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!

Transformers: War for Cybertron
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)'s leadership he was overcome.
Another Destroyer battled against the Decepticons during Omega Supreme (Prime)'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)'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.
Megatron was apparently impressed by these behemoths, as Optimus Prime (Prime), Ironhide (Prime) and Warpath (Prime) 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 short to pieces and the other receiving a massive headache when the Autobots dropped a stalagmite 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 (includng several Seekers) and trying to cover each other to offset their weaknesses, the Aerialbot commando team defeated them both.
