That ripple in your glass of water isn't a [[Grimlock (G1)|''Tyrannosaurus rex'']], it's a '''Destroyer,''' the largest and most powerful soldier unit in either faction's army. Standing somewhere between [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] in terms of mass, Destroyers usually start out in their gigantic tank modes, and transform into robot mode after their weakness—their rear-mounted fuel cells—are exploited. In Robot mode, they will activate an EMP pulse to soften you and then melt you with a continuous laser beam. As they take damage, portions of their armor will fall off. Robot-mode Destroyers have no particular weakness: just blast away and pray!

During the fall of Iacon, a lone Autobot Destroyer was the final line of defense between the Decepticons and the Iacon vaults where [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]] had taken refuge. Despite intimidating the Decepticons with his sheer size and massive firepower, under [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s leadership he was overcome.  


Another Destroyer battled against the Decepticons during [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]'s counterattack, backed up by a squad of Autobots and several auto-repair turrets. At least one other Destroyer was present during the height of the battle, fighting against Decepticons under [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s command. Megatron led a small team and defeated yet another Destroyer in the towers above Iacon, taking control of the turrets there and using them to down Omega.
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 (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] as he sought to rescue Omega Supreme in a later campaign, and during the [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbot]]s' raid on [[Trypticon Station]].


Megatron was apparently impressed by these behemoths, as [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] and [[Warpath (Prime)|Warpath]] faced one during their rescue of Omega Supreme. They weakened it, and Omega proceeded to tear the unlucky Decepticon clean in half. Two more Destroyers attempted to halt Optimus' journey to Cybertron's core: one falling to his death after the bridge he was standing on was shot to pieces and the other receiving a massive headache when the Autobots dropped a stalactite on him while he was attempting to attack a space slug.

Two more Destroyers were stationed on Trypticon Station and fought against the crack Aerialbot team that broke in to disable the station. Despite being backed up by Decepticon forces (including several Seekers) and trying to cover each other to offset their weaknesses, the Aerialbot commando team defeated them both.

Destroyers are a body-type in the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Hi. I'm here to make you reconsider your difficulty setting.

That ripple in your glass of water isn't a Tyrannosaurus rex, it's a Destroyer, the largest and most powerful soldier unit in either faction's army. Standing somewhere between Megatron and Omega Supreme in terms of mass, Destroyers usually start out in their gigantic tank modes, raining 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 EMP 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!

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.
