Emperor of Destruction


 * Emperor of Destruction is a rank used in all Japanese continuities.

The term "Emperor of Destruction" (破壊大帝 Hakai Taitei) refers to the highest-ranking member of the Decepticon, Predacon or Vehicon military. The Emperor of Destruction is the Supreme Commander of the entire race, bowing to no higher authority.

It is comparable to the rank of Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces.

Whether or not he ever took the actual "Emperor of Destruction" title, however, is unknown.
