Yea it is drawn like that. Maybe during the design phase the BAT was going to be a cyborg then they changed it to a robot but forgot to change the artwork? Sounds logical to me...

I've been waiting for a book like that for so long. The art of GIJoe should be celebrated. I would buy a hardcover copy in a heartbeat.

I wish this existed, and there is certainly enough of it to warrant multiple books. The problem is I doubt Hasbro still has all of it to make it happen, and the people that have it in there personal collections won't even post it online half the time, so I highly doubt they would allow Hasbro to make high quality reprints.
The best we could likely hope for is the 2000 and beyond art, where it is primarily digital (and as such intended for reprinting without losing quality) a lot of the vintage art is either no longer in existence (or at least it's whereabouts known) or has condition problems as a result of nearly 30 years of moving around, and improper storage and handling. Though if they compiled whatever they had in the Hasbro archives, I'd certainly love to own it! |

Oh, if you guys like the art and haven't seen them you should probably check these two threads I have/am working on:

I think making one side a large image of the card art and the other a bio and maybe interesting facts about each character...That way you could either leave the book intact or remove the images for display
