I'm impressed, you've done very well for the readability of this piece!
You've done a good job simplifying the shading and using color to suggest shape, they're waaay easier to make out than they were before, even at 1x zoom (especially the green guy with the big gun, great improvement!). You also did a great job simplifying the level of detail while keeping true to the original designs.
The only thing I would take another look at would be the one with the wings on his back, who seems to be turning away from the viewer (I think?). The pose he's making makes it kind of hard to see what he's doing, and some of the shading on him looks a bit smudgy, particularly the wings and shoulderpads.
Other than that (and including that, too,) you've done a fantastic job improving this piece, and I hope to see more from you in the future. Keep up the good work!
Canned Bland- Thank you very much for the support and the example , I'll edit this piece with your explanations , I really appreciate an explanation as good , I believe that with your help, I can improve my work as a rookie , thank you ^^
I'm gonna disagree with most folk and say that the amount of colors per sprite isn't what's holding this piece back, but rather your style of shading. This type of shading with the highlight and colors radiating outwards from it is really better used on larger sprites, because they have more room for the radiation to spread out. On small sprites, though, you want to simplify shapes and blobs of color as much as possible to improve readability, and avoid unessecary noise as much as you can. The style of shading you're using is, by nature, a bit noisy (although it's less noticeable on larger sprites). So what I would suggest to do is try to bring the level of detail down a little and avoid those radiating highlights, and it ought to help clarify your sprite's shapes a bit.
I made an edit of the orange dude to try and show what I mean:

Souly- Yes , I have to pay much attention to the palette , why now is my Achilles heel , I have to work much more in that aspect , thank you for the comment ^^ , I will try to republish this work as soon as possible before moving on to other
Mima Larez- Aaaaah hahahaaha XD , yes , I work with photoshop , and I've used zoom 800% to create this pixel , seeing it here I see my faults , I will try to correct it in future work , as the game screen was very small I don't left room for a larger robot , but I think Chrispy has given me a good solution to improve this work , I hope to do better in the next time.
Certainly could limit your color use a bit more.
Other than that I love all the designs.
heh no problem -> MS paint have max 8x zoom this is 800% zoom...the idea of a joke -> your work must be done under the microscope 150x zoom is 150, 000% zoom :D it seem to not good conditions for work :D
Chrispy- thank you very much,I think you're right, now that I see here, I will have to be more attentive to such things, thanks ^^.
I think there's too many colors on the sprites, making them difficult to read.
Canned Bland- Thank you very much , I did what you could with your help ^^ , I think some of these design of "mech" would be better changing or removing parts , Next time I'll do better taking into account my previous failures , again thank you very much for the great help ^^ , I hope to do better in the next work ;3 , greetings ^^ .
