Destroyers can be encountered in thankfully only a few places in War For Cybertron. The first Autobot Destroyer arrives as the last line of defense of Zeta Prime's vault after the successful Decepticon aerial bombing of that facility. Four other Autobot Destroyers are seen in the game, One being deployed by Omega Supreme to stall Megatron's escape, one in tank mode seen on a bridge supporting the Autobot counterrattack on Starscream's troops during the battle with Omega Supreme, And one is seen drifting with style through debris-strewn Iacon Speedway during Optimus's regrouping of Iacon's defense force and another (or possibly the same) on the lift Ironhide is riding in the Autobot's second command base during the battle.
Standing somewhere between [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] in terms of mass, Destroyers usually start out in their gigantic tank modes, raining rapid cannon fire down on their foes. In this mode, their weakness comes from a rear-mounted fuel cell that must be properly targeted.


Decepticon Destroyers appear as members of the Decepticon troops left by Megatron to guard the core, most notably dismembering a poor Space Slug. Another Destroyer features as a commander or sub-commander of the Decepticon-controlled space station, futile barking orders as the facility falls to pieces before he is destroyed by the Aerialbots. The final Destroyers in WFC are a pair of Decepticon warriors who are the last line of Trypticon's defense.  
After the fuel cell is destroyed, the battle hardly improves as the Destroyers convert into a towering robot mode. In this state, they will activate an EM Pulse to soften you and then melt you with a continuous laser beam. Robot-mode Destroyers have no particular weakness: as they take damage, portions of their armor will fall off, reducing their mass over time and sustained firepower. Just blast away and pray that you'll survive!

Standing somewhere between Megatron and Omega Supreme in terms of mass, Destroyers usually start out in their gigantic tank modes, raining rapid cannon fire down on their foes. In this mode, their weakness comes from a rear-mounted fuel cell that must be properly targeted.

After the fuel cell is destroyed, the battle hardly improves as the Destroyers convert into a towering robot mode. In this state, they will activate an EM Pulse to soften you and then melt you with a continuous laser beam. Robot-mode Destroyers have no particular weakness: as they take damage, portions of their armor will fall off, reducing their mass over time and sustained firepower. Just blast away and pray that you'll survive!

Destroyers appear in both factional campaigns, luckily in small numbers. Several confronted Megatron and the Decepticons in their search for the Omega Key, and after Omega Supreme became operational. Megatron later co-opted the Destroyer body-type for his own troops, as a few Decepticon Destroyers opposed Optimus Prime as he sought to rescue Omega Supreme in a later campaign, and during the Aerialbots' raid on Trypticon Station.

  • In Escalation mode, Destroyers are called Tanks. They begin to appear on most maps regularly at Wave 15, though the "Pulse" map features about three within the first few waves alone!
  • When using their rapid-fire Nucleon Shock Cannon attack Destroyers seem to retract their heads half way.
