Tankor is a Vehicon in the Beast Machines portion of Generation 1 continuity.


Tankor SMAAAAAASHHH! Tankor PULLLVERIZZZZEEE! Tankor SLAG BEAST BOTS! Tankor is the brute force part of Megatron's first trio of Vehicon generals. He commands the powerful tank drones. He's slow, simple minded and immensely powerful. Lovably dim, his limited intelligenece can sometimes be a draw-back, letting him be easily confused, misled, or even temporarily turned against Megatron. However this is countered fairly well by his usual state of blind frustration and destuctive rage, wich make getting him to listen to any cajoling a less than simple task.

Tankor is a programmed shell personality given life by the spark of the Maximal Rhinox.

Toys

  • Tankor
Tankor's toy self is a mega-sized tank. As with a number of BM characters it bears a less than close likeness to his cartoon depiction as Mainframe worked from early, incomplete images to design the show model. This toy's design was used for the non-show, non-toy, Universe comic caracter Beast Machines Quake
  • Tank Drone
The basic Tank drone figure was designed after the BM cartoon and thus resembles Tankor's show design. It was released in Japan as Beast Wars Returns Tankor.
