yeah... y'know whats an updated and more better version of stalker?
i digress.
probably one of my most favorite TF tanks is cybertron defense scattershot. he has the only key gimmick i actually thought was worth while. awesome tank, awesomer robot mode literally bursting with weaponry. so. much. FUN
Those are cool toys, but I didnt see them as tanks, thats why they didnt even come up when I was jotting down all the possibilities. Defense Scattershot, the scout scattershot, stalker, G1 double dealer and defense red alert are all missile launcher army vehicles (I am sure there are more but I cant think of them right now). I was looking more at the traditional idea of a tank, with a single long cannon (insert penis joke here) whether it be of earth (like G2 Megs) or cybertronian (like WFC Megs) design.

Those two are good examples of tank transformers that I did think about and were on the list I was choosing from. But no, there was no love. Animated shockwave is awesome but for him morphing between robot modes. I usually stick to those and avoid his two alt modes which I find quite lackluster, and unapealing. It really looks like a robot on all fours and his head is right there with no face plate hiding it (unlike the great Armada Megs who was so close to making it). Same for Prime Shockwave. The robot mode is awesome, but the tank mode (which is a big factor in this list) looks like an afterthought. The arms and shoulders aren't concealed or integrated well and you have to detach his arm for the cannon to sit right.
Of all the tank shockwaves out there, I found DOTM to have the best tank mode, and I really love his transformation. He was a really cool mix of a classic character being reinterpreted for the movie line. Hence why he got an honourable mention.
