[ Honestly a creative take and I love it. Nuwa locates a pretty decent-sized chunk out of... well, several that surround them, given the debris and caving in ceilings and all this and that, and throws it into the vehicle. And hey, if it doesn't quite work the first time, what's stopping her from throwing in a second for good measure?
Either way, with the weight jostling the gas pedal, the Hogcrusher makes a sputtering, revving noise, its tires grinding against floor and against the weight of the fallen concrete upon it. Like a glorious countdown, you get to watch the pieces fall aside one by one, the death car making one lurch forward, and then another -- until it successfully breaks free and starts hurtling towards the Vault Guardian.
Zer0, fortunately, has the werewithal to see that thing incoming and backflip the hell outta dodge. The Guardian itself, on the other hand, attempts to make a grab -- only for its eye to whirr and glance backwards at the truck coming towards it. Then at the sound of Owen firing the gun. Then back at the truck again.
For an expressionless murderous alien robot, you can almost feel that 'oh, shit' in the air.
Boom goes the car right into the Guardian's body, still kneeled over from Nuwa's earlier attack. It lurches from the impact, and that would've been pretty effective enough as it is, but Owen's fire takes it to a new level as the shock travels over metal, over the truck (is it your imagination? Or do you swear everything started going unironically slow-motion for a moment?) -- and then BOOM.
A truly glorious explosion rings out as the car crashes with a mighty bang, and pieces of stone, metal, and an almost noxiously bright purple liquid rain down from the sky. It might not be the traditional kind of blood and viscera that Zer0 had implied, but for a maybe-robot, it's pretty close.
...
Yeah, you're looking at the totally mangled body of the former Guardian, its torso completely blown open. Its robotic blue eye twitches, whirrs, looks at the two of you as if in great offense... before it finally fades away. ]
