Drill.GMO (Level 10 GMO)
Rather than being a product of immediate necessity like most of Magna's GMOs, Mill made this one as more a secondary option to the metal golem's colossal Plow form. While the aforementioned GMO's size gives Magna even more of a raw strength advantage than normal, it leaves his mobility largely lacking. As such, the alternative Drill.GMO takes a different approach on tackling the snow: when going over fails, go under. Magna's natural shape already lends itself well to the heavy industrial design, so it wasn't a very jarring transition to just swap out his base for an equivalently-scaled drill. Obviously, putting all of Magna's massive weight on the single point of a drill doesn't do his balance a whole lot of good, so much so that he doesn't really even have a means of forward motion across the surface. He can't even stand up straight without digging down a little to anchor himself. However, for all his lack of motion above ground, it is all made up underneath, as the power of Magna's drill can send him tearing through snow, dirt, sand and whatever else of similar make faster than most things can run. It's a bit of a mystery how Magna can re-emerge from the ground upright when his drill is always pointed away from him, but Mill hasn't looked too deep into it. It's just Magna being more adaptive than Magna was supposed to be.
