Sweet looking figure, and great parts choices...but it just dosn't feel like a BAT to me... It's missing that something that would work as a call-out to previous bats and tie it in with them. |

I love everything else, but the visor is throwing me off.

I agree with it not feeling like a BAT. Love the design though. |

I think the visor is my favorite part. Glad to see Overkill get a nice minion. I still love what you did with my destroyer head man. |

I'm having a similar issue to pluv's and nova's regarding the head. Even though Ultron's a robot, he's one with a lot of personality that's largely present in his head/face design. Covering the eyes with a visor helps obscure those distinctive features, but it also gives the impression that the robot is now protecting either it's eyes or it's identity, neither of which I expect a B.A.T. would be aware of, much less concerned about. The figure overall is excellent, but I feel like the head gives it too much character for what you want it to be. |

I'm leaning toward the "too striking to be JUST a BAT" opinion, but that's just because it's such a great design and well made figure. Wonderful work as always. |

I have to agree. Love the design and it's beautifully done, but every time I look at it all I see is Ultron. As a BAT, I'm not feeling it, but as a new Ultron design, it kicks all kinds of ass. |

i appreciate all the comments and Critiques but i wanted to go outside the box of the traditional BAT and make it my own really just utilizing the general idea of a Flying Battle Android Trooper and its for a member on another forum and his request was to make a new Bat so thats what i did as per the visor i figured on the design that in flight it would help protect against flying debri ect. and act as another type of sensor |

Okay,I love the design here but feel that the color choice is a little drab.Feels more like a prototype.I would go with a metallic blue with some metallic red or burgundy highlights/accents. |

I agree with what a number of other members mentioned about it not feeling like a "bat". I do not think this takes away from the quality of this custom at all. It looks awesome!! When I first opened the thread, I was ready to see "another bat", but was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. |
