Tankman

Tankman is the man who appears inside the tank featured in the Newgrounds logo. He appears as an Assist character in Fraymakers.

Character description
The Newgrounds tank logo was created in 2000 and features Tankman riding his tank with a distant city and orange sky in the background. He initially wore a helmet, goggles, and a mostly black shirt, but with the logo's redesign in 2006, the goggles were replaced with a helmet visor and the front of the shirt became white. Following his debut, Tankman has become a mascot for the website, with many games and animations featuring the logo when loading and often parodying it by inserting their own characters in the place of Tankman.

Tankman is also the main protagonist of the Tankmen Flash-animated series by Jeff Bandelin. Here, he is also referred to as The Captain and is portrayed as a sarcastic character obsessed with crude humor and movies from the twentieth century. This version of Tankman also appears as a playable character in the Flash fighting game Newgrounds Rumble, where he is a slow but powerful fighter who fights using weapons such as guns, grenades, and his signature tank.

In Fraymakers
Tankman is one of the Assist characters in Fraymakers, appearing inside his tank. When called upon, he aims his tank gun diagonally upward and fires, attacking opponents in the way.
