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. Note: This title does apply to most of those characters in English-speaking continuity. While the Predacon Magmatron earned the sobriquet "emperor of destruction" describing his prowess in battle, it is not a proper noun, merely a descriptive nickname.
