I love B.A.T.s.
I love them in the morning.
I love them in the evening.
I love them stompin on some Joes.
But the 25th version just doesn't belong in the ME.
So I went about updating them. Gone is the backpack, gone are the multiple arm attachments, gone is that garish yellow (mostly). The overall body is that of a DG Cobra officer, I removed the arms and replaced them with thhose from a BAT. The head was also replaced with a head from a BAT, just to retain something that said "BAT". On the back I placed the back vest from a jungle viper. I thought this might be a good idea because the old file card said this was a weak spot. On his chest I placed a back-pack from a Clone Wars flame thrower trooper. My idea is that this is added hard-drive/memory and it is incased in a heavy duty bulllet proof casing which also gives the BAT that much more protection. This can be removed to either upload mission specific data or to download data for counter intelligence and assessment.
The only other thing I might add is some sort of numerical designation to the front and back. I might also move the neck up and back a bit. As it is now it looks like the hunch-back.
