The Energon Driller has 2 modes- a normal one and an "attack" mode. In normal mode the drill spins as the wheels on the bottom turn as you push it along.

Another feature is the "Energon Booster". This is a small piece of plastic shaped a bit like a gun that lights up when a button on the main body of the Driller is pressed. It can be positioned in various places throughout the Driller, including into the drill itself, into the backs of the rocket launchers (which makes them light up at the front), and in several other positions across the main body through both 3mm and 5mm holes.

Fiction
Prime cartoon
Energon Drillers were at work in one of the Decepticons' Energon mines which Starscream showed to Megatron. When the Autobots attacked the mine in an attempt to recover Cliffjumper, several miners tried to use their Energon Drillers to fend them off, but were easily tossed aside. The machines were presumably destroyed when Starscream then blew up the mine. Darkness Rising, Part 2
Three Energon Drillers were stored inside a supposedly stripped energon mine that Starscream was using for himself. After Arcee and Megatron brought the mine down in a gunfight, Jack Darby commandeered an Energon Driller to rescue Miko and Bulkhead. Rock Bottom

To switch modes there is a slider just behind where the pilot would be positioned which activates an auto-morph. In attack mode a couple of rocket launchers flip out and and the sections they are mounted on swivel out at an almost 45 degree angle. The rocket launchers can each be manned by a Legion class figure or a Commander class although its a bit of a tight fit in this case.
Another feature is the "Energon Booster". This is a small piece of plastic shaped a bit like a gun that lights up when a button on the main body of the Driller is pressed. It can be positioned in various places throughout the Driller, including into the drill itself, into the backs of the rocket launchers (which makes them light up at the front), and in several other positions across the main body through both 3mm and 5mm holes.
