It almost seems garunteed these days that if we get a Mirage or a Drag Strip toy, it will be recoloured into the other character, so Mirage showing up in the CW line is no major surprise.

I quite like this toy, they got the colour scheme just right, although for some reason they have changed his '26' to '62' but its a great looking race car! Very sleek and could pass for a non-transforming toy. The robot mode is a little bit bland, the problem with basing other characters off of toys that were in turn based on the old G1 Scramble City toys is that many of them just had flat bland chests, so Mirage's front body looks a bit bland compared to his other incarnations. I think this mould is the easiest out of all the CW Deluxe toys to transform, you can even do it while 90% of your attention is watching the TV

Overall though, very good and a nice addition to my Mirage collection
