Destroyer (WFC)
- Destroyers are a body-type in the War for Cybertron portion of the Transformers: Prime continuity family.
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, and transform into robot mode after their weakness—an exposed rear vent—is 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!
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.
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.
