Shockwave emerges from the Driller

The Driller, ridden by Shockwave, attacks NEST at Chernobyl and steals the Ark's engine fuel cell from them before heading to the surface where it tears through the building and engages Optimus Prime. Optimus manages to cut off a head of the tentacle carrying the part and Shockwave briefly emerges from the inside to glare at Optimus before he and the Driller leave without any further battle.

Notes[]

  • The Driller apparently serves Shockwave as both a mount and an attack beast.
  • The Driller is a case of re-engineered Cybertronic wildlife. According to Ratchet in the comic adaptation of Dark of the Moon, the Driller is the most feared and terrible beast on all of Cybertron.
  • The Driller's working name is Colossus, which is still used in media coverage.[1]
