Seeing that they could make use of him, Mirage was implanted with one Bombshell's cerebro-shell. During the fight between the Decepticons and the Insecicons, Mirage tried to get away from the crossfire but was knocked out unconscious where the Insecticons find him in this state with Shrapnel ready to finish him off but Bombshell stooped him.

Mirage failed to see that he was being watch by Cliffjumper, who was spying to see if the Decepticons moved somewhere else. After a battle with the Decepticons, Mirage left base to perform a plan of his own by framing the Decepticons for stealing Energon Cubes from the Insecticons. However, Mirage was still accused when Cliffjumper believed that he did see them and decided to concealed the information. Mirage was accused of being a traitor to the Autobots when Cliffjumper found a Decepticon base which was an area he was patrolling at before but he didn't see them. His actions immediately after the Transformers' reactivation on Earth in 1984 were heroic ones, working with Hound on a plan to dupe the Decepticons, and using his invisibility powers to sneak aboard the villains' space cruiser as it launched, sabotaging it from within and forcing it to crash back to Earth.īe it as a result of his own desire not to engage in combat or not, Mirage's role in the Autobots' battles on Earth was a distinctly minimal one, leaving him confined to the background on the battlefield, or not present at all. This shaped him into a more gentle character, not especially like the snob suggested by his profile.
#AUTOBOT MIRAGE SERIES#
The animated series opted to present Mirage's desire to return to Cybertron as a genuinely sad longing, rather than as a result of any great dislike of Earth and his unwillingness to fight was portrayed in "More than Meets the Eye" more as a semi-pacifistic nature. Mirage is one of the favorite Autobots of IGN. In the podcast for JHenkei! Deluxe Electro Disruptor Ligier was selected as one of the New Picture Picks. He is armed with a rifle which fires explosive, armor-piercing darts, but the most important piece of his arsenal in his function as a spy is his shoulder-mounted electro-disruptor, which can bend photons to make Mirage invisible, or appear to be where he is not, or even alter his physical appearance, hence his name. It is ironic that, given his unwillingness to fight, Mirage is a superior hand-to-hand combatant, and a skilled sharpshooter, having honed his talents hunting game on Cybertron. He has no lost love for Earth, and would happily return to his old life on Cybertron if he could. When that became unavoidable, Mirage enlisted with the Autobot forces, although he is often unsure about his motivations for doing so, which leaves his fellow Autobots finding it hard to trust him – a problem not helped by the fact that Mirage can rarely hide that he is often unwilling to fight directly, or his contempt for the "commoners" he is now forced to interact with. On Cybertron, he was one of the planet's elite upper class, preferring to spend his days hunting turbo-foxes instead of involving himself in conflict. Some might say that Mirage ( Ligier in Japan, Mistero in Italy, Miragem in Portugal) was created with a silver sparkplug in his mouth. "You can't catch what you can't see."

While the Autobots and Decepticons will both feature in the movie, it is the Predacons and Terracons that will breathe new life into the series, as well as continuing the new style that was introduced with 2018's Bumblebee which was received very well. Transformers: Rise of The Beasts is set in 1994 and being a G1 Optimus Prime back as the focus of the franchise after Bumblebee gave the character a bit of a break. Part of the new news, if you've seen the other movies, you're going to see villains you've never seen before and a lot of elements we've never done before." How do we find a new set of villains and priorities, saving the world is left to the Autobots and in this case the Maximals.


We have exhausted I would say the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons. Lorenzo Bonaventura added, "We wanted to give the audience a lot of new.
