(...) Just an FYI, Only the torso and arms are Battle Droid parts. The Legs are actually more organic and bent at the knee. The are still fuzed like the BD lets though. Eric Kingsley The New England LEGO Users Group (URL) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.year.2001)

Hehe, I personaly like the battle droid "figs" but the legs would be ALOT beter if they wern't attached together... Now the alien figs, that's another story, LEGO could have done better. I'd think they'd look rather robotic with those BD parts, but (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.year.2001)

I can't imagine that this hasn't been discussed, but I don't see anything on it. Now that the battle droid bodies are being used for the martians, I expect that they are here to stay. Hence, we need a general name for the whole class of figures. I (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.year.2001)
