Jeff Dunham, one of the most famous ventriloquists in the world, has a new puppet in his arsenal – a grumpy tank commander named Walter. To showcase his new character, Jeff has commissioned Wayde and Brett at ATM (Acrylic Tank Manufacturing) to build him a custom tank that will be suitable for a cranky army officer.

The guys start by visiting Jeff at his ranch outside of Los Angeles. Jeff shows the team the area where the tank will be displayed and gives them a tour of his collection of military memorabilia. He explains that he wants the tank to be a centerpiece of his collection and wants it to be a perfect match for Walter's personality.

Wayde and Brett take measurements and notes, and then head back to Las Vegas to get started on the design. They decide on a sleek, angled style and incorporate some unique features, such as a camouflaged exterior and a replica of a WW2 aircraft gun on the top.

As they work on the tank's exterior, Wayde and Brett realize they still need to figure out how to make the inside look like a tank commander's quarters. They decide to visit a local army surplus store to get inspiration and pick up some authentic military gear to incorporate into the design.

Finally, the day of the reveal arrives. Jeff and his wife, Audrey, come to Las Vegas to see the tank for the first time. The team has mounted an M60 tank barrel on top of the tank for added effect. They've also added Walter's face to the tank's side, so he can oversee the whole display.

Jeff is thrilled with the end result and can't wait to introduce Walter to his fans. But before they install the tank at Jeff's ranch, they decide to take it for a test drive on the Las Vegas strip. Wayde and Brett take turns driving the tank down the street, surprising pedestrians and drawing a crowd.

With their mission complete, Wayde and Brett deliver the tank to Jeff's ranch. The finished product is stunning, and Jeff eagerly calls Walter inside to see his new home. The curmudgeonly old puppet is impressed and happily jumps into the tank, ready to take on the world.

Overall, this episode of Tanked showcases Wayde and Brett's creativity and attention to detail. The tank they build for Jeff Dunham is not only visually stunning but also functional and authentic-looking. Fans of Jeff Dunham will love seeing him team up with ATM to create a one-of-a-kind tank for his beloved puppet, Walter.
