The concept is simple, really. A tracked vehicle with one or more great big drills bolted onto the front. What it is varies. Theoretically, this may be intended as a mining and/or tunneling vehicle, and indeed, many of them do use them to tunnel beneath the earth. Others use them to break through walls and other barriers. Quite a few of them are used directly against enemies. There is an occasional variant in the form of a Drill Jet, which is exactly what it sounds like. Given the status of drills in the Super Robot Genre, any Combining Super Robot has a good chance of having one of these as a component. Sub-Trope of Tank Goodness. Often involves Fast Tunnelling. Connected to This Is a Drill. |

Discussed at least as early as 1941 in the militaristic short story Mirai no Chika Sensha-ch� ("The Future Underground Tank Commander"), in which a sixteen-year-old boy realizes his ludicrous dream of designing an underground tank after learning about basic engineering, mineralogy, physics and budget principles. After an early cutter head-equipped sketch and an unsuccessful cigar-like prototype, the final result is a contraption with three drills riddled with conveyor belts,note While the final design supposedly solves problems such as torque loss, vehicle movement, or soil displacement, it still omits some glaring design problems, like the lack of reinforced structures keeping the tunnel from collapse, the massive heat generation which would be kept underground, or how slow such a vehicle would likely be... Ironically, it is also the least plausible design of the three, since the first and second designs have a slight resemblance to a tunnel-boring machine. which is conveniently dispatched just before a foreign invasion. | |

Space Sheriff Shaider had Battle Shaian, which was the bottom part of the Shaian tank, the upper part split into a Cool Ship; he calls for it from his bigger Cool Ship when he needs to break into a fortified / underground enemy base. Upon making a breach, he fires a couple of missiles before disembarking and assaulting on foot. This cop doesn't believe in flashbangs. In VR Troopers, they get one of these in the second season (when the Shaider footage began usage). Strangely, it seems every Evil Plan ever suddenly requires something to be made in one of these underground facilities before the facility is destroyed in precisely the same fashion as last week's. |

A massive mobile drill created in 1860s Seattle to drill through the ice for the Russian government, its inventor instead uses his creation to loot several underground bank vaults, creating massive subsidence and accidentally releasing an underground gas that turns people into zombies. | |

It's actually a space battleship (albeit with a land mode), but the Kurogane from Super Robot Wars can serve this purpose. SRW also has the G-Bison component of the Grungust Type-3. The Gustlander mode of the Grungust Type-1 Doesn't actually have a drill, but invokes this trope nonetheless with its Spiral Attack, which is usually portrayed as a drill-shaped energy field in front of the tank. |

In Transformers: Energon, one of Optimus Prime's mini-vehicles is a drill-tank. Oddly enough, when Prime combined with them for his Super Mode, the drill would be used as a leg, rather than an arm. A few episodes into the series, the animators realized this, and the drill switched to an arm from then on. Drill-tanks are also the vehicle modes of several Transformers, including Galvatron from Beast Wars II, and Menasor from Transformers: Cybertron. |

The first five Metal Heroes had these in some form. Space Sheriff Gavan had Scoopers, a bifurcated drill tank. Space Sheriff Sharivan had Mogriran, a single drill tank. Space Sheriff Shaider had Battle Shaian, which was the bottom part of the Shaian tank, the upper part split into a Cool Ship; he calls for it from his bigger Cool Ship when he needs to break into a fortified / underground enemy base. Upon making a breach, he fires a couple of missiles before disembarking and assaulting on foot. This cop doesn't believe in flashbangs. In VR Troopers, they get one of these in the second season (when the Shaider footage began usage). Strangely, it seems every Evil Plan ever suddenly requires something to be made in one of these underground facilities before the facility is destroyed in precisely the same fashion as last week's. Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion had Garbin Tank; the part in the middle split into a Cool Ship too. Jikuu Senshi Spielban had Drill Gaios, which was the Gaios tank with a drill turbine exposed in the center; the cabin could transform into a Cool Ship and Shout-Out to the X-Wing. (This was also used in VR Troopers, but as an assault tank and fighter jet mainly; the drill portion was only used a couple of times.) Tokusou Robo Janperson has the Drill Jaycar, one of the variable cockpits of the Dark Jaycar which can be indepentdently used as a small drill pod. |

A Brave Series tradition, since all have at least some sort of drill tank. Most of them (save Kaiser 2 and Drill Gao) can transform into a robot: Brave Exkaiser: Drill Max, which can merge into God Max's legs. The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird: Drill Baron, which can merge into the Thunder Jet's nose, and Thunder Baron's left arm. The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn: Drill Lander, which can merge into Land Bison's arms. The Brave Express Might Gaine has two: The Kaiser 2, which can merge into Might Kaiser's arm and Great Might Gaine's forearm; and Drill Diver, which can merge into Guard Diver's right leg / part of Guard Diver's train form. Brave Police J-Decker: Soccer Detective Drill Boy, which transforms into a drill tank and a drill jet, and serves as the extra parts to transform Build Tiger into Super Build Tiger. The Brave of Gold Goldran: Drill Silver, which can merge Silverion / God Silverion's legs. Brave Command Dagwon: Dag Drill, which can change into a Class C62 train, a drill train, and serves as the extra parts to transform Liner Dagwon into Super Liner Dagwon. GaoGaiGar: Drill Gao / Drill Gao II, which can merge into GaoGaiGar / GaoFighGar's legs. The Genesic GaoGaiGar upgrade from GaoGaiGar FINAL reimagines them as robotic moles. |

