In Armada, Demolishor is a robot who transforms into a missile tank. He is partnered with the

In the Armada cartoon series, Demolishor was one of the Decepticons who initially accompanied Megatron to Earth, along with and Cyclonus. A loyal soldier who follows orders without much thought of his own, he was later upgraded into a Powerlinx form, reflecting the recolor of the original toy for a second release.

Demolishor is voiced by Alvin Sanders. Micron Legend Ironhide is voiced by Koji Yusa.

After the battle with
Despite frequent conflicts with some of the Autobots there, and an unwillingness to follow the orders of when it meant he was left out of the fight, he generally served well, fighting strongly against the early Terrorcon attacks.
However, when Demolishor beheld the sword wielded by Scorponok that had been forged from Megatron's Spark, he could sense his leader's life energy, and found himself questioning his role. When Megatron himself was reborn and attacked Ocean City, Demolishor faced off against his leader, but could not bring himself to fire upon him, returning to his side. However, there were still some lingering doubts in Demolishor's mind, his experiences with the Autobots and humans clearly having affected him. He made his final decision, however, when he cast his concerns aside and pushed Megatron out of the path of Earth's Energon Grid, taking the full force of the energy, destroying his body. However, Megatron was able to recover his Spark, and using the powers he gained by merging with Unicron's body, created a new body for him.
As sort of a final insult, however, Demolishor's mind was wiped clean, removing all memory of his time with the Autobots and diminishing his intelligence, turning him once again into a loyal servant. Prior to this reconstruction, Demolishor retained his original form of a missile tank (only now colored green), but after being recreated, his alternate mode became a dump truck, armed with a "Hyper Power" missile launcher. In this new form he was re-named Irontread in Transformers: Superlink, the Japanese version of the series.
Alan Sanders and Koji Yusa both reprised their roles from Armada and Micron Legend for Energon and Superlink.
