The Destroyer
It's finally here!: 1.3.1, with all it's new toys!
And Cenx's official announcement post points squarely at us, here in T-MEC!
No need to have tried everything before answering here. Also, if you have a full-on build or detailed coverage of a promising game mechanic, please, please start a whole new thread for it!
As for details of the new content:
@critcodedtuna , on Reddit, has posted up a definitive list of all the new items, by their code ID, and is listing how to acquire each one. 
@Yoraiz0r has also written a pretty slick getting started wiring guide, including some neat little uses of logic gates. Not merely content with programming in all this amazing content.
Then for those looking to ease into the update content and see some of it's capabilities in action first, you can check out and download @Baih and Noel's (@Kieda) amazing looking adventure map! From watching some of Pedguin's preview stream last night it looks like the most comprehensive and well polished content I've seen for Terraria.
Finally, if you find any obvious bugs in the game, please go check the forum's official bug report section and see if you've found a unique one (the devs will be very pleased to hear of new ones as soon as possible). If you're not sure if something's working as intended you are welcome to post it up here if you like.

Do they do good damage to shoot up at WoF too, or other applications? Also, what kind of areas do you find them in? Not found one myself yet...
