The ultimate expression of [[X-COM (Apocalypse)|X-COM]] technology - a mean, fast and devastating craft which, if properly equipped, is more than a match for the biggest Alien attack ships. The Annihilator will help secure X-COM domination of the [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)|Alien Dimension]].
{{Ref Close | source = X-COM Apocalypse Ufopedia}}
It is the second fastest ship X-COM can own, bested only by the [[Dimension Probe]]. Being a hybrid aircraft it beams fuel directly from the [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)|Alien Dimension ]]. This allows it to stay in the air indefinitely.
‡ Armour values are for: Top/Front/Left/Right/Rear/Bottom<br>
The Annihilator is very customisable. It offers two 3×4 weapon hard points on its side, and a very large 4×4 forward hard point, making it the only aircraft that can carry a [[Heavy Disruptor Beam (Apocalypse) | Heavy Disruptor Beam ]].
This vehicle is the fifth and final example of human-alien technology.<br>
It is designed as a heavy fighter-transporter.<br>
The large physical size of this craft may limit swarm tactics due to excessive friendly fire. It is the only craft which can mount the alien's [[Heavy_Disruptor_Beam_(Apocalypse)|Heavy Disruptor Beam]].<br>
X-Com must recover and research an Alien [[Alien_Battleship_(Apocalypse)|Battleship]] before this is possible to construct.
The Annihilator also has an enormous 5×6 slot block of equipment space and default seating for 8 agents.
With room to host powerful weapons and store shields that can span anywhere up to a maximum of 1200 or 1400 extra shield points, a lone Annihilator is a devastatingly powerful aircraft. A single ship can easily lay the entire UFO fleet to waste - or even [[Mega-Primus]] (Theoretically speaking!).
:<sup>1</sup> Armor is given as Top/Front/Left/Right/Rear/Bottom. The in-game Ufopedia rather misleadingly displays only a single armor value, the sum of the values on all six of the vehicle's facings.
