	In desperate need of cash, [[Noah Díaz]] participated in a carjacking attempt on a Porsche that his friend [[Reek]] scouted out. Successfully breaking in, Noah realized the car was acting strangely when it locked him inside and played a message from [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|someone]] on the radio. The car soon sped off with Noah stuck inside, leaving him in the middle of a car chase with the police. After throwing them off with his holographic projections, Mirage took Noah to a warehouse and revealed himself, where they soon after met the rest of the Autobots. Mirage transformed and introduced himself to a shocked Noah before the other Autobots arrived, who - especially [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]] - unfortunately did not share his appreciation of Noah. However, when Arcee revealed that the all-important Transwarp Key was currently within a museum, Mirage banked on the idea of using Noah to infiltrate the building and retrieve the Key. Neither the other Autobots nor Noah liked said plan at first, but Mirage managed to convince the human by showing off his transformation abilities and offering to let Noah sell him in the guise of many expensive cars so he could get the money for [[Kris Díaz\|his brother]]'s hospital bills.
