When the specifications of Big Powered were on display, Drillbuster was shown sitting in the rear of the space cruiser (the portion made of Roadfire parts, of course). Zone Part 10
Beast Wars: Uprising
On a post-war Cybertron, Drillbuster was one of the few 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.
Said team, under the command of 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. Through his sources, Drillbuster learned that the Maximal rebel 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 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. Micro-Aggressions
Toys
Zone
- Roadfire (Autobot, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-349
- Drillbuster transforms into a Cybertronic drill tank. He was only available with his larger partner Roadfire, whose "base" mode has a ramp mechanism to launch the tiny Transformer. His gray windshield sticker will not stay on unless you glue it down, as the stickers of the later Japanese Transformers toylines were semi-thick paper with weak adhesive, not exactly good for applying to a rounded surface.
- Big Powered (Multi-pack, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-353
- All three Powered Masters (Sonic Bomber, Dai Atlas, and Roadfire) as well as their Micromaster partners were also available in a great big gift set. All of the toys in this set are identical to their individual releases.
Notes
- Drillbuster is unique among the Powered Master Micromaster partners in that he does not transform into a sports car.
- His character model served as the basis for Hayato Sakamoto's fan character Sunshine.
