I recently found out that the real world sponsor is actually French made cigarettes "Gitanes". Takara/Hasbro changed it to Citanes.

The seller lists it as Citanes but if you look at the picture of the ashtray, it actaully says Gitanes.

Ahhh the eighties - gawd how I miss them!

Back in the days when Mirage wa a chain smoker and fed his habit by advertising! Same too for Jazz - if only everyone realised that the reason he sounded so cool was for his alcohol problem! :P

Takara changed the "Gitanes" on Mirage to "Citanes", as they didn't wish to appear to be pushing cigarettes to children.

This action occurred after they produced Marlboro Wheeljack.

It is a racing sponsor or at least Gitanes was in real life. I suppose Citanes technically was a sponsor in Transformers continuity although they never talk about it.
