1987 HASBRO U.K.
DESTRO
Destro was released under Hasbro U.K. in 1987. Destro was the main arms dealer to Cobra Commander. The two hate each other but they had mutual interests. Destro came with a armed attache case (backpack) and a high density laser gun. The case had a hinge and could be opened to reveal moulds of weapons. The gun is small and thin and is often lost or broken.
The Destro figure mould was used for the series two Red Jackal figure. Red Jackal was a repaint of Destro.
