Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon - Transformers Wiki
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon (金属生命破壊砲 Kinzoku Seimei Hakai Hō) is the personal weapon of Decepticon Emperor of Destruction Deathsaurus. For maximum destructive effect, the cannon links up with Deathsaurus's own systems and runs on his personal energy supply. A fully-charged blast erodes any metal—even the living metallic cells of super-robot lifeforms—leaving any opponent dead or dying.
It was destroyed a few times too; whether Deathsaurus has more than one or it can be easily repaired is unknown, though since no other Transformer has one, the latter appears more likely.

Returning to Earth after a mission to the Dark Nebula to re-energize his trapped fortress, Deathsaurus clashed with Star Saber in an outer space battle and unveiled the Living Metal-Destroying Cannon for the first time. He first employed it in his creature mode, but soon transformed to robot mode to link the gun to himself. After a few impressive blasts, the villain had Star Saber dead to rights, but when he pulled the trigger, he realized that he had expended his energy reserves powering up his fortress, leaving him unable to deliver the killing shot. Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress
Later, during another battle on Earth, Deathsaurus did manage to off someone with the cannon, except it was God Ginrai, rather than Star Saber. And he got rebuilt into Victory Leo, anyway. A Deadly Battle
He used it again in a battle against a very wounded Star Saber to stop him from foiling one of his plans to get energy for his fortress. Ginrai Dies!!
The massive cannon was used in Deathsaurus's final battle with Star Saber; Deathsaurus managed to get in three deadly shots before his gun was destroyed by a laser barrage from his opponent. But none of those blasts hit, though the last one did destroy Star Saber's own gun. Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification
Victory comic
Deathsaurus first unleashed his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon in battle against the new Autobot warrior, Victory Leo. The blast had no effect on Victory Leo, as his gurunium armor shielded him from the cannon's effects. The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!
Deathsaurus whipped out his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon in his final confrontation with Star Saber, hovering in space just outside the Decepticon Space Stronghold. Star Saber dodged the blast, but as Deathsaurus had his back turned, the treacherous Leozack shot him with the laser gun from the Space Stronghold. Injured and enraged, Deathsaurus turned his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon on the Space Stronghold, damaging it badly. The Grand Victory War

- Deathsaurus (2023)
- Known designers: Brian Jablonksy, Evan Brooks, and John Warden (Hasbro), Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy), Emiliano Santalucia (concept artist)[1], Guido Guidi (packaging artist)
- The HasLab crowdfunded figure for Deathsaurus includes both his signature melee weapons and the Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon, which can be held in monster and robot mode (and for the latter, can be held one- or two-handed). This huge weapon folds in half at the middle so it can be stored mostly out of sight on the back of Deathsaurus's throne. Both the front cannon barrel and the back end "exhaust" port of the cannon are compatible with larger Fire Blast effects.
- The cannon needed 14,000 backers to enter production, and reached this threshold on December 5 2022, seven days before the project deadline. The set began shipping to campaign backers in December 2023.
