Seems funny that in the GIJoe cartoon, the Joes' aim improved when fighting the BATS.

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

The B.A.T.S figure was my favorite action figure from the GI-Joe line. I collected myself an army of them by going to swap meets, toy shows and thrift stores back in the day. Good times!

[@Will4Jesus]

What do you pay for a complete bat?

[@christianhafer9819]

Still have them?

[@VolkXue]

toy shows in the mid 80s? I had this as a kid, sticker fell off and all but it was far from my favorite. I am actually shocked that it's popular lol Where i lived G1 Storm Shadow and Snakeeyes were impossible to get. I could never find them till the third versions came out and i didnt care for them as much. I liked Crimson Guard more than BATs My favorite was prob my own creation out of broken joes lol

[@fischgeist9664]

I'm glad you pointed out the flesh tone on the artwork. That always led me to suspect Cobra was recycling the bodies of fallen Blue Shirts. No need to invent a highly complex robot body when you have a dead human body to work with. Just need to figure out how to trick it into not decomposing!

[@bobastu]

I had the same theory. They invented Compound Z to take care of that. It would have been macabre if the Modern Zombie Viper was wearing BAT clothes, and then the Convention Box Set showed them with damaged helmets, and mix of cybernetic faces, rotting. Eewwwww!

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

The clothes would keep dust and grit out of his joints. I love the concept of a retreating Cobra force unleashing a horde of B.A.Ts as a last resort tactic.

[@ghostman5620]

the most i get out of my wife when it comes to GI Joe is............''how many of that guy do you need?"

[@dubuyajay9964]

Variants, reprints, customs, and repaints. There's your answer.

Great review, I have 8 cobra bats, complete and perfect, it wasn't easy or cheap, with my vipers and bats I will conquer the world, maw ha ha ha ha ha....oh wait did I say that out loud.

[@diggitydave75438]

Nice dude! I have 18 complete BATs, but a few of them are complete with an asterisk since i bought repro chest decals and a couple of repro attachments. I started buying repro attachments for the BATs i bought incomplete because i had 3 or 4 attachments in a row that i purchased that had backpack pegs broken off in them. I was tired of having to deal with that, so i started buying repro parts for many of my incomplete BATs, unless the parts were from a seller that I'm cool with and not an ebay seller or store that i don't know personally. After all that, i feel your pain. It's tough finding those attachments for a good price.

[@alexandremilliard4726]

Every army builder understand that

[@Mlopez_602]

I remember breaking a thumb off one of my Flint fingers and replacing it with an extra BATS arm. Then he could punch through anything.

[@mrdonigan]

1. Love the opening. 2. Loved B.A.T.s as a kid. I had three of them. One was self aware much like Data from Star Trek, and he commanded the other two. We also used the flame thrower as a machine gun, and the laser as a grenade launcher.

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

1986 brought us some of the best action figures. The BAT being one of them. Thanks for the shout out B!

[@jordel2010]

The B.A.T. was my first Cobra action figure and just like that fellow on the video, I remember having felt drawn to this figure first by its looks (design features and color scheme) and then by the attachments gimmick. The vintage B.A.T. is, to me, one of the coolest action figures from the 1980s.

[@TheNightBadger]

BAT was one of my faves as a kid - the changeable arms felt like an extra play feature, and the lenticular chest made it more visually interesting. 'They wanted to do a chest hologram but it was too expensive'... and then a year or so later we had 'Visionaries' with chest holograms from Hasbro. I think the BAT might have been the original basis for the Visionaries figures!

[@violagreene4643]

Hoo rah! to the Slaughtress! Go get 'em, Mrs. HCC!

[@f.d.english5080]

I remember watching an episode of G.I. Joe not to long ago, where a B.A.T is dropped from (I think) the Night Ravens pod. Anyway The B.A.T. crashed through a barn's roof. As the B.A.T. comes out the barn it has a pitch fork in it's cheast. The B.A.T. looks up at the NRaven as it just leaves it sparking and on fire but still active (I thought it was very dramatic).....I thought the story was going to be about a defective B.A.T. getting it's revenge on Cobra for leaving it.....but then I sadly realized all the drama the scene had was to show the B.A.T.s were expendable. But hey that would have been a cool episode, a B.A.T. killing it's maker........

