Alright...then why would Hasbro allow SO many uses of the name Mirage for this character? I just don't see why they would allow that to go on for so long...I mean, shouldn't they know more about it than you or anybody else?

But hey, I'll find out when I go to the movie. It doesn't really matter to me what his name is, but this whole situation doesn't feel right at all...

Does the Hasbro packaging of Mirage mention the name Ferrari in any way shape or form? Do we see a Ferrari shield, emblem or logo on the packaging or toy?

I don't hate the name Enzo. But seriously, the toys will all be Mirage regardless of his name in the film (ex: Devastator in movie, Brawl for all merchandise) so who gives a good goddamn.

like the Audi wasnt Sideways?

i dunno. i throw my hands up. this whole argument is silly and to be honest, im not even sure why anybody had to pipe in and say what they said about Mirage not being Mirage. Why stir the waters and rile up the fandom?

No, I'm just saying...*sigh*...is or isn't the red robot that we've been seeing so much of, the ferarri bot in the movie? If he is, then there's really no denying that he's been named Mirage by every other official source but you. You can see why we're skeptical here.

Hey,it Worked for a green boy with a red hat that joined in a blue skined person's quest to save the Digital world from a Fancy Villian Who his Gigas Bite.

And yeah,maybe it be a stage name or somethin'

"Yo Mirage!"
"Call Me-a Enzo!"
"Errmmm... Okay."
