Can the destroyer Operate without its head?

If the destroyer loses its head, can it keep operating?

No

What makes you think that, when all evidence points to the contrary?

Film[edit]
The Destroyer appears in the 2011 live-action film Thor.[30] In this continuity, the Destroyer is depicted as a giant semi-autonomous construct created to act as a guardian who obeys the direct command of the King of Asgard, its main function being to protect Odin's chamber of relics. When Loki takes the throne and Thor is banished to Earth and stripped of his powers, Loki sends the Destroyer to Earth to kill the powerless Thor. Temporarily waylaid by several of Thor's friends, it continued its advance through the small New Mexico town of Puente Antiguo until Thor stepped forward to face it alone. Thor appealed to Loki through the Destroyer, asking him to take his life, but leave the nearby populace alone. The Destroyer then dealt him a mortal blow, but his nobility proves him worthy to wield Mjolnir once again, allowing him to fight the Destroyer by lifting it off the ground in a tornado. When the Destroyer fires its beam weapon, Thor uses Mjolnir to charge through the beam and thrust it into the Destroyer's head, causing its power to turn in on itself and blow its head up, damaging it beyond its ability to function.

So since blowing its head up in the movie destroys it, why do you think it will still be able to function?

Bump

While there was an explosion, the Destroyers head was still intact.

I guess you can't read, lets try again.

"Thor uses Mjolnir to charge through the beam and thrust it into the Destroyer's head, causing its power to turn in on itself and blow its head up, damaging it beyond its ability to function."

Generally speaking, people take the statement that something was blown up to mean that it was destroyed, it would be more accurate to say there was an internal explosion.

So do you think if it loses its head, it can still operate and use its directed beam?

I'm not convinced it'll lose its head in the first place, which makes this particular question moot.

This can be answered quite simply: do we ever see the thing operate without a head? Either it has or it hasn't.

Its never operated without its head.

So then it can't.

Yea a few people here think it can, which is interesting to know why.

That's like saying we've never seen fully powered Thor without his hammer for extended periods of time. So it probably means when Mjolnir gets destroyed he'll be powerless.

Or like saying have we ever seen Wonder Woman fight without her bracelets? No? Then she probably can't fight without them.

Have any proof it can fight without its head?

I'm not convinced that WW can cut it's head off, so this question is rather moot.

Wonder Woman isn't part of the discussion, it's just more about if his head was removed could he. If you don't think Women Woman can, say Dr. Manhattan took his head off, could he keep operating.
