The Bulk Drill Machine was a Battle Machine built for Dunkan Bulk for use in the subterranean tunnels below Antropolis City.

History

After fending off the Jumper Beasts in Antropolis City, the remaining Heroes of the Alpha 1 Team ventured underground to rescue their kidnapped teammates. The Heroes realized they needed to build Battle Machines more suited to the terrain below ground, so Daniel Rocka told Nathan Evo to help him set up the Remote Builder to build such machines. Evo used the Remote Builder to construct five machines: the Bulk Drill Machine, Rocka Crawler, Breez Flea Machine, Evo Spider Machine, and Surge & Rocka Combat Machine. Bulk took command of the Drill Machine, and the Heroes ventured further down into the Jumper lair. During the journey, Bulk used the Drill Machine's drill to cut a hexagon-shaped pillar to move it out of the Heroes way, making it fall into the lair's abyss. After Bulk cut another pillar, this caused another nearby pillar to fall onto the Heroes, but Bulk used the machine to destroy it, reducing it to tiny pebbles, and then the Heroes continued their journey. When the Heroes found a wall that blocked their wall, Bulk used the machine to try to drill through the wall, but when he broke through, the Heroes encountered a magnetic field that separated them into two groups, Surge with Rocka, and Breez, Bulk, and Evo together. After the magnetic field took Surge and Rocka, the other three Heroes fell to an abyss that leads to a crystal cavern. Breez used the Flea Machine's grapple hook to grab onto a ledge, and saved Evo, though Evo could not save Bulk. Bulk was forced to eject himself from the Drill Machine to save himself, and the machine fell to the cavern's pool of acid, destroying it.

Features

The Bulk Drill Machine was a quadrupedal machine, and it was made for traveling underground. It was equipped with a large drill on a platform on the top. The drill could drill through rock. The Battle Machine also featured a bulletproof visor and an ejectable cockpit. Behind the drill was a large laser gun, and the drill could flip around in order for the laser gun to be used. The drill also had a missile launcher on each side, and each of the missile launchers had two slots for its missiles. The platform could be used to replace the Surge & Rocka Combat Machine's mini-jet half, so the other half of the Combat Machine could use the drill.

Set Information

Set 44025 BULK Drill Machine, which is medium-sized, was released as part of the second half of the Invasion From Below wave. It consists of 113 pieces. The Bulk Drill Machine includes a platform on the top that has a drill. The drill can flip around to reveal a laser gun on its back. On each side of the drill is a flick missile launcher with two flick missiles. The drill can be raised up or lowered down. The platform can also be detached from the Drill Machine to replace set 44028 SURGE & ROCKA Combat Machine's mini-jet half, allowing the other half of the Combat Machine to use the drill. Parts from the Bulk Drill Machine can be combined with parts from the Rocka Crawler from set 44023 ROCKA Crawler and Breez Flea Machine from set 44027 BREEZ Flea Machine to create a new non-canon combination model using building instructions from HeroFactory.com.
