'''Basic Trope''': A vehicle with a drill on the front. 
* '''Straight''': Bob breaks into the enemy base by drilling through with his drill tank. 
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob's drill tank is literally a huge drill on wheels, and has no room for a driver, so it has to be controlled remotely. 
* '''Justified''': The drill tank was originally a tool used by a mining company. 
* '''Inverted''': Bob's vehicle fills empty space behind itself with rock to slow the pursuers. 
** Bob has a big drill which also doubles as a vehicle, and is used almost solely for the latter purpose. 
* '''Subverted''': Bob rides in on a drill tank, but the apparent "drill" is a laser beam generator. 
* '''Double Subverted''': ...which also doubles as an actual drill. 
* '''Parodied''': Bob duct-tapes an ordinary hand drill to his bicycle and insists everyone call it "THE DRILL JUGGERNAUT!"
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob gets brain damage because he's sitting in a vehicle attached to a huge, noisy, spinning drill. 
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob installs sepcial dampeners to prevent harm to the driver. 
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Bob decides that he needs to re-fit his ordinary tank to somehow get through the thick rocky walls of the enemy base. He eventually settles on a tank that fires frickin' huge missiles. 
* '''Enforced''': "Blowing up the enemy base with explosives would be so boring. I want my characters to use an awesome drill tank!"
* '''Lampshaded''': "Wow, a drill tank. I've heard they're becoming fashionable."
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Defied''': The enemy base is specifically protected against giant drills of all kinds. 
* '''Discussed''': "If only we had a drill tank!"
* '''Conversed''': "Hey, come watch the movie! It's the part with the awesome giant frickin drill, you don't want to miss it!"
