New images are dropping ahead of Toyfair this weekend. Courtesy of Brickseek, we have our first look at Voyager Springer and Thundercracker and new images of the previously revealed Deluxe Red Alert and Leader Class “Galaxy Upgrade” Optimus Prime. Only one image of each are shown thus far. Specifically, Springer is only shown here in helicopter mode.
Check out the images after the jump and stay tuned for more reveals during our Toyfair coverage this weekend!
Update 02/15/2019 2:45am EST: Thanks to 2005 Boards Member Jtprime17, Sweaty Ruxpin of Twitter; who did some digging on the Brickseek website, we now have even more images of the aforementioned toys. You can check them out, after the jump.

Mine says Monday for me. Hasn't shipped yet though. I hope it still happens.

I got mine from them a little over a week ago.
August 2nd to be exact.

Does foreshortening not exist at your aerospace company?
Grouch
Alright!

I got my Thundercracker from Amazon yesterday, so I'm hopeful for you!

Did anyone else get a shipping notification for Siege Thundercracker from Amazon? I got one today and should have him by tomorrow. The listing didn’t have him available until 9/1. They probably sent something else in error? We shall see.

They look the same to me

Working for an aerospace company I would think you’d be more concerned about the tail rotor that’s actually a car tire. LOL!

Working for an aerospace company, it is hard for me to get over the fact that Springer\'s rotor blades are not the same length. (One is long and one is short.) I hope he\'s got vertical thrust jets or something to keep him in the air. Lol

Yeah, definitely. Those are where it belongs, rather than random surfaces, and it makes Springer look much more realistic and believably worn.

I'm not sure how I feel about Springer's chin. For the rest I remain cautiously optimistic because I am not sure how the final copy will look like in the paint department (this is ofcourse handpainted).
Thundercracker looks suprisingly good; I dig the blue they went with. In robot mode I think I like him better than Starscream (which is partly due to that cheap grey plastic on Starscream).

Siege Starscream was available On Amazon ? Not 3P but Amazon
Windsweeper II
We will if they ever release him without battle damage.
But he does look great.

We will never see a better Classics Springer. Unbelievably perfect in every way.

These are all must have Transformers toys for anybody and everybody\'s collection. Happy pre-orders.

Pretty sure it’s a painted prototype, there are little areas here and there that clearly show grey plastic. HasTak always excel in head department anyway, so I have faith in them getting it right.
Edwardmus Prime
Is Springer a painted prototype or a production model? I'm wondering because the detail is a bit soft in the head and hopefully it's just obnoxiously thick paint messing with it.
TFXProtector
Too many preorders, too many places, too many times. Can't keep it all straight! Geez. (I love options, though!)

I like how Hasbro appears to be getting better at the "battle damage" effect. With the earlier figures it just looked like random splatter but with Springer and Skytread and a few newer ones it seems more focused. It's on the edges and in the crevices of the figures. Places you would expect to see wear and tear IMO.
