Description

Name: Octane (aka Tankor)
Alliance: Decepticon 
Function: Fueler
Alternate forms: Tanker truck, Jet plane

Quote: “He who has the fuel has the power.”

 Octane wants and needs to feel important and he makes sure everyone around him grants his desire to feel that way. Octane will actually withhold Energon rations from his fellow Decepticons until they are left with one of two options: Praising Octane as All-Powerful, intelligent and brave or go into the painful process of shut-down. 

Full of doubt about his abilities as a Decepticon and warrior in general, Octane often bullies those he thinks are weaker than him and finds their suffering funny. In tanker truck form he often runs other civilian vehicles off the road and he will sometimes force other planes to crash by playing chicken with them when in his jet mode.

The more even-minded Decepticons are sickened by his pettiness, cruel behavior and pointless cruelty, but they will usually never dare to insult him due to his invaluable ability to convert any fuel source into Energon.

Despite his being a heavily armored triple-changer, Octane is completely paranoid about his internal fuel reserves igniting if he's severely damaged during battles. Octane’s paranoia is further fueled by the fact neither his jet or tanker mode have defensive weapons.

 In robot mode Octane carries a powerful liquid flame thrower that is powered by the vast amounts of reserve fuel stored inside his body but he will often not use his weapon to conserve this fuel for his own consumption needs.

 A coward by nature Octane will avoid actual conflicts at all costs and bully or trick others into fighting in his stead. When the fighting is over he will then outright lie to his superiors about his role in the battle to gain praise and favor from his superiors.

I never liked the switch to Tankor for him. Octane just seems more appropriate and cooler sounding. 

I absolutely loved his weird friendship with Sandstorm. I wish they had done more of that in the show and comics.

I agree, Octane is certainly a much better name for him.

Yes, that should have done a lot more with that in the cartoon an comics. That would have been interesting and exciting. Then again, Season 3 was lackluster as a whole. To be honest, I've more of a fan of the cartoon than the comics. I have read quite a lot of the IDW comics, but I haven't read much of the TF Marvel comics.

The TF Marvel comics are good but they don't really get great until Simon Furman takes over the writing chores. Art wise they can be somewhat hit and miss since it seems like they couldn't decide whether to do the cartoon or toy designs so they kind of go back and forth. Also the coloring on a lot of the characters was poorly done. 

Other than that the stories were pretty good.

Speaking of the TF Marvel comics, I found a new Regeneration One (which is a sequel to the TF Marvel comics) graphic novel in a shop today and I've started reading it. It's part of a series of Transformers graphic novels that they dish out in the shops at a monthly basis. Apart from that, I have only read one other graphic novel on the Marvel comics and that was just over a year ago.

Yeah that was supposed to wrap up the lingering plot threads left from the Marvel comics run. I still need to pick that series up. 

All the Marvel issues have been collected into 8 volumes of TPB from IDW called Transformers Classics. They also collected and released all the UK and Devil's Due ones as well in collected volumes.

IDW also did the same with the original G.I. Joe run from Marvel that IDW's A Real American Hero continues directly from. I highly recommend them as well.

Then again I'm only here because he admires my power and some of the others like me for other reasons it was mostly Starscream I could always tell something was wrong with ever since I came, so maybe you would...? *slowly swallows* "Anyway I think I've herd my name being called by Megatron...!


ooh! when you do they should team up to try and handle my character that is if I ever have time to draw her that is. I'm packed for the rest of ths year and next!

I don't really draw other people's OCs or take requests unless they pay me.

But I'll get to Octane and Sandstorm being buddies eventually. I did another Astrotrain pic, I just need to scan it in and color it.

Nope. I hate spiders. I had some really bad experiences with them as a kid and I'm allergic to their bites.

I had at least three nurses during this one hospital stay stab the shit out of me with needles all over my body so I dislike them. I have to turn my head when I get blood drawn.

lol well i've been rushed to the hospital after i had a large rusty nail go threw my foot, then they also found out i hadn't gotten my lockjaw booster either an they all hoped it wasn't late for that. Luckily it wasn't though all the needles and booster i'd gotten that day scared the hell out of me.

I'm not afraid as much as I hate spiders.

That sucks. I had a nail go through my foot as well but thankfully I had already had the boosters.

My bad needle experience was just having to live off of an IV for months because of a bad infection. They were either shooting painkillers in me or taking blood out of me. I was like a pin cushion

I feel your pain, really I do, and my little hospital just got worse three months later.
After the rusted nail stay, I was at the zoo cleaning out the cage to the King Cobra, and I thought they had fully put away the snake but it somehow back into it cage an I didn't know the snake was in untill I had felt a razor sharp pain in left leg.

wolfwrathVSmeta In reply to MJMJR [2012-05-15 05:17:01 +0000 UTC]

more then that, they had to rush me too the hospital once again cause i'd gone into a coma like 5 minutes after the bite and they were struggling to keep me with them. This bit happened like 2 years ago so I was smaller, and it kept getting worse.
It turns out I was highly allergic to the bite of that King Cobra and that I'd just barely lived threw it. But besides getting bite an all I was in the ER for about 3 months while they were trying to get me out of that deep coma and tryin to restore all that had been damaged from the bite.

(try and imagine seeing this)
"Myself and a couple of friends were telling about our tigers to people while also feeding them by putting slices of meat into the tigers pen, and we were told that the tigers had been locked up while doing so.
In fact the tigers were locked up, but it wasn't shut all the way so after one of them pawing at the fence a bit it was able to get threw.
Also since myself an my friend zack smelled like blood cause our hands an arms were covered in it while also our backs to them. Then next thing we knew, is that we both had a 350LBS tiger trying to rip out our throats and everyone started either screaming, fainting or even barfing cause of all the blood an such.
But the news of the attack spreaded like wildfire after one the zoo keepers that checked on us got the news about the attack from some one near by then they rushed over an shot both tigers with a dart.
Then after that me and Zack were both rushed to the nearest ER an both of us had dangerous wounds, around our necks, faces and upper bodys plus they said we had also almost bleeded to death as well and a lot more stuff I don't remember."


I've got plenty of stories like this and more if you even wanna hear one.
