Tankor HATE puny Banner!!

There are probably Autobots 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.

Fiction

Titan Magazines Revenge of the Fallen comics

Tankor has the power to change his colour from green to silver at will!

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, intending for the jet to arrive, surprise, and homicide any Autobot that arrived. That Autobot turned out to be Springer, who surprised Tankor with a direct assault! The two robots shot it out until Dirge arrived, at which point the Autobot Jolt jumped Tankor and redirected his cannon towards Dirge.

With his reinforcement driven off by friendly fire, the Decepticon surrendered. Rules of Engagement

Later, he was one of Bludgeon's fellow prisoners that escaped and formed a splinter cell. Inside Out!

Notes

• Given his name and especially his color scheme, Tankor is a pretty big homage to his Beast Machines 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.
