Just when you thought it was safe to go back underground

The Driller Drive is a high-tech mining vehicle. Upon being infused with the power of the Allspark, it can change into a set of powerful spark armor.

Part of the first wave of "Spark Armor" Battle Class figures, the Driller Drive is a Cybertronian drill tank. It can split into four parts that any Battle Class figure can wear as armor and weapons. It was only available packed in with Sky-Byte.

In the official stock photography, Sky-Byte is holding the drill in his hand via the post on its side - but the drill is molded to be able to fit over his fist directly, as shown in the instructions, replacing his hand. This makes for a less awkward incorporation of the weapon, though the drill cannot actually spin in either mode. The drill also depicts a yellow paint operation (or an unpainted patch) on the butt-end of the handle.

In November 2019, Sky-Byte was released as one of TakaraTomy Mall's Cyberverse "Christmas Set" offers along with his rival Jetfire.

Notes

• The Driller Drive appears to be based loosely on Zetar, sharing a similarly shaped "cockpit" and having details similar to his legs above its treads.
