Drillbuster

Drillbuster is an Autobot Micromaster from the Zone portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Drillbuster can breathe in space! ... wait, he doesn't breathe. Never mind.

Drillbuster is the Micromaster partner to the Autobot Road Fire, and helps him fend off the Nine Great Demon Generals.
