If Exploder Dragonwing attacks a set Defense Position monster, does its effect destroy it after it is flipped?!
Exploder Dragonwing attacks a face-down monster in Defense Position.
No. Its effect checks at the start of the Damage Step before the monster is flipped, so it will not destroy a face-down Defense Position monster by effect.
Does Exploder Dragonwing prevent Mystic Tomato from triggering?!
Exploder Dragonwing destroys Mystic Tomato in battle.
Yes. Mystic Tomato was not destroyed by battle, so it does not activate.

"Exploder Dragonwing" has a Trigger Effect that activates at the start of Damage Step. (Before a face-down monster is flipped face-up, at the same time as "Sasuke Samurai" or "Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke," etc.) You can choose whether or not to activate the effect of “Exploder Dragonwing.” However, you must activate the full effect (destroy without damage calculation + inflict effect damage) or none of it.
“Exploder Dragonwing” inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster’s ATK while it was on the field, including any adjustments from continuous effects.
The effects of “Exploder Dragonwing” to destroy a monster and inflict damage are considered to be simultaneous, although as a practical matter the monster is destroyed first. The effect is considered to have resolved after both parts are completed.
If, while the effect is being resolved, the other monster’s ATK becomes higher than that of “Exploder Dragonwing,” the effect of “Exploder Dragonwing” is not applied.
