I hated mirage in that movie, he was overly annoying and the writers tried way too hard to make him the most likable character, I wish mirage stayed dead. But no they had to revive his ass
@@Brickerbrackone critical thing is that Smokey hesitated to use the Forge of Solus to revive Optimus, thought about taking the matrix for himself…Mirage would’ve revived Optimus without a second thought
@@jwilson2793 What are you talking about? Yeah he said "sure, who WOULDN'T wanna be a Prime", but he was EXTREMELY against the idea of taking the Matrix and becoming the next Prime because it would've meant losing Optimus, even though Optimus himself was telling Smokescreen to do it. He argued with Optimus to no end, then forced the Forge into Optimus' dying hand, hoping it would fix him and save his life, which it did.
@@luisayala7226 yeah early drawings of him also had a face much more like jazz's.. with his g1 visor eyes.. im sure he was intended to be jazz but for whatever reason they couldnt use the name so they changed him to mirage
Jazz was not that juvenile. In fact he was Primes Lieutenant in the first season because he qas one of the more disciplined soldiers. With his only caveat being his affinity for playing loud music.
@@luisayala7226he dont look like jazz.. Jazz had black helmet blue visor what covered his eyes, he got cat looking ears his chest was fromt of car he had more muscular legs and he got blue nd red stripes Rotf mirage looks so skinny compare to g1 jazz. And his face etc i see nothing similarities to jazz like nothing maybe his vehicle mode but robot mode more looks like hot rod not jazz. Jazz is more muscular, and stylish ..mirage looks like bunch of crap
Y'know, the constant inconsistencies in his design from posters, toys, and art makes a lot more sense after seeing him f**king around with his alt-mode
When I saw the trailer, I originally thought it was Jazz because of the gray all over his vehicle form. But when I saw his sphere-shaped head, I instantly recognize him as Mirage.
I liked to think that once a transformer scans a vehicle, they permanently have it in their database. Which is why mirage was able to transform into those vehicles at will. The only reason he did it was because he was being persuasive. Other others don't do that because they don't feel the need to change their vehicles every single conflict.
Funny enough, when you said Mirage paid homage to 3 Autobots at once, at first I thought you were talking about how his alt mode looks like Jazz, his color scheme is like his G1 Self and his hologram powers were like Hound in the G1 Cartoon. I never caught on that the Lamborghini and (off-screen) Ferrari were a reference to G1 Sideswipe and DOTM Mirage/Dino. Good eye. 👍🏻
@@sdm47 Yeah, that’s true, and it was actually originally meant for Mirage by Bob Budianski, but the cartoon creators decided to give it to Hound instead. So Mirage got stuck with just invisibility.
@@tannerprice2018 I don't think Mirage was ever supposed to do holograms; he was just able to make himself appear to be in a different place to where he was. The name Mirage implies the way a hot road or desert can refract light, like his electro-disruptor does.
One thing I didn't like is that the F1 car that Mirage transforms into is from the year 2000, but the film takes place in 1994, and he calls the car a Ferrari when in fact it was a B.A.R.
This Mirage had to be the best autbot in the movies so far. He was incredibly entertaining, heroic, and a great human companion character since he could actually talk.
I feel like, while acting more like Jazz, Mirage still lived up to his name. He had his abilities from G1 along with being able to turn into any vehicle he wants, which would fit right into the type of character he is outside of the movie.
I really hope we see Hound, Brawn and Prowl in the movies soon. I know Brawn was in the beginning of Bumblebee but he’s there for 2 seconds before getting shot and dying
I'd personally rather him being his own character, rather than an amalgamation of multiple, that way, one day we can actually see them on the big screen
Sun streaker that it was a also a cool auto bite not much for words though, but can do the job pretty much anything he was one of the fastest vehicles ever like one of the fastest besides red alert, red alert something else
Mirage should of been jazz. Looked like G1 jazz. But I really enjoyed his character. Still shocked by how well Pete Davidson’s performance. He did a great job
They seriously need to make a gundam movie. I have always loved how much effort they put into designing the transformers and they’ve only gotten better at it. I don’t give a fuck how they do it. But a gundam movie needs to happen. Just don’t fuck up the lore and Wokify it and I think it will be a smash hit. So many of us grew up on the popular franchise that started with the 1979s mobile suit gundam. So it would have to start with that or at least the most popular one. But I think the first one would be the most budget friendly and easy to capitalize off of with later sequels. Literally can’t fuck that up. It would be a miracle if they did and it would say a lot about the producer.
I like that mirage was kind of a break from Bumblebee being the “main” transformer. In a lot of stuff, bumblebee is the one with the human connection. This is a nice break from that, with mirage being the primary human connector
It's actually 6 because his regular alt mode in the movie was jazz's alt mode and if you want to count that Lamborghini alt mode for an homage the three different characters then it would be that for all of them even though the exact version is only sideswipe's altmode
I loved this story I am just a little confused on the story line so we have about 30 years of Bee missing then another Decade before the original Movies, and no introduction to Sector 7
Not too mention his main vehicle mode being a reference to g1 Jazz
Everything about Mirage is a KO Jazz
@thetrutha2177 not really jazz is more mature than mirage
@Blitz4086 Everyone wants Jazz back. He's literally Optimus Prime's right-hand man

