Robots in Disguise

Mirage is one of the elite Spychangers, and is their best marksman. As a Spychanger, he has the ability to drive on almost any surface, and can also cloak himself and thereby render himself invisible. He and his team-mate Ironhide go way back.

Mirage first appeared with his fellow Spychangers in order to stop one of the Predacons' schemes to steal a plutonium power generator.

Later, the team tried to protect a ruby from Predacon theft, but the mission failed - partly because of Mirage's unwillingness to fire at the Predacons and risk hitting a chemical tank. Mirage would not explain himself, and "left" the Spychangers because he felt they should trust his motives, but when his friend Ironhide tried to convince him to come to his senses, he became aware that he was carrying a transmitter created by Gaskunk. Mirage used this to his advantage, and deceptively alienated Ironhide, while at the same time decieving the Predacons that he could be a potential ally. Ultimately, he carried the ruse to its full extent, leading his fellow Spychangers to the laser weapon the Predacons had created. Using hand signals, he helped them to understand his plan, and they successfully destroyed the weapon with help from T-Ai and the Global Space Bridge.
