COBRA B.A.T. SQUAD LEADER

– Modern Era Character Update with NEW Head Sculpt!

Hmmm… do I see a 1991 BAT v2 design in this Joe Con 2017 preview? I believe I do!
There’s not a lot of surprises in this reveal as the BAT v2 design is a classic that has yet to have a good update in the generation 3 era. With a set that is going to be chock-full of mechanical Cobra troops, I was going to be surprised if we DIDN’T see this design presented. However, I like the new head sculpt with is a very faithful recreation of the original. (This design hasn’t been used since 2003’s BAT troop builder packs!) Plus, with the title of “Squad Leader” there’s only going to be one of this mechanical menace in the set.
Hmm… now that just begs the question: what will the other Cobra BAT’s look like?
With the reveal of Battle Force 2000 Maverick, this makes two reveals down– more to come!
