As Porsche brand is involved in movie trailers and in movie events, I was sure Mirage could have the proper alt mode instead of this kind of fake

I'm pretty sure the accurate and licensed Porsche will be released in the Studio Series line later.

Only the SS toy has a licenced alt mode. Same with Nightbird and Wheeljack which also don't have licensed alt modes.

Here's the SS version of Mirage with the licensed alt mode:

In the interest of completeness, Airazor, Cheetor, Scorponok, and Sandspear also do not have licensed alt-modes.

God's lawyer wasn't available for comment...

That's funny right there.

Here's the video review for origins Jazz

....then again, I'm old and my eyes kinda suck...

Anyone else having that problem?

To my eyes, Mirage has some kind of battle mask on here. He has no discernable mouth, and the eyes look more like a visor with a split in the middle. Could be an early concept face, or could just be the angle and his pronounced blue brow, which made it look like a visor on the SS figure too, and the rest of his face is just washed out in the image.

I love that Airazor and can't wait to get one.

I also want it in Dreadwing, Wedge Shape, Longview, SG Divebomb and even Stiletto colors as it reminds me of that Classics Minicon mold. It has a very similar transformation and parts layout. It's practically Longview colors as it is. It will never happen though.

Speaking of never happening, I want SS Cheetor retooled into TM Tigatron and BW Ravage. It can even use the cheetah head in robot mode as the robot head without being retooled.

I need to get better at repainting figures on my own. Or rather, get up the energy to work on them at all. I just haven't been inspired to lately even with a bunch of ideas and jars of paint collecting dust.

None of these appeal to me, and gee that Mirage really looks choppy. I hope the SS version isn't as bad/noticeable.

Not even Scorponok? At least he's truly new.

I was just never into the aspect of "creatures" transforming thus have no real interest in Beastwars Dinobots, Predicons etc.

Oh well, to each their own.

I have a friend who is a Transformers fan, but appart the Volcanicus combiner, he just can't creatures of any kind.

Does this include the G1 Predacons, Monstercons, Seacons, Dinobots, Trypticon?

Awesome news to see these properly revealed, and to know they are coming soon and are decently priced. i will need both 3 packs and Scorponok. Mirage is looking pretty decent but somewhat janky, and that Bee looks really janky. The SS one is definitely looking far better, and it feels extremely good in hand too.

I am excited for all of these.

For the most part yes, pretty much everything. Now I do have Legends Insecticon Bomshell because I was in need of some smaller Decepticons than the Voyagers/Leaders I have to counter the small Autobots I do have. Also planned to get Kickback but Covid happened and a lot of those sellers dried up.

I also really like the Dinobots as a kid on TV, and even had the G1 bots. I just have no interest in them now really. And believe me these newer versions of Dinobots are superb looking compared to their much older versions, I just don't feel compelled to buy them. Grimlock was my favorite and if I didn't bite on his new figure it's probably not looking good for the rest.

I even like Beastwars TV show a lot, but that never equated into me wanting animals that could turn into robots. Plus it helps me keep within the confines of what to collect without getting out of control, otherwise I'd have so many I wouldn't know what to do with them as I do not have the space to display them all. As it is i still have some boxed up, like Inferno/Grapple, ER Megatron, Elita-1, Er Bluestreak etc. Right now they're in an Ikea Detolph tower with an added shelf in between and they take up three shelves so far, I need to add another shelf but even then it wouldn't solve too much because of what's still boxed up. lol

Only the Generations ones.

The Cyberverse, for some reason, charge a whole fantom 4th deluxe extra for their 3 pack.

I don't trust TrU for their pricing. Plus, they may completely skip these anyway like they did SS44 and the NEST.

I'll make a trip. To check it out.

TrU Laval suck harder than a vacuum cleaner.

Just finished painting up NEST Bonecrusher, I hope they do more of these NEST repaints!

I'd love a NEST Brawl figure, that would be awesome

Sweet!

This may inspire Toyhax to make that same color scheme out of Reprolabels.

Apparently the Target in town is stocking Cybertronian Jazz. A friend just picked him up.
