The '''Chrome Crusher''', also known as the '''Giant Drilling Vehicle''', is the most expensive and powerful [[Large Vehicle]] in the game, and is one of two ''Giant Drilling Vehicles'' (the other being the [[Granite Grinder]], though the phrase was once used to refer specifically to it). Although the Chrome Crusher only moves at 0.3 squares/sec by default, it is an ''extremely'' powerful drilling machine. It takes 0.4 seconds to drill [[Dirt]], 0.8 seconds to drill [[Loose Rock]], and only one second to drill [[Hard Rock]] and [[Seams]]. Along with a [[Large Drill]], the Chrome Crusher is also equipped with a very powerful [[Mining Lasers|Mining Laser]] that can be used by double-selecting the vehicle.  An [[Energy Crystal]] will be drained for every two shots fired with the Laser. The Laser has much greater effectiveness to the [[Mining Laser]] [[Building]] (even without the drill upgrade). Also, like all Laser-equiped units, it can be quite useful as a weapon against [[Monster]]s.  It can mine [[Dirt]] in 6 shots, [[Loose Rock]] in 13 shots, [[Hard Rock]] in around 18 shots, and [[Seams]] in around 30 shots.

The Chrome Crusher, also known as the Giant Drilling Vehicle, is the most powerful mining vehicle in the Rock Raiders fleet. It is a massive, four-wheeled vehicle equipped with nearly every vehicle-mounted tool. It has a massive drill on one side of its cockpit, and a radar on the other side, both with pipes connecting to them. On the back is a huge cargo hold, and mounted above that is a mining laser. Inside the cockpit are two seats for the vehicle's operators, though it's usually depicted with only one driver. The Chrome Crusher has become an icon of the Rock Raiders theme and features prominently in nearly every piece of media.

In the PC game

In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Small Digger is classified as a large vehicle, and requires five Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Chrome Crusher.

The Chrome Crusher as portrayed in the PC game

The Chrome Crusher moves at a sluggish 0.3 blocks per second, but makes up for it by being an extremely powerful drilling machine. It takes 0.4 seconds to drill Dirt, 0.8 seconds to drill Loose Rock, and only one second to drill Hard Rock and Seams.

Along with a Large Drill, the Chrome Crusher is also equipped with a very powerful Mining Laser that can be used by double-selecting the vehicle.  An Energy Crystal will be drained for every two shots fired with the Laser.  The Laser has much greater effectiveness to the Mining Laser Building (even without the drill upgrade). Also, like all Laser-equiped units, it can be quite useful as a weapon against Monsters.  It can mine Dirt in 6 shots, Loose Rock in 13 shots, Hard Rock in around 18 shots, and Seams in around 30 shots.

Despite possessing a radar and cargo hold, neither of these are functional in-game.
