Is it just me or does ROTB Mirage give off RID (2015) Sideswipe vibes with both the head and the ani-authority personality? Dino was cool, him being a Ferrari was a neat change up!
I like how unique Dino was. But my issue was that enable to put him in the movie, he couldn’t use guns and he couldn’t die because it would make Ferrari look bad or something like that.
I actually really liked the Porsche Mirage when I first saw it! And while fans would say that Jazz is a Porsche, I’d argue Jazz would choose anything as long as it jived with him. I could see Jazz as a Ford Mustang (either SN95 or Fox body), or a lower price sports car of a similar cloth.
ROTB Mirage is really growing to be my favorite design for the character. Feels like they're taking a lot of inspiration from that one concept art for Prime.
I love the aligned continuity and bayverse mirage designs. Him standing out so much is nice juxtaposition to his whole thing of being a spy. Also some history on bayverse mirage he was planned to be in age of extinction, but due to the unfortunate passing of Francesco Quinn and not being able to find a new voice actor he was cut from the film.
His final design still looks cool though, apparently he’s going to scan multiple cars throughout the movie to demonstrate a Cybertronian’s ability to change forms to Noah. One of these vehicles will be a F1 car which is a cool call back!
I do not understand why people are so upset about Mirage transforming into a Porsche, claiming that he's "stealing Jazz's vehicle mode". Under that same logic, people would have complained that 2007 Bumblebee stole Prowl/Bluestreak's silhouette. (And this coming from someone whose favorite AutoBot is Jazz! I'm just happy Jazz can be referenced in this new movie in some capacity through character design.)
Wait are you saying that because he has the car as his chest and door windows, dude thats like at least 60% of transformers designs, also people are more so upset that Mirage just isn't Mirage at all, at least with Bay verse Bee he was still that compassionate child friendly character (even if he now brutalized his enemies now) Mirage has the vehicle mode of Jazz, the robot mode of Prime Smokescreen, and the attitude of Hot Rod before his character development, but they slap on the name Mirage for some reason Oh yeah not to mention he literally just stole Hounds ability
cuz mirage stealed literally everything from jazz, not only his vehicle mode. his attitude, personality and even his design shares a lot of shit. plus stealing things from other autobots like the other guy said. unlike bumblebee, who maintained his compassionate, cute personality and they just added the "cool" aspect.
Dino Mirage is unironically my favorite design of him. Maybe because that was my first exposure to this guy. Bummer that they didn't give him much to do.
I'm liking the film version more and more! I wish they would have kept the smooth face, I don't quite understand why the films like using such small pieces for the face, I get the whole wanting the VFX to look impressive but it makes it a bit too hard to understand their facial expressions it's a real shame
Yeah Dino was quite awesome, he was just next to Ironhide and Sideswipe for me. Sad to now know that Cemetery Wind has officially killed him, with help from Lockdown of course.
@@evanfromfnae1227 in AOE, Drift said that they were the only Autobots left on the planet but out of all fairness he forgot about Wheelie and Brains. Ratchet’s death in the film symbolises the death of all the Autobots from movie 1 to 3 so Dino is likely dead.
@@PlatinumKnight-je3vyIsn't Dino card do not have cross sign and his location is unknown?,i mean maybe the autobot just assumed he died because they don't know where he was
funny how pretty much all different colored versions of Mirage aren't actually THE Mirage but new characters made just so they could keep the trademark for the name
G1 Mirage actually was able to make holograms, although i'm not sure he ever did in the cartoon. His character bio and first comic appearances that predate the show did give him hologram abilities.
I like the movie version a bit more ... the line up needs that body diversity and the colors are more balanced. Also Rip the toy designers XD Those slender proportions will be a challenge to adapt.
Personally I was super excited when we finally got a brand new Mirage for ROTB. I love this design and also Alternators with the key idea being he’s no longer an F1 car which I do believe him as a Ford GT is a perfect match. I didn’t like Dino as he’s so different from being anything related to the character. Well I loved the G1 but I am looking forward to seeing him in the movie.
Man RIP to forged to fight, that aside i think animated and rotb (specifically the trailer design) are my absolute favorite designs, tho i do with the porsche 911 car mode was saved for jazz later, but im not too sure what other vehicle would work as well
The vast majority of Studio Series is based off concept art or at least the later figures are. It really doesn’t matter to me though, the upcoming Mirage still looks sick despite the kibble on him. The reasoning being why he has so much is due to Hasbro giving him his Porsche mode more accuracy, that and probably Porsche themselves demanded it?
My favorite design would have to be More than Meets the Eye IDW. I also like G1 cartoon, Robots in Disguise, Machine Wars, Alternators, Energon, Witpicky Sparkplugs, IDW main design, Forge to Fight, Earth Wars, Animated, Aligned continuity concept, Online MMO, War for Cybertron trilogy, and Rise of the Beasts.
I like the G1 version, mainly because I grew up watching G1, the ROTB version is....fine. Hear me out, it's not bad by any means, but in my opinion, they could have made it more G1 accurate with the chest and the head, but that's just me.
13:32 I had that Kre-O build and I remember liking it a lot, but now I’m seeing why I remember leaving it in vehicle mode a lot. Should’ve had a larger build-a-figure like Prime, Bee, or Prowl
Rotb was set in the 90s chris and noah or there nick names sonic and tails show this sonic came out in 1991 and sonic 2 with tails came out and 92 but it has to be 93 or 94🤓 love the vid btw
ROTB Mirage: I fall into the Jazz camp on this one. Not militant about it. So I split the difference. I call him Jive. A scout that mentored under Jazz. When he came to Earth, he really stuck onto human familial relationships. Jive sees Jazz as his uncle. (Think Miles Morales and his Uncle Aaron). I like that he can project holograms. This felt like correcting an old mistake. Mirage should have had the holograms and Hound should have invisibility. But some mix up got them switched and they never looked back.
Do you want my Generations Mirage? I'll have to find him, he's from my childhood too and I might have his box still too but as long as you treasure him forever he's yours. (Well that's if you see this but I'm not going anywhere either, love your videos and glad to be a subscriber.)
I didn't know animated mirage was a thing,kinda surprise they aren't many design for mirage,but is make sense who would use a formula car in disguise,this is the first time saw you not ranking marvel comics design,but be real it aren't any different from the cartoon,same with earthrise mirage basically siege design with different car pieces. i really like alternators mirage because is really unique,bayformers design is cool take too,rotb design i wish is not that skinny. 4:56:You should use robot masters version the color is much closer to G1,i remember i was a kid used to have the KO version.
Finally thanks comodin cam and can you do hound, sunstreaker and redalert since you already did sideswipe maybe you do his brothers next, Elita-one, drift, blackout/grindor because grindor looks exactly like blackout, nightbird and scourge because for the new rise of the beasts movie, brawl, fallen next please?.
Interestingly enough there is an actual miragr in TF energon! But design wise yeah hes ok 14:16 rumored was that the design is a scrapped version of him in TLK
Armada Mirage is NOT just a repaint of Swindle. They do share some similarities but if you actually look at those toys their heads are different as Mirage has a port in the top of his head to connect to the Skyboom Shield. Swindle has no such connection point. The spoiler on the chest is a completely different shape. One of them also has a waist swivel while the other does not and this is part of the transformation as the legs are completely backwards on one of them. Essentially he's a retool, only the arms and the shoulders were reused, everything else is entirely new tooling. Also, Dark of the Moon Dino should not even count as a Mirage design. Yes I know he was called Mirage in a leaked script for the movie but he's never officially called that in any capacity. Calling him and Que Mirage and Wheeljack is like referring to the Transformers in the 07 movie as Devastator instead of Brawl, Soundwave instead of Frenzy, and Vortex instead of Blackout. Those just aren't their proper names if they were changed before the final release of the movie. Also think about it, Blackout was also going to be Soundwave at some point in an older draft before it was changed to Vortex. There's a chance Dino had multiple other names before it was Mirage cause the script goes through hundreds of different drafts we never get to see before the final product.
I really wish the Energon Mirage had kept the Tidal Wave name as it still fit much better, had Prowl be named Mirage and maybe rename Checkpoint into Prowl and maybe rename the black Prowl as Checkpoint.
I love the Car Robots version (kinda plain though) Alternators looks good but it looks more like sideburn I think the henkei version looks wack (hunch back)
I categorically disagree that the combine vars mirage is bad and it is NOT ugly and they are similar to each other - from the video game and the combine vars

