Mirage May Not Be Mirage In Transformers DOTM

His name is Mario. Nintendo is already filing...

Hey i this that nelson is right! I am saying this because the autobot in this image does NOT look like Ferrari 458 Italia!!!! If you look at that autobots car hood closely you will find what what i am saying. It looks more like a Audi R8

Just from that brief snippet of the trailer you can tell the exact scene in the novel (which is adapted from the screenplay) where this takes place and guess what?? Yup, it's MIRAGE! Wheeljack, 'Bee and 'Swipe will be in that scene as well. I know, I know...the novel and the final Movie are not often the same even when adapted straight from the screenplay but everything else jives so far. All the other scenes from all the other trailers, sneak-peeks and whatever have meshed so I'm calling BS on this one. Bay and Nelson are screwing with us again (or rather, still)

Mario is too obvious, so they went with something a little more subtle... and the visual changes, well those are non-copyrightable cultural stereotypes!
edit: see forum post for attachment!

I think so much of the misinformation hasn't worked for this film that they're trying to make up for it now.

Still, if he isn't called Mirage, I'll be pissed. I like the idea of an italian accent though - elegant and upper class, just like Mirage.

If he's called Luciano Pavarotti, I quit.

Is this Nelson guy on the DOTM crew?

He's the site administrator for the Shoot for the Edit forums on Bay's Official website, and Bay's right hand man if you will.

that joke is too easy. Indistinct Red Mess is not called Mirage? I am concerned. Mightly so. I may even need to change my pantaloons.

I still can't comprehend how it's Mirage!
I just want to know, why is hasbro screwing up the characters and color schemes.
it just seems like "I'm Bay, I have to be different, instead of a red sideswide, we make him silver, black ironhide, green ratchet, and rainbow devastator!!!"
Did they not learn? The first 2 movies were sub par (yes even 1st movie from a Tf fan point of view, it barely had any transformers in it) , and the second one, we all agree was, monkey doody.
Bringing Shockwave, and finally actual guns (mech tech) for transformers was a good idea, optimus having a trailer again, appealing to fan base. But Mirage, being a Ferrari and RED!!! Every single fan on this forum speculated this could be Hot Rod, it HAS TO BE RIGHT? I mean he has all the checks
- red ...check
- sleek....check
- not crappy GM car and an actual amazing vehicle.... check
- killing optimus and having the wrath of all humanity bestowed upon him....in progress we'll see if he does it in this film.

but back to my point. Logically it's hotrod right? but we have word it's Mirage. So when a movie screws your logic up, it's usually a bad sign.
And what's with his Decepticon look, and threatning design. And now we have word it's not Mirage!!! I smell a trick.

on that note, why is Shockwave's loading of his weapon in his trailer sound exactly like Megatron's firing canon in ROTF 3 v 1 scene. Did they run out of sounds?


I'll have to wait and see, but regarding what an Italian accent is and famous Italian , name , I'd say Mario is better than a dry hump character called Mirage.
