This is GW. It'll be 4 guys in a kit. 2 identical sprues that each make 2 Yeld, Jakara or Malcadon. Orrus will be separate kit/sprue.
New models incoming

That's the other way I read it. Which I hoped wasn't the case as really they should be available together as a set. But as I said, very GW not to do that. Maybe they will later.
I haven't really dealt with GW's current MO with regards to sprues (lucky me?) so I wasn't sure.

The set with all four Spyrer types in it would probably be a special edition, limited time release. With maybe a Spyrer Patriarch or Matriarch model. Both of which would only be available in the limited edition set. (Gotta get that FOMO buzz going). Oh! How about TWO limited edition sets with different artwork?!? One with the Patriarch, one with a Matriarch! Now you have to buy two sets to get one of each. (GW doesn’t read our site, do they? If so I’d like a freelancer fee for that idea!)
Edit: who am I kidding? They probably had that idea right from the start…

Orrus only available in the Secundus Big Box
Remaining Spyrers will be released in an expansion set. (2 sprues of 2 Models as stated by @Tiny )The rules for which will be released in the Secundus Hardback book.... Sold separately from the big box, despite being mostly the same but containing 8 stealth Erratas and 10 random stat/cost changes to items from main rule books.
Now how about tactics cards...

I get the strong feeling the Secundus big box Rulebook will be purely about the dungeon crawl. ‘Normal’ campaign rules to come in the usual stand alone hardback book.
Well, the way they seem to do it is two identical sprues per box with enough options to not make them complete duplicates.
Orrus have very different bodies so will no doubt be bigger than the others (looks like a 40mm base design, whereas the others appear to be on 32mm ones) and probably one per sprue, like the Ambot.
They will get a separate release at some point as every plastic sprue in every big box has, even the doors, barricades and the scenery.
I actually have a rather different take from what's been said. They explicitly wrote that the Jakara, Yeld and Malcadon are examples of "Light Spyrers". I suspect that there might be a couple of new spyrer types that fall into the "Heavy Spyrer" category along with the Orrus - for the sake of symmetry, 2. It also fits in with what the sculptor said when he said that there were a 'lot of options' on the Orrus sprue...
I also personally never want to hear of the abominations that were the patriarch and matriarch spyrers.

“Here’s the quadruple rocket launcher arms! Twin-linked!!! Heat-seeking (sorry Cawdor).
Here’s the seismic generator and the vortex grenade launcher codpiece!!!
Here’s the laser-guided mini robot that leaps out of his chest and tackles opponents in the form of a cyber-hound…”
Goddamn you now I want Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble et al in Necromunda, heresy!

Would do in a pinch, with a different colour scheme... I think they come in just a little bigger than "normal" 28mm minis, as they're a different scale but are also meant to be giant robots. Not sure about the other cassette bots, but there's probably options for them.
As strange as it may seem, I wonder if these new Spyrer kits fulfill similar roles to the standard gang kit and the prospect/champ kits?
This also might explain the weird Jakara sword arm and Malcadon claw armed Spyrer as shown in the picture that doesn’t conform to one particular armour type… maybe that’s the leader and they can mix and match weapons and gear??
Maybe the multi-kit is designed to be the basic box and this time they’re giving us the big boys in the big box?
After all, the Enforcers box with the shields wasn’t too far after DU right?? Maybe this time because of the limited numbers of Spyrers they’re pushing both kits almost at once??

The article already heavily implies/outright states you can mix&match arms for your Hunt Master, so the 'bottom' Spyrer is a Jakara/Malcadon mix
I somehow missed that.
Well that’s that suspicion confirmed!! It also makes sense as it’s one of each type and a leader in the box then.
This might count as sump seepage, but the new Spyrers seem like a missed opportunity. As others have said, it could be the bland paint job but they look too uniform. I miss the very distinct designs of the N95 versions. Given that these are custom illegal human-hunting exosuits, it strikes me as strange that they all look like they were bought at the "Alien Rigs R Us" emporium - from the new fall catalogue!
As for the rules, the older version of Spyrers didn't have a leader. This made some sense because they were entitled nobles playing "the most dangerous game." They probably all thought they were in charge, so nobody ended up being in charge! It would have made for an interesting game mechanic to make the Spyrers subject to a modified version of the old anamosity rules from WFB Orcs & Goblins - to represent how they are self-centered members of the inflexible and highly competitive Necromundan nobility.

Modern Necromunda in a nutshell:
Spyrer, shouting in the street: "Hello? I have committed tech heresy, and I did it on purpose!"
*pause*
"I said I have violated the laws of the Imperium of Man, and I wish to confess!"
*pause*
*Distant voice* "Hey, shut up down there!"

In the original gang in Outlanders, every Bottle roll is taken using whatever is the very best Leadership score in the gang, that turn, and the extra experience for a winning Leader goes to whatever Spyrer had the highest Leadership during the game. No extra boost to the experience a normal Leader would get from a scenario, but it did effectively mean that your Leader could never be missing a scenario (old battle wound, etc), because the highest leadership of whoever is on table becomes the de facto Leader during that scenario and post-battle.
The LRB / N'03 version may have changed that.
