Skeletron never appeared in the Battle Action Force comics, popular theory on BFTB when I was on there was it was a prototype for what became Muton.

I know Brechin designed the Skeletron to be the Roboskull pilot (Brechin also initially gave Skeletron the name of Roboskull, until management told him to name the vehicle Roboskull), but what was Skeletron's role in the Red Shadows cannon? Wasn't it a robot that Baron Ironblood just had made?
Can one of you original AF fans expand on Skeletron? Thanks!!! He is a mysterious new enemy creature, created by Baron Ironblood’s laboratories. He works alongside the evil “Kraken” with the aim of defeating “ACTION FORCE” It was pretty much left to people's imagination what they wanted him to be. At the 2013 Roll Out Roll Call Convention they did produce a custom Skeletron which came with a bio saying: Name: Skeletron Code Name: Series K Serial No: IBLAB/SK-79/1 Created: Ironblood Laboratories, Matto Grosso, South America Life Expectancy: Immortal (Action Force scientists are trying to find a way to destroy the Skeletron) Primary Military Speciality: Terror and Destruction Secondary Military Speciality: Hazardous Environments The Baron captured and brainwashed two eminent scientists to create the first Skeletron (IBLAB/SK-79-1), a Series K ELEmental Terror Razing Operational Non-human. The Skeletron is constructed from an indestructible compound developed in the Ironblood laboratories. Its atomic powered exoskeleton is controlled by the brain taken from a dead Red Shadow. Although programmed to obey the Baron the Skeletron can sometimes be unpredictable and follow its own instincts. Designed to cause terror and destruction it can operate in any environment from the vacuum of space to the ocean depths. It is rumoured that the Baron has unleashed more Skeletrons, even using the brains of dead Action Force recovered from the field of battle. "Death is no obstacle to the armies of the Baron!" I hope they add at least some red to the body to tie it in to the rest of the Red Shadows |

It is a cool backstory for Skeletron and ties in well with how the Red Shadows operated under Baron Ironblood, but I don't know who wrote it so it could be considered fan fiction rather than canon.
It would be great if Bob Brechin wrote a bio for this figure based on what his ideas were when he originally designed the character. |

There will be a backerkit and it likely wont be out until early January 2022. Obviously the more you do now - better chance the last stretch goal has to unlock
