The Tanker is an unplayable enemy vehicle from Twisted Metal: Black. It only appears in the final level of story mode.
When defeated, the wreckage remains, and the player must shoot at it when WarHawk is overhead in order to damage its shield. This process must be repeated three times and Warhawk's shield is then depleted.
The vehicle does not reappear again unless you restart the level.
Design[]
It resembles a Mack MH Ultraliner, and while the model resembles that of Minion's, it is also significantly different. Its trailer has the text "EXPLOSIVE" on it.
Special Weapon[]
It uses a weaker version of Minion's flamethrower special weapon that is incapable of shooting Napalm blasts.
Trivia[]
- The Tanker seems to be similar in (if not the same) size to the boss version of Minion.
- The player only has to take out a portion of the Tanker's health before it enters a harmless damaged state, where the player must then finish it off in order to damage WarHawk's shield.
