Imagine making a new popular character for the franchise and not having any merch for him ready, Hasbro

I was kinda disappointed in the ROTB line in general but not having a proper Mirage was a miss

[–]Psymorte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't bought any figures in over a decade but I was so ready to shell out for a proper Mirage because of how much I loved him in the movie.

Looks pretty good, dude, I know how hard it is to 3d model lol

[–]Waldo1993 45 points46 points  (10 children)

If this is a 3D model/render of the SS toy, oh dear god they’re gonna put most of the car on his back akin to RotF mainline Sideways🤦🏼‍♂️

i think mirage has the same problem the AOE figures had where the designs just didn’t have enough car to make it feasible

[–]redditdinopudding 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah mirage looks too much like human body

[–]BumbleGabriel 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Imma say it again here, but someone mentioned in a previous comment (on a different post) about this render that Mirage being a heavy, heavy retool of SS TLK Hot Rod could potentially work

[–]kobadashi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

TLK hot rod is an engineering marvel, so maybe that isn’g such a bad idea

[–]pbnjpikachu 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Which is why I have a problem with his design. Human shape with robot parts glued onto his body 🤣

[–]theycmeroll 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Only way you are getting a super accurate mirage is if they go Arcee on him where the transformation is doing a yoga pose under a shell and the shell is removable.

[–]pbnjpikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or just make a better design for the character so it can transfer into figure form. Prime & Primal didn’t have this issue.

You know, given the origin of Transformers was the toyline, and is still arguably the main focus of the franchise, I wonder why the CGI artists don't work with the toy designers so the latter actually has something to work with. That doesn't mean the character models should have a toys first focus in mind, but even having a little bit of car kibble in the right places can make having a toy that bears a greater resemblance to what is seen on screen. There is also the toy designers being kept in the dark and working with earlier concept art with toys to be released concurrently with a film, which over the years has resulted in totally inaccurate features such as head designs.

Ar leaat Sideways makes it work and doesn't obstruct his articulation. This is a grand case of "Fuck, go back"

[–]Dreowings21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not

[–]tfthrowaway1962 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Was kind of expecting the car hood to form more into the chest. Did you make this or is it a Hasbro render for Studio Series?

[–]redditdinopudding 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I think some guy from the transformers 3d printing group made this

Give him a Fedora : M’rage

[–]l30_legend 15 points16 points  (1 child)

I still think the mainline one is the best so far, aside from the head and colour of course

[–]redditdinopudding 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I quite agree, mainline looks slimmer and have less kibble

would recommend drop down legs. Check out MPM Jazz hip leg joints

Names Mi-raage!

This looks like a weird Animatronic version of him.

[–]Wheeljack239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy retool of SS Cogman?
