1) That Starscream looks a hell of a lot like Jetfire.
2) Is it the large Cybertron Screamer or the small one?

It's supposed to - same way Grimlock is supposed to look like Trypticon.
2) Is it the large Cybertron Screamer or the small one?
Judging by the rifle it has to be the Voyager class one.

I think that's done on purpose. The Decepticons are the good guys now, right? So it stands to reason that they will have Decepticon-equivalents of the Autobots, like Starscream is the flying guy, so he's Jetfire... Megatron will probably be in Prime's colours, etc.
Razorclaw is cute though, love the Overbite mold. Beast minicons were awesome, and the wolf was my favourite!

Either way, when I saw that I mentioned they should ad a hint of grey to the pure white face to break the head up a bit.
Glad it happened cause he looks great!
The yellow guy looks like a snot, so...
Hope those who can get them enjoy!

Its a shame i'll never own or even see these in person. (why doesn't the UK get cool stuff like this )

I like the Screamer Repaint.

So, the tiny itty bitty figure is Razar Claw. That's not cool. What is the point of a tiny little peice of minicon?
Okay break it down.
Evil Autobots Goldbug, Prime, Jazz,
VS
Good Decipitcons Starscream and baby razarclaw?
Seems the good guys are about to have their asses handed to them.
Major let down after last years seekers and bug bite.
For me there new names are Jetfire, Trypticon, Jazz, Motomaster and Decpticharge. (maybe even Black Arrachina)
Oh then there is my littlest pet shop kitty Kat.

Can't wait to see Megatron. I hope there are more extra characters besides Megatron. I heard there's going to be black Rodimus. Maybe he's be the free attendee exclusive.

And I think Razorclaw is supposed to homage Steeljaw. That would make sense cosidering the coloring and size of the figure, and both were lions too.

Oh and all those other cool robots too I guess.
But seriously, I both really like the set and at the same time wonder what the hell I'm going to do with it.
While these toys are something I feel compelled to own (I'm very close to owning all of the AEC & Classics toys. Yea...all of them.), they give me problem all the same. They don't really have a place to belong... I mean, I don't intend to integrate them. Like, Goldbuy won't become 'Classics' Goldbug, but at the same time, I don't want to dedicate a whole shelf to them alone.
I like the toys, they're kind of unique. What will make the set a stand out and make me find a way to integrate them is Megatron. It all revolves around him. If Megatron rocks my socks, then all is good.

Im not feeling too bad about not having the money to buy these anymore, but still feel like Im missing out.

Yes you do. Steeljaw looks somewhat like that, but you could do better.

My sentiment exactly!
I like the starscream pretty well.
I like the grimlock and goldbug too.
The prime is OK.
Meh to the rest.
While I'd like to have the set, I'd prefer to keep the money.
I'll put it towards universe, or animated or something.

To be fair, I don't think you have access to the Club information that we're getting on this issue of Starscream looking like Jetfire.
It's done on Purpose and is supposed to be important to the overall story and background of the character. They're going with the whole Starscream & Jetfire were once friends, now terrible enemies angle and twisting it for the set.
Also, Razorclaw isn't supposed to be the corresponding G1 character there.