Honestly Mirage reminded me a LOT of Prime's Smokescreen
I definitely see that. Smokey's not _so_ much the motormouth, but otherwise, they share quite a few traits.

And Jazz's G1 V-Mode, and Hound's holograms.
G1 Jazz was a Porsche 935 Turbo, ROTB Mirage was a Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS 3.8. Same manufacturer, different models of car
@@redlion-paladin4609 Ok, G1 Jazz's brand.
They look close enough and I'm no car guy.
In g1 it was plan to have hound and mirage to make holograms but they changed mirage to be invisible
Couldn't mirage always do holograms? He could in that Netflix thing.
@@tjproductionsteal7082 idk i think they wanted hound to be more soldier like so they gave mirage holograms and invisibilty for netflix

Yeah, except usually in order for a Transformer to use those other alt modes, they have to have a strong enough T-cog
Exactly how the DS games handled this, they were great for this reason
If he's as powerful as you claimed! He'll make Six Shots look like a Swiss army knife! Wouldn't you agree?

I mean G1 mirage does holograms too in some media

Awesome character awesome design awesome car mode everything about the is awesome
He’s probably the one of the best parts of the movie for me. Can’t wait to see him in the next film.
One thing I didn't like is that the F1 car that Mirage transforms into is from the year 2000, but the film takes place in 1994, and he calls the car a Ferrari when in fact it was a B.A.R.
They could've used the '94 Ferrari model instead
When he mentioned Prime's new rims i was like: Knockout....is that you?
In the theater, the kid and his dad next to me would not stop talking the entire movie and when mirage showed up the dad was like “jazz, nice”
"Mirage paid homage"
word of the day
In the film he also turned into garbage truck
He only turned into the truck, and it was pretty small. He just got a trailer
Thus paying homage to Garagebot?
animated wreck-gar omage obviously
@EmmanuelJames-tq7iv nah he was struggling when pulling the trailer because if it was a hologram he shouldn't be struggling.
@@schlieffenman957 Motherfucker, you mean Wreck-gar, who the fuck is Garagebot?
Yeah I forgot he could turn to any car he wants. his T-cog must be very special
Nah his T-cog is normal his database matrix is configured to espionage and motor head.
@@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 Oh I didn't know that about him
Bro was spitting bars for a second there
🗣️💯🔥🔥
I never liked mirage until this movie I swear I freakin' love him
mirage paid homage is such a good rhyme
"Fresh coat of paint and new personality" You're describing a entirely new character at this point.
I mean based on how insanely under developed he was he basically was.
Seeing Mirage and Bumblebee acting together was quite a treat.🙂
I was worried Pete Davidson wouldve been a self insert, but he really brought out the best of Mirage
Mirage the goat honestly. He made this film…. Tolerable
Afraid not. Horrible film
@@sneakysnu6444damn😭😭 u cn js say u dint like it🌚🌚
I need mirage as my personal autobot
"WORK FRIENDS?! Youve been inside me"
This Mirage had to be the best autbot in the movies so far. He was incredibly entertaining, heroic, and a great human companion character since he could actually talk.
I genuinely was not expecting him to be the main autobot of the story
For those who watched the trailer and thought that was jazz 💀
This movie was great
I mean the movie wasn't bad and I wouldn't say it was good either in my opinion it was okay but I'm going to give it a chance
Aww I miss dino🥺❤
But mirage reminded me of jazz
Having Mirage in the movie was fricken amazing and I can't wait ti see more of him ❤
So this is how mirage paid homage
He also in some way kinda payed omage to jet fire because he gave up his parts it’s just in this case it was for a human and in a less gory way
Mirage? More like Jazz
I feel like, while acting more like Jazz, Mirage still lived up to his name. He had his abilities from G1 along with being able to turn into any vehicle he wants, which would fit right into the type of character he is outside of the movie.
Mirage and nimbus from destiny 2 have the same personality
