'''Energon Drillers''' are vehicles piloted by [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] used to mine [[Energon crystal]]s.

Energon Drillers were at work in one of the Decepticons' Energon mines which [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] showed to [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. When the [[Autobot]]s attacked the mine in an attempt to recover [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], several [[Decepticon Miner|miners]] tried to use their Energon Drillers to fend them off, but were easily tossed aside. The machines were presumably destroyed when Starscream then blew up the mine. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

Three Energon Drillers were stored inside a supposedly [[stripped energon mine]] that Starscream was using for himself. After [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and Megatron brought the mine down in a gunfight, [[Jack Darby]] commandeered an Energon Driller to rescue [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}

The Decepticons also possess a smaller class of Energon Driller. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}} [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and some miners used a drill to uncover an Iacon relic in [[New York City|New York]]'s subway system. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}}

The Energon Driller has 2 modes- a normal one and an "attack" mode. In normal mode the drill spins as the wheels on the bottom turn as you push it along. To switch modes there is a slider just behind where the pilot would be positioned which activates an auto-morph. In attack mode a couple of rocket launchers flip out and and the sections they are mounted on swivel out at an almost 45 degree angle. The rocket launchers can each be manned by a Legion class figure or a Commander class although its a bit of a tight fit in this case.

Another feature is the "Energon Booster". This is a small piece of plastic shaped a bit like a gun that lights up when a button on the main body of the Driller is pressed. It can be positioned in various places throughout the Driller, including into the drill itself, into the backs of the rocket launchers (which makes them light up at the front), and in several other positions across the main body through both 3mm and 5mm holes. It can also be attached to any Cyberverse figure and their weapons. In "attack" mode pressing the button also spins the drill which is no longer activated by the wheels on the bottom of the drill.

The '''''Jackhammer''''' is a starship in which the [[Wrecker]] known as [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] travels the stars alone, though there's room enough for two.

It is also known as the '''''Star Hammer'''''.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] went dark, Wheeljack began traveling the stars alone in the ''Jackhammer''.

Eventually, Wheeljack reached [[Earth]]'s [[Solar System]] and was hailed by the Autobots stationed there, including Bulkhead. As he was coming in to land at the coordinates provided by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], the ''Jackhammer'' was attacked and shot down by [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] somewhere over what would appear to be [[Egypt]].

After Wheeljack defeated his [[Makeshift (Prime)|Doppelgänger]], the ''Jackhammer'' was repaired, and though the Autobots welcomed Wheeljack to stay, he revealed that he intended to return to space. He invited Bulkhead along, but Bulkhead was too attached to his friends on Earth to leave. Bulkhead was sure he'd return someday... {{storylink|Con Job}}

While searching the galaxy, Wheeljack found [[Seaspray (Prime)|Seaspray]], only for the other Wrecker's ship to be destroyed. He chased the culprit, [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]], to Earth. After a firefight, Wheeljack flew the ''Jackhammer'' to the Autobot base, where it was concealed in a cave atop the mountain. Wheeljack and Bulkhead later used it when they went to try and hunt down Dreadwing. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}

During the third Iacon relic hunt, Wheeljack picked up Ratchet, and the two Autobots set out in the ''Jackhammer'' to head for the coordinates. En route there, the two encountered [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], who proceeded to attack the ship before dispatching [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] to deal with the Autobots. The midair fight that ensued left both the ''Jackhammer'' and Laserbeak damaged. After planting a virus and a decoy bomb in Laserbeak, Ratchet returned to base while Wheeljack opted to stay with and repair his ship.{{storylink|Triage}}

*'''''Star Hammer'' with Wheeljack''' (Cyberverse Vehicle)
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, two missiles, forward gun

:This Action set of the ''Star Hammer'' unfolds into a battle platform by sliding back the seat-shaped tab on its stern, which automatically folds out the ship's wings and elevates two large spring-loaded cannons into position. The cannons are operable in both modes, but in battle platform mode, feature flip-down handlebars that allow other ''[[Cyberverse]]'' figures to man them. The ship features an opening cockpit that can seat the included Wheeljack figure or any other ''Cyberverse'' figure of an appropriate size. The ship is decorated with numerous 3mm holes to hold ''Cyberverse'' weaponry, and even a few [[5mm post|5mm]] holes for good measure.

:In addition to its auto-transforming feature, the ''Star Hammer'' is built around its electronic "[[Energon Booster]]": an accessory attached to the body of the ship by a length of flexible wire which lights up with a green LED when the Autobot symbol on the ship's body is pressed. Equipped with several 3mm ports and posts, the booster can plug into any of the holes on the ship: in particular, it can mount behind the ship's cockpit to illuminate the translucent blue (removable) gun mounted there, or, in a feature not mentioned in the toy's instructions, it can snap into the rear of either of the two missile launchers and light them up. The booster can also plug into and illuminate any Commander-class figures and their weaponry.
