Driller
- The Driller is a Decepticon from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Drillers are a type of subterranean lifeform native to Cybertron, and some of the single most dangerous creatures on or under the planet's surface. So naturally, Shockwave keeps one as a pet.
Fiction
IDW Dark of the Moon comics
Years before the war began, when Sentinel Prime's Autobots revitalized Cybertron by re-energizing the AllSpark, a Driller was drawn to the surface by the fresh energy flowing through the planet, where it attacked some Hatchlings and their protector Starscream. Megatron and Shockwave saved them from the creature, forcing it into retreat, but the beast had left an impression upon Shockwave, who deemed it "magnificent". Foundation #2
At some point before or during the war, Shockwave captured and tamed a Driller—whether it was the same creature he had fought beforehand or another member of its species is unknown—and brought it to Earth with him, where Astrotrain built a cage for it. Rising Storm #3 When its master was about to get killed by Optimus Prime, the Driller made it to Philadelphia and saved him. Ironhide recognized the creature and told Prime that if the Driller is what he thought it was, then they were in a big trouble. Rising Storm #4
