"Instruments of Destruction" is a metal song by the band N.R.G., featured in the album The Transformers: The Movie - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
The song plays in The Transformers: The Movie during one of the first scenes which sets the tone for the remainder of the movie; the scene where the Decepticons brutally massacre the crew of an Autobot shuttle.
Album releases
- 1986 — The Transformers: The Movie — Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Scotti Bros. Records)
- 2001 — N.R.G.: Transformed (Independent release) — New recording, plus the original "Unreleased Unedited" and instrumental versions.

Notes
- The band considers the "Instruments of Destruction" era to be one of their most fulfilling, and are very proud to have it featured in Transformers. [1]
- There exist two versions of this song, the "unreleased unedited" one mentioned above and the "censored" version used in the movie. Differences in the lyrics are as follows:
- The original version of the very first line is "Iron birds of foreplay". In the censored version, that is toned down to "Iron birds of fortune".
- "Flying tools of torture" becomes "Flying tools of torment".
- A repeated change occurs in the chorus, where "It's a violent seduction" is replaced by "It's a violent eruption".
- In War for Cybertron when Megatron picks up an Ion Displacer, he says "Now this is a true instrument of destruction!" Whether this is a reference to the song or not is unknown, but considering High Moon Studios, it's likely.
