Day 31 - Destro's Despoiler (RAH) (1/24/26)

Heavily rumored to be coming in 2026 with an Iron Grenadier version of Destro, the Despoiler is his main ride from 1988.

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the Few Joess I had as a young'in that I would absolutely pick up again even though I'm heavily limiting how much I dive into this line.

Don't think I would pick it up, but only because I gotta draw the line somewhere, but I always loved the look of this one.
 
Yes to Destto's Despoiler though I wouldn't mind if they changed the from gun design a little bit.

HUGE F#$%ING YES to a Firebat. One of my favourite vehicles and I would immediately order it, but most likely would get at least 2-3 of them for sure.
 
Yes. In Cobra blue, or another reasonable color that wouldn’t stand out so much against the sky. Modify this design slightly. More enclosure for the pilot and actual room for an engine. This would be another hood candidate for a retail vehicle, with action figure already selected.
 
This whole time I thought Destro rode the Despoiler like Green Goblin rides his glider. Yes to Despoiler.

Yes to Firebat. If Cobra ever got out of the world terrorism game, they can hold Firebat nascar style air races. They like nimble and speedy for that kinda thing.

I kind of feel the Firebat is a great design on it's own. The modified versions they released during the 25th/ME/ROC/POC era always looked either too busy, or too klunky. I think the Firebat is one of those designs that they pretty much nailed on the first go round and the simplicity is what makes it great in my book.

It's probably why I have 3 still MISB from the 25th line and 3 more (combo of ARAH and 25th). So yeah if they do a Classified version that stays fairly true to the original design I'll be in for more than I should.
 
Was the Firebat ever available separate from the Terror Drome? I’m not aware of one in the ARAH era.
 
Had it as a kid, loved that it got screen time. But would not ask for one in Classified. If they made one, I’d reluctantly buy because FOMO.
 
I have no nostalgia for this one at all. But it's of a size and stupidity to tempt me greatly if they did it in Classified.
