DESTROYER:
Episode appearances: 3
(06) 41. Cy-Kills Escape, (10) 45. Return to Gobotron & (21) 29. Renegade Rampage.
Bio:
Destroyer is a Renegade under Cy-Kill's command in his few appearances we don't find out much about him.
He was a prisoner on the Gobot Prison Moon during the prison break Destroyer took command of both Coptur and Crasher in the prison breakout without even so much as crossed word from either of the other two Renegades. He obtained the weapons packs that granted all the escaped prisoners their weapons and other abilities.
Next we see that Destroyer has somehow obtained a Thruster and is already on earth waiting for what we never find out because Scooter and Smallfoot detect his Thruster in their power suit. He steps out to investigate whom or what has decloaked his Thruster and un afraid by what both Guardians are wearing he then Challenges them but before he's allowed to open fire Scooter uses his power suit telekinetic powers to bring down the mountain Destroyers Thruster is next too, he fall crushing him and putting him out of action. Destroyer would then make one more appearance where he is a part of the assault on Tri-Ceti. Now how he got there could've been by astral beam but why he's there is anyone’s guess maybe Cykill wanted some extra muscle with all the Zod drones , Coptur and Crasher but watching the episode the viewer would get the impression that Destroyer got destroyed when Tri-Ceti blew up. Or the astral beam could've saved him in time!?!?
Power Abilities:
Destroyer has the ability to convert between three different forms Robot, Tank & Battle platform. He is able fire from his turret in all three modes (not seen on screen but it would make sense). As a warrior with a high rank in the Renegade cause it would be best assumed also that he has the standard flight and fist blasters.
Character speculations and possibilities:
Destroyer is an interesting Gobot character as he is one of a very few that can boss around both Coptur and Crasher without so much of a crossed word being uttered as both characters took orders and instructions as though he had some higher importance to him. This has led me to think that he is either a high ranking general or just a very powerful advisory NOT to be messed with.
He was stationed far in advanced of any other renegades on earth during the 'saga of gobotron' again we don't know but why would Cykill send out a lone Renegade if he wasn't able to defend himself on his own but ultimately the power suits were more than match for this highly under used and in my opinion very potential character.

Great post,Destroyer is another often neglected character.He doesn't even speak in Renegade Rampage but his mere presence is pretty threatening and he's not human looking at all much like Zeemon,Staks,or Bugbite. The gun sticking out from his face is perhaps more ominous than Megatron of Transformers actually becoming a gun.
Well he is the last bot you'd would say 'look at me when i'm talking to you.
Just watched back the episode as i'm missing one picture that i want for him and he does have just one line 'Yes, Cy-Kill' as he converts and drives to join the other Renegades.
