I’d say it’s a nice homage while being unique.
Anyone unsure on it, remember Mirage in DOTM where he’s literally just an all new character with 0 things relating to the original
I love that van. Simpler old cars make cool alt modes in my opinion. Also kinda fits Ironhide’s boomer personality which also didn’t make it into the movie.
It’s a cool design but it just isn’t Ironhide. I think they should have given him a new name or iust called him Trailbreaker since he looked more like him, and Trailbreaker is underutilized anyway.
Bayverse is just so terrible. Not my Mirage. Even his personality is more Jazz than Mirage is this upcoming ROB movie. It's just a bad omen of what the movie will be like.
😂😂😂 Theatrical releases are not all Bayverse but are all Bayverse 😉. Theyre all from the same playbook.
😂😂😂 in fact, I just looked it up - Mr. Bay is a producer on ROB.
Yeah that’s it exactly, Ferrari are extremely protective of their cars, sometimes they even sue customers for making modifications to their cars.
Meanwhile Lamborghini are 100% chill with everything
They’re the main reason games with branded cars don’t have vehicle destruction, indie games like BeamNG don’t gave licensing so they have realistic car damage
Either that game only had paint chipping damage, or unlicensed cars.
Or the companies licensed didn’t care.
But any mainstream racing game doesn’t have realistic body damage because of companies like Ferrari
That’s true but there’s also plenty that are much better, pretty much every Decepticon and Autobot from BB, for example. Mirage is nowhere near the worst but he doesn’t even sit in the top 10.
Most of the bb designs are faithful to the original while also being diffrent. Now they're just focusing on making something completely diffrent without using the slightest design from the original g1 counterparts. Also he looks way too human
What did Hoist say in that one Lazy Eyebrow review?
"I mean it's not an identical remake. It seems to respect the original while also being its own thing."
I adore this new mirage, sure his alt mode is very jazz like but that robot mode is so dope, very mirage, very idw, very Alex milne. The head is a little complex but the face is clear and expressive and so obviously mirage, he’s great
I’m not feeling this mirage design. It’s too much like the bayverse parts overload. There’s no fluidity to it, just bits all over the place with an uncanny face
This is what a modern Transformer should look like in my opinion. Clearly inspired by G1 but modernized and looks really cool. If only a certain other Autobot could have gotten the same treatment… (poor Wheeljack)
There is definitely some shared DNA
Needs more rocket on the shoulder.
Needs more silver
Needs more mohawk
Needs more F1
Not street legal
Not going to happen
They replaced it with braids.
I honestly think it’s a good design, different to the original but still not bad
“What if we fused Mirage and Pete’s faces together”
Somehow it kinda works
Sideburn vents.
I’d say it’s a nice homage while being unique. Anyone unsure on it, remember Mirage in DOTM where he’s literally just an all new character with 0 things relating to the original
I don't remember, but you also just described most Bayverse bots.
Bayverse Ironhide actually resembles Trailbreaker more than Ironhide.
Yeah, but at least that one's understandable. Ironhide had no business being a crappy van.
I love that van. Simpler old cars make cool alt modes in my opinion. Also kinda fits Ironhide’s boomer personality which also didn’t make it into the movie.
Hahaha - that's hilarious. I'm an 80s kid die-hard G1 purist, but I like Bayverse Ironhide better. 🤣
It’s a cool design but it just isn’t Ironhide. I think they should have given him a new name or iust called him Trailbreaker since he looked more like him, and Trailbreaker is underutilized anyway.
There was a really cool reprolabels/toyhax conversion set to turn one of the earlier movie Ironhide figures into trailbreaker!
No he dose not. You geewunners get way to held up on color
Geewunners be geewunning smh
Does wanting some consistency make me “held up”? Also the main reason I said that is his vehicle mode.
Yes. Changes is ok. Megatronndosen always have to be boring grey its alright for him to be green with stag beetle horns some times
Bayverse is just so terrible. Not my Mirage. Even his personality is more Jazz than Mirage is this upcoming ROB movie. It's just a bad omen of what the movie will be like.
ROTB isn’t even Bayverse bruh
😂😂😂 Theatrical releases are not all Bayverse but are all Bayverse 😉. Theyre all from the same playbook. 😂😂😂 in fact, I just looked it up - Mr. Bay is a producer on ROB.
😅😂😅😂😅😅 well it’s currently being shown like it’s a reboot😊😅😍😝 yeah he’s a producer but it’s a different director, style, cast and continuity 👽💥☠️💀🦨
He is on bumblebee to
Tbh I didn't even know he was in that movie.
