What about a BA Faker and a BA cat?

[Khror]

With the release of BA He-Man and the probably future release of BA Skeletor, I was just wondering if any of you would be interested in a Battle Armor Faker or a Battle Armor cat (Armored Battle Cat)?
I know this would be totally new but why not after all?

I think for my part that I would be interested in a BA Faker for sure!
And about a BA cat, it would depend on the design but the idea could be interesting

So, what about a BA Faker and a BA cat? Would you be interested? I would be interested in BA Faker only

[Edited] PS :... sorry, I've just red in the Q/A from around the net that the question about BA Faker had been directly asked to MAttel :

I voted for the choice that mentions BA She-Ra. It would be cool to get a BA variant of her because she could definitely use it on Etheria. Not to necessarily shoot you down, but Faker's kinda the last guy who needs battle armor. He's a robot for crying out loud!

He doesn't have any vital organs to protect or anything like that. If anything, he is the battle armor for the other bad guys. Also, Battle Cat already has armor if that's what you were proposing. I don't know how much more armor you could put on that kitty without making him look like the 200X version.

All in all, I'm trying to say Battle Armor is a bit justified for certain characters. Teela, yes. Man-At-Arms, not so much. Also BA Blast-Attak would be flat-out ridiculous and albeit contradictory.

Peace.

I wouldn't mind it IF it was done right and in the MOTUC series not some other series or format.

Indeed, I think you are right
Maybe an "evolution" of Faker just to look like He-Man in BA since he has to look like him could be justified…

For Battle cat, yes he already has an armor as you said.
So maybe BA cat is not the right name... but since we see He-Man in different versions, maybe it could be possible to have the same for Battle cat.

[EuroCoin]

Not interested, but would not oppose as a bonus figures.

[Mr. Shokoti]

I'm not too big on a BA Faker since he's already made of metal or a BA Battle Cat since it drudges up visions of the, imho, awful 2002 Battle Cat design.

Although, considering I want an Astronaut Queen Marlena, who am I to stand in the way of your MOTUC dreams?

[Benedict Judas Hel]

No thanks on both. More steel on an automaton already made of steel? Sorry, too out there even for MOTU. And full armor on a cat whose main strengths are speed, agility and fluidity all which are greatly reduced when wearing bulky and heavy iron coverings? Nope. That's like putting armor on the dexterous Web Head, Spider-Man. Oh, they did that? Numerous times? Okay, bad example. But you get what I'm trying to say.

[triklops3eyes]

Battle Armor Faker only if it's a bonus figure. If it is going to take the place of an already well known varient like Thunder Punch He-Man or Dragon Blaster Skeletor then no.

[Multibot]

maybe for bonus figures or something. As long as it doesn't take the spot of a new character.

For Battlecat, just make the 200x armor for a weapons pack or something. I'd rather just have new characters than more varients of characters we already have.

[MegaGearMax]

He doesn't have any vital organs to protect or anything like that. If anything, he is the battle armor for the other bad guys.

If anything, I think Faker would wear Battle Armor more to mimic He-Man, rather than for protection. Trouble is, where do we draw the line? Thunder Punch Faker? Flying Fists Faker? Snake Armor Faker? Ice Armor Faker? Perhaps a key difference is that He-Man can change into his variants on the spot...Faker has no such ability.

Also, Battle Cat already has armor if that's what you were proposing. I don't know how much more armor you could put on that kitty without making him look like the 200X version.

BA Battle Cat IS his normal look!

The 200X look, which has less armor on the head, but more on the paws is more like an animal's barding. You don't put a helmet on a horse.

All in all, I'm trying to say Battle Armor is a bit justified for certain characters. Teela, yes. Man-At-Arms, not so much. Also BA Blast-Attak would be flat-out ridiculous and albeit contradictory.

MOTUC Man-At-Arms, although armed, is his default look. His normal everyday look. Imagine MAA gearing up for something serious?

I think an even more armored Man-At-Arms would be a classicized version of his 200X outfit. Just replace the green spandex with a new 200X bodysuit parts, give him his 200X Shoulder pad, Blue BFG arm canon and even more weapons.

No thanks on both. More steel on an automaton already made of steel? Sorry, too out there even for MOTU.

Roboto would like to talk to you...

Classic Battle Cat would also like to talk to you...

[Benedict Judas Hel]

Roboto would like to talk to you...

As long as it's only Roboto and not Battle Armor Roboto. Although, he must have had some plastic chest piece in the mini-comics to account in being able to see his inner gears.

Classic Battle Cat would also like to talk to you...

As long as it's Filmation Battle Cat. That 200X version just wouldn't shut up. He'd just keep on yammering away...

[MegaGearMax]

BA Roboto could be Roboto downloading himself for extreme missions into a bigger, tougher body with more weapons that looks like 200X Roboto.

Then that would be WMD Roboto rather than BA Roboto. Roboto already has his battle armor on. Didn't he start off as a chess playing construct (Deep Blue)? So, as Roboto he is already "Battle Armor" Roboto.

[Jii Dee]

The only battle armours i'd be interested in is Skeletor and Faker. I agree with MGMs comment that Faker adopting Battle Armour would be to mimick He-Man, but since hes such a classic varient and the tooling will already exist, i think i'd go in for that. PLus faker rocks. Having said that i don't think its an idea that should be extended to every he-man varient under the sun.

