The Battle Android Trooper, (B.A.T. for short) is a fan favorite army builder that deserves a well made, updated figure. Fortunately for us, Hasbro hit this one out of the ball park
The Bat is an all new sculpt with a few changes from the original. The chest plate is no longer the old lenticular 3-D image from the old days, now it's an actual, sculpted part with a clear cover. The figure is molded in black plastic with a silver dry brush paint app on the robotic parts that gives them a gritty, machine feel. One of the additions that wasn't needed but is gladly accepted is the removable gun from the hip holster seen on the original figure. The holster has a strap that plugs onto the removable belt with the familiar Bat belt buckle. Unlike the original figure, this BAT includes a trend started with the Valor Vs Venom BAT from 2004, an interchangeable left hand! All the familiar attachments are here in an updated form. The flamethrower and machine gun still have the classic look but are bulked up and heavily detailed. The biggest update to the attachments is the claw with a movable grip blade. Again, this is an update that wasn't needed but is appreciated. The backpack looks to be retooled from the original. Due to the increased size in the hand attachments, only two attachments can fit on the top of the backpack. Hasbro included a hollow area in the bottom of the backpack to store one of the hand attachments so the BAT can still carry all it's parts with it. The BAT comes with a backpack, Left hand attachment, Right hand attachment, Flamethrower attachment, Machine gun attachment, Claw attachment, Handgun and a Cobra Stand with it's name on it. This is an impressively detailed toy that was obviously made with a love for the character. Everything about this toy screams awesome.

Bloomin' brilliant figure! It's obvious why 'he' is so popular and I consider it a miracle I managed to get two!

Right now it is in my top 3 favorite figures I own, although, I'm looking more forward to the BAT from the 'Arise Serpentor, Arise' battle pack.
