	On a post-war Cybertron, Drillbuster was one of the few [[Builder of Cybertron\|Builders of Cybertron]] that retained his mobility in fuel-starved times, thanks to his more efficient [[Micromaster]] body. When an anti-government faction arose, the [[Resistance]], Drillbuster was made part of a team to help counter their terrorist activities.		On a post-war Cybertron, Drillbuster was one of the few [[Builder of Cybertron\|Builders of Cybertron]] that retained his mobility in fuel-starved times, thanks to his more efficient [[Micromaster]] body. When an anti-government faction arose, the [[Resistance (BWU)\|Resistance]], Drillbuster was made part of a team to help counter their terrorist activities.

	Said team, under the command of [[Hot Rod (G1)\|Hot Rod]], learned that their opponents had managed to steal the [[G-Virus]], a potent weapon capable of transforming anyone exposed to it into a copy of [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]]. Through his sources, Drillbuster learned that the [[Maximal]] rebel [[Grimlock (G1)\|Grimlock]] was most likely the one who orchestrated the virus's theft. With this information, Hot Rod was able to accurately predict the Resistance's next target. Hot Rod posted Drillbuster as a guard in [[Tesarus (polity)\|Tesarus Arena]]. When the attack inevitably came, Drillbuster was instructed to stay in place, just in case Grimlock's assault was a diversion for a bigger attack. It wasn't, and so Drillbuster missed out on all the action. {{storylink\|Micro-Aggressions}}		Said team, under the command of [[Hot Rod (G1)\|Hot Rod]], learned that their opponents had managed to steal the [[G-Virus]], a potent weapon capable of transforming anyone exposed to it into a copy of [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]].
