That TAG is most differently a Tikbalang. Only Pano TAG that we have been shown some proper concept art fore, and don't forget the voting on its color scheme.

Uh, the Seraph was in the Infinity Art Book--and in the Human Sphere book as well.
Plus the Tikbalang had the fuel reservoir on the back feeding into the flamethrower on the left hand side, while if you look this thing is carrying just one gun and it's on the right hand.

Also - aren't the Tikbalang, Uhlan and Seraph all series 3 TAGs? They'll probably all look similar.

Thats pinup art, not concept art. There is a difference. Its made to look nice, not as a tool for sculpting or as a reference for colors for the painter.
You're aware that the "pin up art" is done as part of the concept art phase for Corvus Belli, yes?
Gecko is a great example of this.
Sometimes CB doesn't show the actual "concept art" that they use.
Plus the Tikbalang "special character" has been put on the backburner for awhile, they're trying to decide if they want to do it as a single set or a double box with a Tikbalang.
...ah. And knowing you I assume you have a rock solid source for that (regardless of whether you choose to share that)? That's a shame.
I'd really prefer one or two option bits for a tikbalang, but that doesn't feel like their modus operandi, sadly.
...so that will mean us PanO players will compulsively own eight, rather than seven, TAGs in a year or so?
Oddly fine with that, really

For which part?
If it's the concept art part, it's pretty easy to see since the art book had pin up art...which necessitated the full development process before the pin up art stage is hit. If the Tikbalang part, that's something which was reported by someone from not too long ago.

No guarantees.
Personally I would not be surprised to see the Tikbalang released as a double box with bits for Toni, or as a single box and Toni possibly being a Bootleg model or CB trying something new and selling the bits for Toni by themselves and requiring you to buy a Tikbalang.
Or they could just release a pair of Tikbalangs and that's it. Toni doesn't have anything that would require new bits, his loadout is the same aside from also being a Minelayer. Unless, of course, they've confirmed Toni will be visually different.
Given a choice, I think most would opt for Eduardo first, and just use it as a 'counts as' regular tikbalang. However you can field a tik and Toni.... so maybe a double like the geckos?
Is the Tikbalang's loadout that much different from the Dragao? Judging by the concept art/lineart, it looks pretty much the same. So what sets them apart exactly? And why not just use the Dragao as a Tikbalang proxy?
Anyway, that blob, it looks like it has wings and might potentially have a loincloth, too. My money is on it being a Seraph.

You are aware that there is concept art for the gecko right?
What amuses me about you is that you show the pin up art but not the actual concept art of the Gecko thats in the same book right besides it. Gecko art page 73, gecko final concept art page 72. It is literately impossible to miss since they are right beside each other.
You should maybe start putting al the facts on the table and not just the parts that fits your story?
Kan was just using the pin-up art of the Gecko to show that sometimes the miniature very closely resembles it, rather than just resembling the concept art (re. the Seraph, as some clue as to what that miniature will look like).

You do realise that to get to the pin up stage, they have to have gone through the concept stage right? Otherwise they don't have a concept to base the pin up on.
Think before leaping to attack someone just because their informed opinion doesn't jive with yours.

It's also worth noting that the concept art you see in almost any instance is cleaned up quite a bit from real concept art.

And now that the hole TAG thing is clear i think the bulky blob by the phone might be from PanO. The color of the base matches the ones PanO uses, so mabybe a PanO HI?

Generally when he's doing a "new color scheme", it is either revising an old model or it is a preview for a new unit.
Base looks to be a 25mm and the weapon seems to have the "rotary barrel" of the Yu-Jing HMG so go from there when trying to figure out what it could be.
Hmmm... Spitfire Shang Ji one can only hope, but probably not. I just hope they're not wasting more sculpting resources on the beautiful but practically useless Imperial Agents.
A redone Sun Tzu 1 though, that would be cool.