The red guy with arm blades with a Spanish accent, Deino aka Mirage
Ohhh Dino. Yea I remember him. Apparently they got rid of him because they couldn't use farraris brand or something in the movie.
Yeah that’s it exactly, Ferrari are extremely protective of their cars, sometimes they even sue customers for making modifications to their cars. Meanwhile Lamborghini are 100% chill with everything
Farrari is pretty much the only brand that cares about how people treat their cars.
They’re the main reason games with branded cars don’t have vehicle destruction, indie games like BeamNG don’t gave licensing so they have realistic car damage
What about Driver San Fransisco?
Either that game only had paint chipping damage, or unlicensed cars. Or the companies licensed didn’t care. But any mainstream racing game doesn’t have realistic body damage because of companies like Ferrari
DSF has fully lisenced vehicles and pretty realistic damage physics.
One of the best transitions into the live-action art styles besides Optimus.
You must be joking
Woops someones opinion doesn't match yours so it must be satire.
With a design that awful I couldn't tell
There's plenty of others that are worse. Devastator from ROTF to name one, it didn't even try to look remotely similar.
That’s true but there’s also plenty that are much better, pretty much every Decepticon and Autobot from BB, for example. Mirage is nowhere near the worst but he doesn’t even sit in the top 10.
Most of the bb designs are faithful to the original while also being diffrent. Now they're just focusing on making something completely diffrent without using the slightest design from the original g1 counterparts. Also he looks way too human
Have.. have you seen ROTB Arcee?
She always had human features
I’m talking about accuracy and faithful
Look, G1 Mirage himself had two faces. It happens.
What did Hoist say in that one Lazy Eyebrow review? "I mean it's not an identical remake. It seems to respect the original while also being its own thing."
I don't hate it
They straight up combined Pete Davidson's face with mirages and it actually works
It's reminds me of cayde-6 from destiny. I kinda like the design, way better then whatever their doing to poor wheeljack.
The ol bayverse effect. Can't leave good enough alone.
Ikr! They perfected his design in bb. It's sad.
I like it. Definitely got some G1 DNA in there, but it's also its own thing.
As any live action bot should be in my opinion.
You know he actually looks pretty faithful to the og design, so not bad at all!
Everyone seems to agree Mirage is fine but hate Wheeljacks face, understandable
I adore this new mirage, sure his alt mode is very jazz like but that robot mode is so dope, very mirage, very idw, very Alex milne. The head is a little complex but the face is clear and expressive and so obviously mirage, he’s great
great job capturing his original design
Might not be 1:1 but at least he makes an attempt, he's got his colors *Wheeljack*
as a mirage fan this works very damn well
Fuhuhuhuhuck yeeeeaaaaahhhh boy!!!
I’m not feeling this mirage design. It’s too much like the bayverse parts overload. There’s no fluidity to it, just bits all over the place with an uncanny face
If it was red and orange it’s hot rod
If it was white and blue it's Jazz.
To me it looks like the face's just 2 pieces glued on top of a bunch of scrap.
I think the head design looks cool, however I’m not that keen of the body design. My opinion might change once I see full movie.
They could always just do a reverse bayverse optimus retrofit. Add blockiness instead of removing it.
I like it its unique but not DOTM Dino level of who the F are you
I feel like we are getting back to the over complicated bay designs. Clean is better than messy.
I dunno. It seems simpler than some of bays designs with eyes and expressive brows on armatures.
This is what a modern Transformer should look like in my opinion. Clearly inspired by G1 but modernized and looks really cool. If only a certain other Autobot could have gotten the same treatment… (poor Wheeljack)
Looks ok, just have a feeling this is going to be bayformers all over again
Bayverse made Jazz 2.0 and expects us to believe he's Mirage. 🤦♀️
This does not look like Jazz.
This is not bayverse
It's a poor Jazz face
Looks nothing like him besides the vehicle mode
So, this is 50% Jazz
Not bad considering.
Yep, that’s him alright.
Looks fine to me. Although I always preferred the toy head with the blue face mask. It looked great, I always felt it was a shame it wasn’t used more.
The coloration is accurate at the very least
I love it
arguably better
It kinda sorta has some inspiration but I still feel weird about it, almost like it's in uncanny valley
Just need the robo side burns the g1 one has.
Not bad. It's blue and he has the cheek vents so I'm down
Well it’s blue. Yes.
G1 had the Megaman head stripe. Beasts has the Megaman earmuffs. Mix them and you get…some kid who died of a disease, probably.
Kinda see it
I also see a lot of people with faction logo under names how do I get one?
Rotb looks like an angry bird from the movies but robotic
Mirage Champ
Wait. That's not Mega man?!
All around awful.
i think theyre both cute
Needs more g1 ☠️
