For the first 10 purchasers of new Henkei Henkei (classics) series at TRU stores.
Its name is Skyglide, repaint of Steelwind (clear sky team). It's a red Micron, apparent homage to Powerglide.

I collect A-10 molds, and was relieved that Steelwind wasn't one of the repainted Japanese-only ones. But now he is, only in a MORE limited fashion.
Can't say for sure till I see the price it commands, but I might have to let this one go. Good thing there is a giant, cool-looking, affordable Powerglide right around the corner, to soften the blow. 
(Boy, he's pretty much gonna look JUST like my avatar, huh? Double crap.) | |

Boy, I guess that seals the deal... now I HAVE to get one.
(I'm actually quite fond of the Steelwind mold, and not just because it's an A-10. I think it's one of the more clever designs among the Classics minicons; his alt mode is actually the most accurate A-10 ever in a Transformers line, and his robot mode's hilarious clown feet give him great stability among minicons. He's even got little slide-out fists, a feature they TOTALLY could have cheaped-out on and left out.) | |

I'll await for pics, but from the description this could be a neat repaint. Sadly his exclusive status means I'll probably never get him.
