Tankers

The Tanker is the first known Beetleworx. One form of the tanker had the appearance of Mickey's Car with the head of Hades, from Hercules, protruding from the front bumper, made to intimidate and twist Mickey's vision of his friends. They are made from discarded animatronic bits, such as the plasma guns from Lilo and Stitch, and are part painted and part inert, though this version was removed from the final version for unknown reasons

Another type of Tanker, one that resides in Tomorrow City, has the helmet and plasma guns of the alien troopers from Lilo & Stitch, and the body of a Light Cycle from Tron (called the "Light Cycle" Tanker). A third type, seen during the fight with the Mad Doctor, has the head of the Hag version of the Evil Queen from Snow White' and the apple that Snow White ate for a body (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 in Rainbow Caverns. There is also a new type of Tanker that is found in Float Yard, which is based on Ursula from the Little Mermaid. Tankers can shoot paint from their right cannons and thinner from the left ones.

If they spot you, they will shoot either Paint and Thinner. If you get close to them, they will punch you. To defeat a Tanker, you have to use Thinner to remove its armor. It will shoot Paint and Thinner while its body turns around slowly. When it reveals a green button on it's back, use your Spin Move to damage it. You can use paint to slow them down. The scrapped Hades versions appear in the Train Tunnels in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
