Yes. No confirmation on it though. So take that as you will.

I would be less surprised if the two pack was an Asian Market Hasbro release. But I suppose the Thundercracker is a good idea - but the Optimus is as un-needed as all the DOTM Voyager repaints were. But at least with Micron repaints you should get some new colour Microns - and even if they are not a new colour then it's a duel wield opportunity for Optimus.

I wonder what Micron Thundercracker would get if not Baro (again). and if Takara ever plan to make a Arms Micron Deluxe Starscream and an Arms Micron Deluxe Optimus - if the twin pack used the deluxe mold as Orion pax that might even be kind of cool - as the lack of an Arms Micron deluxe Optimus does depress me a bit.

Anyway perhaps I might buy this toy next month - I'd not bother making the trailer though as I have no safe place to keep it.

That Optimus mold, while it looks great in the new colors, is still not for me. And those microns suck. They could at least have given them a less random color scheme!

That cardboard trailer actually looks quite good. And you can attach weapons to it!

Hmmmm....black translucent eyes.
No matter, I have a spare PRID Voyager Prime head with the blue translucent plastic bits. Can simply swap.

Yeah that trailer does look good, if it were not for the 2d wheels it wouldn't even be that noticable it was a card trailer.
Looks like it would make a nice stand in for a classics trailer too. Also a nice template for getting some styrene and making a plastic trailer from it
