| 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 from the live-action movie continuity family. He is sometimes referred to as Dino.
Mirage is a little impatient. Armed with a dart rifle, electro-disrupter and the ability to create holograms and turn himself invisible, Mirage is one sneaky robot. When he's not invisible, he can usually be seen with his combat partner, Wheeljack.
Fiction
IDW Dark of the Moon prequel comics
When Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee were being menaced by Decepticons after their small companion Brains, Mirage and Wheeljack arrived for the save. Mirage taunted and injured Sonar while cloaked, and demanded the remaining Decepticons bring it on as he revealed himself. Rising Storm issue 2 Using his invisibility to his advantage, he fought the Decepticons together with Bumblebee and Wheeljack until Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements from NEST. Rising Storm issue 3
Mirage's luck ran out when Shockwave arrived on the scene and blasted him and Wheeljack, leaving them terribly injured. Ratchet could save their lives, but was unsure if they'd end up looking the same after his repairs. Rising Storm issue 4
Dark of the Moon film
- Voice actor: Francesco Quinn (English), Rodrigo Carralero (Latin American Spanish)
 Plot details for Dark of the Moon (film) follow. |
Games
Dark of the Moon video game (Xbox 360/PS3)
- Voice actor: Dave Wittenberg (English)
Merchandise
3D Battle Card Game
- Mirage (2007)
- Card number: 8
- Mirage is a 26-point "Common" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy robot mode. His twin blaster-weapons can be mounted on his arms (their nominal placement) or on his shoulders.
- He uses the same construction as the Barricade, Earth-mode Bumblebee, and Swerve cards. This style is similar to the one used by Cliffjumper, Jazz and Smokescreen.
- Though his card is clearly based on the Alternators Mirage toy, he's not remotely as obvious about it as the Cliffjumper and Smokescreen cards are. While all the parts are in roughly the same place as the Alternators toy, the detailing is very much in line with the movie aesthetic, featuring a lot of shifted panels and extensive mechanical greeblies.
Speed Stars
- Mirage (2011)
- Series: Trans Scan
- Number: 2 of 3
- Mirage is one of three "die-cast" cars in the Trans Scan Series. In car mode he's mostly translucent red plastic and his robot mode is sculpted underneath.
Notes
- Call sheets for Dark of the Moon referred to Dino/Mirage as Enzo, a reference to Enzo Ferrari, presumably before the decision was made to tribute his son Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari.[1] Another early working name for him was Rush.[2]
Foreign names
- Japanese: Mirage (ミラージュ Mirāju)
