Changes: Tankmon

Revision as of 13:59, 11 September 2020

Tankmon is an Android Digimon. It holds the alias of "Mercenary Digimon", since it will assist both Vaccine and Virus Digimon if it becomes profitable to do so. With its heavyweight-power and the heavy artillery installed all throughout its body, it can pulverize the enemy into scrap without even turning to face them. As it is extremely fond of strife, it follows after conflicts wherever they occur. When this loner Digimon goes somewhere, the fighting there will never cease.^[2]

Attacks

Hyper Cannon: Fires a super-powerful missile from the gun barrel on its head.
Machine Gun Arms (Machine Gun Arm)
Poison Drive (Hell Drive)
Sub Machine Gun (Sub Vulcan)
Metal Shot: Fires with hard metal balls.
