 OAFE - Transformers Alternators: Mirage review
Like most of the early Transformers, he was designed after a specific vehicle; according to our friends over at spencer1984.com, he was a JS-11 from Ligier/Ford - the "JS" designation was a tribute to Guy Ligier's friend Jo Schlesser, who was killed in the 1968 French Grand Prix.
In car form, Mirage is entirely indistinguishable from the real thing: in fact, it looks like the very first one ever sold, which went to ex-Microsoft executive Jon Shirley for $557,500 at auction.
It was a tough decision, but the reason I went for Mirage was asthetics - it was just too cool to pair Wheeljack and Mirage, to have the white car with blue stripes next to the blue car with the white stripes.

 Mirage GT Toy Review
Mirage GT's vehicle mode (not to be confused with the Spychanger Mirage- rather uncreative name reuse, I know), while pretty cool mold-wise, has an absolutely HORRID color scheme.
Mirage GT's robot mode is a little better, since there's more fl and less yellow.
Mirage was one of the best molds of Beast Machines, if not THE best, so it's nice to see his mold get used again.

Mirage's vehicle mode looks sleek and shiny, and noteably does so without an entire coat of blue paint, making him less susceptible to paint scratches than some alternators (Grimlock, I'm looking at you).
Mirage's transformation is easier than many Alternators, and none of the pieces feel as if they will break during transformation.
Of the alternators released this wave, Mirage and Meister are by far the strongest, and Mirage has poor in-store distribution, so snap this toy up.
