Overview[]

History[]
Whilst Roxy and Drilltron attack a Morph-X Tower from underground, she tells Scrozzle to send a Gigadrone to the South Port tower to distract the Grid Battleforce Rangers so that she can succeed. Scrozzle complies and creates Drilldrone from an Alpha Model and sends it underground to surprise the Power Rangers. Nate, Ravi, and Steel overhear this and inform Commander Shaw about the impending attack. Devon and Zoey take the Racer and Chopper Zords to the South Port tower to intercept the Gigadrone. However, Drilldrone being underground surprises the Rangers which allows it to repeatedly blast their Zords from below but they lack the firepower to attack it back. Knowing that only the Beast-X Megazord has the capability to penetrate the street, the Zords endure the energy blasts until Ravi destroys Drilltron and arrives in the Wheeler Zord. Forming the Beast-X Megazord, they use the Energy Shield to block the lasers and use the Megazord's forcefield restraints to penetrate the street and render Drilldrone immobile. With Drilldrone helpless, Devon summons the Cheetah Beast Blaster and they destroy Drilldrone with the Beast-X Hyper Strike. Instead of exploding like any other Gigadrone, Drilldrone is instead seemingly sucked into a portal and out of existence.
Legacy[]
As a result of Drilldrone's surprise attack, Nate creates the Gigadrone Detectors to alert them to incoming Gigadrone attacks to prevent this from happening again.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Energy Lasers: Drilldrone could fire small, but very strong orange colored energy lasers in rapid succession. Where it fires them from is unknown since it spent most of its time underground.
- Energy Blasts: Drilldrone could also fire energy blasts in rapid succession, but where it fires them is unknown since it mostly remained underground.
Abilities[]
- Burrowing: Drilldrone could burrow deep under the city streets similar to Drilltron. It could burrow deep enough that the Racer Zord's sword can't reach it. Only the Beast-X Megazord's Hyper Strike could reach it.
- Super Speed: Drilldrone was extremely fast while burrowing, zooming around under the streets.
