'''Destro finds himself beset by a mysterious new enemy, but his survival may depend on a new pawn.'''

Destro crawls from the wreckage of his Despoiler and treks his way across the Scottish mountains to a [[United States Air Force]] base, and demands to speak to [[General Flagg]]! Destro regales Flagg with a story about the origins of his mask:

==Quotes==
"They thought to shame a Destro through ''discomfort''. As though discomfort is not a weaponeer's stock in trade. We dance in the grey spaces between international law. We refuse to look away from the devastation of our wares, which turns the stomachs of a world that finds it all so necessary, yet impolite. Our Clan took that melded mask of shame, and it became a symbol of out pride. That we can carry such weight. That we can thrive in it. And God, ''how'' we thrive."
:—'''Destro'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The attack on Darklonia occurred back in [[Destro issue 1|issue #1]].
* Scrap-Iron’s remark about the similarity between the Buzzards and the B.A.T.s further hints towards the involvement of [[Cobra Commander]], as only he has the Energon necessary to power the B.A.T.s.
* Scrap-Iron alludes to weapons "thinking for themselves," likely a dual nod to either the robotic Overkill who has been alluded to previously or the [[Transformer]]s.

===''G.I. Joe'' references===
* The story Destro tells about the origin of Clan Destro’s mask being based in the {{w|Wars of Three Kingdoms}} was first referenced on the [https://www.yojoe.com/action/88/destro2.shtml 1988 figure] file card.
* General Lawrence J. Flagg is the original commanding officer of the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe team]] from the ''A Real American Hero'' era, appearing in both the [[G.I. Joe (comic)|Marvel comic]] and the Sunbow cartoon series (though in the case of the latter, he was merged with fellow general, “Iron Butt” Austin) and served as namesake for the [[USS Flagg]]. While Flagg has appeared sporadically in subsequent ''Joe'' media, such as ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'', more recent iterations have tended to see his role fulfilled by either [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] or [[Joe Colton]].

===Real-life references===
* As mentioned above, the Clan Destro backstory is tied into the Wars of Three Kingdoms, also known as the British Civil Wars, one of the major turning points in British history that helped lead to the modern day [[United Kingdom]].

===Other notes===
* This issue features a guest artist in [[Andrea Milana]], returning from the previous Cobra-centric Energon Universe miniseries, ''[[Cobra Commander (comic)|Cobra Commander]]''.
