| There are probably [[Decepticon]]s dumber and lower-ranking than '''Tankor''', but it's likely a low number. Then again, he's basically here to blow things up or crush them under his treads, which doesn't require a powerful processor. Just a powerful body and a lot of big guns. Which he's got, oh yes.

| Tankor attempted to break into a [[NEST]] armoury under the Alamo, but set off every alarm in the place. To get out of this, he took hostages and demanded safe passage... while secretly contacting and waiting for [[Dirge (ROTF)|Dirge]], intending for the jet to arrive, surprise, and homicide any Autobot that arrived. That Autobot turned out to be [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]], who surprised Tankor with a direct assault! The two robots shot it out until Dirge arrived, at which point [[Jolt (ROTF)|the Autobot Jolt]] jumped Tankor and redirected his cannon towards Dirge.

| With his reinforcement driven off by friendly fire, the Decepticon surrendered. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

| Later, he was one of [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon's]] fellow prisoners that escaped and formed a splinter cell. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} He took part in Bludgeon's ambush of NEST forces in [[Russia]], getting shot through the chest for his troubles. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} When Megatron turned up and Bludgeon commanded his forces to fight back against him, Tankor wimped out. But he ''did'' apologise for it! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

| At some point, Tankor was captured by the [[Initiative]] and put under their control. When the Autobots and [[NEST]] assaulted the Initiative's mobile headquarters, he and many other brainwashed Transformers were sent out to defend it. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} The Initiative was defeated, therefore freeing Tankor from their control. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

| Tankor joined up with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s crew, and was sent to [[Philadelphia]] as part of a massive strike force intent on retrieving the rogue [[scrap drone]] called [[Brains]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} They found Brains under the protection of several Autobots, and a battle broke out. Tankor was seen blowing stuff up in tank mode and being pestered by some little guy named [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Once it turned out that their mission was really just a diversion arranged by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] to draw attention away from himself, the Decepticons tried to escape, but the Autobots boxed them in. Tankor survived the battle, and disappeared in the chaos once Shockwave's giant tentacle beast appeared and wreaked havoc on the battlefield. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

| |
| | |
| :Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Legends Class]] toys, Tankor is a [[redeco]] of [[Brawl (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Brawl]] from the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 movie toyline]], transforming into a ''heavily'' modified [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#M1 Abrams|M1A1 Abrams]] tank. As a Legends toy, he features very limited articulation.

| | |
| ==Notes==
| |
| * Given his name and ''especially'' his color scheme, Tankor is a pretty big homage to his ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Tankor (BM)|predecessor]]. His face is even painted to give him a single red optic band like his namesake.
| |
| * By accident, Tankor spends his initial appearance in Titan Magazine's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics ''green'', presumably due to a mix-up with Springer. He becomes his toy's colours later on.
