G.I. Joe Modern Era Wave 9 B.A.T. Review

B.A.T.s (Battle Android Troopers) are dangerous to everybody. They'll shoot, bayonet, or kick anything in sight, Cobra Infantrymen don't like to be on the same battlefield with B.A.T.s. When a Cobra unit is losing a battle they will dispense B.A.T.s into the midst of the firefight in order to evacuate the area. They can still push farther than regular troops and take more damage. Nothing short of rendering them absolutely inoperative (destroy all vital core components) would stop them.

Set to be the biggest Army Builder of the line so far, the Cobra B.A.T. is full of upgrades. Now you can remove the hands from both sides of the figure and attach any of the weapons included to the right or left side of the figure.

The back-pack looks a bit bulky with the weapons placed inside. If you use the hands to sit in the top of the back-pack it looks much better. The claw hand opens and shuts and the B.A.T. also comes with a sidearm, what looks to be a Desert Eagle. The chest plate is not easy to remove on this version. I'm sure there is a way but until I get a few more that test well need to wait. This has always been my favorite Troop Builder and I am looking forward to the Battle Damaged Version.

Yup, that's for sure. I will be getting as many of these as I can find.

i really don't even like B.A.T.s and i have to admit they knocked this one all the way out of the park. I love the 'Terminator' arms.

Can we expect a Snow Serpent review today Shiney Bald Boss? (my favorite troops)

yeah, they had 'battle damage' pieces (head and one forearm IIRC) and a Spore backpack (from the comics issue BATs debuted in) @ Toyfair...

I want to have a insanely big army of about 30-40 of those tech creeps. Sadly because of money limitations I will get about 6-12.

I hope Hasbro releases in a future an army builder pack of BATS so we can get more of them for a cheaper price.