Wait... actually ya i hate that 😂
So, he's made an homage to Himself, Hound, Jazz, the Countach Brothers, and Bay-Verse Dino? Ok.
He was great. Give us a sequel
He paid hommage to
-Red Alert
- Swipe
- Streaker
- Jazz
N most importantly HIMSELF!!!!
"how mirage paid homage" bars
One of the best automotive of all time
I really hope we see Hound, Brawn and Prowl in the movies soon. I know Brawn was in the beginning of Bumblebee but he’s there for 2 seconds before getting shot and dying
"Mirage payed homage"
Nice rhymes man!
Underrated character!
Mirage pays homage to a alternate version of himself
Me and my friends will never stop calling him Hotshot
Gen 1s are lit
The little blades he has on his arms remind me of sideswipe in the bay films
Mirage paid homage actually rhymes
If the transformations weren’t lackluster in rotb then the countach would’ve been the best thing ever
All we need is a boat and then we have the mirage trifecta
Mirage is just like smokescreen in transformers prime
Tracks snd Raoul's relationship as well
Mirage also turned into one of the Junior Headmaster and Godmaster armor things from Transformers Masterforce.
My headcanon Cliffjumper personality is ROTB Mirage's personality. That's how impactful his character was
I think it’s actually the G1 version of Jazz
Garbage truck is reference to rescue bots salvage
Next to jazz he is my second favorite Autobot
Also he is legit just jazz
Im mote in love with the micheal bay versions😊
When i first saw the car i thought he was jazz, i got hiped for nothin
Imagine they just made this character jazz instead of mirage
HUGE TRANSFORMERS Fan here and I still haven’t watched Rise of the beast yet
Yeah, I remember red alert that was the coolest auto BOT ever yo That’s crazy. That’s so crazy crazy.
I'd personally rather him being his own character, rather than an amalgamation of multiple, that way, one day we can actually see them on the big screen
You forgot to mention at the very end of the movie when he was sporting a very smoke screen look
Precisely felt like JAZZ done right
Air wolf stealth helicopter 😊
Actual we could've have Mirage is G1 alt mode if only the car was road legal
Sun streaker that it was a also a cool auto bite not much for words though, but can do the job pretty much anything he was one of the fastest vehicles ever like one of the fastest besides red alert, red alert something else
I wish more of the Autobot had a personality. Bee was dead for most the movie, Arcee finally came to the big screen but they gave her like 5 lines.
Mirage should of been jazz. Looked like G1 jazz. But I really enjoyed his character. Still shocked by how well Pete Davidson’s performance. He did a great job
J'espère qu'il sortira sous ses 3 versions en figurines.magnificent mecha on compte sur toi
So what other transformer movie was he n
He was Dino in Dark of the Moon
And I think the original Transformers movie, because that movie was a part of the original Transformers series
That's why these movies were better than the original stories
Not to mention he used G1 Hound's holograms.....
He's exactly jazz but without the name
Mirage gave me Deadpool vibes

Bumblebee and Rotb aren’t canon to the Bayverse.
You forgot that breakdown was a Lamborghini
Oh god dont say dino is mirage but he time traveled to the bayverse timeline
NGL when rotb first got a trailer I thought it was jazz
Technically he made homage to 5
he Transformed into a "Truck" also
I personally think he was %100 meant to be Jazz but Hasbro said make it mirage to keep the name license
I've the Dark of The Moon video game, yes Dino is called Mirage in game..
His character was more like Tracks. Thought you were going to say Jazz, Hound and Tracks.
Sunstreaker was a different model of Lamborghini, but point taken
Wish jazz didn’t die in the first transformers, mirage and jazz would go crazy
Don’t forget he also transformed into a garbage truck 💀
I'd love to all their designs in Rise of the Beast absolutely awesome Mirage was badass they all were what am I saying
Does the white garbage truck that he transforms into count as a homage to the white version of Ultra Magnus or was that not intentional
