Looking at the transformation, it becomes increasingly more apparent that these rotb figures are using way more of the budget, while the gamer edition gets not so much

[@j.c7282]

That's makes a lot of sense. But also the gamer figures are pretty good.

[@vicenteabarca5781]

It makes sense that a figure from “The new movie” gets a lot more budget, than one from a dead video game franchise from 10 years ago… i love the game but it’s the truth

[@ellismark2750]

@@vicenteabarca5781 yeah

[@maskai3408]

You idiots don't know what budget means

[@vonclaren1]

​@@maskai3408What does it mean? I thought a per figure budget was assigned limiting the amount of paint, complexity and parts count. Does it in fact work differently to that?

[@saint_meme]

Personally I think that this toy mirage looks way better than how he appears on the movie. I like how you can see car parts on the robot. That's why i prefer 1-3 Bayverse designs

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

Mirage himself in ROTB looks like a guy wearing a robot suit rather than a transformer. He has no robot parts in the movie.

For what they gave us it’s pretty sick, the cgi model would have been almost impossible to do and what they gave us ain’t bad, great review once again 👍

[@LuucT25]

I find it baffling that people sh1t on the AOE/TLK designs for being too complicated, impractical, organic and not having enough kibble; but when they do the same thing but with bright colors and simplified faces, people say they're some of the best designs in the franchise 🤷

It's definitely a figure. I believe it was the best on its budget, but it makes me hopeful that they can get away with something more clean on a MPM (If they do one, it might be awhile anyways), and OSKOs definitely will have my attention. Something about the way the toy transforms feels like it fights you on the transformation.

[@weewoo695]

Is that Megaman X fan i see?

[@xstube9621]

porsche had input also, from what i've read they didn't want the porche logo on the doors to breakdown on transformation

[@KungFuGrievous]

This is truly one of figure of all time

[@MoutyReviews]

I’ve been waiting for this review for so long, this figure is much better than I expected. The only thing that annoys me is the back kibble, but its overall a great figure!

[@myang12003]

Live action transformers transformations always look impossible, that’s why he has kibble.

[@vicenteamaro7369]

Mirage is one of my favorite characters from Rise Of The Beasts

[@ActionJacksonVideos]

I’d be more than happy to pay a similar price to get a non-transforming version of the robot mode that’s completely movie accurate and still in scale with this line. Still, excited for this guy to finally get to shelves later this year!

[@cartoonzentertainment]

So glad they fixed it and gave him actual eyes instead of the concept art visor

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

I think you mean the mouth plate, he seemed to have eyes in the concept/control art.

[@cartoonzentertainment]

@@PlatinumKnight-je3vy Nah the mouth plate was only on the box art, if you look at the OG product shots he had this visor-type eyes and not 2 separate eyes like in the movie but they fixed it before release

[@DrShark-lh6jr]

@@cartoonzentertainmenthe did have eyes in those CG renders, it just looked like a visor because of the earlier concept art head design and paint scheme gave him essentially a big blue unibrow which made it look like a visor.

[@dustinlackey4250]

You’ve really nailed the audible “transforming” sound lol. Also, great video. You can tell since it’s a Porsche that they had to focus more on nailing his alt mode to get the licensing. Bot mode is good, although the feet are atrocious 😬

[@Deceptinerd1995]

Looks hell times better than in the official Hasbro shots! I'll get mine as soon as I can

[@kokushibo1014]

[@thenerdwholovesentertainme1721]

​@@PrimeVsPrimeIs it possible to head swap the heads of both mirage?

[@ZackA-zz9qy]

I love how he puts the door in to the arm piece during transformation and I’ve spent over a 2 hours trying to do it

[@minejack7773]

He looks and transforms so much like a figure in the Alternators line and I love it!!! Hoping for a Yolopark release of him for an accurate robot mode, because that vehicle mode is a beauty and I'd love to have both in my collection for an accurate representation

[@Blougon]

Mirage looks great.

[@TranxEdits]

“Yeah I’m walking to Peru”-Mirage

[@PrimeVsPrime]

[@korosan07]

I care more about the robot mode than to the vehicle mode. So I prefer the mainline one. The lack of colour can be fixed with a few simple custom paints. And if the SS head can fit on the mainline body, then I'll definitely swap it. If not then I hope there's an upgrade kit for it or I'll just 3d print it myself.

[@The-Great-Clock]

That’s cool, although I’m kind of scared of his arm breaking due to it being clear plastic

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Would’ve been nice if they were normal like the rest of him.

Dang that was way faster than I expected! I love how you so casually put mirage in the gallery in yesterdays video lmao

[@LLERRED3]

I need to push back against the “collectors despise clear plastic” statement. Whatever materials lend themselves to a more realistic alt mode are the materials I support. I’m aware of the complaints in regards to durability & longevity but still champion the look of clear /tinted glass & windows. Thanx again for the video Prime.

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Your dynamic posing and blast effect game has really leveled up these last few months, man. I would definitely watch a video on your tips for posing figures of varying complexity. Or even just shorts of dramatic battle scenes and stuff lol

[@Blaze-ex2xk]

Also wheeljack got confirmed for feb of 2024 and i would love to see an actual ss version of stratosphere, apelinq with a new mold and transit

[@livingcheese2910]

Now that they got the license to use Porsche vehicles, I really hope the ss86 Jazz gets a buzzworthy rerelease like Kup. Just with the more accurate 4 instead of 14 on his doors and of course an even more accurate alt mode. Maybe even without the clear plastic since it seems to break on quite many people.

