That's the Resolute Destro, huh? wow, that sucks.



Duke is hardcore, the Cobra blueshirts are very modern, Cobra Commander is regal... and Destro looks like a circus performer. :-/



See, I thought he was the guy that emptied the porta potties.

But the other set looks good.

OK, to clarify things, this is Pilot Destro. In the comics he was shown flying the Despoiler. The Resolute Destro designs shown at the con were closer to the Sigma 6 design so I don't know where they got this from, perhaps a specific Resolute episode.

Yes, Destro has a giraffe neck. But that's a new angrier-looking non-chrome head with green eyes and a removable headset.

The hoses connect to his wrist-mounted computer from his backpack.

That's the IG Destro body under the chestplate.

Those crampons really look stupid and serve no purpose on a pilot.

As for Shockwave... It's a Cobra Trooper torso & arms under the vest. The head has the cavity far back so he can't look down. The gasmask is a tight fit but doesn't work alongside the helmet (unlike the Bbi SWAT figures who could wear their gasmasks & helmets at the same time).

Since it's the Cobra Trooper waist, the Firefly belt falls down to his hips.

Those two gigantic holsters hold smaller-sized versions of his original pistol. They seem to have resculpted the original pistol right down to the funny hannging trigger/trigger guard. The right holster has the Adventure Team logo on the flap.

Shockwave only comes with those two pistols, his cap, helmet and gasmask. No Uzi, no backpack.

As for the rolled down/unbloused pants... the original Shockwave also had them.

The comic shows a new dead Joe (yes, he's already dead in the back of the Night Ops Humvee when he's introduced) who is a demolitions expert.

The comic also shows DTC Troopers :-D

any pics with destro's crap removed? those are IG destro's arms, wondering what else is reused...

That's kind of odd. You would think Hasbro would know that part of Shockwave's original appeal was not only his pistol but also his silenced uzi and that awesome combat knife.

Are the gaps on Destro's torso filled in or what? There are some pretty big notches in that torso for the IG shoulder pad and the cape.

I'll probly end up with these. Just wish I didnt have to buy anouther Stormy and Destro to get the figures I want. I like the Stormy but not as that character. I'll l probly use him as Budo since thats one not likely to be made , I've got no use for a fourth Destro and will just toss it in the plastic storage bin. I know Hasbro has that core character policy but shoudn't there be enough pegwarmers left over to take care of that.

Well after a much closer look and explaination of that Destro:

I still hate him, sorry just does nothing for me on any level.

This better not be Destro, it would actually be kinda cool with some HISS driver legs and a Wild Weasel head.

Snow Job's lower legs are probably the closest thing they have to replicate the original figure, I'm impressed they went for accuracy over ease of using Snake-eyes or Duke legs.

I picked these up on my way home last night, I they didn't have them in the computer when I got the the register which I found odd. Storm Shadow is really nice and shockwave is a great update but the fact he has 2 different holsters on his legs for guns the same size bothers me a bit.

I found these today as well. TR, SW, and SS are all very cool, but even in hand, that destro sucks hard core. He's already been taken apart and is sitting in the fodder box.

As for Tunnel Rat, I had originally planned to replace the head with the VvV TR head, but when I held him in my hand I couldnt help but notice that he loks very much like a cartoonier Larry Hamma. Now how on earth could I ever throw away Larry? :-)

I just happened to luck up on them at a Wal-Mart today. They are the first signs of anything past wave 9 I have seen in any store in a 100 mile radius of me to be honest.
