Dino joins an attack on an illegal nuclear plant located in the Middle East along with Bumblebee, Que, and Sideswipe. Driving along the entrance road, he smashes through the barrier, transforms and orders the the guards to get down. The other Autobots continue to the power plant.

Later, when the Dreads attack the Autobots on the highway, Dino transforms and leaps into the air and uses his whips to latch onto the Dread, Hatchet. With some difficulty, he manages to kill Hatchet by pulling over onto a car travelling the other way on the free-way. Sideswipe then tells Dino that he will finish off the other two.

When the Autobots leave Earth, Starscream shoots down the Xantium, which held Dino and the others. However, it is revealed that the Autobots hid in a booster pod that safely fell back to Earth before the Xantium was destroyed.

Dino joins the final battle in Chicago, where he, alongside Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Que, and Ratchet, has been captured by Soundwave, Barricade, and other Decepticons. However, Dino manages to escape the Decepticon's clutches thanks to a distraction by Brains and Wheelie. He later battles several Decepticons with his arm blades and survives the battle.

Dark of the Moon novelization
He assists Sideswipe and Bumblebee in taking out the Dreads, and stows away in the Autobot shuttle along with the rest of his team. They arrive in Chicago to take on the Decepticons, and he helps Sam and Bumblebee fight off Shockwave and his Driller. However, as he's helping Sam, Epps, and the other humans escape from a collapsing building, Starscream shows up and mercilessly rips off his head. His final words upon death were "Run!", a command Sam and the others willingly follow. His death is avenged by Sam who poeticly kills Starscream in a similar way: decapitating him through an explosion from a boom stick.

It is later revealed that Mirage's parts were gathered up by the Decepticons and used by Soundwave to taunt Bumblebee as he was being held captive.

3D Battle Card Game

 * Mirage (2007)


 * Card number: 8
 * Mirage is a 26-point "Common" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy robot mode.  His twin blaster-weapons can be mounted on his arms (their nominal placement) or on his shoulders.


 * He uses the same construction as the Barricade, Earth-mode Bumblebee, and Swerve cards. This style is similar to the one used by Cliffjumper, Jazz and Smokescreen.
