1986 B.A.T.S.: Cobra Android Trooper
Includes: backpack with storage for separate laser, torch and gripper arm attachments, right hand
The BATS came with four interchangeable arm attachments.
My favorite is the claw.
B.A.T. attack! Even the strongest of the Joes doesn't have a chance against the battle android trooper in hand-to-claw combat!

Filecard information:
B.A.T.S. are the perfect Cobra Troopers. They never question orders, complain about the chow, shirk duty, or surrender. They require no leave-time, sick-pay, or benefits of any kind, and they are cheap and easy to replace. On the other hand, B.A.T.S. do not react very well to changes in field conditions, nor do they discriminate between targets. They will shoot at anything that moves, be it friend, foe or animal. They also have an unfortunate tendency to burst into flame when hit from behind...
"B.A.T.S. are dangerous to everybody. They'll shoot, bayonet or kick anything in sight, Cobra Infantrymen don't like to be on the same battlefield with B.A.T.S. When a Cobra unit is losing a battle they will dispense B.A.T.S. into the midst of the firefight in order to evacuate the area easily."
