According to the text, details will be announced about the specifics of the figure in late May. Until then, all we get is the outline of the Starscream mold.
Credit goes to Autobase Aichi for the find.
UPDATE: A few more details, thanks to a translation I received.
It's a Toy Hobby Market exclusive that will be available at
Ganbo. The additional announcement in May will be from Ganbo and the Japanese toy hobby magazines.
OptimusPrimeFour:

I highly doubt it becuse it's the original Starcream mold, not the conehead retool.
Everyone probably wants it to be Thundercracker, but we'll probably end up getting Skywarp(Not that that's a bad thing, I'd love to see him get the Henkei treatment.)Sunstorm would be cool also.
Super_Megatron:
I'm hoping for Sunstorm or anime Thundercracker.
microclone:
repaints per se dont excite me but the SS mould is one of my fave TF ever, looks great anway but a very nice evolution of the G1 toy, satisfying and simple to TF. Ironically though i dont care for the SS colours, i bought the skywarp instead. Hopefully a good repaint, maybe thundercracker, but with the henkei differences??
on_a_warpath:
I would LOVE for it to be Thrust, but I bet it will end up being Skywarp or Thundercracker, or maybe BOTH!
Tim Formas:
If a few more stores start announcing Henkei exclusives, I can buy into the fact that they may do Thundercracker, Thrust, or Dirge.
Until then, I'll put odds on Skywarp, Sunstorm, or the Ghost of Starscream.
SarahMobius:
PLEASE be Thundercracker...!! >.<
But if it's really an exclusive, like never seen in any form before, it's probably Sunstorm.
Da_Razorsaw:
It's probably Skywarp.
nkelsch:
As history has shown us with japanese repaints... Sunstorm, Black Starscream, Clear Starscream and Skywarp all come before Thundercracker.
I would bet Sunstorm.
Edit: we all know this thread won't end well!
drsyn:
come on Lavender Skyraider colour scheme from season 1.
IronicHide:
Random bright green seeker from More Than Meets The Eye FTW!
Red leader:
crosses fingers for sunstorm

General Tekno:
Ah, it'll be fun watching this thread degenerate.
So with that in mind I'll keep my opinions to myself this one time.
Dragonclaw:
Three words
Action Master Thundercracker
Laser_Optimus:
I'd like to see Sunstorm myself. Or the generic 'lavander' seeker Season 1 colors... or the random Green Seeker from the first episode that's never recieved any love.
Oh, and this thread certainly won't end well... I give it another hour before people come in with the usual Botcon Thundercracker dreams/desires/hopes and miss-placed hatred of FP & Hasbro.
GrimlockAutobot:
PLEASE let it be Thundercracker!!!!! * Crosses fingers and prays* Also, I hope this exclusive doesn't mean it'll be extremely limited like G1 Movie Deluxe Arcee.
Sure hope it doesn't end up being limited to only 1000 pieces or even worse 100 pieces.
Does exclusive mean "store exclusive"? I.E. it'll only be sold at certain stores?
Velcrohead:
I don't give a sh-- who it is, I'm buying it.
BarBoBot:
As long as it isn't Skywarp, I'll buy it.
Lupis Convoy:
I don't know who it will be... but I'll end up getting him.
Optimus747:
Most likely going to be Skywarp, since he never got a single release over here, but was part of an exclusive 2-pack. It would make sense if Skywarp was an exclusive elsewhere. It'd be great if it were Thundercracker, though.
Trek:
*Crosses fingers and hopes for Sunstorm*
nkelsch:
I was hopping for a 3-pack of the neon green show seekers. I mean I think the franchise can support 10 repaints of a mold per line by now instead of the 7 we have.

Exactly!
Ash from Carolina:
Well it's a really great mold so no matter which character it is it should be pretty darn cool. Really a darn shame that Hasbro wanted to bring back Classics but then not reuse one of it's best molds any more. I mean it's not like they haven't repainted other molds to death for mass release.

atomicthumbs:
Starscream's Ghost would be cool though. I really love what they're doing with the entire Henkai series, so whatever it is, I'm sure it will be hella cool...
... Do, uh - do kids still say hella? No?
Sorry. Sorry everyone.
Big Filipino:
I'm hoping it's Sunstorm.
Counterpunch?:
Sing it with me now...
Let's do the Sky-warp again!...
mizuki088:
Starscream's Ghost-transparent version.
I think it is better.
Sun Storm.. may be.(If it is golden(shiny yellow) color chrome, I will like it.)
Starscream Black(no point with skywarp)
Razerwire:
I will cry if it's Sunstorm. Both tears of joy and tears of sadness.
keebs:
The only thing I'm betting on is that I'll buy it whoever it turns out to be.
kenm2474:
Its Sunstorm I'd put money on it.
Railguard:
I just went to this site and forgive me for this but....how in the hell do you translate this freakin page!!!!! I was trying to navigate it and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Please help.
Fosterlager:
I'm going to have to have a dollar limit on this. If it's Starscream's Ghost or Sunstorm, I'll pay the most. If it's anything goofy like a Movie deco, big fat pass. I have six versions of this mold already.
bumblebee79:
I'm hoping for Thundercracker....really though I just hope I can get one.
Basketball Jones:
Realistically, it's Skywarp, but I can't stifle my hopes of it being Thundercracker.
meetoblivion:
My guesses:
- Sunstorm
- Ghost of Starscream
- Masterpiece Starscream colors (the greenish one)
Scourge_151:
My bet's on Skywarp, they'll probably get Magnus as an exclusive somewhere down the line too.
unicron's blues:
My hopes are in order as follows:
Sunstorm
Ghost of Starscream
Generic Seeker from MTMTE
However if its SKywarp or Thundercracker, chances are I'm going to pass, I think the versions we got of both are pretty good as it is.

EDIT: Though an MP-3 coloured Seeker would be good. I recall seeing a custom on these boards of Classics Screamer in MP-3s colour scheme and it looked ace.
Noisemaze:
It's going to be Starscream USA edition.
SmokescreenGT:
I'm hoping for Sunstorm or Thundercracker. I don't think it'll be any of the coneheads since the pic is a silhouette of Starscream.
Ghost of Starscream would be cool, too.
WhiteMocha:
Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is Toy Hobby Market? Is it just a Japanese online store like E-Hobby? Have they had other exclusives? If so, how hard were those to track down? Is it like the E-Hobby exclusives, wherein we could expect US sellers like TFSource or BBTS to import a few?
Thanks!

Paradigm-Shift Prime:
So I don't get how it could be Skywarp if it is a Japan-Henkei exclusive? As Skywarp was released at retail here...
Fosterlager:
They must mean it's a retail exclusive as opposed to a Henkei general wide release.
