Kingdom Autobot Mirage is a significant retool of his Siege toy, with newly-molded robot and alternate mode parts as well as a tweaked upper-body transformation to better facilitate an earthen Formula One racecar vehicle mode, though still a different model from his animation design. Mirage’s head, feet, waist, hands, wheels, accessories, and various structural parts are carried over from the Siege mold. His torso transformation joint can work as an ab-crunch. The new deco is missing most of the racing sponsor decals, but the "elf” decal from G1 has been replaced by "orc”.
Unfortunately, this version of Mirage has lost the C.O.M.B.A.T. System ports on his shoulders and has therefore lost the ability to mount his missile launcher on either shoulder. Many have taken to utilizing the shallow 5 mm port to mount the missile launcher, facing up. The 5 mm port on his back is too wide in diameter to attach a compatible accessory. They did add a couple of 3mm studs on the forearms, howeverMuch like the War for Cybertron Trilogy Decepticon Mirage above, Kingdom Mirage has no translucent parts compared to his Siege toys, leading to less chance of his transformation-related tabs breaking. The tradeoff to this is his thighs are no longer cast in white plastic, instead, having only the outer sides painted white with visibly blue inner sides.
Revealed on #TransformersTuesday, Mirage was released with Maximal Grimlock as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection”. Though similar to the Siege "Final Strike Figure Series”, being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection” label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to Amazon and Hasbro Pulse in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers. Initially set for a January 29, 2022 release by TakaraTomy, the 2-pack was delayed to March 2022.
This figure was retooled into Legacy Wreck N’ Rule Collection Leadfoot.
