Will we ever find out what this is?
Or does anyone have theories? http://imgur.com/1HfmNJE

It's a flying manta ray
It's actually Anivia, in one of the battle cast teasers Anivia's name came up among the other battle cast robots. Guess that skin was scrapped tho.
It's a lost kite.
It's in Creator Viktor's Recall-Animation aswell: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130906013237/leagueoflegends/images/b/b1/Viktor_Recall.png
http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120802032044/leagueoflegends/images/8/8a/Battlecast_Cho'Gath_Specs.jpg The mentioning of "ANV" at the top right corner of Battlecast Cho'gath Primes Blueprints. It's probably scrapped tho and at this time Vel'Koz wasn't a thing. Yet Vel'Koz is shown in Creator Viktor's Splashart (Vel'Koz wasn't released at this time) and Battlecast Skarner Alpha is seen in Battlecast Cho'Gath's Splash (The last battlecast skin is shown in the first one's splash...).
Tl;dr: Could be Anivia with a chance of 5%, otherwise it's either a new champion or someone who can thematically fly. Let's not forget tho that Battlecasts are mostly creatures from the void - And ironically most of them are lategame monsters.
It's obviously a Jigglypuff as seen from above.
My guess is that it was a teased champion that hit some kind of bump in the road, and was then iceboxed to either be dropped or picked up at a later date.
ITS JOHN CENA
It's Mothra Vel Koz.
While I can't say for certain, as I'm not 100% sure myself, I am a fan of the manta ray theory. :3
I know what it is >:3
It's a flying devil fish.... now i want some seafood...
Sorry, but it's just the peak of a rock poking though the smoke.
Although a flying manta ray would be cool...
It's a flipped Sharpedo
and his name is....
It's Batman!
(Aatrox?)
"WHO'S THAT POKEMON?!"
Forgotten I guess, lets code name it Ao Shin 2
Wasn't it in the battlecast blueprint pictures too?
It's BATMAN
It's URF the mecha-tee
My best bet is that is a void monster butterfly like creature support role
Battlecast Rek'Sai? Maybe? Possibly?
maybe? I dunno, upon closer inspection, probably not, but that's the only champ I can think of off the top of my head that has wings similar to that.
It was a skin - Battlecast Anivia which was canceled later because they said it would not fit for her, his recall animation has it aswell and on the Wiki of unreleased content it mentions this skin
Its either Corki
OR FUKIN AURELION SOL! 
It was Battlecast Anivia, cancelled because the animations didn't work well.
release a manta ray related champion and make that hextech skin for it
Looks like Urfrider Corki?
It's the Mothman.
people joke about it but there was actual theories about it when it came out: a bit like Vi's sister was mentioned in ARAM
That was just the clunky old Ao Shin model. Now you know whay they scrapped it.
