As a huge Iron Grenadiers fan, I really like this BAT. It's an interesting potential tie-in to the new Skybound G.I. Joe comic series. I'm especially pleased that the IG BAT comes with the clear chest plate. That's going straight to one of my v1 Classified BATs, which is, IMO< *the* best figure of the entire Classified series. It was already a 10 and the OG-accurate chest plate will crank it to 11. And I think trading the black plate to the IG BAT will make it look even more wicked too. Now, bring on the Jungle and Desert BATs!
@@NeedlessThings Ouch. That's concerning. Seems like something that should've been double checked by Hasbro QC. I've seen a few fan-make BAT plates on Etsy (including black ones with Grenadiers logos). If the real thing doesn't work, I may have to shell out for 3rd party options.
That’s probably the coolest looking B.A.T. since the original. I’ve been holding off on collection classified, other than a few figures here and there, but this figure would look great with my regular and arctic BATS. If hasbro wanted to release their own comic version too, that would be cool!
@tomhenry9977 I doubt it's intentional. I'd I had to guess I'd say it's just the fact that they've produced the figure four times now and the tolerances are bound to change a bit.
so cool and i am sure there is going to be after market plate covers with logos soon.

Oddly enough the IG chest plates do not fit onto any of my older BATs.

I'm up for any BAT color variants Hasbro wants to release.
I’m assuming the clear chest plate would work with the older bats, but did you happen to double check? I might purchase one to put on my OG bat…
Surprisingly, the chest plates on mine DO NOT fit on any of the other BATs I have. They're a little small and don't stay in place.
@ wow, I’m glad I didn’t impulse buy, thanks for the heads up

I bet we get a retro bat and they reuse the clear chest plate on him
I hope so.
