Those who've been keeping up with the Titans Return toy listings will have noticed that Brainstorm is the only 1987 Gen1 Autobot and Decepticon Headmaster (not counting the Horrorcons) that isn't seeing a general release... at least, not in the first two waves.
It might still get released in a later wave, but first it will be released as an SDCC exclusive in the Titan Force 3-pack (which has occurred several times before), and now it looks like the single pack version might end up being a store exclusive as well... according to an accidental reveal in a Walgreens photo (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/06/25/titans-return-deluxe-brainstorm-walgreens-exclusive-317952) that was promoting their exclusive Marvel toys.
(Walgreens is an American national chain of convenience stores, which have been known to stock small toys, like our Coles or Woolies do.)

If it does end up being an exclusive to Walgreens or various American retailers, it might not show up here, and it would be an odd thing for Hasbro to prevent fans from easily obtaining the full set of the original Gen1 Headmasters, considering this Generations toyline is aimed at collectors, so they should be keeping their preferences in mind.
Hopefully we get official word soon on if this mould is getting a general release later, and if it isn't, will we be seeing it here.
