Japanese online retailer E-Hobby has made a new pre-order page for a new "Binaltech Mirage Clear Version". There are no pictures yet of this item, but it is most likely inspired by Mirage's ability to become invisible in the classic G1 cartoon. View the listing here.

Mirage is my fave Alternator by far.

At least you got him. I missed out on him and he sells for $30 bucks on ebay.

That repaint I could actually tolerate. Seriously... Decepticharge?

"Decepticharge" was actually Dragstrip. I guess Hasbro no longer owns that name.

Something bugs me about this repaint. Binaltechs have diecast metal on them, right? If this Mirage is completely clear or tinted clear, it won't have any metal. So technically, Clear Mirage is an Alternator, right?

My guess is they'll keep the metal to the joints and other vital parts.

*insert genitalia joke here*

With this and Binaltech Black Convoy out, it looks like the Binaltech/Alternators line is finally free of KissPlayers for good.
