From what has been said, they don't plan on doing a "major resculpt" of the faction. New Seed Soldiers and a few other things, but no new aesthetic or the like.

They look really good. I don't need more Order Sergeants, but they look good.
As for the Shasvastii pilot, they showed a pilot capsule for the Sphinx in the art book. Maybe they're going to include that with the Raicho pilot. It seems kind of silly to make a pilot for an unmanned weapon though.

It's kind of silly to have Tech-Bees, who are supposed to be technicians not combat engineers, getting a unit...but here we are.

To which I would agree with you. I find the Tech-Bees silly as a whole. They seem better suited to military propaganda than a battlefield.

Truthfully, it seems like CB is just amazingly hesitant to admit they screwed up and would rather throw new units at problems than new profiles.

In scale that base is about 50" wide. Those Order Sergeants are practically doing the splits. Don't believe me? Go stand like that with your feet that far apart. Not so comfortable, eh? It should be easily correctable. They are very nice minis, at least from what we can tell from a video. MO players ought to be pleased with the upgrade.

Cannot unsee.
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

They are pretty boring models honestly. Nice design and great painting, but they remind me of the Ltd. Ed. Crane and some of the Bakunin starter in terms of lack of posing imagination.

Good god! How many other Infinity minis have been like that the whole time? This is as bad is poopy pants space marines.

Seems like most TAG's now have a specialist profile on their existing one. Interestinlgy the Iguana can now voluntarily disembark his TAG due to the fact that he now actually possesses the Pilot special skill.

How do these new Remote Pilots work? Are they little drones that eject out of TAGs or something? Or are they just little Remotes that hang around with the TAGs? I noticed that they're actually classed as Remotes, too.
I'd imagined REM pilots can be deployed and unlike the real counterpart, there's no risk of permanently losing the TAG, if they go down. As Barzam noted, they are REM and hence have STR with FAR weaker gear as well.
Edit: It would seem PanO got the crabbiest deal of them all, expected.

Rules are in the latest (v 1.3) ITS scenario PDF. However, to quote:
ITS RULES wrote:Due to the TAGLINE project, small, semi-autonomous, auxiliary
remote action devices have been installed in every mecha-
nized unit, which the pilot can detach and operate from her
TAG or Vehicle, increasing the versatility of these units when
accomplishing objectives.
-The Remote Pilot rule applies to TAGs with the Special Skill
G: Remote Presence or G: Mnemonica.
-Also, the TAG pilots have received special training to adapt to
the new situation created by the TAGLINE project.
-TAGs which have the Special Skill: Manned and have a Troop
Profile with the Pilot skill have said Pilot profile modified.
There is also a new skill. Interesting, but more rules. Ugh. I dislike the killer hacking device ( it's bloat), so naturally I dislike seeing it on a TAG pilot. However, these changes does make taking a TAG more interesting than before, so overall I say it is a good thing.
Just please, oh please no super-sized TAGs. (Like the super-sized units we see in other TTG games. Apparently Wyrd is now infected by this sort of silliness.)

I was referring to the Colossals in Warmachine-Hordes, or the Imperial Knights(?) in 40k, and things like that. Toy sized *miniatures*. Maggie is big, but not that much bigger than before.
