The '''Plasma Annihilator''' is a vast [[Plasma Weapon]] mounted only on [[Emperor Battle Titans]]. It can lay down extremely heavy fire, but also at high rates of fire. The ability to devastate a large area alone would make the weapon worthwhile, however the sheer power provided by the Titan's plasma reactors charge the weapons to their ultimate, devastating potential.{{Fn|1}}
The plasma unleashed by this weapon explodes upon impact with all the power of a miniature sun, forming craters hundreds of meters in diameter and turning sand into glass.{{Fn|3}} Simply firing the weapon is destructive in and of itself as it produces a deafening roar which shatters glass for a kilometer in all directions. Lesser Titans such as [[Gargant]]s are reduced to little more than melted sludge by the sunfire emitted from a Plasma Annihilator.{{Fn|4}} Even when only damaged by enemy weaponry, a Plasma Annihilator can unintentionally vaporise a hundred troopers stationed nearby by simply having clouds of superheated vapour stream downwards from the damaged sections.{{Fn|5}}
The [[Sunfury Plasma Annihilator]] is a smaller version mounted on [[Warlord Class Titan]]s.
