Tank Ligany (タンクリガニー Tanku Riganī) was a tank-themed Ligany Type Jamen Beast of the Dark Empire Yodonheim. It was one of the three released by the invasion gate created from the dark energy gathered by Nazokake Jamen.
History[]
Tank Ligany, Shield Shellga, and Sengoku Basra are all created by Carantula to defend the Yodon Ivy Seed until it matures enough to turn the Earth into an uninhabitable (for humans) wasteland. Tank Ligany is hidden within a building in different parts of Sector R-15 shortly after the death of the Nazokake Jamen when Galza confronts Mashin Oradin and Yodonna orders the attack. 
TV STORY-Episode 32: There's Something About Sayo
The Jamen Beasts begin demolishing the city together which forces the Kiramagers to split up to cover more ground. Whilst Juru and Tametomo fight an army of Bechats on the ground, Kiramaizin, GigantDriller and King Express Zabyun (piloted by the remaining four Kiramagers) confront the Jamen Beasts. GigantDriller takes on Tank Ligany, smacking it around and accidentally making it obliterate some Bechats as well. As Tametomo and Juru confront Yodonna who holds Sayo hostage, the Jamen Beasts are finally knocked back but team up in a train formation which wipes out all three Giant Robos. The tables turn however when Grateful Phoenix (Mashin Hakobu now free from Galza's control because of Mashin Oradin's help) rips the Yodon Ivy Seed out of the building it is being kept in and flies off with it. Now joined by Galza in Smog Jouki, as the Kiramagers become the Go Kiramagers and enter their Mashins, the assembled heroes and villains do battle with each other. When Smog Jouki tackles Grateful Phoenix and the Yodon Ivy Seed out of the sky, it is passed to King Express Zabyun but Tank Ligany blasts it with enough force to make it drop the Yodon Ivy Seed. Once the Yodon Ivy Seed starts to bud, the Jamen Beasts now adopt their train formation again but Tametomo realizes that they use a rock-paper-scissors formation and thus they can counter it. After Mashin Express Zabyun downs Shield Shellga, Tank Ligany is next but Kiramaizin Carry's shield allows it to walk through the blasts and Mashin Helico blows it away with her Hyper Hurricane and a massive smack to the face. Smog Jouki soon summons them back to their feet to defend the Yodon Ivy Seed but Grateful Phoenix rushes into the sky and charges up the Grateful Prominence attack with solar energy. Flying back down, the formation cleaves all three Jamen Beasts in half with the attack and they fall on their backs and explode. With the Jamen Beasts dead, the Kiramagers easily destroy the Yodon Ivy Seed with the Grateful Go Arrow and force Galza to retreat. TV STORY-Episode 33: Giant Panic, Big Clash!
Personality[]
Tank Ligany was a violent and brutally efficient Jamen Beast who spoke only in roars and growls. It was also clearly a team player since it happily and effortlessly teamed up with the Shield Shellga and Sengoku Basra as well as Smog Jouki to try and defend the Yodon Ivy Seed.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Energy Blasts: The Tank Ligany could shoot small light orange-yellow energy blasts from the tank barrel on its Jamen capable of causing massive explosions and a single blast to King Express Zabyun's back made it drop the Yodon Ivy Seed.
Abilities[]
- Durability: Multiple punches and stabs to Tank Ligany's Jamen from GigantDriller had little to no effect on it.
- Train Formation: When Tank Ligany, Sengoku Basra, and Shield Shellga worked together, they could get in a line together to form an inseparable train-like conga line.
- Triple Attack: When in train mode, Tank Ligany, Sengoku Basra, and Shield Shellga could perform a devastating triple attack. The attack had Shield Shellga deflect the attacks of the opponents before Tank Ligany blasted it with its tank gun and Sengoku Basra charged forth and double slashed them all.
Weaknesses[]
- Vulnerability to Shield: Kiramaizin Carry was able to block most of Tank Ligany's firepower with its shield, rendering its sole attack utterly useless.
Arsenal[]
- Claws: Although it never used them, the Tank Ligany had razor sharp claws on its fingers.
