1 | '''Basic Trope''': A vehicle with a drill on the front. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob breaks into the enemy base by drilling through with his drill tank. |
3 | * '''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. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob's "drill tank" is a tank with a drill installed in the front--doesn't really allows for going underground, but it leaves a pretty neat hole on the walls of bunkers, so it sees some use as a siege weapon. |
5 | * '''Justified''': The drill tank was originally a tool used by a mining company. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** Bob's vehicle fills empty space behind itself with rock to slow the pursuers. |
8 | ** Bob has a big drill which also doubles as a vehicle, and is used almost solely for the latter purpose. |
9 | * '''Subverted''': Bob rides in on a drill tank, but the apparent "drill" is a cone-shaped, laser beam generator. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...which also doubles as an actual drill. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': |
12 | ** Bob duct-tapes an ordinary hand drill to his bicycle and insists everyone call it "THE DRILL JUGGERNAUT!" |
13 | ** The drill tank is parked right between the chainsaw tank and the screwdriver tank. The wrench tank is in the shop for repairs. |
14 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
15 | * '''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. |
16 | * '''Enforced''': "Blowing up the enemy base with explosives would be so boring. I want my characters to use an awesome drill tank!" |
17 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Wow, a drill tank. I've heard they're becoming fashionable." |
18 | * '''Invoked''': The AppliedPhlebotinum of the setting is so resistant that it requires diamond-tipped tools to punch through, which means that standard bunker-busting explosive weapons are hard to use against enemy headquarters. Time for unusual methods. |
19 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |
20 | * '''Defied''': The enemy base is specifically protected against giant drills of all kinds. |
21 | * '''Discussed''': "If only we had a drill tank!" |
22 | * '''Conversed''': "Hey, come watch the movie! It's the part with the awesome giant frickin drill, you don't want to miss it!" |
23 | * '''Deconstructed''': Bob gets brain damage because he's sitting in a vehicle attached to a huge, noisy, spinning drill. |
24 | * '''Reconstructed''': Bob installs special dampeners to prevent harm to the driver. |
