Courtesy of the Thai website Toys2mail Station we have images of a Spring 2012 solicitation that reveals what appears to be an Asian release of the 2007 Transformers movie line Leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in a two-pack. The solicitation has August 2012 listed as the release date. They have also posted a mock-up of the set in the DOTM Optimus Prime/Jetfire two-pack packaging. The price works out to around $210.00. We will attempt to find out more information about this somewhat unusual listing. Images mirrored below.

Reminds me of the Cybertron Prime + Crumplezone pack. I would expect a wacky redeco but it doesn't look like it.

accept the box says Jetfire.

accept the box says Jetfire.

This is common practice for mock-ups.

This is reaching on a grand scale. Wow, just wow.

Repaint them as Ultra Magnus and Galvatron, done.

well at least its 2 molds that havent been around since 07-08, still odd though

What an odd choice. I have that Megatron, I love it, really. I replaced that Optimus with the ROTF version, which is far superior. Just a really odd choice.

The price? Terrible. They aren't worth $210.00, even together.

^ fixed with my opinion.
In general, I expect to pay *less* for a box set than I would for the individual figures.

Moreover, these molds are, in my opinion at least, pretty awful. I guess Leader Megatron is alright, but the first movie Leader Prime is nowhere near as nice as the Rotf and onward version.

Exactly. I'll give Megatron more credit, this time. Megatron's design in the movie wasn't exactly toy friendly. Making it work, plus retaining his gun gimmick, transformation, plus Automorph, is nothing short of a miracle. Is it perfect? No. But I'd be hard pressed to do a better job, really.

Optimus, on the other hand, his truck mode wasn't great (what with all of that weaponry junk sticking out), his robot mode was even worse. His design was more pleasing to the eye, so why didn't he receive more detail work?
