Has any one wondered this?

Gundamben831 · 06-05-2011, 11:15 PM

So I have always wondered this and didn't know if any other fellow tankers have noticed this. We all know the true definition of a B.A.T.S. (Battle Android Troopers) but on every card that they are printed on it always states Cobra Android Trooper. Now Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that make them C.A.T.S.???
Now I know that sounds completely redundant calling them that but why is that they have to keep forcing us to read Cobra Android Trooper why can't they just leave it as Battle Android Trooper or Cobra Battle Android Trooper. Out of all the cards of the B.A.T. figures are printed on, the only one that states the actually correct wording is on the 1991 V2 B.A.T. card, any other card doesn't have this printed the corrected way.

Thanks for that.

Arnold Poindexter: So what you're saying essentially is, is that along with infinite space which extends beyond perpetual bigness there's also infinite smallness?
Harold Wormser: [nods head in agreement]
Arnold Poindexter: How?
Harold Wormser: Easy. Take an asymptotic line and extend it outward.
Arnold Poindexter: Oh.
Stewart: Right, right, right. So perpetual bigness exists simultaneously with perpetual smallness. What was I thinking?
Ogre: What if uh C-A-T really spelled dog?
Arnold Poindexter: Wow.
Harold Wormser: God.
Stewart: Yeah.
Arnold Poindexter: That's heavy Ogre. Dog.

I sure as hell noticed it right from the beginning in 86. I just ignored it & stuck with Battle Android Troopers. But bats or cats both sound stupid IMO.

But the W.H.A.L.E. is the most retarded of them all. Warrior hovering lauching envoy thingamabob. I was a little kid & I laughed my ass off at that. Instead of just calling it the "Killer Whale" they had to put a bunch of random words together to go with each letter of the word whale. Hilarious!

Dam good catch I never notice that, I just open up the package and start placing the figure in my collectibles. i read the file card but really didn't bother to check, my mind is on catching the next new figure!

I bet if they didn't already use C.A.T. for the Crimson Attack Tank they would have called the androids C.A.T.s.

Well its a bit of dialog from Revenge of the Nerds II, and since CAT was part of your post and Ogre spells CAT...its funny.
