| The name or term "Mirage" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Mirage (disambiguation). |
Mirage is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
Mirage is what humans call "old money." Before the war, he was a member of affluent Cybertronian society, with his own large estate and high-priced friends. He enjoyed the finer things in life: vintage energon, swank evening events, and turbofox hunts on the grounds. But when the war started, he was forced to choose sides and found himself banded with a group of commoners he didn't really understand.
The other Autobots don't trust Mirage. He feels the war, even after all these millions of years, is beneath him. War is not, after all, how civilized, erudite, beings conduct themselves. He often questions the Autobots' violent means, and not-so-secretly hopes they and the Decepticons can get along. Because of this, he has been labelled by a few others as a Decepticon sympathizer.
He sounds like Bing Crosby.

When Shockwave came to Earth and announced that the Autobot/Decepticon wars were over and that the two factions had been united, Mirage was one of the first to fall in with the new regime. The rest of the Autobots were wary of this development, and so a few (especially Cliffjumper) considered Mirage a traitor.
Mirage quickly realigned himself with the Autobot cause when Shockwave's true plan was revealed, and Cliffjumper seemed to forgive him.
Toys
Generation 1
Generation 2
Mirage was released in 1995 as a black and yellow recolor of the Gobot Double Clutch. He was also planned to be released as a flipchanger, but the Generation 2 line was cancelled to make way for Beast Wars. The unreleased mold was first used in Machine Wars.
Machine Wars
Mirage's form in Machine Wars transforms into an blue and white Formula racer. Like the other Machine Wars basics, the toy is a flipchanger, and his weapons are hidden in his alt mode. Unlike most of the Machine Wars toys, the head looks very similar to his G1 form. This is because the mold was originaly designed as Mirage for Generation 2.
Robot Masters
Mirage's Robot Masters toy (RM-03) is a recolor of the Machine Wars mold, but in his Generation 1 colors.
