Leader Class Starscream and Grindor features revealed!
The special feature for the new Transformers revenge of The Fallen Leader Class Starscream may have been revealed by a Hasbro Q&A. They revealed the information about a Prototype:

"The prototype features lights, sounds, a moving jaw, a galting gun that can be attached to the arm and hidden missile launchers. It is also said to be the most detail-accurate figure out of the entire line"

They have also revealed the Leader class Grindor information:

"It revealed a completely new mold,which would be approximately 25 centimeters tall in robot mode,and many features including lights and sounds; it would have a "movie-accurate" blade-weapon, two removable shoulder cannons,a 1 inch gatling gun on his right arm, and a firing chest weapon similar to the one seen on Blackout in the first film. Currently there are no photos for the vehicle mode. Also unclear if a Scorponok figure is included"

The chances of him reappearing in such a class is next to nothing since he's been killed off in the 2007 movie.

And in the 2009 movie too (I doubt he won't be in the third movie, just to say "They killed Blackout again! Bastards!")

The voyager is a fine figure (and repainted numerously allready), but a leader Blackout I would buy anytime. The base attack from the first movie is the best scene from all the Bayverse.

prob too late now, but back during 2007 Movie toyline, I was actually surprised that they released a Leader Brawl. Blackout def had a larger role than Brawl did not to mention more screentime as well, yet Brawl gets a leader class fig and Blackout don't.

Brawl's deluxe toy was also one of the most out of scale, Optimus Prime could easily have run over him

So was Bonecrusher. Who should at the very least have gotten a Voyager mold for going head to head with Prime, if not even a leader instead of Brawl.

True, they're both out of scale. Bonecrusher should be a voyager with a removable head, but instead he's wide and short.