its good art work, of course he is going to include it. :)

YES!!! FINALLY!!! THE SERIES HAS RETURNED!!!
Though I've not seen it in a while, I do fondly remember the 2001 show, which may have been the first I saw of Mirage myself.
12:59 No joke, looks like Darkseid if he were a Transformer.
Yesss! My dream has come. One of my favorite characters in transformers bro. Thank you Cam!
I like the movie version a bit more ... the line up needs that body diversity and the colors are more balanced.
Also Rip the toy designers XD
Those slender proportions will be a challenge to adapt.
Why has nobody ever mentioned the fact that Dino killed a human when he threw Hatchet on the highway?

Studio Series Mirage is based off control/concept art. Just like Scourge's Studio Series figure

5:39 Actually that Mirage is a new mold.
Plus can swindle combined into the skyboom shield? Most likely not.
Congratulations about Ranking Every Mirage Design
I love my Mirage. I’m giving rotb a try.
I wish in the future transformer series that mirage's alt mode is the Asurada from Future GPX Cyber Formula
Great job keeping up 😎
Can you do a video of Elita one. Worst to best?
Dino should be made his own separate character.
He’s so cool looking.
I like the G1 version, mainly because I grew up watching G1, the ROTB version is....fine. Hear me out, it's not bad by any means, but in my opinion, they could have made it more G1 accurate with the chest and the head, but that's just me.
My favorite mirage designs are g1, beast machines, energon, dotm, rid 2015, and rotb

I like the head of the OG RID version but I also have a heavy bias towards visors n face plates
Any G1 design is just alright
I think in Rise of the Beasts the real controversy with Mirage is that he is voiced by Pete Davison... and that we kinda actually like him.
ROTB Mirage: I fall into the Jazz camp on this one. Not militant about it. So I split the difference. I call him Jive. A scout that mentored under Jazz. When he came to Earth, he really stuck onto human familial relationships. Jive sees Jazz as his uncle. (Think Miles Morales and his Uncle Aaron).
I like that he can project holograms. This felt like correcting an old mistake. Mirage should have had the holograms and Hound should have invisibility. But some mix up got them switched and they never looked back.
I like design as robot like G1 & Transformers: Dark of the Moon and vehicle mode as Blue Dodge Viper Acr with 1 White Shape.
I got a bright idea. As a celebration for rise of the beast. Perhaps a ranking for designs on Beast Wars/Machines characters can be done.
Do you want my Generations Mirage?
