Description
Armored warriors in disguise!
Well, not all of them are actually Main Battle Tanks, but they're all armored/military vehicles, anyway. And with the exception of Breacher, Roadbuster, Heavytread, and Warpath (who are Autobots), the rest all happen to be Decepticons.

Leader-class Brawl (heavily-modified M1A1 Abrams)
Voyager-class Bludgeon (modified Type 90)

Deluxe-class Straxus/Darkmount (fictional half-track self-propelled cannon)

Legends-class Warpath (futuristic tank)
Deluxe-class Bonecrusher (Buffalo mineclearing vehicle)
Deluxe-class Wreckage (M1130 Stryker command vehicle)

The Force Protection Buffalo has so much armor (as well as a revolutionary design) that it's well-protected against IEDs and most explosives, probably moreso than some APCs. Not to mention its massive size compared to those cardboard-thin HMMWVs.

Not all of my TFs are tanks, but yes, these guys get the highlight simply because they're tanks.

Well, throughout the history of Transformers, we've already had military-themed Autobot characters such as:
Hound - military jeep
Powerglide - A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jet
Aerialbots - various military jets
Warpath - tank
Hardhead - tank
I really wish for at least any of these guys to appear in future Transformers movie sequels. That way, the movie Autobots would definitely look more like they have a lot of fight in them.
BTW, Jetfire is a SR-71 Blackbird in the upcoming sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

A little update as of this post...
Though I really don't seem to see any chances of Landmine appearing in ROTF, at least he and several identical duplicates appear in the second issue of the ROTF prequel comic, titled "Alliance". And yes, Wreckage appears in it too, changing his color (to match the upcoming green recolor of the toy) and getting into a fight against Starscream (who now bears tribal tattoos

My personal favorite would be Brawl (obviously!). He's armed with a 120mm cannon, two small-caliber cannons, two 4-barrel launchers, and a pair of "Ma Deuce" .50 cal machineguns (In robot mode, he's got a powerful quad cannon, a minigun, the launchers, as well as forearm and leg blades.).
Second would be either Wreckage or Bonecrusher, they're both just pure awesome in both vehicle and robot modes.
Third/fourth would be Galvatron, he's a cool Merkava-inspired tank in vehicle mode. And pure G1 Galvatron in robot mode.

I guess it depends, though, your other favorites all seem to be combat vehicles and Bonecrusher, the Buffalo, is supposed to be a life-saving vehicle used by the Army Corps of Engineers to dig up and get rid of I.E.D.'s.
