Why keep it secret if you want people to buy it, right? The only reason to hide it is if you think it will decrease sales. That's simple economics.

With that said lets speculate on what we're getting, first from the color images it appears that besides the head the gun has been modified to be different for each bot. Also the wind flap/jet pack will officially have the ability to attach to the gun.
I think they just turn the gun around. It was also the tailpipes for Sunstreaker/Sideswipe. The engine also was always able to attach. It clasped loosly over the gun.
With Sunstreaker/Sideswipe the gun had a fixed barrel. This one looks like each mode has it's own distinct version. The engine closing over the gun wasn't an official gimmick and in this case it appears they've perfected it since they're advertising it.

WHY!?! WHY!? WHY?!! AM I SO DAMN STUBBORN?!??!?
Gugh... I guess I should at least be happy I got one. All of the other members who weren't online for the past couple of days didn't even get a fair chance.
And for those of you who think that 3 days is enough you can shut it right now. Other people do have lives you know. Ya know like, jobs that don't perfectly fit such a cluster fudge of a schedule.
There should be a 3-5 max rule.
Edit: Really they're ordering more? Guess I shouldn't be that surprised. Well, I might order one extra if I get the chance. But they might have lost their rarity by then.

I found it! I scanned in the image as well for you all to see what the design looked like versus what the actual head looked like. Hence, why I've always been disappointed with the Astrotrain exclusive.

Stop whining. This was over the weekend, the best possible time for the entire fanbase. The Transformers Collectors' Club has everyone on a global scale in mind, not just yourself. And why are you even whining? You already have one already for goodness sake.

sold out. We are looking in to getting some more made, but we have no
details at this time.
Shattered Glass Cyclonus is closing in on 75% sell through. Once sold
out that will be it on him, no more produced! At this time we have just
over 300 left.
Thanks!
Pete
p.s. We will be previewing other elements regarding both these
exclusives down the road
