Tank Grunt wants to be just like his old man. He spends his days lifting heavy things, dodging imaginary bullets, and being bigger than the other guy, but deep down inside, he wonders if anyone really knows who he is.
Tank Grunt is the eldest son of General Buzz Grunt and Lyla Grunt. He is the older brother of Ripp and Buck Grunt, and is distant from both of them. Tank is the General's only son who wants to follow his father into Military career. Tank is the only teen in Strangetown that doesn't have any friends.
Tank wants to be like his father some day, and follows in his footsteps. They have a good relationship, but Tank wants to impress him by geting a job Military. Tank's also part of the feud against the Smith family; he's enemies with Johnny Smith and wants to win a fight with him.

Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP)
Tank, his father, General Buzz, and brother, Ripp, all live together with the Smith family. Oddly, Buck doesn't appear in this game. Tank has let someone hack onto his computer and you have to repair it. During this time, he will be constantly beating on Ripp until his computer is fixed. You can sell secrets to Tank, but the one he wants to know is why Pollination Tech#9 Smith is outside around midnight, snooping by the alien crash site. You do not have to tell him, but if you choose not to, he will become very angry with you.
(Personal): Tank wanted to go into ballet, but his father forced him into the military.
(Intimate): Tank secretly blames Ripp for stealing his first love... an action figure named Missy McBoom.
(Dark): Tank once got punished by Buzz for being "too creative" with his face paint.
Life leading up to The Sims 2 (Game Boy Advanced)
Tank appears as an NPC who helps the player, and appears in episodes. He is also an adult in Game Boy Advance, while he is a teen in the PC/Mac and PSP versions of The Sims 2. This shows that the game takes place after the PC/Mac and PSP versions of The Sims 2. Another thing that shows us the game is after The Sims 2 PC/Mac and PSP, is the biografy of Tank. It says; "The son of an army general, Tank was destined to follow his father's footsteps until an injured funny bone left him permanently without a sense of irony." This also shows that it after The Sims 2 PC/Mac and PSP, plus it shows that Tank started acting after his military part-time job.
Life leading up to The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)
Tank appears in The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS) as a hotel guest. He is an adult and it is suspected his strange scarring is from a funny bone accident back in his military days.
