Wrong mini con there for the Shield as that KO was based on the Star scream Armada Swindle i think was hes name and wasnt part of the three Set. If only you could add another 2 wheels to that mini con it would be a drag strip mini con. Just a idea for future Reference if you got hold of this you could do a big version

I think Ratbat's right, this looks more like Swindle. But there is an oversized KO Mirage, that does combine with Downshift and Dirt Boss, albeit rather loosely. I'd show you, but I'm not sure where Mirage is offhand, and Downshift and Dirt Boss have already been pulled apart for a 'bash.

Actually, Armada Swindle and Armada] Mirage were the same mold with the same exact transformation. I wouldn}t be surprised if you could attack Swindle in place of Mirage in the Shield.

No they weren't. They were very similar, but Swindle (and Zapmaster) had a solid cylindrical head. Mirage's had a slot in the top for linking with Dirt Boss, and a different face. And Mirage's transformation involves rotating his legs at the waist - Swindle's whole torso was one solid piece.
In fact, looking again, this one is Mirage.
