Mirage
The not street legal playboy of the Autobot team.
The toy, which was incredibly common from what I recall, started out as a Diaclone F-1 Ligier JS11. The transformation was basic as was usual at the time, but a bit fragile.
There was another figure, but it was more or less the same. It was a Japan only release as part of the Farewell Convoy 3 pack.
The file card paints an interesting character. He's mentioned as not only being rich but that his heart isn't fully in the Autobot cause. They even end on how he can't be trusted.
The comic continued this. In the early issues, he tries to befriend Ravage but when Brawn saves him, he equally throws his support to him.
That would be his main trait. The other was him showing up, getting blasted, then getting repaired only to get blasted again. This would keep up until #50 then he got blasted again, this time fatally.
Voiced by Frank Welker, Mirage didn't do a whole lot in the cartoon. Early episodes had him wanting to leave the Earth and get back to Cybertron not matter what but that was dropped early on; after that he was able to make himself invisible. That's about it, although he was scripted to die in the movie but that scene was never made.
