Legends comic

[edit]

Tankette was created in conjunction with Hardhead's new transtector, built as part of a partnership between the Autobot Headmasters and the Axalon Trading Company. She first introduced herself to Chromedome who, having complained about not getting his transtector yet, was told to ride her into battle instead. Crewed by Chromedome and Rattrap, she contributed with her weapon mode when Hardhead tried to fight off an incoming meteor, though her blasts were ineffective. After Hardhead injured himself destroying the meteor with a headbutt, Tankette looked after him.

  • Hardhead (Deluxe, 2016)
  • Release date: July 23, 2016
  • ID number: LG21
Included with Legends Hardhead, Tankette is a redeco of the vehicle that originally came with Titans Return Terri-Bull in Hardhead's colors. She transforms from a tank to a plane which Hardhead's Headmaster unit (or any other Titan Master/Headmaster figures) can ride on/combine with, and has a 5 mm post that folds out to become a weapon for larger figures.
Unlike most of the Titan Master vehicle accessories, Tankette's gun mode handle does not seem to easily pop off when wielded by many 5mm-compatible closed hands.
This mold was also used to make Titans Return Skytread's vehicle.
