As well as my long awaited Waspy repaint - not as bad as it looks in Robot mode with Robot head, and the 3 BM Basics - Mirage good, Scavenger strange, Buzzsaw hmmm!"
Mirage is a basic sized racing car mainly molded in black with grey and yellow detailing. A pair of clear blue exhaust pipes at the back form ball missiles embedded in the yellow spoiler though these will need to be rotated round to fire as the ends are flush against the back of the cab. The spoiler has a pair of missiles molded into the end of each side. The car's rear wheels are hidden under the sides of the car though their position is quite clearly marked. The cab is occupied by a gun. If you pull the gun up the cab can be turned around to reveal the robot's face.
TF: Fold the spoiler back behind the car. Pull the rear sides of the car away and fold out to the side of the car behind the nose. Fold the spoiler halves out to the sides behind these. Pull the nose up folding back so the head is in the space at the back of the car and the nose is on to of the car. Fold the sides of the rear down to form the legs and fold the back wheels underneath them as feet. Fold the spoilers down to serve as arms. Turn at the waist so the holes on the legs are at the back the same side as the front nose. Bend the gun on the back of the robot head forward - you might be able to remove this to put in the hand as a hand weapon.
Robot bends at the ankle, turns at the waist and bends at the base of his neck. There's ball joints at knee, hip, neck, shoulder and elbow. The shoulders shrug up. The forearm weapons, upper arms & legs and waist are all yellow while the chest and forearms are clear blue. The missile launchers are wrist mounted. One of the few BM toys with no lightpipe.
Overall: Decent car, poseable robot. An early BM success story.
It's only after writing this and coming to review the Scavenger from the same pack that i twigged what was going on: Scavenger and Mirage GT have each other's colours. Scavenger came back in the RID vehicon three pack with the green replaced by blue and the orange by white. Mirage GT in white & blue would look like the G1 Car while Scavenger in yellow & black would be a decent bit of construction machinery. Oh dear !