[@alexandremilliard4726]

They also imply the bats willfind his way back at cobra

[@JB0071051982]

Yes, that was the episode My Favorite Things from season 2. The B.A.T had been tasked with stealing a painting of Grigori Rasputin for Serpentor, since he was collecting items that belonged to him in past life's (since he was created from the DNA of many different military minds, leaders and authority figures). The B.A.T. was sliding down a mountain top where the Night Raven was flying below it. The intention was for the B.A.T. to land inside the pod, but the angle of its descent was not right, so it tossed the painting inside the pod before it crashed through the roof of the barn.

[@trapjaw7253]

When I was younger i had a small army of these guys.

[@bobastu]

I love your honesty in these vids! The BATs serve the same purpose as the battle droids in SW; both troopers are a way to show damage by lethal weapons, while still maintaining a child friendly experience! Personally, I too preferred a sense of realism, yet I accepted a lot of the sci-fi aspects of the comic. Starting with the Brainwave Scanner, I always imagined BATs had the transferred consciousness of a Cobra blue shirt or Viper, reduced down to basic needs. The idea of GI Joe having green shirts always rubbed me the wrong way. Expendable nameless (mostly) soldiers who became cannon fodder. Great review!

[@MCDJACDC]

Awesome!! Cannot wait for Cobra Convergence VI and JoeFest 22' !!!🍻🥃🤝🎧🎼🎵🎶

[@TheLordUrban]

In my head canon the BATs were Robocop style cyborgs. Cobra has a finite pool of manpower so they can’t let little things like catastrophic injuries keep their troops off the field.

[@juanelorriaga2840]

A friend of mine that lived in the same apt building as me we both were die hard joe fans and we both deleivered newpspers and when we got paid we’d go to the closet Toys R Us in Brooklyn and we would keep buying a BATS to make a bat army we also did the same with the EEL,Vipers,Blue cobra soliders,Crimson guard,etc and would pool them together we had a lot of fun and we recorded all our figures together on VHS and I know I have the tapes somewhere in the storage room in the basement of the Apt building I live in now.The BATS were my 2nd fav figure (No one beats “Hit N Run”)

[@gijoespanol]

Among all the 1985-86 cobra line-up, when I went to the toy store with mom, this figure was my first pick, I loved it. I remember we were playing at the backyard with some childhood friends and the hand attachment fell down from my grip and landed into some rubbish and small stones, I lost it from sight and I was hysterical and almost crying, finally I spotted it and I could calm down.

[@stevenjohansen3827]

I always thought that the B.A.T.S. were inspired more by Trap Jaw from He Man than Terminator.

[@hugoguardado2977]

[@andrewandrew4568]

Another great video (as always). The B.A.T.S. figure is very cool and well deserving of its favorite status. I wonder if its popularity led to the shift in GI Joe to more sci-fi and out there concepts or if that was just going to happen.

[@penguinsentinel8508]

I vividly remember having Overkill and his interchangeable hand and that backpack... oh boy I annoyed my family with that backpack.

[@chiripitio]

Excelente video amigo. Gracias por compartirlo

[@Toybountyhunter1974]

Have 3 B.A.T.S units myself. My original one that is played with but still complete. A second one bought off Ebay in pristine shape, and a B.A.T.S. Mk II in pristine shape. I always imagined that the original B.A.T.S. was like a walking tank. Very tough, extremely armored but slow with baseline intelligence. They could run just not very fast and they were able to figure out basic situations, but not much else. Small arms fire and even rifle fire would have little effect. Gotta use heavy weapons, Armor piercing etc. The MkII was more intelligent and faster and more agile but that was due to lighter armor. Small arms had little effect still but standard rifle fire was effective but the extra tactical skill the MkII had made them hard to handle. Both on the field made them a nightmare to deal with. I didnt care for Overkill so he never existed in my Joeverse.

[@equesfuscus]

Fun and amusing opening. Thanks.

[@marcryan1974]

[@rtd1409]

Beautiful I had to stop several times and catch my breath. The 1986 year for the figures was truly amazing and one of the final perfect series of figures in my opinion. I like 1987 but not as much as 1986 and 1985 were such pinnacles of design and they almost weave together so well like they should have all come out at one but were spread out on a two year set. I have almost always ran my B.A.T.S with the claw looked so great holding a Joe midair with it! When my Mom came home with some fresh figures from Thrifty across the street from us the B.A.T was one of the first I got as I recall and was so special I kept the full card with the Thrifty price tag still on it to this day! She threw a $10 on the table and told me to start trotting and see the huge bins full of the figures they just emptied out of the shipping cases. Vipers were also the order of the day that night!

