Drilltron was an impact drill-themed Robotron in Power Rangers Beast Morphers who appeared as the main antagonist in the episode, "Thrills and Drills".
History
The drill infected by Roxy to create him.
Drilltron is created when Roxy infects a dark blue drill she stole from an engineer's pocket while he was working on a lamp post. She installs one of Scrozzle's new Data Chips on Drilltron to collect data on the core Grid Battleforce Rangers Beast Powers. His actual mission however is to use his drill-based abilities to force his way into a Morph-X Tower and steal all the Morph-X inside it for Evox. After battling the Rangers in the park, Drilltron and Roxy head underground whilst also filling the tunnel behind them with boulders to prevent the Rangers from following them. Ravi, Nate, and Steel eventually locate Roxy and Drilltron in the storm drain system where they are planning to drill into the base of the Morph X tower. They then battle Roxy and Drilltron, forcing them to the surface whilst Devon and Zoey combat Drilldrone. Ravi eventually finds himself fighting Drilltron one-on-one outside of the Morph-X Tower itself. He uses his gorilla strength against Drilltron, knocking the Robotron down but unknowingly allowing the data chip to collect the necessary Beast Power data. Soon after, Ravi obliterates Drilltron with his Beast-X Blaster's Beast-X Blast although Roxy already retrieved the Data Chip.
Legacy
Drilltron's data had already been used to create Drilldrone whose surprise attack prompted Nate to create the Gigadrone Detectors.
Personality
Drilltron was very excited in battle and proved to be very energetic and spoke mostly in drill puns.

Notes
- Drilltron was the first Robotron to have a Data Chip attached to him seeing as his episode was the first of the associated saga.
- Unlike his Sentai counterpart, Drilltron's drill arm was not pinned to the ground with two Beast-X Sabers before Ravi destroys him with the Beast-X Blaster. This was removed due to its very violent nature.
- However, in the shot of his destruction, the two Beast-X Sabers can still be seen stuck in his arm and he is kneeling down gripping his right arm in pain for no apparent reason.
