DESCRIPTION: |
Destro's Dominator tank can
outmaneuver and outgun G.I. Joe's ground forces, then convert to an attack helicopter by retracting the track treads and repositioning the rotor blades and tail to
out fly G.I. Joe's most sophisticated aircraft.
The Dominator was first deployed to the United States in 1990. When the Iron Grenadiers began deploying to Brazil in 1991, the Dominator was deployed with the designation A.T.I.L.A. (or "Line of Attack Integrated Aero-Tank") and piloted by Dr. Mindbender. After Cobra's return, Destro contracted his Dominators to the terrorist organization in 2002 and even piloted one personally. Given that Destro's Dominator has seen service for eleven years, it is presumed that it is still in service today for whoever can afford Destro's price.
