__TOC__

==Description==
'''Tank''', previously known as the '''Tank 1''', is a large and tanky boss that appears in [[Legacy Fallen Mode|Legacy Fallen]] mode and [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode. The '''Tank''' is a fast, high health [[Enemies|enemy]], with speeds similar to the [[Quick]] and much higher health than the [[Giant Boss]]. It can be a major threat to unprepared defenses.

==Appearance==

|Version 3
|The third version of '''Tank''' had a khaki-grey skin color and a grey cobblestone torso and legs. It had chains wrapped around its torso, left arm and right leg.

==Strategy==
*Fast firing towers, such as the [[Minigunner]], [[Accelerator]] or [[Turret]], are recommended to kill '''Tanks'''.
**The [[Commander]] can boost their firerate with its ''Call to Arms'' ability.
*Because of the '''Tank's''' fast speed, long range towers, such as the [[Ranger]], are recommended, as the '''Tank''' will take more time to get out of their range.
**The [[DJ Booth]] can also help increase range of towers that have shorter range, such as the [[Accelerator]] or the [[Minigunner]].
**It is recommended to use the [[Commander]]'s ''Call to Arms'' ability to boost the [[Ranger]]'s firerate.
*You can use slowing towers, like the [[Electroshocker]], [[Warden]], [[Brawler]] or [[Sledger]] to slow down the '''Tank'''.
**Slowing it down is generally favored, due to the '''Tank's''' obscene speed.
**Be aware that, due to the '''Tank's''' large size, the [[Warden]] and freezing towers can only slow the '''Tank''' down for a shorter period of time compared to an average-sized enemy.

==Trivia==
*The '''Tank''' originally had an ability called ''Rock Throw'' where it would throw boulders at towers. This would stun them for a period of time.
**This ability was based on the ''Left 4 Dead'' zombie, the [[w:c:left4dead:The Tank|Tank]].
**When the '''Tank''' was first added, the ''Rock Throw'' could vary in velocity. It could go far, or it could crumble right upon the first tower it hit.
***The bits of rock that the boulder split into also had irregular hitboxes.
**The boulders could be blocked by a player's torso.
*The first two versions of the '''Tank''' had arms taken from the {{RLinkBU|299|Superhero}} package in the Roblox catalog.
**The first two versions of the '''Tank''' resembled the [[w:c:r2d:Tank|Tank]] from ''R2D'' and are likely a reference to said game.
*Unlike its counterpart, the [[Speedy Boss]], the '''Tank''' cannot be spawned from the [[Mystery Boss]].
**This is likely due to the '''Tank''' having a high amount of health and a very fast speed, which would make the game incredibly difficult if it spawned from [[Mystery Boss]]es.
*The current appearance of the '''Tank''' is similar to the [[w:c:left4dead:The Charger|Charger]] from ''Left 4 Dead 2''.
**It could also draw inspiration to the current [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Boss4|Boss4]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The [[Commander]]'s dialogue suggests the '''Tank''' can throw boulders. However, this never happens in-game.
**This is because the dialogue was made during [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], where the '''Tank''' still had its ''Rock Throw'' ability. The dialogue was not changed for the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]].
***The dialogue also suggests that the '''Tank''' used to play in Baseball leagues.
*The '''Tank''' was a sendable enemy in [[PVP Test]] since the first test, however, it could not actually be sent as it only had 25 waves.
**This was not the case since the second test, as it was extended to 30 waves there.
**Its stats were also not finished, with both its speed and health being set to 0.
