10.2 ultra-drill

This drill will open a hole in the universe!

A 10.2 ultra-drill is piece of Cybertronic technology. Presumably, its function involves some type of drilling. The ultra type, whatever that is. (Could this be a vital operation in producing ultra gears?)

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Alpha Trion was searching for a 10.2 ultra-drill lost somewhere in his workshop when a group of Decepticons, led by Megatron, burst in, demanding he give them the Key to Vector Sigma.

He tried to resist, but they managed to overpower him and take the Key, leaving him severely damaged. A group of Autobots soon arrived and repaired him, and after a journey to Vector Sigma fraught with peril, Alpha Trion sacrificed himself by merging with the supercomputer in order to grant life to the Aerialbots.

The fate of his misplaced 10.2 ultra-drill is, sadly, unknown. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1

Legends comic

The ultra-drill was a device used by Alpha Trion to open portals between dimensions. Whenever the Legends World was threatened he would use it to summon somebody from another universe to help, including Ultra Magnus, LG14 Ultra Magnus Chromia, LG17 Blackarachnia and Alexis Thi Dang. LG18 Armada Starscream Super Mode On request, he opened a portal for Springer to use. LG19 Springer Prologue Jealous of Springer's popularity, Tigatron then stole the ultra-drill and used it to bring forth women from various dimensions in hopes that they would like him better. LG19 Springer The device went on to trade hands repeatedly: it was stolen by Chromedome to summon Papika, LG33 Highbrow borrowed by Minerva to summon Ginrai, LG35 Super Ginrai stolen again by Weirdwolf to bring over Full-Tilt, LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter and once again by Waspinator and used to summon Delta Magnus.

Alpha Trion finally managed to keep the ultra-drill to himself when it was time to summon Swerve, LG43 Trypticon but then he himself was captured by the Decepticon Targetmasters and forced to use it to bring over their smaller partners. The six partners' plasma energy was too dangerous, however, so Trion put the ultra-drill in reverse and scattered them across the Legends World at the cost of destroying the drill.
