"It's the end of the track, Skylander!
This drill-bot is on the scene!
I'll knock you forward and back
with a robo attack
'cause you're messing with the wrong machine!"

—Drill-X

Drill-X is a large, drilling machine in Skylanders: Giants. He is Kaos's drill machine assigned to drill his way to the Lost City of Arkus. He appeared in the level, Drill-X's Big Rig, where he had enslaved some of the Molekin to work in his oil rig. Drill-X is also notable for singing, mostly in tune with his home level's music which intensifies as you beat him in each round.

Story

Drill-X was assigned by Kaos to drill his way to the Lost City of Arkus that would allow the evil Portal Master access to the lost city. When the Skylanders heard about the drilling oil rig where Kaos was heading, they reached it before he did and confronted Drill-X. After a grueling - and musical- battle, Drill-X was defeated.

Song

First Verse

It's the end of the track, Skylander!
This drill-bot is on the scene!
I'll knock you forward and back
with a robo attack
'cause you're messing with the wrong machine!

Second Verse

You don't stand a chance, Skylander!
Even though you won that round...
'Cause the power won't drop
And my drillin' won't stop
'til the City of Arkus is found!

Third Verse

Hold on, time out, Skylander!
There's something up with my drill.
But you better watch out,
You'll be down for the count
When I show you my smashing skills!

Fourth Verse

What did you do, Skylander?!
You've just won the final round!
I can't keep the beat
And I'm feeling defeat,
And my systems are all shutting down...

Trivia

• The reason Drill-X sings is because he needs to express himself. Who he is, where he came, etc. Most people don't know what it's like to be a giant drill and Drill-X wants us to understand his plight.^[2]
• Drill-X's name, and his dubstep, is most likely based off of Skrillex.
• Drill-X appears to actually be stolen property, as Kaos said he'd have his minions steal a drilling machine. Because of this, it is possible that Drill-X wasn't originally evil. However, he appears to want to work for Kaos, so it is possible he got reprogrammed or was always evil. His habit of singing may have also possibly been a result of the reprogramming.
• Even though Kaos tells Drill-X to give up all the treasure he finds, Drill-X still stashes some of it.
• Drill-X has a massive metal chord connecting him to the rig. It's unknown if this serves as a chain to confine him, some sort of power source or life support, or a way of communicating with the rig. It might also be possible that the rig is a massive extension of Drill-X's body.
• Drill-X shares similarities to the Great Mighty Poo, a boss from Conker's Bad Fur Day, in that they sing during their battles.
