  • Series: Classics Series

Drill Bit is a green, bronze, black, orange, and purple redeco of Cybertron Stripmine, transforming into a Cybertronic treaded vehicle with a cannon of some form on the top, possibly a laser-drill or a variant of a MASER tank. Drill Bit can stand on the "control panel" portion of Heavy Load's vehicle mode above the mixing drum, or attach to it in vehicle mode. He was available only with his larger partner.

Due to a design flaw, Drill Bit cannot Powerlinx to most toys in vehicle mode, due to his treads blocking the socket. However, though Heavy Load's instructions fail to show it, Drill Bit does have a peg that allows his big buddy to hold him as an odd rifle-sorta... weapon?

Notes

• Heavy Load's instruction sheet parses Drill Bit's name as a single word, "Drillbit". However, the box copy retains the two-word version that's been used by every other iteration of the name.