[@AfterthymeGaming]

A wrist swivel? Ankle rocks side side and up and down? An abdominal crunch? While this figure lacks in terms of looks it can do more than the average deluxe figures. This is definitely a pick for me. Wish that the biceps can move more than 90 degree but not like I'm not used to that anyways. This figures got a freaking ✨ abdominal crunch✨. Always wished a Transformers figure to have one and as far as I'm aware only Optimus can do that.

[@Drummer_Ilham]

12:23 (Mirage Transformation Sounds) Best Part ever!!!😊💙🚙🥹

[@travistownsend5207]

This vid was a lifesaver, I completely missed the waist part in the directions and was so confused why the doors wouldn't reach.

[@MagnusTheMan69]

As always, awesome review PrimevsPrime. I love this character so thanks for reviewing the toy.

[@migatron1]

The Porsche mode is as good as you could possibly ask for at this scale. I just wish the waist was more like the main line version in robot mode. In alt mode though the main line looks like a Porsche kit car that started off life as a Lada. If you recreate the scene from the movie, you'll just have to pretend the hologram projector is glitching

[@YungKenKanekiYT]

been looking forward to this review since those in hand images of the figure were released yesterday! i agree that the clear plastic arms are a pain, but im hoping that DNA Design make brand new arms with a clear plastic piece that is removable edit : love that Maximize mention, i almost laughed edit 2 : not the "5 hours later" Spongebob joke, it got a giggle out of me XD

[@ChanHo_LeeSMM]

Omg! This mirage figure is absolutely impressive!! And can't wait to get this figure in this November or December in my country(South Korea)!

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

I think that both him and Primal will be in stores by October time, that’s what it says on Pulse (UK) anyway.

[@ChanHo_LeeSMM]

​@@PlatinumKnight-je3vyOh, that's interesting!

[@GalvatronStudios]

I was wondering when this review would show up

[@kobeskreations6932]

Definitely just getting this for the alt mode and then waiting for the inevitable F1 Mirage for bot mode displaying since a skinny vehicle like that will work out way better for the bot mode’s details, articulation, and proportions.

[@ncrawford5673]

Glad i'm not the only one who had a hard time with the transormation for the legs. Also thank you for going in-depth on the transformation i didn't know about the hips(which is why i couldn't fully transform it)

[@primepurplr780]

for what it is, its rather impressive getting a masterpiece for this would be practically impossible, but i have to admit that vehicle mode is so clean

[@Saiyan1229]

Probably impossible for hastak but never question the black magic of third party companies lol

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Another awesome ROTB SS, been waiting for this one for ages! Love how Mirage’s figure is actually an officially licensed Porsche, so cool. My one complaint is the clear wrists but I guess it’s because the windows are attached at the back of them? Overall, love him!

[@AAPrime_Nation]

[@AAPrime_Nation]

No problem PvP, you are a VERY good reviewer

[@jletterpbpp8259]

I just keep rewatching this review every hour. I just cant get enough!

[@SockyStudios]

I initially hated this Mirage figure upon the release of the cgi model because of it's inaccuracy to the movie model, but I have to say this figure is rapidly growing on me. The kibble and general bulk of the figure might be inaccurate, but I gotta say I really dig the design. In fact, the kibble makes it look almost samurai-esque, and I bet this figure would look good with a sword. Reminds me of that Generations Drift figure from a while back. Might try to pick this one up.

[@neo1754]

True! I think it may be the doors on the legs

[@DarkScorch]

This figure looked really good, especially in that gorgeous vehicle mode! And as always this was another phenomenal review PvP :D

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thank you very much mate! Yeah it’s so cool to see a Porsche transformer 🤩

[@yonderjam]

This is cool. I love how great the paint has been done. The only negative to me is the transparent plastic elbows. Not even the back kibble is that bad to me.

[@rodimusmaximus84]

Yeah but heres the thing when you really compare him to the cgi model hes missing alot of silver and blue paint around his torso shoulders and legs also your user name is really cool

[@yonderjam]

@@rodimusmaximus84 apologies for changing it hours after you posted the comment. A name like my new one fits more than 'SOTU'

Looks really good, definitely going to trim down the tabs at the rear of the roof so the clear plastic is less likely to get damaged when clipping/unclipping that part

On his own, this SS figure is not too bad. But as ROTB Mirage, it's only possible to have a transformable screen accuracy when Unique Toys tackle him.

[@AdamMC2013]

Mirage has to be one of the best transformers in rise of the beasts he has alot of humor and he is a warrior! But overall i love this figure! And that car mode is probably the most accurate I've seen it!

This Studio Series Rise of the Beast Mirage looks cool, but I would like to see Hasbro do the lamborghini car and ferrari race car alt modes that Mirage turned into for a few seconds.

Seeing the transformation now, I think it might actually be possible that the headlights on the shoulders could come from the headlights on the car. I think I’m going to wait for 2.0 versions of a lot of the ROTB characters, as I think a second go would really put them closer to the best they could possibly be.

[@mr.checkmate2856]

That's gonna be a LONG wait, assuming their even doing 2.0s. It'd be nice though.

[@faxmuchine]

Good luck, patriot boy. Hasbro hasn't even done a 2.0 of VW Beetle Bumblebee in Studio Series lmao

[@Tingmanlik_prime]

Since the news about this figure will be reworked, I know this figure would have some significant improvements. The hands are the most worrying part for me, but other than that this is truly a big progress of how transformers figures goes, getting licenses from each company truly shows how this franchise has been expanding. Despite a couple of issues that I have, I still think this is gonna be one of the best figures we can ever have!

[@mr.checkmate2856]

Reworked?

[@yodaedits416]

I own the figure. The clear plastic arms are not to be worried about. The clear plastic rear window however, on mine has cracked due to the stress it needs removing with its weirdly shaped tabs
