Transforms from race car to robot and back!

AUTOBOT: MIRAGE

FUNCTION: SPY
"Who and what I am I hide from the enemy."

MIRAGE is not thrilled about being an Autobot freedom fighter. Prefers hunting turbofoxes on Cybertron with his high-priced friends. Effective fighter, more effective intelligence gatherer. Electrodisrupter can cast illusions altering his physical placement and appearance for up to 6 minutes. Expert marksman with armor-piercing rocket-dart hunting rifle. Unsure of Autobot cause...can't fully be trusted.

Like Jazz, Wheeljack and Smokescreen, Mirage's detailed sticker job was because he was based on an actual racecar: the Ford JS11 car which won three Formula 1 races for Liger Gitanes, which can be seen at http://f1records.narod.ru/teams/ligier.html -- note the very similar coloring job, with only the name noticably changed ("Gitanes" to "Citanes").

Mirage, on the cartoon, mainly used his abovementioned holographic abilities to make himself invisible. Presumably this took a phenomenal amount of power, because he never really used it when he needed to avoid getting shot. Of all the "race cars" in the Autobot lineup, he's the only one that actually was one (a Formula 1 racer) instead of just an expensive sports car.
