Tank is a character from the short-lived G.I. Joe toy line, Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles. His only appearance is in the single episode of the toy line's cartoon, which was sold on videotape, packaged with an action figure. The episode reveals the Screaming Eagles to be a unit of the G.I. Joe team. No Tank action figure was ever produced, but his full name was revealed in the book G.I. Joe vs. Cobra: The Essential Guide.
