The '''Tanker''' is a type of [[Beetleworx]] in ''[[Epic Mickey]]'' and ''[[Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two]]''. They have the most intricate design of any of the common Beetleworx types, sporting four metallic legs, large arms with paint and thinner cannons and an eerie face with a gaping maw. Even their toon armor is more elaborate, often being a mishmash of various parts then just based off one thing like their fellow Beetleworx. They are first encountered in [[Space Voyage]] in Epic Mickey 1 and the [[Floatyard]] in Epic Mickey 2.

==Variants==

=== In Epic Mickey ===

* In [[Tomorrow City]], the Tanker has the helmet and plasma guns of the alien troopers from ''Lilo & Stitch'', and the body of a Light Cycle from ''[[wikipedia:Tron_(film)|Tron]]'' (called the "Light Cycle" Tanker).
* In [[Lonesome Manor]], the Tanker has the head of the Evil Queen from ''[[wikipedia:Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs_(1937_film)|Snow White]]'' in her old witch disguise'', ''and has the poisoned apple for a torso and jars of poisons for arm cannons (It is covered in a pale green ooze making it look like a skull and is often called the "Hag Head" Tanker.). This type of Tanker reappears in ''Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two'' in [[Rainbow Caverns]] and in the [[Mad Doctor's Attic]].

=== In Epic Mickey 2 ===

* In the [[Floatyard]], there is a new type shown based on [[Ursula]] from ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(1989_film) The Little Mermaid]''.

* There is a variant of the Tanker that has the appearance of [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]]'s car with the head of [[Hades]] from ''[[wikipedia:Hercules_(1997_film)|Hercules]]'' protruding from the front bumper and the plasma guns from ''[[wikipedia:Lilo_&_Stitch|Lilo & Stitch]]''. Though this variant was removed from the final version of ''Epic Mickey'' for unknown reasons (potential replaced by the Light Cycle tanker to be more appropriate with the area). It was included in the sequel, appearing in the second visit of the [[Train Tunnels]].

==Strategy==
Tankers can shoot [[Paint]] from their right cannons (knocking Mickey back) and [[Thinner]] from the left ones (causing damage to Mickey).

If they spot you, they will shoot either Paint or Thinner. If you get close to them, they will punch you with an uppercut. A good way to defeat a Tanker is to use Thinner to remove its armor. Once it spins around, shooting paint and thinner, spin its weak spot. Alternatively, you can slowly sneak up behind them, and attack their weak spot before they can react. They are mostly immune to paint, but it will slow them down. The best way to defeat a Tanker is to use an Anvil Sketch or TV Sketch to instantly destroy them.
