Sunbow G.I. Joe - Cobra Commander & Destro

'Noble Destro!'
some great fun moments between these two!
I absolutely love them and this show. RIP the fantastic Chris Latta

[@WizelBalan]

Cobra Commander and Destro bickering was always my favorite parts of the episodes.

[@girlgarde]

Given how CC is, I don't blame Destro for bickering with him all the time. Cobra Commander was a real jerk to him and unfairly blamed him for every setback Cobra suffered.

[@doublec4431]

@@ddillard143 Cobra Commander and Destro situation is very different from Megaton and Starscream's. Cobra Commander is the Head Figure of Cobra because it's his organization. But him and Destro are comrades/equal partners in crime. They work side by side and along with each other. Destro is automatically placed 2nd in command at all times even when Serpantor took it over. Destro has proven that he is just as strong as Cobra Commander if not stronger in combat and got just as much authority too. So Cobra Commander ain't bossing Destro at all. Destro just simply compromises with him only because he knows that he's out numbered by too many people who are loyal to Cobra Commander.

Destro in all technical terms. Is Second in Command to the Commander. His role grew from being a weapons supplier and partner to the Cobra Organization, For money. And it grew into a Command position. Destro however didn’t have the real motives. To the Cobra Organization ultimate goal. Beyond World Domination. See G.I Joe The Movie for Cobra’s true goal.
