I fully agree and in fact that's KO'ers schtick, not Hasbro's. The most we can say is that one is simply based on the other and call it a day. Given that Voyager Starscream's age (2011'ish) based on a Reddit post earlier in this thread, it's possible that that prototype was the basis for Gen. Legends Starscream.
Up- or downsizing designs seems to be a common occurrence: Classics Optimus was upsized from Deluxe to Voyager, Universe 2008 Galvatron the other way around.
