comment
In 2094, a corporation that controlled all of Earth's military forces called Sen Trax successfully created Tiny Tank, a mascot for an army of machines that would fight mankind's future wars. After the successful introduction of the mascot tank, the corporation prepared an exhibition showing Tiny Tank fighting an army of their own machines throughout the Internet.100 years later, all organic life are forced to live underground while a robot named Mutank and other Sen Trax machines have taken over the surface and prepare another industrial revolution involving reducing the Earth's atmosphere oxygen levels to 0. Tiny Tank, who was destroyed 100 years prior, is rebuilt by nano-robots called Fix-it Crabs and reawakened by an orbiting AI satellite. He is now called to stop Mutank and save all life on Earth.Titled Tiny Tank: Up Your Arsenal, Tiny Tank was created as a Third-Person Shooter for the Play Station by Andnow and Appaloosa Interactive and published in 1999 by Sony Entertainment. Tiny Tank was made to mock the fad of usual mascots such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario.

Easy-Mode Mockery: Playing on easy doesn't let you continue past "The Nanometal Mountain" (Level 6). After beating said level, you get a message saying "Training is complete; to defeat Mutank you must play in Normal mode."

Hidden Depths: The last mission has more information about Bob as he takes calls from other robots in place of Mutank. He believes to have the capability to have his own radio station, and he is not that big on his superior wanting to kill all life on Earth. Ultimately, he really wants some kind of comfort after working for so long.

Bad Boss
 Tiny Tank (Video Game) / int_3cb1d38d
comment
Bad Boss: Mutank declares his new industrial revolution to be a means to improve life for the robots while killing off the humans. However, while his pilicy to remove the atmosphere would eliminate oxidation, it would also mean the lost of airborne machines like Strike Blimp. He also simply orders his men to destroy Tiny Tank whenever they can and leaves them on the surface, whereas Mutank remains in space the whole time, where issues like friction and rust are meaningless. During the last few broadcasts minus the final one, a number of calling robots lampshade how much of a terrible ruler he really is.

Book Ends: Wait long enough in the first level and you can hear Mutank on his radio show. During the credits, Bob has taken over the show and Mutank can only do commercials. Both shows have similar dialogue, complete with the same robot calling into the show, being told to turn his radio off, and asking Bob the same question he asked Mutank.

comment
Interface Screw: One of the mini-bosses is a drone that has had his turret swapped with Tiny's. Your camera is still attached to Tiny's hull, and you still control his turret, but now the drone has a say in where Tiny's turret is, and thus where you're able to reasonably aim since he tries to keep it off-camera.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Tiny Tank (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Discussed throughout the broadcast of the final battle against Mutank. One robot watches The Wizard of Oz noticed about the Tin Man being like a robot who wants a humans heart, with another asking why Mutank and the SenTrax army are seen on killing all human life. It is implied that throughout the hundred-year reign, and Mutank never gave any legit reasons like the rebelling against the humans who used the to fight in wars to they did not have to. In the end, they see Mutank as a Bad Boss who wants to kill all life on Earth For the Evulz and would make other robots suffer while doing it.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check

comment
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: If Mutank really wanted to revolutionize robotkind, he could’ve easily used their discovered railgun launcher technology to emigrate everyone to the moon with ease, where friction, rust, and flammability don’t become much of a factor. Instead, he seeks to destroy all life on Earth as well.

0% Approval Rating: Mutank starts losing his popularity when Tiny Tank starts doing so much damage to the Sentrax army and ruining his attempts to suck out the atmosphere. In the final stage, when Mutank is busy fighting him, his radio receives so many calls from angry robots and even Bob starts to agree that he has to go.
