Ok. So as of the latest chapter we saw that Kabuto was able to summon someone that made Tobi freak out. Now it's been stated before that not only is Madara "a shell of his former self" but that he also plans on using the bijuu to restore his power. Knowing that...here's my theory.
I still stand firmly by the fact that it's not so simple as Tobi=Madara. If that were the case he wouldn't have a mask and there'd be no mystery. I do however think that it is Madara in someone else's body.
If you take that assumption then you may ask what happened to Madara's body? Well, I believe (as of the latest chapter) that Madara wanted to somehow use the power of the bijuu to revive and transfer his soul back into his own body to have the power of his EMS. As it is now, we've never seen Tobi/Madara with any other Sharingan than the 3 tomoe, so I believe he doesn't have either MS nor EMS at the current time.
With all that in mind, I came to the conclusion that Kabuto summoned Madaras body in the final casket. For if my theory is correct and Madara was trying to get his own body back to regain his EMS, then that would certainly explain his reaction when Kabuto summoned it, as Kabuto could destroy it at any time. What else could scare the great Madara soo bad as to give in to someone who wants to kill/experiment on his new pet Sasuke after all Madara did to help Sasuke.
Well there it is. To sum it all up again.
1) Madara is in another body
2) Madara wants to use the power of all the bijuu to restore himself to his original body
3) Kabuto summoned Madara's original body, causing Madara's reaction and sudden change of heart.
