Mole Drone
- Vehicon Moles are drone vehicles from the Beast Machines cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Vehicon moles are heavily armored machines, built for (surprise, surprise) digging. Not much is known about them. They seem unique among Megatron's Vehicon drones in that they show no evidence of transforming into robot modes. This is compounded by the fact that Megatron didn't see fit to create a general for this group of drones despite the fact that the Maximals spent most of their time hiding from him underground.

Once the Maximals returned to their base camp however, Rattrap lost control of the Mole, and it was up to Optimus to force it into drilling down to the core. The Key
One tried to attack the fossil chamber, but Nightscream obliterated it.
Guess what? Another one popped up.
