This article is about the Robots in Disguise Spychanger marksman. For other Transformers with the name Mirage, see Mirage (disambiguation).



Mirage is one of the elite Spy Changers, 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. Though he's generally a loner who prefers to work alone (which really grinds W.A.R.S.'s gears), he and his team-mate Ironhide go way back.

He should not be confused with Mirage GT.
