Seibertron.com reported here a few weeks ago about the eHobby Exclusive - Binaltech Mirage (BT-18). Now, eHobby has posted detailed pictures of BT Mirage, which pays terrific homage to Mirage’s ability to become invisible.

Mirage BT will utilize the Ford GT mold. The exterior will be clear plastic, while the interior will be dark blue, which will highlight the car’s detail. The white racing stripes will be kept. This figure will be released September, 2007, which follows Black Convoy on the list of exclusive Binaltech figures produced in Japan.

ROBO-VISION STORY

Blazing down to Earth's surface from outer space comes OPTIMUS PRIME. His protoform mode is ideal for covering the vast distances between stars, and armored to survive the catastrophic descent through a planetary atmosphere. When he arrives, however, his first task is to find an appropriate disguise in which to conduct his search for the AllSpark. As his scanning beam sweeps over nearby objects, he sees the world in the deep red that tells him his targeting and scanning systems are active. Then, his gaze settles upon the coolest thing he has ever seen. Yes, this will be his disguise on Earth.

Thanks to Seibertron.com’s Shinobi Render, a blue version of the Transformers Movie Starscream was spotted on AC Toys. This particular version has a resculpted head that is different from Starscream’s. The color scheme appears to be similar to Thundercracker. Could this be Thundercracker? At this time, it is unknown where this figured surfaced from. It could be a fan made toy, however, we do know that additional Movie characters will be released this summer. We’ll keep you posted of the latest developments.
