The Exoskeleton has seen the most drastic change, as it's essentially a completely different design. I wanted to capture the essence of this machine being super cheap cannon fodder (like filth) and a base for other machines, which means it's barebones, only possessing metal and flesh.
Old design:

The Guardian's new style reflects that it's a machine quickly put together in retaliation to enemy intrusions. This means its equipment consists of cheap recycled parts, like solar panels as shields. It also actually looks like a machine built by the sentry guys now
Old design for comparison:

The Reapermachine now actually looks like a scrappy Swordsmachine that uses advanced technology based on the TERMINA program from Regenesis. It has torn apart its mechanical restrictions on the flesh to allow modifying itself better.
Old design for comparison:

I made Y1 look much more broken down and bloodied to fit with its current backstory of being a machine stuck in Hell long before the machine invasion; it's been fighting here forever. Not much to say apart from that. It's mostly still the same design and pose.
Old design for comparison:

SO IT IS FIREFOX! SHIT!

trying on a different web browser

Are You Fucking Kidding

For those wondering i was gonna post this image (without the aseprite UI, im just taking a screenshot in case its the image itself that is somehow fucked)

Every time i try to post here, something goes wrong 😭😭😭

(4/4) Old designs for comparison.

(3/4) The Guardian been completely revamped, looking more like it was made by the sentry guys. light blade's gone, as in-lore it was quickly put together.
Instead of a riot shield, it now uses moving solar panel arms, that will move around the machine to protect it.
The shields can be broken, ofc

(2/4) The Reapermachine keeps its Katana Man inspiration and high-tech style, while looking much more broken down and scrappy, as a Swordsmachine should be. Its flesh has torn through the metal shell and systems that contained it before, in order to "mod" itself more easily.
It uses bones as armor.

A vicious cycle i havent been able to get out of for nearly a decade
