Departure At some point during this time, the Autobot Peace Marshal Devcon was critically injured and forced to transfer his spark into a chase-model drone. Betrayal

Later, after the disappearance of Mirage within a transwarp anomaly, Apelinq's War Journals Last Time on Beast Wars and Beast Machines... Megatron sent a light infantry force of chase-model drones and Demolition Drones to fight alongside the generals Spy Streak, Blastcharge, and Quake, and their respective drones, to guard an old Autobot shuttle from the Wreckers, who wished to use it to get offworld. It was quite the welcoming party. The majority of chase-model drones were destroyed by the Wreckers. Those that weren't were caught in the blast that consumed the facility as the shuttle launched.

Toys

Beast Machines

{{#switch: Mirage's chase-model drones|plural = The {{{toy}}} were repurposed|{{#if:|The toy|This toy}} was repurposed}} as {{{as}}}{{#if:| by {{{by}}}|}}{{#if:| in {{{year}}}|}}.
Part of the first wave of Beast Machines Basics, Mirage transforms into a translucent blue, yellow and silver Cybertronic racer that resembles a heavily modified Formula One car. He includes two pressure-launch missiles that resemble exhaust pipes. In robot mode, the soles of his feet are unfortunately the painted rear wheel covers, and thus are prone to paint chipping. The gun on his head can be removed and held as a pistol.
This mold was also used to make 2001 Robots in Disguise Mirage GT, and was the model for Devcon's appearance in the Wreckers comics.

Notes

  • The "VEHICON ALERT!" feature originally from BotCon: Beyond (and now on the BotCon Online archives) refers to Devcon's Vehicon body-type as a "chase-model drone". [1] Whether or not this descriptor was intended to serve as a proper type designation for Mirage's drones is not known, but it's presently the only official identifier there is to refer to Mirage's drones.
