The Timemarker is a Tier 5 Tank that upgrades from Clockwork and Flank Cruiser at level 60.

Design
The Timemarker is identical to Clockwork, but it has Flank Cruiser's frontal barrel in front. It is nested right between its two Clockwork clocks.

Technical
All of Timemarker's guns function exactly as expected. Its clocks and swarms act identically to Clockworks, with the clocks spawning bees that crowd around them, and the swarms being controllable and looping around from the back to go forward and hit enemies. The Basic barrel simply fires bullet forward. The slight outward angle and controllable swarms makes this tank a solid improvement over Flank Cruiser, and its frontal firepower makes it a powerful upgrade to Clockwork.

As the Timemarker

 * This tank plays more like the Flank Cruiser than the Clockwork. Make heavy use of your front gun and swarms, and let your clock's bees act as protection against small arms fire.



Against the Timemarker

 * Although it is more powerful than either of its branches, neither of them are particularly strong which means this tank is not either. It can be outclassed by more typical strong tanks, such as Oxyrrhexis or Industrialist.
 * Do not use Pelleter branches against it, particularly the Punt Gun branch. Its bees are not good for offense but their numbers, respawn rate and tendency to cluster around the tank means your pellets likely will not make it through the swarm.



History
The Timemarker was conceptualized by Misfit Being on 4/8/2023 with the name of Clock Tab. 6 days later, it was renamed to Timemarker and publicized in this post. On the same day, its Scenexe code was made, followed shortly by its article.
