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 tend to agree here. I think it is the visor. It isn't quite BAT/robot enough. 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.
