This figure is from 200. As far as I know his only appearance was in the Botcon 2001 exclusive comic. He is a Vehicon General.
FUNCTION; Warrior General
MOTTO; "Eat my dust"
TECH; Mirage is a real trickster and like most practical jokers loves being devious. An experimental high speed weapon created by Megatron to breach the intelligence gap between vehicon generals and their drones. Still not very smart and would be useless without Megatrons supervision. Enjoys playing tricks on fellow vehicons. Can appear out of nowhere to attack Maximals. He is the sneakiest of all the Vehicons. Top speed of 300 miles per mega cycle. Can instantly teleport 200 yards. Weilds plasma mine blaster and dual missile launchers. Unpopular amongst fellow warriors.
TECHSPEC; Strength 5, Rank 5, Intelligence 4, Courage 6, Speed 8, Firepower 7, Endurance 7, Skill 7

He is a good little figure. He has a good colour scheme with translucent plastic. I don't know why they used translucent plastic on so many of these Beast machines toys but in this case it works with Mirage.
His car mode is very sleek and rolls ok. But the rear spoiler can take a while to line up to the rest of the car mode without it splitting apart.
He is quite posable and you can get some nice poses out of him.
The cannon in robot mode can be folded back on to the back of his head for storage.
He has a translucent missiles which you fire by skewering your fingers. The missiles look like hockey sticks.
He is a really good figure and definatly one to get out of the Beast machines line.
It is a shame that he never appeared in the cartoon.
