I think the gold-headed Destro is really cool, and he looks noble and ceremonial, which helps him fit as the leader of his own faction.

But in my own Joe world, Destro doesn't lead his own faction. He has the IGs, but they're a small personal army tasked with protecting Castle Destro and all of M.A.R.S.'s factories. Destro spends most of his time with Cobra, in the same capacity as in the early comics and the TV show.

I could see him donning the gold-helmet uniform for formal occasions, but for everyday-wear, he has his v1/v3 outfit.
