If a Cyberdark Monster is equipped with Exploder Dragon and the Cyberdark Monster is destroyed as a result of battle, does Exploder Dragon's affect activate? If the Cyberdark Monster is equipped with Twin-Headed Behemoth and the Behemoth's affect has not been used during the duel, does it come back?
Answer:
Exploder Dragon says "When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard..."
This certainly doesn't happen when it is destroyed by the effect of "Cyberdark Horn", etc.
From the FAQ rulings for "Twin-Headed Behemoth":
"If equipped to "Relinquished" and destroyed, you can use the effect of this card and it will be Special Summoned on your side of the field with ATK/DEF of 1000 points. (If you have not already used this effect once.)"
The same is true for "Cyberdark Keel", etc.
