the Iron Grenadiers

(place-holder page, text to follow)

The Mastermind:

Destro: the latest in a long line of arms traders, James McCullen Destro XXIV has no problem selling his family's wares to the highest bidder. While personally honorable, he has no qualms about working with the likes of Cobra and other despotic villains. Availability:

Destro's Lieutenants:

Darklon: a unique villain in Cobra's orbit, Darklon is the leader of his very own, albeit tiny European nation: Darklonia! An unrepentant mercenary, privateer, and investment banker, Darklon has continued his crime spree unabated thanks to diplomatic immunity! Availability:

Metal-Head: a walking, talking anti-tank weapon, Metal-Head gleefully destroys armor (or just about anything else) with the utmost of skill. Sure, he almost compulsively hones his skills on everything in his environment, but you can't argue with results! Availability:

Voltar: a notorious mercenary commander and tactical genius, Voltar serves as the general of Destro's Iron Grenadier army. Destro's right-hand man, Voltar is trusted to deal with various issues that the boss simply lacks time for, both on and off the field. Availability:

Destro's Legions:

Annihilators: thanks to the heli-pack assigned to each Annihlator, these airborne soldiers may be instantly deployed from any location! Serving as Destro's personal bodyguards, Annihlators work together to guarantee his safety - and that of their paychecks! Availability:

Ferrets: the heart of the Iron Grenadiers' armored assault squadrons, the duty to operate their DEMONs falls upon the ranks of the Ferrets. Doggedly optimistic, the Ferrets are trained to fight hard and fast, and above all else, to never look back. Availability:

Iron Grenadiers: drawn from the ranks of earth's elite mercenaries, the Iron Grenadiers are the core of Destro's personal army. Insidious saboteurs and relentless arms dealers, the Iron Grenadiers are supremely motivated, as they get a cut of every MARS sale! Availability:

Nullifiers: these elite pilots withstand a six hour physical training regimen every day to fulfill their primary duties. And that is the operation of Destro's Anti-Gravity Pods, or AGPs, which are unforgiving vehicles for even the most seasoned pilot! Availability:

TARGATs: the Trans-Atmospheric Rapid Global Assault Troopers are deployed from orbit via space-born personnel carriers. Returning to the earth as weaponized meteors, they strike utter fear into whoever has irked the ire of the Iron Grenadiers' clients! Availability:

Undertow: the underwater combatants of the Iron Grenadiers, Undertow are excellent spies and saboteurs. Stalking the polluted waterways of all industrialized nations, Undertow steal what secrets they can, and destroy what they can't carry home with them. Availability:

Wild Boars: those elite Iron Grenadiers who show a predilection for vehicular combat over leadership are often offered a position amongst the Wild Boars. The reward for serving Destro in this capacity, in addition to more pay, is the use of a Razorback! Availability:

Equipment:

the AGP: the first mass-produced aircraft produced by Destro for his Iron Grenadiers, the Anti-Gravity Pod, or AGP, is a small and vast VTOL vehicle. Capable of independently pivoting its jet engine, the AGP is capable of truly amazing aerial maneuvers! Availability:

the Despoiler: Destro leads his Iron Grenadiers from the front, which most often requires the high ground to see the big picture. He thus flies his Despoiler into battle, which helps him direct the fight, and serve as a powerful symbol for his troops! Availability:

the Dominator: a dual-mode marvel of modern engineering, Destro's Dominator can easily transform between its tank and its helicopter configurations, allowing its operators to outgun and outmaneuver their opponents whether fighting them on land or in the skies! Availability:

the DEMON: the original ground assault vehicle designed for his personal army, the DEMON is the Iron Grenadiers' offensive powerhouse! Equipped with multiple laser banks and anti-aircraft missile launchers, the DEMON can easily seize and hold enemy ground! Availability:

the Evader: something of an armored, recumbent motorcycle, the Evader is Darklon's personal vehicle. Built for speed as much as it is durability, Darklon can use his mean ride to ferry materials as well as to engage in vehicle-to-vehicle combat! Availability:

the Razorback: built for vehicle-to-vehicle combat, the Razorback is an excellent complement to Destro's DEMONs. Heavily armed and armored, and capable of seizing the high ground in most firefights, the Razorback lets Iron Grenadiers dominate the battlefield! Availability:
