Ranking Every MIRAGE Design From Worst To Best (Rise Of The Beasts) 

Thank you for including my fan design and for your kind compliments!

Is it just me or does ROTB Mirage give off RID (2015) Sideswipe vibes with both the head and the ani-authority personality? Dino was cool, him being a Ferrari was a neat change up!

ROTB Mirage is really growing to be my favorite design for the character. Feels like they're taking a lot of inspiration from that one concept art for Prime.

I actually really liked the Porsche Mirage when I first saw it! And while fans would say that Jazz is a Porsche, I’d argue Jazz would choose anything as long as it jived with him. I could see Jazz as a Ford Mustang (either SN95 or Fox body), or a lower price sports car of a similar cloth.

I love the aligned continuity and bayverse mirage designs. Him standing out so much is nice juxtaposition to his whole thing of being a spy. Also some history on bayverse mirage he was planned to be in age of extinction, but due to the unfortunate passing of Francesco Quinn and not being able to find a new voice actor he was cut from the film.

If ROTB Mirage had the shoulder missile and the wheels on the back (like how it is on the concept art), it would've been perfect imo

"We can always expect him to be blue." Dino awkwardly sitting in the corner like 😐

I like all the designs of Mirage, which looks similar to his G1/Classic design.

I do not understand why people are so upset about Mirage transforming into a Porsche, claiming that he's "stealing Jazz's vehicle mode". Under that same logic, people would have complained that 2007 Bumblebee stole Prowl/Bluestreak's silhouette. (And this coming from someone whose favorite AutoBot is Jazz! I'm just happy Jazz can be referenced in this new movie in some capacity through character design.)

Mirage was my first Transformers toy so I have a special place in my heart for him.

jazz would probably keep me up at night if he was voiced by pete

Dotm just looks so cool honestly he made mirage one of my favorite transformers

I’m going to excited for Chris Mcfeely’s Basics on Mirage when we get close to Rise of the Beasts

I'm liking the film version more and more! I wish they would have kept the smooth face, I don't quite understand why the films like using such small pieces for the face, I get the whole wanting the VFX to look impressive but it makes it a bit too hard to understand their facial expressions it's a real shame

Energon mirage is a decepticon witch disappoints me. But he still cool

Always enjoying watching these videos, the problem is binging them all in one setting and having to wait for more videos.

Why has nobody ever mentioned the fact that Dino killed a human when he threw Hatchet on the highway?

YES!!! FINALLY!!! THE SERIES HAS RETURNED!!!

Thanks for taking my suggestions for the tier names!

Though I've not seen it in a while, I do fondly remember the 2001 show, which may have been the first I saw of Mirage myself.

Man RIP to forged to fight, that aside i think animated and rotb (specifically the trailer design) are my absolute favorite designs, tho i do with the porsche 911 car mode was saved for jazz later, but im not too sure what other vehicle would work as well

Yesss! My dream has come. One of my favorite characters in transformers bro. Thank you Cam!

G1 Mirage actually was able to make holograms, although i'm not sure he ever did in the cartoon. His character bio and first comic appearances that predate the show did give him hologram abilities.

I like the movie version a bit more ... the line up needs that body diversity and the colors are more balanced. Also Rip the toy designers XD Those slender proportions will be a challenge to adapt.

My favorite design would have to be More than Meets the Eye IDW. I also like G1 cartoon, Robots in Disguise, Machine Wars, Alternators, Energon, Witpicky Sparkplugs, IDW main design, Forge to Fight, Earth Wars, Animated, Aligned continuity concept, Online MMO, War for Cybertron trilogy, and Rise of the Beasts.

funny how pretty much all different colored versions of Mirage aren't actually THE Mirage but new characters made just so they could keep the trademark for the name

I had the Generations Mirage.. it is indeed a fine toy

ROTB Mirage looks good.

Great job keeping up 😎 Can you do a video of Elita one. Worst to best?

Yeahh your boy is back

Ironically, the rotb mirage does looks like g1 version, without the red stripes and the shoulder blaster.

Dino should be made his own separate character. He’s so cool looking.

5:40 ooh this toy takes me back to my childhood when I had a red version of this toy

Mirage was my favorite Beast Machines figure.

5:39 Actually that Mirage is a new mold. Plus can swindle combined into the skyboom shield? Most likely not.

Congratulations about Ranking Every Mirage Design

Studio Series Mirage is based off control/concept art. Just like Scourge's Studio Series figure

I like the head of the OG RID version but I also have a heavy bias towards visors n face plates

I love my Mirage. I’m giving rotb a try.

ROTB is my Mirage

I like the G1 version, mainly because I grew up watching G1, the ROTB version is....fine. Hear me out, it's not bad by any means, but in my opinion, they could have made it more G1 accurate with the chest and the head, but that's just me.

My favorite mirage designs are g1, beast machines, energon, dotm, rid 2015, and rotb

I wish in the future transformer series that mirage's alt mode is the Asurada from Future GPX Cyber Formula

RIP FtF, it wasn't the best, but it will certainly be missed.

12:59 No joke, looks like Darkseid if he were a Transformer.

Personally I was super excited when we finally got a brand new Mirage for ROTB. I love this design and also Alternators with the key idea being he’s no longer an F1 car which I do believe him as a Ford GT is a perfect match. I didn’t like Dino as he’s so different from being anything related to the character. Well I loved the G1 but I am looking forward to seeing him in the movie.

13:32 I had that Kre-O build and I remember liking it a lot, but now I’m seeing why I remember leaving it in vehicle mode a lot. Should’ve had a larger build-a-figure like Prime, Bee, or Prowl

I like design as robot like G1 & Transformers: Dark of the Moon and vehicle mode as Blue Dodge Viper Acr with 1 White Shape.

