Robot Mode: Mirage has a blue helmet surrounding a white face.
He sports an almost fin-like structure running down his back and blue 'pants' that run into white legs which end at his knees.
From there his legs are blue with white frontal patches at the top and bottom of his legs, the sides of his legs are blue with white edging and his tyres on the outer side of each heel.
His shoulders are black with rounded blue pieces of metal with white edging protuding from them, his arms are white but his hands are black.
The front of his torso ever so slightly resembles the face of an elephant, at the center of the top of his torso, he sports a red T-shape with red edging on a blue background and wears a red Autobot symbol in the middle of his chest

Profile: Mirage is not thrilled about being with a bunch of rough-and-tumble freedom fighters like the Autobots.
If he had a choice had be in Monte Carlo, or better yet, back on his beloved Cybertron hunting turbofoxes with his high-priced friends.
Autobot leader Optimus Prime must constantly cajole him into continuing his service with the Autobots, but he feels it may be a losing battle.
Despite his coolness to the cause, Mirage is a surprisingly effective and deadly fighter and an even more effective intelligence gatherer, which is the role he much prefers.

Abilities: Mirage carries a rearmounted electro-disruptor which is able to interfere with the circuitry of an opponent by casting discrete packets of electrical charges at him.
Hence, he never is situated where he seems to be when it is in use and can even use the disrupter to give himself the illusion of a different physical appearance, which he can sustain for up to six minutes.
All of this contributes to his effectiveness as an intelligence agent.
He can also hit a screwhead dead center from 200 yards with his armor-piercing hunting rifle. It shoots liquid fuel-powered darts.

Weaknesses: He's unsure of the Autobots and their cause, and consequently cannot always be fully trusted.
Optimus Prime is well aware of his coolness to the group, but considers him too valuable to let go.
