TANKOR

Tankdrone General


When the Vehicons conquered Cybertron, they were all controlled by Megatron's single mind. However, when Optimus Primal began to lead the rebellion against him, Megatron soon realised that he needed some independent thinkers within his ranks. Therefore, he created three generals to lead his army. 

Megatron corrupted the Spark of the Maximal Rhinox and used it to create Tankor in order to lead the Vehicon tank drones. Despite having his Maximal self being reawakened, Tankor continued to be a Vehicon. Tankor had come to share Megatron's view that Cybertron should be a fully mechanical world. However, he also believed that Megatron was being hypocritical, since he himself is partially tainted with organic matter. Hence, he declared that Cybertron should be led by a totally mechanical being such as himself. With his old intelligence restored, Tankor went about with his new mission, although still playing the docile drone in front of other Vehicons. Tankor reprogrammed Megatron's Diagnostic Drone and used it to infiltrate Vector Sigma and retrieve the Key to Vector Sigma.

However, his plan to overthrow Megatron ultimately failed and he was slain. When Rhinox's Spark joined the Matrix, he soon realised how wrong he was when he was Tankor. 

Abilities: Tankor's heavy armour makes him practically invulnerable to most artillery. He is also armed with machine guns, missiles and a big laser cannon, which is his primary weapon. In robot mode, his arms are equipped with two powerful buzzsaws. He can also scale most steep surfaces in this mode.

Weaknesses: Tankor is the slowest of the Vehicon generals. He was not very intelligent, but this all changed when the Maximals revived Rhinox's consciousness. Despite his intelligence, his delusioned descent into darkness led to his grim demise.