As for BA Man-At-Arms being a classicized 200x MAA. I would SO go for that. Give him a big ass shoulder armour peice and that giant arm gun. I love those 2 design features of the 200x Man At Arms and it would definately work for a Battle Armour Duncan.

I agree that roboto wouldn't need any additional armor. Just the chest piece the 200x figure came with. Except for the time when Rattlor escaped & roboto wound up shooting himself a bunch of times... he could have used some BA for that occasion.

IMO, He-man doesn't even need additional armor...why would the most powerful man in the universe need protection? He can beat anyone, & anything thrown at him. I could see the villans trying out new gear to make attempts (although futile ones at that) to beat He-man.

oh, yeah.... 200x Battlecat didn't talk...filmation Battlecat was quite the chatterbox though.

IMO Faker & Battlecat are fine as they are...if anything, they should make the 200x armor for Battlecat later down the line.

He-Man might be the most powerful man in the universe, but his enemies are probably the most powerful villains in the universe. I'd expect them to always step up with new power-ups (variants), warriors or plans to overcome He-Man's strengths. And whenever they do this, He-Man steps up.

IMO Faker & Battlecat are fine as they are...if anything, they should make the 200x armor for Battlecat later down the line.

If 200X Battle Cat isn't popular enough, if they do a Battle Lion, we could switch armor from him onto a Standard Battle Cat.

[Benedict Judas Hel]

WMD Roboto is cool...

Finally, we agree. Let us celebrate this momentous occasion by the adding of chocolate to milk.

[Molgran]

BA Faker...dont make me laugh

[Daniel Lynch]

Battle Armor Faker would make for an awesome bonus figure.

I do hope to get a Battle Lion for King Grayskull at some point (Battel Cat with the 200x armor) and that will fulfill that need for me.

But what about Faker Cat??

ahhh, yes. Gotcha.

He-Man might be the most powerful man in the universe, but his enemies are probably the most powerful villains in the universe. I'd expect them to always step up with new power-ups (variants), warriors or plans to overcome He-Man's strengths. And whenever they do this, He-Man steps up.

I guess you're right about He-man needing to step it up....

I was always of the belief that He-man was all powerful in his standard garb & never needed any 'added assistance' in terms of special armors & such. Even as a kid, I kind of felt that way. As cool as the BA, TP, etc. were, they never used them in the series (which i would have loved to have seen done), so i just felt it was a way to make a new toy, and nothing more. I never believed any of his enemies could match his strength, and he always seemed to overcome any magic thrown at him, so imo he never needed 'power-ups' imo. becoming He-man IS his power up.
not to say i won't buy any of the varients though, because they're still ultra-cool! And like pokemon, i gotta catch them all.... lol

the only time i could see He-man needing new armors would be if he were facing venomous enemies like the snakemen, to protect him from being bit. Even that version had bare skin showing, as if He-man were taunting the snakemen or something. If I were going up against giant venomous serpent people I'd be wearing full body armor & a helmet like back in the days of king Arther, & take no chances. He-man is one cocky s.o.b.

Another varient that really cracks me up was the 200x ice armor. He's supposed to be dressed for the cold weather, yet his chest is bare and he's still got no pants! Now that is hardcore extreme!!! They make 'em tough in Eternia don't they?

I agree completly about Battle lion.... KG needs his steed. I'd rather they make Battle Lion than another Battlecat at this point. I'll take a new character over a varient of one I have (or will be getting) anyday. hopefully BL's helmet will fit on BC, if they go with the 200x armor for him. And if they make him.

[Uki]

I'd rather get previously existing versions of characters such as Jungle Attack He-Man, Snake Armor MAA, Snake-Teela, Dragon Blast Skeletor, Hurricane Hordak, or even any She-Ra or Catra variation.

If, after all of those were made, Mattel gave us a BA Faker, that would be cool. Battle Cat is already wearing armor, though. (His 200X armor could work as his NA look, though!) I am also chomping at the thought of that sculpt as Battle Lion and Clawdeen. (I really want Cringer and Catra's pather form also.)

[SAMURAI36]

I would love a BA She-Ra, or even Horde Armor She-Ra, since He-Man had the Snake Armor in 200X.

Though I love her look, She-Ra does need some variations on armor, and I'm not talking about that silly "Star-Bubble" stuff or whatever.

Ice Armor Faker? Perhaps a key difference is that He-Man can change into his variants on the spot...Faker has no such ability.

I get what you're both saying, but if He-Man's able to change his attire on the spot, it would be a bit of a moot point for Faker to run back to Snake Mountain, change into the new get-up and run back to the fight to find He-Man's changed costumes again. If Faker's just changing his costume to look like the one He-Man had on before to try to fools people and if he doesn't have a way to mask that blue skin or pull the same thing Filmation had with him, folks on Eternia are a bit dumber than the citizens of Metropolis when it comes to people wearing eye glasses.

It would be a fun bit where Faker has some type of AI and demands Tri-Klops makes him a costume to match what He-Man had before.

But what about Faker Cat??

That would be really cool. I like the blue eyes: they're kinda creepy. There's a way for Faker to make the whole ensemble. Sure any blacksmith or tailor can make some nifty He-Man duds and put them on the next buff guy to pass him off as He-Man. How many folks on Eternia ride around on a giant, battle-armored tiger?

[Evil_Horde]

Not for me...I would only BA He-man and Skeletor!
