Hasbro Unveils G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback B.A.T. 

Enhance your G.I. Joe Classified Series collection with some brand new releases from Hasbro as the war rages on with Cobra 

The Cobra B.A.T. is one of the most fearsome and iconic troopers in Cobra's technologically enhanced ranks. These Battle Android Troopers were first introduced in the mid-80s and are fully robotic infantry soldiers with a cold killing personality. Their arms can be modified into a variety of deadly weapons to take on the G.I. Joes, like flamethrowers, claw hands, and even laser blasters. Collectors have seen B.A.T. figures before but are now back for a new G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback release.

Enhance your Cobra army with this rerelease that features the Battle Android Trooper in a classic deco and a retro cardback packaging. A nice set of accessories is included as well, with battle-damaged head and chest plates, a pistol, and an assortment of swappable weapon hands. These figures are a nice throwback to the classic 1980s G.I. Joe line, but now in the updated 6" format with sweet articulation, accessories, and packaging. The G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback B.A.T. is priced at $24.99, pre-orders are live on Hasbro Pulse, and are set for a December 2025 release.

They also have an unfortunate tendency to burst into flame when hit from behind…"
