Tusks

Tusks is a guy that transforms into a piano from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

"Slag! Play me some filler, Johnny!"

Tusks plays music in the corner of Maccadam's Old Oil House.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Wonder if he plays Cold Slither.

The Decepticon Fang entered Maccadam's, and boy, was he cranky. Annoyed that Tusks's music wasn't to his own liking, he started bashing the tiny music-playing Transformer against the wall.

It took a while, but the Wreckers sitting at the other side of Maccadam's realized they should probably put a stop to this. Tusks should have been grateful that his prolonged maiming served as eye-opening symbolism—a metaphor, if you will—of the consequences of the Wreckers' indifference and slacked devotion to duty.

In some universal streams, Tusks downsized when energon became scarce and became a Predacon. He fought alongside the reality-displaced cyborg Scales. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/03

Beast Wars: Uprising

Tusks was a musical fellow, and an occasional attendee of the First Church of Primus in Dodecahex. He hid in the church with the rest of the congregation during the Vehicon Apocalypse, and presumably escaped through the underground tunnels. Derailment

Notes

• Tusks was not named in his original appearance. He received a name decades later via the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime.
• If you're puzzled by the name, bear in mind that piano keys were traditionally made with ivory.