Midori's King Moguras (pictured above) was released mere months after the Thunderbirds Mole model kitnote Best known as the Jet Mole in Japan, and both of them were among the best-selling toys in Japan during the late sixties. The King Moguras was popular enough to be the first one in a short-lived model kit series, featuring the pocket-sized Baby Moguras, the aircraft-carrying Big Moguras, the drill and saw-equipped Junior Moguras, and the UFO-carrying remote-controlled Ultra Moguras. | |

Godzilla: The Gotengo/Atragon from Atragon is a submarine/battleship/aircraft/rocket which can also travel underground with its drill, fitting this trope. Noticeably, the ship from the original novel was "merely" a submarine-battleship hybrid with a spinning ram, so the Gotengo's association with tunnelling in further appearances originates from this movie. The robot mole Moguera from The Mysterians is an humanoid-shaped drill tank. It's more obvious in early materials, since its caterpillar tread-like torso had originally visible wheels on its sides◊ and it was seemingly designed to roll according to an unused prop◊. In Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, the redesigned MOGUERA's upper half transforms into Land Moguera, which uses MOGUERA's drill nose and laser-firing arms to burrow. |

The Drill Driver of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, and its Super Sentai counterpart GoGo Drill. Far from the first, and probably far from the last. Black Mask's mech, Masky Drill, of Hikari Sentai Maskman. GoZyu Drill from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the default form of GokaiSilver's personal mecha GoZyuJin. Technically speaking, it's actually a Drill Jet,note Since it represents the true power of the Mirai Sentai Timeranger, it's based off of their own Time Jets but in practice it hovers low to the ground and generally acts like a Drill Tank (presumably because having it fly in every battle would make production costs skyrocket). Kiramai Silver's personal mecha, Mashin Drijan, in Mashin Sentai Kiramager. |

Deep Rock Galactic features an Escort Mission where you are tasked with defending one of these (referred to as the Drilldozer by management, and Doretta by the miners) from hordes of alien bugs as it drills a tunnel through various cave systems towards a valuable crystal known as an Ommoran Heartstone that's buried deep in the planet. The drill stops and needs to be refueled from oil deposits periodically, and the end of the mission has it drilling into the Heartstone's outer shell to extract it, while the players must protect it from the attacks that the Heartsone summons to fight back. The tank itself is unfortunately unarmed, but that's what the dwarves are for. | |

Termites in Warhammer 40,000. A Diorama of the Siege of the Emperor's Palace also shows the traitors using a large Drill Tank to breach one of the palace walls. There's also the Hades Breach Drill, which is smaller than the Termite but has a similar purpose (drilling underneath, or through, enemy fortifications). Amusingly, nothing stops you from using a Hades while playing on a map that is supposed to be a space ship. Also, some warships are equipped with giant drills for use in boarding operations. They ram an enemy ship and drill into its side, allowing them to deposit troops directly inside. Seen in Space Wolf: Grey Hunter. |

In Sundered, abandoned drill tanks can be found in the Cathedral region, having been left behind by the Valkyries when they invaded the place, and the tunnels they dug serve as passageways between the region’s various caves. | |

Transformers (2019): Nosecone of the Technobots actually uses his drill as a weapon, fairly unusual for the franchise. When his teammate Afterburner was attacked by Bludgeon, Nosecone suddenly came up through the ground and impaled the rogue bot with his drill. | |

One of these is used in the South Park episode "Die, Hippie, Die" to plow though a large crowd of hippies (it's called "the Hippie Digger" — blame Eric Cartman for that) in a parody of the plot of The Core. | |

The Gotengo/Atragon from Atragon is a submarine/battleship/aircraft/rocket which can also travel underground with its drill, fitting this trope. Noticeably, the ship from the original novel was "merely" a submarine-battleship hybrid with a spinning ram, so the Gotengo's association with tunnelling in further appearances originates from this movie. | |

The G-Driller in Gravion is a double-drill tank that forms the titular robot's forearms. They even come with a pair of turrets/Arm Cannons for extra firepower. As Gravion is capable of using a Rocket Punch, they soon figured out to combine the two. | |

Late in Dead Space 2, Isaac and Ellie hijack a giant tunnel boring machine to punch their way into the Sprawl's government sector from below after all the other ways in are deemed a no-go. You even get to gib a flood of necromorphs on the spinning blades during the ride on top through the clever use of knockback effects, but you can also end up instagibbing Isaac instead if you're not careful about your movements. | |

Transformers: Amongst the G1 Transformers, one of the Technobots was one of these, named Nosecone. Drillhorn of the Breastforce (seriously) fits the 'unimaginative name' bill. There's also Twin Twist, who transforms into a double drill tank, and much much later, a minicon named Drill Bit would be made... though his giant drill is in back. Also, Drill Dasher. Galvatron from Beast Wars II turns into a drill tank. In the Power Core Combiners line, one Mini-Con turns into a drill, used as the weapon for both robot and vehicle mode of its partner! The Combiner Wars versions of Nosecone and Drillhorn, being retools of Brawl, can use their drills as hand-held weapons. The Unite Warriors version of Nosecone has one that actually rotates, courtesy of being a retool of Rook instead. Titans Return Nightbeat turns into a drill tank that can be held by a larger figure as a weapon. |
