Ready to get those rumour engines revving again? Site owner Seibertron is currently in Indianapolis, visiting the Children's Museum exhibition on our favourite transforming robots - Transformers: Robots in Disguise. We will have further information from the show at a later stage, but in the meantime, to stoke the flames of Starscream speculation - after a Masterpiece rumour, a new Generations Leader - how about a look at a prototype for a potential upcoming Voyager figure of the current leader of Cybertron? Check out the images below, showing the body we've seen on the IDW comics covers and in fact, even a similar pose...
UPDATE: Further speculation seems to link this figure to an upscaled version of the Legends class Generations Starscream toy. Compare the latter's images to the ones of the prototype posted below, now with better photography from Seibertron himself!

Ohhh, me likes it! I hope the wings are mistransformed because it look somewhat weird. Nevertheless, as a Screamers fan, I WILL get that voyager Starscream for my collection. Especially if it's a brand new mold.

Kinda fugly. Should have made it look more like the classics mold. That mold will never be topped.

My MP-11 dosent tab in bot mode, chest panels move when I move the arms and if I pick him up by the torso the whole assembly slides upwards. Its an annoyance but I still love this guy.

None in my collection have this chest problem you speak of.
Agreed. Those loose comments have me scratching my head as well. I don't think the plane mode was compromised on MP-11 either.
It's like saying MP-1 is better than MP-10. It's nuts. The newer molds are better engineered and far more G1 accurate, simple reality.

As long as he's mis-transformed, this will be an automatic buy for me. I'm bummed if this means he won't be released using the Leader Thundercracker remold (not soon, anyways), but I do like the Voyager-class size.
He needs poseable fingers.

I really, really like the Classic Seeker mould, but I gotta admit it's way too small next to Hegemon and the Autobots. I like this. It actually seems just about right. The right size with the right amount of G1 influence. And the Classics Seekers may not look totally stupid next to him.
I just might be down for seven of these (the main six + Sunstorm). But I'm not going crazy with making another Seeker army.
If the Seeekers are getting an upgrade in size I may need a new Voyager Soundwave (I've stuck with Music Label so far; it looks good next to Classics SS) ...

Are you sure we are talking Combiner Wars here? As in that they actually combine with other figures? I've looked at that Starscream closely, and I see no possible ports anywhere. In fact, I dont see any knee joints, the legs are one solid piece. This leads me to believe that it's an upsized simplified figure, among the likes of Beast Hunters Deluxe Twinstrike and Windrazor. As for "Prowl": Same story, it's a retool of Beast Hunters Simplified Deluxe Smokscreen.
Sorry guys...

The engineering on this makes it look like a CW deluxe. Protos are sometimes oversized perhaps? Could also be an incomplete/canned idea. Hooray for speculation?

Maybe an upscaled Legends toy?

I'm not sure to what extent prototypes are that much bigger than the final result, to be honest. Not the ones I've seen, at least.

Looking at Starscream again, I think I've identified the "parent" mold of this toy:
Generations Legends Starscream
The transformation matches, and aside from lack of proper knee joints, the addition of missile pods and a blockier design, it's that toy "upsized".
EDIT: Ninja'ed by Va'al.

Combinrs Wars Leaders are not combiners so it's not far fetched that this guy is not.
I wich Starscream would return in the new RID series. However, I doubt it because it ended badly for him in Beast Hunters.

I know he's what the comics went with (for a while anyway), but ... I dunno. He's the right size, but I want something closer to his G1 self. FoC made him really bulky and large.
*checks ebay* And it's $60!? Seriously!? Already??
It's really too bad that old BTS version is such garbage. I have him in alt. mode amongst my cassettes and transformed him again just for kicks and placed him with my cons. It just doesn't work at all.

It's definitely based on it, but it's not a carbon copy. Kinda like these two Predakings:
Taking cues from the transformation, while changing details, joints and some steps of the transformation.

Hoping this gets released. Wanted a CHUG Voyager seeker toy for quite some time. While the 1.0 Seeker toy looks nice, Felt it was small.
Don't see a problem with Hasbro putting non combiners toys in the Combiners Wars toy line. It's already being done with some Legends and Leader Class toys.
Thinking if this toy is a CW Voyager and can combine with deluxes. Then the toy can get repurposed for a CW Leozack Liokaiser combiner.

I can't shake the feeling that this Seeker design looks familiar, but nothing's coming to mind.

JelZe GoldRabbit, You bought up good speculation if this toy has knee articulation or not.
Ryan, If your still at the children's musueem. Can you please take a close look at the Voyager class Starscream Prototype on display. Please can you confirm or not if this has knee articulation.
Wondering if test shots have ever appeared on display at toy fair or conventions with missing articulated parts. Then got more articulation in further along test shots or final toy versions.
Think it would be a travesty if HasTak even attempted. To released a 2015 CHUG Voyager toy with no articulated knees.
Speculating this has got to be a canceled toy.

Looks like an upscale/retool of the Legends Starscream. I'd buy that.

Those arms 
I bet if you shouted around this figure, it'd echo for days.

I donno... funky production colors aside, I have my doubts looking at this mold. Seems a bit simplistic, and the many exposed hollow parts look... unprofessional.

...I can't really tell, but does that Starscream prototype even have functioning knees? Cause those legs almost look like solid plastic save for the bottom where the feet are.

Does Anybody else get the Cyberverse Upscaled vibe from him. He kinda looks like he could be based off the Legends toy that came out last year

Site owner Seibertron is currently in Indianapolis, visiting the Children's Museum exhibition on our favourite transforming robots - Transformers: Robots in Disguise. We will have further information from the show at a later stage, but in the meantime, to stoke the flames of Starscream speculation - after a Masterpiece rumour, a new Generations Leader - how about a look at a prototype for a potential upcoming Voyager figure of the current leader of Cybertron? Check out the images below, showing the body we've seen on the IDW comics covers and in fact, even a similar pose...
