Destronium is an essential substance for building Transformer bodies, especially those of Decepticons. The genuine material's properties are unknown save that it allows the creation of substances sturdier than normal Earthly ones for building servos and such. However, its Earth-made synthetic equivalent is incredibly unstable. Moving it at high speed makes it incredibly volatile, risking detonation within a matter of minutes. It is not jaAm.
Destronium; yet another Perfectly Safe Product℠ of Sumdac Systems™.
Fiction
Animated cartoon
While experimenting with robotic parts, Megatron said to Professor Sumdac that in order to build his new body he needed Destronium-based circuitry. Sumdac regretfully informed Megatron that Destronium doesn't come in such vast quantities on Earth as it must wherever Megatron comes from, but he'd been able to synthesize a small amount. However, by the time that sample was shipped to his lab from across town it would be either useless or highly explosive. The only way to avoid that problem would be transporting it in under 10 minutes. Megatron then hatched a scheme to use Prof. Sumdac's experimental turbo-suit to transport the Destronium within the required time limit.
This, of course, worked out as well as you wouldn't've thought. Nanosec
Renegade Rhetoric
Nightracer and Crash Test were able to steal a supply of Destronium from Sumdac Systems. Using it, they upgraded their existing Spy Changer technology to become a second generation of Go-Bots. Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/05 and 2016/05/12
Games
Fall of Cybertron
The "Gambler" modification for Path Blasters loaded a single synthetic Destronium round randomly into each magazine providing a big albeit unpredictable boost of firepower. Fall of Cybertron
Notes
- Destronium is derived from "Destron", the Japanese name for the Decepticons. Considering that the Japanese name for the Autobots is Cybertron, it may even be a counterpart of sorts to Cybertonium, a slightly differently spelled substance from the Generation 1 cartoon which was critical for the proper functioning of Transformer bodies.
