Explanation of the conversion: Since Tankor has two missile launchers, I gave him more charges with his missiles
than the other members of the Air Defense team. Because his arms are the launchers for his missiles, I gave them the
Gestures limitation.
History: Many Mini-Cons have migrated to Earth has and live in hiding, but the ongoing battles between the Autobots
and Decepticons have drawn then in. The excilating comflict to Earth has forced the Mini-Cons once to take sides in a
larger conflict.
Thunderblast II, Tankor IV and Steamhammer II of the Air Defense Team hid among the armed forces of
Earth so that they could protect the humans from Razorclaw V, Sky Lynx II and Shockwave II, the Sky Attack Team. The
desire to protect human life is nearly an obsession for Tankor IV; he exists solely to prevent the damage inflicted by
Shockwave II and his aerial companions.
Trivia: Tankor IV shouldn't be confused with the orignal Tankor, a Vehicon who turns into a tank, Tankor II, a
Decepticon who turns into a tank, or Tankor III, an Autobot Micromaster who turns into a locomotive. The toy of Tankor IV
is similar to that of Wreckage and Shot.
Powers: Subject is brave and thanks to his two arm-mounted missile launchers, possesses impressive firepower for a
Mini-Con. In fact he is the bravest member of the Air Defense team, and packs more firepower than any of the others.
He can take the form of a mini-tank. In vehicle mode, he can reach speeds of up over 70 mph. He has above
average physical strength and skill with his missiles. A special targeting scope gives him telescopic vision and accuracy at high range.
Weaknesses: Tankor IV is slower than the average Mini-Con, and is the slowest member of the Air Defense team. He
cannot fly. He is also low ranking among the Autobots, but this never bothers him.
