Nice to see that they're still giving alternate names when they release two of the same character now, and all the figures still look great, so I'm still intent on picking this set up. Plus, that little glimpse of Skywarp and one of his minions in the corner there as a cross-sell is enough confirmation for me to assume that they're probably S27, so that's two missing numbers down.
According to Amazon Germany Skywarp is indeed WFC-S27 via WFC-S26's product description and is called the Dcepticon Phantomstrike squadron. It also Say's that WFC-S26 is part 1 of the final strike collection, and that you need to buy part 2 WFC-S27 to complete the "Epic mission battle scene". So I'm guessing the box art is indeed actually the front of the box and when you combine the two together (WFC-S26 and WFC-S27) it will make a nice piece of artwork, similar to how the Prime wars exclusives from amazon did.
Excuse the cruddy translation form German.

Mission:
After receiving reports of heavy attacks by Skywarp and the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron on Autobots, Optimus Prime hired an elite team to take action against the attacks – the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce. The Analyst: Slamdance, the Striker: a clone of Sideswipe with increased speed and hidden abilities, the Sagittarius: a Battle Master Barrage Specialist called Trenchfoot, and an Reconnaissance Team: Greenlight and Dazzlestrike must work together to prevent and repel the Attacks of the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron. (WFC-S15 Greenlight is sold separately, subject to availability.)
Slamdance needs to analyze the data collected by the reconnaissance team and identify the patterns behind Skywarp's teleportation to predict its actions. Once detected, the Sideswipe clone, along with the Barrage Fireman, Trenchfoot, must use its camouflage and speed as a replacement to race to the predicted location and wait for Skywarp to arrive. The Sideswipe clone and Trenchfoot have to fend off the attack on their own until the rest of their team arrives.
The final attack
Can the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce outsmart the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron and put an end to skywarp and his team's brutal attacks on autobots? ... or will the Decepticon team overwhelm the Autobots and continue to perform debilitating surprise attacks on the Autobots. Who will perform the final attack when the Alphastrike Counterfource takes on Phantomstrike Squadron?
Also, we know now the number for the set: WFC-S26.
