TERROR TANK

Toy Made:   Yes

Function According to Toy Box:   Cannibal

Special Equipment:

• Cannon: There is a long cannon barrel at the front of the vehicle that can be used to deploy lasers, skid gun fluid, and the two special items listed below. Terror Tank can raise, lower, and maneuver the cannon barrel to a limited extent.
  • Tangle Vines: Capsules or wads of netting that open up upon impact, entangling opponents.

  • Tractor Beam: The tractor beam is a yellow ray that is used to hold objects or fleeing opponents in place.

• Chomper Extension: The chomper extension is a flexible stalk with a large mouth that looks like a venus flytrap. The mouth has large fangs and is used primarily for biting opponents.

Appearance:

This vehicle is the unholy marriage of a tank with a venus flytrap. The body is white with orange and yellow accents. The front bumper looks like a row of closed fangs. The chomper extension is a green plant stalk topped with a wide mouth. The mouth has four white fangs and occasionally drips saliva. (Lizzard's Note: Now there's an attractive sight. A venus flytrap with spittle.) Two small triangular yellow eyes lay beneath the chomper extension. The vehicle moves on two grey tank treads and a single black wheel.

History:

Terror Tank is mainly used for combat and intimidation purposes. Terror Troopers generally lead the Monster Mind forces when the Saw Troopers are absent.

A legion of Terror Troopers attempted to destroy the cat-people's city in Do Not Disturb. They were split into two groups and easily defeated. A Terror Trooper was in charge pulling the Vortex Plug in Hook, Line, and Sinker. It ordered the enemy forces to pursue the illusionary Root, which resulted in the whole lot being swept away by the Radiation Rapids. When Saw Boss' headquarters was became stranded on Vykon in Space Thief, a Terror Trooper was sent to investigate. He encountered electrical interference outside the base and promptly devolved into plant matter, ultimately shrinking away to nothing. (Lizzard's Note: This same thing happened to my high school science teacher a few years back.) A Terror Trooper was responsible for revealing the importance of Audric's hidden message in a vase to Saw Boss in Vase of Xiang.

The original humanoid Terror Tank is apparently one of Saw Boss' lieutenants, and one of the brighter ones at that. There is some competition between Terror Tank and Gun Grinner over who can better suck up to Saw Boss; the two also argue over which one of them gets to annihilate Jayce -- if the Monster Minds ever succeed in battle!
