These have to be fake. Hasbro would have made this site remove the pics, it's something they do when early pics get put out because it's a misreprentation of final product. Besides I really hope they're fake, Major Bludd and Roadblock look really weak
They are not fake. They are early prototypes. Leaks like this happen all the time on our sister site-tfw2005.com. Certain things are taken down when its far too early, but since these are early and most likely already changed, they may have decided to let it stay up.

These are someones home made customs, they are not wave 8. not a chance, they aren't going to push back major bludd to wave eight to have him be zartan with a major bludd head, whoever made these mockups is a decent customizer but that is all.
No, these are legit, but very early. No one has said how early, but its quite possible the figures in question look completely different now. We will find out next month. I wouldn't doubt it. Last year, nearly every final product Hasbro put out looked far better than their prototypes and figures shown in package. Look at all the anniversary figure solicits. Notice the figures with exposed hinges all over the place, compared to the actual final figure. Huge differences. I'm talking about the molds themselves, not the photoshopped airbrush weathering they put on nearly every package photo. Even some of the wave 5 pre order solicits had the prototypes featured, and you've all seen how much better the actual figures are compared to those pictures. Leaks like this are nothing new. I'm just surprised these guys got leaked this early.

If these pics are real, they aren't official Hasbro pics of production figures, either (they look like old mock-ups for idea pitching and design ideas).
Correct. In fact they could be months old. Remember guys, toys are generally designed 1 year before they hit stores.

C'mon, all repaints this a joke right?
Remember, DESTRO said this was not the complete wave.
