It's a nice attempt they made for the fig

I just wish he had some sort of paint app.

Looks nice. Can't understand why they didn't just do him clear, though. I don't know about anyone else, but I think I'd be able to easily spot a transparent patch of blue moving around my HQ...

Why?...

Actually I've got to agree. Since they ended up doing him in a mix of clear and solid blue rather than all clear or a mix of clear and clear blue plastic I don't think he's a convincing 'invisible' figure. The only extra detail on him's the rubsign that stands out like a sore thumb. With mine I'm tryimg to figure out a way of putting a white Autobot logo on his leg and some sort of 'frosting' effect in white over most of the areas that are blue on the original. I could handle him being plain if he was more transparent, I just think that with the blue they used he needs a little something else.

$80 and a visit to eBay will achieve all your goals!

Go for a win!

I would've have liked the figure a lot better if it had been done like the Robot Heroes Mirage, except with a translucent white instead of regular white.

But you know what? For a 100% free figure that the fine folks at BotCon/Master Collector don't even need to do for us, I really can't complain. I had fun playing around with the lighting while doing the gallery of this figure so I'll take it for what it is. A free bonus figure thanking me for coming to BotCon 2007. I'd much rather see the free figure be something like this than a figure like Flamewar (Botcon 2005 Arcee repaint) or Tigatron (BotCon 2006) that is a must-have to complete a set or collection. Of course, that would also blow my whole theory about why it's an incredibly great idea to have extremely desirable figures be exclusives at the convention (i.e. to get people to actually go! it's a brilliant marketing strategy regardless if you like it or not).

A great variant for a collection but already have a regular release Classic Mirage.

I thought that too.

Or Dreadwind putting a gun to his head.

'gotchabitch!'

Mirage is hot! I like him way better than the clear Alt version.

I posted some links abot the BotCon toys in a forum some time ago, but whatever, they look way better here!

Now give me TerrorGator
