Ever since Generations Leader Thundercracker was revealed, a repaint as Starscream seemed to be more likely to happen than not. This theory was further, solidified, if you will, by the revelation of the Transformers #41 cover, which has Starscream based on the leader Thundercracker design, with a crown.
Toys R Us Australia has a listing up[/URL] for Transformers Generations Leader class figures. While images of Megatrons are shown, the listing is technically for all leader class figures. Meanwhile a biography is up for Starscream:
Starscream commands one of the most fearsome military units from Cybertron: the Seekers. The squadron has brought him great power and glory, but that means nothing as long as Megatron is the one who rules the Decepticons. Until Starscream can claim that throne, he will have to be content to be king of the Seekers.The war between Autobot and Decepticon rages on, and with Starscream in the fight, the action gets more intense all the time! This awesome Starscream figure is a massive force for evil in robot mode with a blaster on each arm and an appetite for destruction. But when it’s time for a screaming air assault, he converts to jet mode! Get ready for a whole new generation of Transformers mayhem with this incredible Starscream figure!
Oddly enough, this is up before the likes of other figures previously revealed, such as Thundercracker, Megatron, et al. So maybe we’ll see leader Starscream revealed soon?

I never got the MP Starscream a Generations Leader Starscream will be awesome it would be great if Hasbro makes a Leader class Ramjet Dirge Thrust Sunstorm and Acid Storm.

Speaking of scale, I would love a in scale masterpiece Omega Supreme. It will be big
Sigmus Prime
Same. I like the scale potential with this.
Resistor
Really excited for Starscream to get rid of that red smear of a thing and move back to a proper body.
LegendAntihero
Not bad. This bio will be good for those not familiar with Starscream
IgnikaMarcus
If they do make Skywarp, I hope he has his Armada head.
That Guy
I hope they eventually use the mold for a lesser known seeker. Acidstorm and Sunstorm seem to be popular choices for eventual seeker mold use. I'd pick it up as either one of them I think.

i'd guess they'll cycle in T.C. for wave 2 and keep G1 Megs. then replace megs with Magnus for wave 3 (or wave 3 ends up Starscream and Magnus)
Autovolt 127
That's a great plan to have different seekers.
That colour scheme looks delicious.
ArmadaSentinel
I like the Thundercracker remould but the fact that the underside of the wings are unpainted is a big downside for me, and Im guessing Starscream will have the same problem.
Hopefully he comes with some different accessories though instead of all the extra guns…maybe a crown and some shoulder intakes.

Guess this is my leader of choice. I'm a Decepticon guy and a stickler for source-accurate figures. While I really want Magnus, the fact that it's not 100% accurate kinda kills it. Plus I've always wanted a decent sized screamer and can't afford the Masterpiece version.
Fort Max
Thundercracker is listed as an April release on robot Kingdom and Magnus was just put up earlier today as June.

It would be nice if Hasbro (or Takara), given the re-tools already done to the mould, went that one extra step and re-tooled the upper arms to hold the cannons in true seeker style.
They always seem to ALMOST do things right.
MWG
I wonder if this is supposed to be the wave mate of Leader Thundercracker? And is Leader TC supposed to come before or after Magnus? Since they are shipping two versions of Megatron together, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to get two seekers in the same wave.

So…
Legends Class Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp.
Leader Class Thundercracker, Starscream.
Half-life 3 confirmed? er… Leader Class Skywarp coming soon?
T-Logicon
If they make skywarp, I'm in. Otherwise, meh.
DOTM Bumblebee
Not sure if I'm interested… I mean, Leader Jetfire is a good mold… I'm just not sure how well I like it used for the Seekers… I guess if I can't afford the possible MP Starscream, I could get it…
Afterburner
I hope he looks better in robot mode than their Thundercracker does.
johnbonhamatron
Seriously, you wait years for one, and then three turn up at once…
The humorous thing is we're just one CW Voyager Screamer away from that being literally true, as well.

There's certainly a lot of love for Starscream this year isn't there?