Finally thanks comodin cam and can you do hound, sunstreaker and redalert since you already did sideswipe maybe you do his brothers next, Elita-one, drift, blackout/grindor because grindor looks exactly like blackout, nightbird and scourge because for the new rise of the beasts movie, brawl, fallen next please?.

22:25 he looks like star scream, and I really like that

YEAH, MISSOCPUS SHOUTOUT, WOOHOO!!!

I got a bright idea. As a celebration for rise of the beast. Perhaps a ranking for designs on Beast Wars/Machines characters can be done.

Any G1 design is just alright

Bro as a kid that go bot was my favorite haha

Can we have Sunstreaker, Smokescreen or Waspinator next?

All right now cam do with every elita one design ranked from worst to best next video please?

Do you think you'll do an updated tier list for Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave?

I think in Rise of the Beasts the real controversy with Mirage is that he is voiced by Pete Davison... and that we kinda actually like him.

A *mirage* of designs.

7:25 I had that years ago I lost him after 😢

I categorically disagree that the combine vars mirage is bad and it is NOT ugly and they are similar to each other - from the video game and the combine vars

Do you want my Generations Mirage? I'll have to find him, he's from my childhood too and I might have his box still too but as long as you treasure him forever he's yours. (Well that's if you see this but I'm not going anywhere either, love your videos and glad to be a subscriber.)

Will you rank the Beast Wars character's next please, including more sonic videos

Rotb Mirage looks like his head expanded 150%

I still have my generations Mirage but he doesn't have the reveal the shield sticker anymore.

I didn't know animated mirage was a thing,kinda surprise they aren't many design for mirage,but is make sense who would use a formula car in disguise,this is the first time saw you not ranking marvel comics design,but be real it aren't any different from the cartoon,same with earthrise mirage basically siege design with different car pieces. i really like alternators mirage because is really unique,bayformers design is cool take too,rotb design i wish is not that skinny. 4:56:You should use robot masters version the color is much closer to G1,i remember i was a kid used to have the KO version.

ROTB Mirage: I fall into the Jazz camp on this one. Not militant about it. So I split the difference. I call him Jive. A scout that mentored under Jazz. When he came to Earth, he really stuck onto human familial relationships. Jive sees Jazz as his uncle. (Think Miles Morales and his Uncle Aaron). I like that he can project holograms. This felt like correcting an old mistake. Mirage should have had the holograms and Hound should have invisibility. But some mix up got them switched and they never looked back.

I don't know why, but transformers prime's mirage reminds me a lot to kup

ngl as a child, dotm mirage use to scare tf out of me, idk why but bros design just looked terrifying for some reason LMAO

Movie rendition is our sweet baby boy 💙

Probably do blurr designs next

Armada Mirage is NOT just a repaint of Swindle. They do share some similarities but if you actually look at those toys their heads are different as Mirage has a port in the top of his head to connect to the Skyboom Shield. Swindle has no such connection point. The spoiler on the chest is a completely different shape. One of them also has a waist swivel while the other does not and this is part of the transformation as the legs are completely backwards on one of them. Essentially he's a retool, only the arms and the shoulders were reused, everything else is entirely new tooling. Also, Dark of the Moon Dino should not even count as a Mirage design. Yes I know he was called Mirage in a leaked script for the movie but he's never officially called that in any capacity. Calling him and Que Mirage and Wheeljack is like referring to the Transformers in the 07 movie as Devastator instead of Brawl, Soundwave instead of Frenzy, and Vortex instead of Blackout. Those just aren't their proper names if they were changed before the final release of the movie. Also think about it, Blackout was also going to be Soundwave at some point in an older draft before it was changed to Vortex. There's a chance Dino had multiple other names before it was Mirage cause the script goes through hundreds of different drafts we never get to see before the final product.

I think the design for Noah in the mirage armor should’ve been ranked.

Please do windblade next

0:59 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Don’t hate me I like Dark of the Moon Mirage/Dino

also keep in mind that rotb mirage has a completely different porche alt mode then g1 jazz

Primus i love his rotb design

bumblebee Mirage looks like an Alienware PC

When ROTB trailer came out I thought he was Jazz

Interestingly enough there is an actual miragr in TF energon! But design wise yeah hes ok 14:16 rumored was that the design is a scrapped version of him in TLK

G2 Mirage looks like an ice cream I like RID ‘01’s Mirage it looks cool

'Member Mirage? I 'member him.

I love the Car Robots version (kinda plain though) Alternators looks good but it looks more like sideburn I think the henkei version looks wack (hunch back)

I think of Dino and Mirage as different characters. They look nothing alike and have different names.

Can’t wait for Mirage in ROTB. Personally I love his movie design, but not as much as his Siege design.

Dotm Mirage is my Fav

ROTB mirage reminds me of G1 young hotrod

5:36 Actually, Mirage and Swindle are two different designs, just with the same alt mode.

👍

I really wish the Energon Mirage had kept the Tidal Wave name as it still fit much better, had Prowl be named Mirage and maybe rename Checkpoint into Prowl and maybe rename the black Prowl as Checkpoint.

IDW Mirage kinda reminds me of a Travis Knight design more of a bayverse design aside from the chest.

I'm sorry all I see is jazz when I see ROTB mirage

Yippeeee

The next one is predaking bleeeeez

You missed CyRaptor’s sketch of Mirage

I don’t understand why they didn’t just make Mirage a Ferrari in Rise of the Beasts instead of a Porsche

My Favorite is G1 and Rotb

3:08 watermiragelen

21:35 This Mirage Design should have been the design ROTB should have gone with instead.
