Destro
|
Description:
Pictured above is a prototype version of Destro
(1993) as the figure appeared in a Hasbro product catalog. Note the
extensive use of metallic paints and the accessory mounted to the right
arm. Due to the similarity of this accessory and the one pictured with
Cobra B.A.A.T., it is possible that this accessory
was instead an electronic light as mentioned below rather than a missile
launcher. Also, Destro has another missile launcher mounted to his right
shoulder, using the mold of those that came with Heavy
Duty (1991).

Additional Images:
Pictured above is the silhouette of Destro
(1993) as the figure appeared in the 1993 yearly insert catalog. The
1993 catalog used several silhouettes as placeholders for figures to
come. The Armor Tech images appear to be silhouettes of production art
rather than of actual figures. However, the description that accompanied
these images gave some indication of features that were dropped before
production. Originally referred to as the "Star Brigade Fighters"
rather than "Star Brigade Armor Tech," each figure was intended
to feature body-activated lights and sounds as well as spring-fired
weapons. It should also be noted that the same silhouette that was used
for Destro was also used for Techno-Viper
(1994).
