First hand painted prototype pictures of Boneyard. This figure is hand painted by Jason Brehn. Of particular coolness is the paint detail on Boneyard's robot head, check out the teeth on the helmet in the second picture:

We have our first look at a render of the second design for the upcoming Kickstarter Redux. Jetstrike is a foul-mouthed, bad boy fighter pilot in flying Protector armor in the Lost Protectors universe. According to posts by Play With This Too expect the Kickstarter to begin in September 2015.

Are there going to be the actual robots inside the Pretender Shells or no?

Nope. Check out this vid for their first attempt.

They're more stand-alone deluxe-sized action figures with a good level of articulation, 5mm ports + attachments, and an accompanying smaller "transformable" robot (very simplistic engineering, almost 1980's Micromaster-level).

They have actually said they are completely re-engineering the Tech Drones to be more like Arms Microns. We have not seen the new robots yet, but they will attach to the backs or form weapons for the larger figures. Targetmaster-like.

That would be a welcome upgrade. Even if the alt/weapon-modes aren't really good, as long as the robot modes have a much better resemblance to their vintage designs they won't look like afterthoughts to the Pretender action figure.

I found a nice image comparing the new painted Boneyard figure to the old painted Desolataur figure.
