic body. He does not age, can survive in space and is super-humanly strong and tough. He can fly in robot mode and project energy blasts from his hands. His body heals quickly when supplied with energy. Tank is larger than most GoBots, and has considerable firepower. In tank mode, he can drive through walls or over cars without it even slowing him. His physical attributes are outweighed by his low intelligence.

Animated series

Tank first appeared in the Challenge of the GoBots series pilot.

He was placed in command of the mind-controlled US Army during Cy-Kill's first attempt to invade Earth, but was unable to successfully hunt down Turbo and Scooter in New York. Soon afterwards, he returned to GoBotron and was captured along with the other Renegades based in their fortress.

Tank appeared in "Flight to Earth" episode 44.

Tank appeared in "Return of GoBotron" episode 45.

In "Destroy All Guardians" episode 47 Geeper-Creeper and Tank were seen among Cy-Kill's guards on the Roguestar.