[@frostysmoke37]

I beg to disagree, although 85 was a cool year, for me the 90 set was the coolest. Radical colored figures and every figure ess well done in design and look.

[@RomLoneWolf23]

The way I see it, both Mindbender and Scrap-Iron probably contributed to the creation of the B.A.T.s: Mindbender was the programmer who created the AI systems and other technologies that went into the B.A.T., but Scrap-Iron was the Engineer who built the actual body of the B.A.T. prototype.

[@joshuacote4863]

Deeeeeeamnnn i forgot about scrap iron. I liked that figure alot!

17:05 wow that prototype BAT arms like dope I wish they kept it like that and I love the black accessories instead of grey looks more intimidating

[@williamhiers1280]

Personally, I don't understand people's complaints about G.I. Joe becoming "too sci-fi." I've always associated sci-fi elements with the 80s toys. I am aware that when it first debuted it didn't have many, if any, sci-fi elements, but I find that era the least interesting as a result. Gimme B.A.T.s, Serpentor, and the Toxo-Vipers! I find that the mix of realistic and science-fictiony elements enhance one another.

[@jaymzmetalone]

I had the 1990 version and I loved it

[@ForgeMaciejewski]

[@classicactionfigures3454]

Loved the Battle Android Troopers ! I always considered them to be the natural evolution of the original S.N.A.K.E. project. They were great in the cartoon and in the comics. It makes total sense to me why Cobra Commander would have ordered these to be mass produced and deployed to attack G.I.Joe. Thank you HCC788 for doing such a great job on the review and for the entire Cobra Convergence IV event !

[@kdisley]

I had a B.A.T. as a kid, but I always used the "laser" attachment as a grenade launcher - it had a much bigger barrel, so I imagined those grenades on the chest could be dropped into the breach and fired like a mortar to give extra range. Besides anything else, it seemed a bit more feasible to me than an arm-sized laser weapon, given that most other figures in the range with lasers seemed to require a huge backpack power source, and the B.A.T. would need enough power just to function normally... it didn't seem like there'd be enough batteries stored inside it to power something which normally required a rucksack's worth (at least, not with enough space left over for its innards!). Clearly that logic doesn't work in the context of the cartoons, where everyone had a pocket laser gun for a sidearm, but I was always more of a comics guy...

[@r.shanethompson7933]

I always assumed it was a grenade launcher as well. Where is it confirmed to be a laser weapon?

[@tomservo5007]

the opening had a better plot than Dark Fate

[@RedneckOgre]

When I got the B.A.T. as a kid I wondered how the B.A.T. changed his own interchangeable hand and weapons on his right arm. He would have to take off whatever he had on his right arm with his left hand, set that down, then grab whichever thing he wanted on his right arm out of his backpack and install it with his left hand, then pick up the original thing he had sat down and store it in his backpack.

[@Gen1RedAlert]

[@timbentley778]

thank you for reviewing the bat from the question I asked 2 years ago

[@anthonysabularse8562]

Regarding your false memory about the Gun, maybe you got an error. They factory could have packed the gun by accedent. That's my tought. A friend of mine had a Road Blaster matchbox car with 2 back parts of the armore and no front part of the armor. That's why I think the B.A.T. you had as a kid came with an extra gun. I once saw a Yoyo with a cigarette bun fused to the glue betweem the card and the platic bubble. And the cigatte had a Chinese brand coz the letters used chinese characters. It was a brand i've never seen in my country.

[@johnnyruttley1598]

The B.A.T. also works great when you want a large battle without going bloodbath much like Samurai Jack Genndy Tartakovsky wanted a fight like Kill Bill's battle with the 88s just use robots and the concept carried to the expo fight in Iron Man 2, I get where you're coming from but the B.A.T. Does come across more rooted than say Cobra zombies atleast you can look at the field of robotics and think somewhere down the road that could be, just consider some the weapons back in the day that seem crazy fantasy but today reality
