Fiction

3H comics

At some point during Megatron's takeover of Cybertron, the Autobot Peace Marshal Devcon was critically injured and forced to transfer his spark into one of Mirage's drones. Betrayal

Sometime 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 Mirage's drones along with some Scavenger 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 Mirage's drones were destroyed by the Wreckers. Those that weren't were caught in the blast that consumed the facility as the shuttle launched. Departure

Toys

Beast Machines

This toy was repurposed as {{{as}}}.
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!" section of the BotCon 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. We've opted to err on the side of caution and consider it as more of a general description of the drone type rather than the drone type's actual name.
