	An '''electro-disrupter''' (also '''electro-disruptor''') is a fairly uncommon [[Transformer]] device that can be used for a variety of effects. Most commonly, it sends out disruptive signals to make the Transformer equipped with the electro-disrupter appear someplace other than they are, possibly multiple locations. Furthermore, it can cause illusions to appear around the user's body, seemingly altering their physical appearance for a limited time, or even enabling the user to fade into the background, effectively turning invisible.
