He makes up for his lack of transformation with a positive personality.

AredecoofSlammer,Metrotank is... well, a tank. He transforms into a tower for Metrotitan's city mode by removing the tank turret (and just setting it aside) and flipping out a large "antenna" from the front. He was only available as part of the Metrotitan set.

Notes

• Metrotank's new body in theLegendsmanga is a "virtual redeco" of theSiegeDeluxe ClassBrunttoy due to theKingdomDeluxe ClassSlammertoy not being known until2021.Unfortunately, this means Metrotank is the odd man out in contrast to his squadmates who share bodies with the relevant Autobot toys.
