A rebellious transformer with a upright heart , Mirage is an illusionist who follows in the roulette wheel of such triplex changers like Shatter , and quadruple modifier like Leaserbeak , he can become whatever he want , particularly using hologram technology .
After Mirage kidnaps Noah and preface him to the rest period of the Autobots , their human associate is plainly surprised - after all , he ’d prove to boost the Porsche a few moments before , and it had a mind of its own . The Autobots involve Noah ’s unequaled skills to get The Key , and in exchange for his help , Mirage pop the question to metamorphose into a diverseness of high - end sportscars that he can sell to buyer and make enough money to make up for his disturbed sidekick ’s aesculapian needs .

4Porsche 911 Carrera
Mirage primarily transforms into a 911 Carrera RS 3.8 , only 55 social unit of which were released in 1993 , making it a very rare sportscar . According toPorsche , who formally collaborate with Paramount for the dismissal of the film , five replication cars were built just forTransformers : upgrade of the Beastso that the beloved Porsche would n’t nurture any hold out price . Using the wider soundbox of the 964 Turbo , it was build to be an fantastically aerodynamic vehicle with a top speed of 271 kilometres per hour and took 5.2 instant to accelerate from 0 - 100 km/h with a more striking front spoiler and one - piece rearward wing that was fully adjustable .
When Mirage originally came to Earth as part of Optimus Prime ’s crew in theTransformerscartoon from 1984 , Mirage ’s original form was a Formula-1 racecar .

In the sketch , Mirage was considered elitist even among the Autobots for savour the finer thing in biography , so turning into a Formula-1 car made sense for that reading of the character and is a niceTransformers : hike of the BeastsEaster - eggfor longtime buff of the character .
3Lamborghini Countach
One of the sumptuousness sportscars that Mirage transforms into is a Lamborghini Countach , which does n’t hold as much implication for him as much as it does for two other Autobots . Sideswipe would metamorphose into a distinctly red Lamborghini Countach while his pal Sunstreaker would plow into a yellow version of the same . Sunstreaker is one of severaliconic Transformers characters still missing from the movies16 eld later , but Mirage reach him a nice homage with the nod to this ' 80s and ' 90s authoritative sportscar .
2Ferrari F1/Indy
After he transforms into a Lamborghini he call out , " Ferrari ! " but appears to transform into an Indy / CHAMP racecar from the 1990s . The Ferrari F1 he references is n’t explicitly exhibit on screen , perhaps because of the same licensing issues that occurred inTransformers : Dark of the Moon . Regardless of being able-bodied to show the Ferrari form or not , this model see somewhat unlike from the Indycar conception and color system of the mid ' ninety .
1Dump Truck
The last prominent anatomy that Mirage accept is as a trash dump motortruck that , in the film , looks almost as large as Optimus Prime . Notably , Mirage is most likely just the cab of the truck , with the rest of the fomite being a hologram , but it ’s hard to tell . Other sequence require Mirage averting law enforcement as well as Decepticons make his powers a little clearer because the vehicle he projects look like holograms . give way that Mirage is also able to become power armor for Noah , a gantlet , and other mechanically skillful things , he ’s a more extreme take on the robots in disguise concept than has been pick up in the franchise .
One of the biggestplot hole out inTransformers : cost increase of the Beastsis that shifters are n’t very well explain , so how Mirage is able to transform into so many unlike things does n’t always make gumption in every linguistic context . As he notably severalize Noah , there ’s no one quite like him , and he certainly makes his mark on the fresh franchise continuity . Fans can look forward to see what novel shapes Mirage takes ifTransformers : Rise of the Beastsever gets a sequel .
