Hi everyone. I thought that you folks might be interested in this. I just found what I believe to be the first pictures ever of the upcoming Pinball Brothers pinball machine. Here's links to my post about it on my new website and Facebook:

Wow, did they really snag the Queen license?!?
What a shock!
No time for tilting, cause we are the champions, of the world!
Is this a leak or a reveal? Needs more hype.
Quoted from bobukcat:We need NeilMcRae and our other UK / London based pinsiders to go get some good pictures of this and see if it can be played!
Absolutely. We need the UK pinball people to get over there and check it out!
Quoted from Bingovit:But that artwork though?!
Yeah, I'm betting that's a copy-n-paste job from some existing licensed assets.
London Pinsiders, your new mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go snag us some playfield pics!
Quoted from northerndude:WOW, snuck that one in to the pinball world
Totally. Lots of people had heard that Heighway was working on a Queen pin, but I didn't expect to see it from Pinball Brothers so soon after the Alien LV announcement.
They had the license (originally obtained when it was Heighway). Deeproot tried to buy it from Pinball Brothers. I believe it is a Barry Oursler design.

The articles are about the store opening up which just happens to have the machine in there (proto I'm sure). So, a leak...mostly. From one of the quotes, the machine is supposed to be out later this year?? I doubt that..but who knows.
Predictably looks like a pretty terrible amateur hour garage home brew.
Also predictably, I'm sure people are itching spend $9K on one and wait 2 years to get theirs to stick it to Gary Stern!

I will say this...looks no better, no worse than LZ. 
That's not saying much.
Looks like a wide body - based on the small backbox overhang in the front on pic - looks identical to Alien. Art is pretty crappy - those art blades.... ugh
Quoted from toyotaboy:This is the early concept layout on future pinball
I hope it's good, this is a band I've been dying for there to be a pinball of.
PB ditched the playfield screen for several reasons so pretty sure Queen won't have it.

Quick money grab.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Ug, TWO single drop targets blocking shots, I hate when people do this and they did it twice!
They did it three times 
The piano key drops are cool.
I have the rando drop blocking a shot on my Monopoly, holy jumpin' that ball goes fucking airborne when I hit that cop drop. I would hate to see if its the same here...
Could be amazing, who knows! I love Queen and I love Pinball. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay.
Quoted from EternitytoM83:Just me, or does the playfield artwork give off a Data East vibe?
No...just gives off the normal '70's psych' vibe that people seem to associate with some of these old bands. Is any of this art interpreted from anything 'Queen'? Or is it made up?

The sides of the cab call back to Queen's historic appearances at Live AID and the Magic Tour at Wembley Stadium with the facade...which is kind of cool (too bad the execution isn't a few dozen times better)...but uh...yeah none of that rings a bell as far as any official Queen art or product either from their history or even contemporary. I'm surprised they'd approve anything so awful, maybe these are just proto placeholders.

Would have been nice if they took images of the band members from the same era.
Well, guess my next purchase will have to be a bigger house. Wanting every rock pin is getting more and more challenging.

Also the band members on backglass and the limited views of them on PF show them wearing the same exact clothing they wore during live aid show. Hairstyle etc are from that era as well. I’m guessing there must be a big Wembley live aid tie in to the game, this was the show that really catapulted their career world wide.

Hate to be a stickler but they are actually pictured in their 1986 tour garb, not the 1985 Live Aid appearance stuff. The theme, such as it is, appears to be "Queen: Wembly '86." Which is fitting since it seems to be similar art quality to a 1986 VHS box.
Quoted from gdonovan:Quick money grab.
As everyone knows, there is no faster way to make money than to design and build pinballs.

My bad you are correct. Live at Wembley 86 but still nice level of detail. They easily could have had any generic type of photos.
I’m looking forward to this, looks a bit different than what you see from stern. Hopefully we see some HQ photos soon.
