EDITOR'S OPINION

Mirage one of the few Transformers characters in the G1 series that had a memorable presence in the series (but not in the movie). In the G1 series he was voiced by the current "Voice God" Frank Welker in which in this case Mirage is known to have a fairly Dean Martin-esque voice. While as you can see here Mirage misses Cybertron very much, though don't worry he is also one of the friendlier and most peaceful of the Autobots and Frank captures that rather well.

In Robots in Disguise Mirage is given a very similar design but a not-so similar personality and was voiced by VA Wally Wingert. While his roles in the episodes were relatively minor except for one, he is in the Autobot Team called the Spychangers. Mirage's has a bit more of a loner persona in this show, and while he is not as peaceful as his G1 counterpart he prefers not to cause too much damage while trying to take down the Predacons. Wally Wingert did a rather satisfactory job by bring out this Mirage's loner persona without making him sound too "Generic Brooding".

Neither performance is exactly the brightest spots in their respective VAs careers but both did their respective roles well.

I love the Italian assassin portrayal of Mirage.

This is a problem when the franchise in question has one of its core values as "name slapping", ha ha. 25+ years of name-slapping.

I'm betting that Poke didn't include Francesco because in the MOVIE, it's "Dino", but in the GAME it's "Mirage". Which, since Que is in the Wheeljack compare, it seems like Dino could be in this compare. But it's ultimately up to him.

I didn't count it, only because that's the name Tidal Wave used when he got a convenient new design. (Kind of like how in the Unicron Trilogy Megatron and Galvatron are pretty much the same character despite a somewhat different design.)
