Stormtrooper is the best one so far. 

Gristle remains an outlier for this set.  He should have been teal as well to match the other two figures already shown.

Wonder why they had to use Rock Viper (Metal Head v2) legs?

I'm happy with that Stormtrooper. Much better than the Headhunter and its teal overload.

I still don't like the Stormtroopers body. The arms are too low.

I saw your post before to see the pic... and I think you have an expression in English for this... it is an understatement!!!

What were they thinking about  ???  Now you pointed that out, I can't see anything else... but those "low arms".  ::)

Yeah, HHST is from the same generation as Mirage, with oddly low arms.

I actually like the BAT more than I thought I would.

HATE the overlord legs, though.

Don't hate or love the figure. I like the color and the fact that they used the interchangeable v1 arms.

Had they not used the v1 lower arms, parts and backpack, this figure would be a total failure.

So we know all the v1 parts exist except for the torso.

head - club
upper arms - whiteout/frostbite
lower arms - club
waist and legs - vipers

They could have used all these parts and just the v2 chest, but I guess it was not meant to be. I suppose the club wanted to give the bats a different look, and these parts wouldn't work with the metallic/gray color. So they had to use the parts they did.
