Supertankers are designed for putting out wildfires where normal firefighters cannot reach. They have the ability to dive into water sources such as lakes and rivers and collect a large volume of water in the Liquid Collection Scoop. It can also suck in other fluids, such as fire-retardant foam, air or smoke, located on the Supertanker's back and connected to the High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tanks and the Pressurised Fluid Cannon.

The twin High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tanks uses advanced storage technology to greatly increase the volume of water that can be held, compared to the dimensions of the container. The High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tank can also store gases. It tends to swell at full capacity, thus allowing even greater storage power. At its fullest capacity, the High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tank can hold 37,100 litres of water, combining to make 74,200 litres of storage. They are located underneath the Liquid Collection Scoop and are roughly the size of a fire extinguisher.

The Pressurised Fluid Cannon, located on the Supertanker's right arm, is used in a variety of ways. It can either take fluid from the High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tanks, or suck up fluid from a contained source, like a water tank. It is capable of creating a fine mist, all the way up to knocking a man off his feet. However, the pressure takes time to build, with the highest pressure of 2,000 kPa taking ten minutes to build. The Supertanker is also capable of shooting stored water from their mouth, giving them the nickname 'water-breathers'.

The Amphibious Propeller/Rocket engines located on the Supertanker's lower legs allow for high-speed movement through air or water. The throttle control of the Amphibious Propeller/Rocket engines only have three rates: no throttle, full throttle, and equalised. The equalised mode balances the weight-to-throttle ratio, allowing the Supertanker to hover in one spot. Upon entry into the water, the rocket engine will automatically cut throttle, instead diverting power to the propeller. The propeller is specifically designed for underwater usage and cannot effectively function out of the water. The propeller will spin idly at no throttle and equalised mode, and faster when at full throttle. The two engines are capable of lifting much heavier objects than the Supertanker, allowing her to lift a industrial watertank to a location. The Amphibious Propeller/Rocket engines can recede into the Supertanker's lower legs, allowing for uncumbersome travel on foot.

The Solar Array of the Supertanker allows her to be constantly powered in the daytime. At night, an external battery can replace the Solar Array. The Solar Array powers all systems, thus needs to be powerful at energy creation. One square centimetre of the Solar Array can produce one megajoule of power in approximately ten seconds.

The Fuel Fabricator is capable of breaking down molecules and reconstructing them into different molecular structures. It takes in air from the Liquid Collection Scoop and breaks down the molecules, then reforming it into fuel, which is sent to the Amphibious Propeller/Rocket engines.

The Advanced Repair System is normally not in use, however, if a Supertanker takes damage, the Advanced Repair System will spring to life, rapidly repairing the Supertanker. However, it cannot function while the Supertanker is using the Pressurised Fluid Cannon. It makes up for this by being able to quickly repair the Supertanker despite taking critical damage, such as loss of limbs or heavy fire. It is remarkably more powerful than most other Mechanoid Beast repair systems, excepting custom models.

The Fire Extinguisher is a handheld item, unusable by the Supertanker directly, but can be given to a person capable of wielding it. The Fire Extinguisher is usually a one-use item, however, if placed inside the Fire Extinguisher compartment, it will be refilled.

The Supertanker has a fairly heavy build, with wide hips and a large bust. They take the appearance of a Dragon, with the Liquid Collection Scoop above their wings and behind their head like a hood, withthe High-Capacity Liquid Storage Tanks at about the same level as the wings. The Supertanker is usually coloured bluey-green, to distinguish them from flames and to give them camouflage in the water, however, a red-and-white paint job can also be spotted among individuals. They have a fairly protective personality, being kind and gentle. They will rush to evacuate people from a ring of fire or a burning building.
