Wow! This is the first I've heard of this news—a Leader Class Starscream was really the only thing I wanted out of ROTF, so hopefully it happens!
If the robot mode could be improved further from the new Voyager then I think a Leader Class Starscream would be great to see and I'd certainly buy one.
New to the site here. Anybody heard or read when leader class starscream is going to be available to buy? He will complete my collection that resides in my home theater.
Revived again? Well, to answer your question, he should be out sooner rather than later. We've seen boxed pics of him and test-shots. I can't remember if we got a solid release date or and estimation, but if you're anxious, yeah, he'll be out soon.
My guess it won't be until August. BBTS has the pre-order released then. Usually, BBTS is ahead of the stores, but you never know. I have heard Hasbro wants to wait out IronMan stuff, and then go with the new line of TF.
I missed this reply. Anyone who didn't understand what I was on about (... back in October), the point was that Starscream was one of the big guys in TF1, but in ROTF, there were far bigger bots. Hence the need for smaller deluxe class Ratchet, Ironhide and the new voyager Optimus.
I just preordered him last night on toywiz.com Was going to preorder him at bbts, but their preorder is sold out.
