'Master of Destruction - Warlord of the Parasites. An expert in conquest who hides inside a Chevy Blazer.'
Destructite is the most solid of the Parasites with two, large, flat ended rods holding the body together. They also make up part of the sliding, mode change process.
In robot mode it's stable, has logical leg and arm articulation and even with the head coming from its chest area is still on par height wise with most of the other models.
Hidden mode works well with the arms and feet adding weapons to the Chevy Blazer and Destructite can still look out through the windshield.
Keeping the rest of the line in mind, it almost feels as if Destructite was designed first and most of the good ideas were used up on this model.
Condition: All examples are freshly removed from card. Diecast and chrome damage are the result of sub-par manufacturing and packing processes.
