    If it was crystal I'd be tempted with a yellow wireframe box around him. clear blue doesn't make much sense.

    That's ^ what I thought it was going to be, but I'm cool with the turning-invisable look. But now I will need a clear rectangle to place him in.

    Smoke plastic would be fine, simulate his hazy invisibility from ultimate doom part 3. This just misses the mark completely, unless you are doing a "year of the goat" 3p to go with laser prime and mp sw.

    But he's not.............transparent :inquisiti 

    I get what they mean, but it actually looks even darker and more visible than normal Mirage. If this was clear, I'd be interested :2c:

    meh. translucent dark blue mirage isn't really invisible now is he?

    would have been better to go with clear translucent plastic.

    Eh, no thanks. If I want him teleporting I prefer slipping an orange translucent box over him.

    Who is the other 3P company making a Mirage? Is it MMC? I can't seem to find a thread for that one.

    DO CRASHER, I THOUGHT SHE WAS 1ST. I HOPE WE GET TURBO & LEADER 1. Xtransbots' Turbo is really bad. I bought it & out of every figure I've ever bought (no exaggeration) it's the lowest quality of all. I still semi-like it because it's the only Turbo we'll probably ever get. Still DX9 please complete the top 4 Gobot homages.

    That's now that TFCC thinks:

    Funny they would copy a Botcon recolor instead of the Henkei.
