BT-18 Clear Mirage REVEALED

Its cool but i dont have the money for it.

you have til september to save up

now im gonna need to hunt down a rodimus to compliment it

i've always wondered why in most pictures like these there is usually something not quite right looking, like his right arm not being spun far enough, or in those silhouette pictures where the legs aren't twisted enough, why can't they just make pose that looks awesome.

Um. I don't think he's going to be sneaking around anywhere though with half his parts still showing up plain as day.

This is cool and all, but I don't think it warrants two news headlines

Damn. Looks awseome, but How can I build my G1 collection when they continually release new Transformers? I might like to have him, but It's getting difficult to keep up with all these expensive Transformers.

Never had this sort of problem when you were on board!

Awesome! That is so bought!

hmm.. most likely all plastic.. not counting kiss players, th

hmm.. most likely all plastic.. not counting kiss players, all the other binaltechs have diecast parts. wonder if mirage will have some metal on him?

Ick, Takara is sucking me dry this summer! LOL, I can't keep up with all my pre-orders anymore!

I agree, this baby looks mighty smooth.

Almost as smooth as the soc hitting back to back to back to back homeruns.

Preordered mine when it first listed at BBTS... glad I did.

This may sound petty, but I would have gotten this if it were all clear.

I dunno, all the opaque parts just ruin it for me.

wow, simply wow!! I love the fact that each Tformer possesses individual powers.. like invisibility, holograms, null rays, teleportation..ect.. ect.. that was the neat and cool added feature that has been embossed in the Transformers mythos since its inception, and for some reason along the way the show producers and cartoon and or story wrtiters have forgotten this fact, even in the current comics you don't see so much emphasis on the individual special powers the transfomrers possess..So to me this toy of mirage in clear is simply marvelous!! It harkens back to the G-1 show and is a great and cool way to reissue a tformer.. i love him anbd I shall definately purchase as soon as i save up enough quan to get him..

The black torso throws it off a bit but it does look good. Honestly they should have done this with Classics Mirage and payed as much attention to the clear parts as they did with the clear Optimus Primal from a while back(that guy is freaky looking on a sunny day)

It's nice, but I'm gonna stick with pretending Mirage is invisible by just taking him out of the picture.

I'm still on the fence on this one. I like the GT mold a lot, but I don't know if I want to pay $80 for a clear alternator.

Oh well, as it's already been said, I have until September.

I love the figure, but it's way too much (at least at BBTS)! I mean, $80? You could have MP Skywarp or Megatron for just $20 more!

Pretty cool, but pretty expensive. Wish it was cheaper...

the prices for collectibles toys are getting completely absurd. it's a nice looking piece but $75.00 is just plain greedy.

wow. this actually looks much prettier than I expected. The small bits of color & trim look great on it.

The white stripes are fine. The black on the torso I can even live with. But why, God, why the blue hands? Why would everything on him be "invisible" but his hands?

Shame, they missed a trick not putting some sort of glitter in the plastic. COuld also have made it glow blue softly.

I'm gonna pass...$80 for a transparent plastic figure, no thanks...

Ohhhh... sounds like a nifty idea to me!

It looks pretty damn cool. I wish TPB would do that with Classics Mirage.

It looks OK, but he's still pretty visible and its all molded from transparent plastic.

...

And this is what gets people all excited?

Regarding the packaging - I hope they keep away from the bubble package like BT-17.

I gotta admit, it's nice as hell. I'll probably pick it up if nothing else is capturing my attention in Sept.

But, as previously mentioned, the blue hands and elbows take a lot a way from the presentation, and $80 is definitely a little excessive.

they should make a masterpiece megatron like that.
like he is being formated

Yes, yes it does. It's awsome looking. I hope it's not uber rare like BT Black Convoy.

Actually, I kinda like the idea! Of course, it would have to look good for me to buy one.
