Ok, so I developed this theory long ago, but today really refined it after discussions with my friend about the latest episodes from this weeks Naruto. I think it covers basically everything we know about Madara to date.
First off, I'll just explain what I think Madara/Tobi is. I believe Tobi is a Zetsu in which Madara's Sharingan was implanted into.
Now heres how I believe what happened.
Madara fought the First Hokage in the Valley of the End and managed to steal some of his DNA.
From the DNA he created the first Zetsu's, each with their own varying personalities/types (black zetsu is a perfect example)
Madara somehow planned the events of his own death or was so severely weakened by the first hokage that he had no choice but to inhabit a different body. What would be better than a body made of the First Hokage's Cells?
The Zetsu's have the ability to mimic a persons body and chakra perfectly, but are incredibly weak. So in theory would be able to fully utelise the abilities of the Sharingan, but not to the extent of a full blooded uchiha.
In the event of his death, I believe Black Zetsu transplanted the Sharingan into a Zetsu (named Tobi) who was already copying Madara's body.
Now heres the catcher, I believe the Sharingan (or flesh) contains the memories of the original host body. Why? because of Kabuto and Orochimaru. How exactly did Kabuto learn Impure World Ressurection? I doubt Orochimaru would have directly taught Kabuto his (arguably) best technique? I believe while Kabuto was trying to fight off Orochimaru's genetic domination, he managed a glimpse of Orochimaru's techniques.
Also remember Sasori? the only living piece of him was his heart, yet it was able to manifest his memories.
The Sharingan's are special as noted by Sauske where he could "feel itachi's power flowing into him". Perhaps memory transfer is possible.
With the eye transferred into Tobi, Madara's memories can take over allowing Madara to be reborn in a weaker flesh body. Hence why Madara said at the summit "he is nothing but a shell of his former self". It also explains how Madara was able to regenerate an arm after losing it from Danzo's lankie; he was a Zetsu.
Now Tobi may have simply been Madara letting his Zetsu half take over. In the event of a transplant, the transplant recipient has dominance over the part. However, due to the submissiveness of Tobi, he relunctantly let Madara take over. Afterall he is a "good boy" and explains why Zetsu only calls Madara, Tobi
Now remember Madara is dead. So Kabuto impure world ressurecting his body and literally FORCING Madara to join forces makes sense. Remember Madara goes "HOW did you get that" assuming Madara hid his corpse in a secure location. It is perhaps possible Kabuto realises Madara's true plans (ressurecting his body with the power of the sage of six paths) and stole his corpse to prevent him from doing so.
I believe this is the most complete theory to date and if someone has already posted a theory similar to this, I would love to read it.
