'''Drill Nuts''' (ドリルナッツ ''Dorirunattsu'') is a self-proclaimed genius (of the [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] variety) and "Master Inventor of the [[Insectron|Insectrons]]". When he's not making bombs and explosives for use in underground operations, he spends most of his free time building strange and intricate doodads. Most of it is really just junk that doesn't even work that well ("Boomerang Bomb," anyone?) but he enjoys doing it nonetheless. He has a very sarcastic personality that often comes off as rude or insulting, at least to those who fail to appreciate his genius. Drill Nuts is more at home underground than above it and is an expert at laying booby traps or popping up under an unsuspecting foe. His only real flaws are when his inventions backfire (admittedly, a fairly common occurrence) or he gets too paranoid and forgets exactly how many traps he's laid and where. | '''Drill Nuts''' (ドリルナッツ ''Dorirunattsu'') is a self-proclaimed genius (of the [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] variety) and "Master Inventor of the [[Insectron|Insectrons]]".

- Drill Nuts is a Maximal Insectron from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Drill Nuts (ドリルナッツ Dorirunattsu) is a self-proclaimed genius (of the Wheeljack variety) and "Master Inventor of the Insectrons". When he's not making bombs and explosives for use in underground operations, he spends most of his free time building strange and intricate doodads. Most of it is really just junk that doesn't even work that well ("Boomerang Bomb," anyone?) but he enjoys doing it nonetheless. He has a very sarcastic personality that often comes off as rude or insulting, at least to those who fail to appreciate his genius. Drill Nuts is more at home underground than above it and is an expert at laying booby traps or popping up under an unsuspecting foe. His only real flaws are when his inventions backfire (admittedly, a fairly common occurrence) or he gets too paranoid and forgets exactly how many traps he's laid and where.
