I'm hoping both Thundercracker & Orion Pax have different microns, but, hell, i'll still get both.

Thundercracker's Micron is from Skywarp. (kinda boring re-using that mould pairing)
Orion Pax's Micron is from Ratchet.
Orion Pax is disappointing. Not sure what I was expecting as it is technically meant to look exactly like Optimus, but thought it would be something more spectacular. I guess a shiny minicon is the "spectacular".
Both are a tad disappointing. I picked up Skywarp all excited and after opening it have come to the conclusion that the mould doesn't really work for anyone but Starscream. A new head would remedy that a bit though. The smirk just doesn't sit well on the other seekers.
Speaking of new heads, I'd hop Orion gets one too. Shame they just went for a Nemesis Prime sort of coluring I guess, but I suppose too many people would just pass it up as Optimus.

There is also a Nemesis Prime (black redeco) coming (third photo), so maybe you were thinking that that toy was Orion Pax?
Official images from TakaraTomy of the pair, including a shot of the actual Thundercracker toy, showing that they aren't shiny like in the official (photoshopped) images.
Both their weapons will be shiny, just not the toys themselves.
Thundercracker will be hard to pass up .. but you knew it was coming!
Oh, yeah. I see now. :rolleyes:Quote:

He loses his memory, but remembers Megatron from before the war, so is easily convinced to joining the Decepticons.

Pics of them in packaging, now that they look to have been released.
