I've always loved the Destro Character. Much more so than Cobra Commander, no doubt. As a kid watching the series, I always hoped that Destro would finally depose CC and take over. Alas, that never happened.
Here I've taken the things I liked most about Destro, and put my own spin on them. First of all, Big D should be big and physically imposing. So I used body parts that made him tall and muscular. And I'm a huge fan of his arm-mounted weapons (was that a dart gun or a mini rocket launcher he had?), so I made added gauntlet cannons as well. The original costume with the exposed chest and disco collar doesn't age too well, imo. So I updated the look of the costume. Recipe head - comic pack Destro torso & upper arms - box set Destro forearms & hands - IM 2 Warmachine thighs - POC Arctic Destro calves & feet - Movie Thor arm cannons - SW fodder collar - MU Hydra soldier and some apoxy sculpt shirt buttons - craft store beads note: i tried the other Destro heads, but none looked as cool as this one

That looks great. I like the mix of the updated and classic looks.
