I wish we had a better pic, but it looks very Starscreamy.

This looks like it may be the real deal and not some paper imitation.

Oh, man, Screamer is my FAVOURITE Decepticon. Please say it's true, please say it's true. I would love to have a Starscream that's in accurate scale with my Prime.

Looks so much like the voyager-wonder what the alt mode will look like.
Hasbro definitely wants to produce this. It could lead to yet a whole new set of repaints and $ for them. Can we say Leader Seekers?

Dude, I'd buy them all!! this leader figure looks to finally have functional fingers and the gatling guns on the arm seem to recess and maybe rise up and pull forwards to simulate his hand held weaponry..of course I am only speculating from the image we saw, but i was never a fan of the original voyager starscream release.. and I like the voyager release, but the jet fighter mode shows his hands out the back.. this may be the one Starscream movie figure that hides almost all of the robot parts in jet mode.. we will see, but if it does accomplish this goal, I will buy all the different colored versions..

About time, now if they would make a leader class Grindor/Blackout, the voyager Blackout was weak.

This looks like something I could sink my mandibles into. 
EDIT 1: They need to make Masterpiece Movie figures. I would like to see a movie Jazz figure be everything that the delux version wasn't.

It looks great, now I can use him with Leader Prime. I hope they make a Blackout, I'm shocked they haven't already, since he's had so much screen time (compared to the other cons).
He looks good, the alternate mode will either make or break him. either that or the colors. Even so, it looks like a decent mold, poseable head, arms that can make the hands go up (the worst part of Voyager ROTF screamer). I just hope they didn't waste anytime on pointless blinking eyes and stuff this time.

This looks nothing like the paper one, I don't understand the confusion. It looks like it might be good enough to buy, unlike the dissappointing new voyager. I wonder if his big flappy triangular sides will be able to move like the CGI? Probably not.

Almost looks like a prototype for the Voyager version.
God, I hope they don't pull the same thing with these two Starscreams that they did with the Cybertron Starscream toys.

If the altmode looks as good as the voyager class version, this one will kick some major ass.
Which in case means i will buy him.

The pic looks like a more detailed version of the voyager class, and the head looks ball-jointed too. From the way it's posed, it looks rather top heavy, and actually less proportionate compared to the paper craft screamer.
Looks to be an early prototype, so I'm sure the final product will be even better than the one in the pic.
Love the bendable fingers and Gatling gun.
It's almost a winner, as far as I'm concerned. Still, there better not be any hands or head sticking out of his alt mode's ass...er, thrusters. If the raptor mode looks at least 90% like the real jet fighter, I'm buying it for sure.

wow this guy looks great! I've been waiting to see some pics and even if this an early prototype.. im still looking forward to it. the jet mode i hope looks accurate and sleek and hides all of the kibble but if it has something like the voyager mold ( hands sticking out of the back ) then I wouldn't mind.

Ah, looks pretty nice, and definitely not the voyager-class or the paper model. I'm not sure if I'll get him, I find the voyager-version to be pretty nice on it's own. Still, I'm leaning more onto getting it, just like I did with leader & voyager Megatron. I'd like to see more photos here.

I hope his alt mode is almost kibble free and looks like a real F-22 not a plane shell with a robot underneath it like another horrible leader figure. This is the selling point for me.
