Tomax and Xamot share a unique bond. It makes them formidable opponents yet leaves them open to attack. Destro will exploit that weakness to protect humanity's ability to perpetuate the art of war in Destro #5. Read Full Review

Destro #5 continues one of the best origin stories in the Energon Universe. This book has been a must read since issue #1. Make sure before the next chapter in the Energon Saga kicks off, you read this series! Read Full Review

Destro #5 smashes with an action-packed finale that cements the steel-faced mastermind as a force to be reckoned with in Skybound's Energon Universe. With its blend of campy fun and ruthless scheming, this issue wraps up a miniseries that truly showcases why Destro is such a compelling villain. Read Full Review

The action holds quite a bit of impact. However, the drama that is driving, the conflict had a largely been concluded in the issues prior to the big finale. This is not to say that this issue is completely without its charm. Quite the contrary, in fact. Theres a great deal of work being done to set this particular series into the larger essence of the rest of the Energon Universe. Its going to be interesting to see how everything develops as the overarching universe continues to fuse G.I. Joe with The Transformers. Theres a great deal of potential in that particular crossover as more and more mini-series pop-up and the new G.I. Joe flagship series opens-up next month. Read Full Review

Destro #5 concludes this mini-series with a lot of world building storytelling to strengthen the foundation of the Energon Universe. Through all the world building Dan Watters and Andrei Bressan put over Destro as one of the characters to watch moving forward. It all comes together for a mini-series that builds a lot of excitement for the future of the Energon Universe. Read Full Review

Destro #5 is a great conclusion to the miniseries with all-time writing from Dan Watters that provides the best miniseries yet within the entirety of the Energon Universe, setting up G.I. Joe #1 better than any of the books that came before. It's a fun read that, deep within it, feels like you're reading a Mission Impossible story. Read Full Review

DESTRO #5 is a frustratingly disappointing finale to the self-titled miniseries as the glut of new developments shoehorned into the previous issue are rushed through in this issue to make it all make sense. It's rare to see a creative team do such a poor job of spacing and pacing a story, but this is what poor planning looks like. Read Full Review

I thought this was a pretty good ending. Having the twins feel each other's pain, is a bit weird, but there was some good action here. I don't think that Destro can be choked considering the mask covers his throat. I wish that the Baroness made an appearance, but I know she's going to start as a good guy. The whole idea of the AI attacking the auction was never fleshed out and the end was abrupt, so the story was not without its issues. Definitely better than Scarlett.

I think they were just keeping with the original cartoon lore. They could feel each others pain in that as well.
