In fact, they now rule the land of [[Kantonia\|Barāki]] together, with Drillfrog as its King and Snakebomb serving as his subordinate Emperor. Despite his insulting manner, he's actually a fairly popular ruler, as he does in fact work hard to better his country.

	~~'''Drillfrog''' (ドリルフロッグ ''Dorirufuroggu'')~~, ~~also known as~~ '~~''Rog''' (ロッグ ''Roggu'')~~, ~~is one~~ of the ~~many Beastformers who joined~~ the ~~insurgent army under [[Alligatron]] raised by [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]] in order~~ to ~~aid his [[Decepticon]]~~s in ~~conquering the formerly-peaceful planet [[Beast (planet)\|Beast]]. His role~~ in the ~~Decepticon-allied Beastformer forces~~ is ~~an underwater offensive soldier. He is aided in this role by~~ the ~~fact that he naturally contaminates drinking water with venom discharged from his body. His hands and feet can support his weight sticking to any~~ surface~~, and he is a powerful jumper~~. ~~Presumably these are inherent attributes of~~ his ~~species. His~~ [[MVP Weapon]], ~~the Rog Driller,~~ can ~~drill through~~ even bedrock, ~~allowing~~ him to ~~burrow through the ground and attack from unexpected directions~~.		In combat, he's a slippery one, capable of powerful leaps, and has the ability to stick to walls and ceilings using the suckers on his hand and feet, allowing him to strike from unusual angles. And he's as at home fighting in water or in the dark underground as he is on the surface. With his 'Rog Driller (ロッグドリラー ''Roggu Dorirā'') [[MVP Weapon]], he can punch holes in even the hardest bedrock up to 10 meters deep, letting him burrow to an advantageous position. And if he's feeling particularly nasty, he can secrete a poisonous liquid from his skin, capable of contaminating water sources. He and Snakebomb are masters of guerilla warfare, and incredibly dangerous when teamed up.

	~~Drillfrog holds the rank of King of [[Barāki]], in whose agricultural area~~ he ~~was born~~, ~~over Emperor [[Snakebomb (Beastformers)\|Snakebomb]] who~~ he ~~grew up alongside and is best friends with. When they fight together, they~~ can ~~employ their guerilla tactics on any battlefield~~, ~~be it in the sky, on the ground or under~~ water. He ~~is popular for his lighthearted attitude but has a weakness for dark humor~~.
