They've both had shady pasts in IDW at least, so they may be playing with the one being a darker or lighter shade of grey than the other!

Looking closely, there is definitely a decepticon symbol on Impactors shoulder, what on earth is Hasbro up to?

Sins of the Wreckers ended with Impactor joining up with a Cybertronian insurgent group based on Earth that was dedicated to overthrowing the major players they saw as perpetuating inequality. This included Optimus Prime and most of Autobot high command.
I think.
Maybe that's what they're following up on, though those guys definitely weren't Decepticons.

Mirage vs. the Mercenary
The Wreckers, led by Impactor, are a highly skilled team of mercenaries who are at their best when the odds of survival are at their worst. They're exactly the kind of soldiers the Autobots need on their side. Can Mirage persuade them to join the Autobot cause?

No, they are very clear as to what is going on, they wrote the story all out in the blurbs found on this page: http://pulse.hasbro.com/news/war-cybert ... -vote-hereMirage vs. the Mercenary

John Warden specifically stated that there is no Unifying ecosystem for the toys like CW, TR, and PotP had. Basically, anything goes. You could have a deluxe wave with 2 CW style figures, 1 "normal" deluxe, and 1 TR style headmaster.
The story is the unifying aspect this time around.

So it's going to be more like generations? Throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Well, Impactor is leader of a group that specializes in doing nasty jobs other teams don't want to do. He practically lives for war and often can sympathize with commom bots. Mirage is the direct opposite. Before the war, he was a rich socialite who eschewed from commoners. He detested the incivility of war and is against the violent actions his Autobot comrades have to take. He would prefer that the two factions just sit down and make peace. Its not hard to see how they'd be opposed to each other.
So, at first glance, these two seem random picks. And they might be, but I'd like to think someone at Hasbro did their homework.

My actions and thoughts exactly.
So, how do we vote? Is there a pole or do we just write who we choose in the comments section of that Hasbro page?
It’s obviously gonna be Impactor and Mirage for me.

You know that posting that here doesn't count right?

This ... is disappointing.
