==Lost Protectors==

===Development===
Astroblast was designed by [[Rik Alvarez]] with the help of [[Mark Wong]]. He was initially developed under the name Astroburst, but it was changed to Astroblast early on. His Tech Drone was originally designed to simply turn from weapons to a scout vehicle, but was later developed to also form a simple humanoid robot by Mark Wong.

Astroblast line art was first revealed online in September 2014.<REF>http://tformers.com/play-with-this-too-reveal-designs-for-astroblast-figure/24806/news.html</REF>

More art of Astroblast, including color illustrations, was displayed at Retrocon 2014.

Ankhor, Astroblast and Goldminer were initially announced to be stretch goals in the Lost Protectors Kickstarter, but they did not end up being among those goals when the campaign was launched.
