Wait! Don't be fooled! It's still the regular old Siege Mirage with a stupid cheap chest! It still embodies everything that's wrong with faux parts!
"BUT IT'S GOT A NEW CHEST!"
Thanks to Chris H for sending in the Kingdom Mirage, and Blundercracker for the video idea!
feel free to compare!

I helped!
I'll never understand why people hate faux parts
@@beramar161 why not have a robot with a car accessory at that point? like Megatron with a hand held rifle accessory, but for everybody
@@TheLazyEyebrow sure, why not
@@beramar161 then what's the point?
Once I realized what was going on I was unable to contain myself. I am now being committed to the local asylum as my family believe I've gone crazy
I had another reaction. I went nigger and was locked inside a crack house in the local ghetto.
Your Kingdom Mirage's script has been given more retooling than the actual figure itself
I like how you took the time to edit over the Siege Mirage parts in order to convey your thoughts on Kingdom Mirage, but in the vehicle comparisons you still call Optimus Bluestreak I don’t know if that was intentional or not but I think it’s really funny
I let that one slide lol
@@TheLazyEyebrow why were some things weird and voice lines edited. i saw this video right when i woke up and it slapped me in the face 🤣
@@xenomorph_636 The joke is the Audio is just the review of the Siege Mirage figure, with the audio edited to reflect changes between the two versions of the mold.
@@TheLazyEyebrow I see, so you can further parody that lazy retool.
The obvious drop-in dialogue elevates this from a lazy reuse to a tongue-in-cheek masterpiece.😆😆😆
My brain hurts but I can't stop smiling.
No it doesn't 🤦
Reminds me of Kup for some reason
Honestly, a lot of the attempts to turn Siege molds into earth versions didn't really work well at hiding the Siege DNA if your name wasn't Sideswipe who basically had an Earth mode already.
They almost all had futuristic Earth modes already. But yeah, lazy engineering, especially at the increase in prices they had started charging.
What I don't get is why they tried to update Mirage's classic 70's F1 design to a modern-ish F1 design, when the old Ligier shape just simply works better for turning it into a robot. Legacy Dragstrip still is the '76/'77 Tyrell and looks and works fine in both modes. Mirage deserved the same treatment in my opinion.
Especially when you consider Mirage is supposed to be old money, and that's exactly the kind of person that would be able to keep and maintain a vintage F1 car, and have the inclination to enjoy one...
I never noticed Mirage was the 26th orc... That's why your reviews are important to me, I'd never pick up on this critical detail without your assistance!
Oh my word, this way of doing a Diet Review is hilarious!
While it does have the faux chest, it’s still an improvement over the siege tooling (besides the lack of shoulder cannon) because the legs aren’t mostly clear plastic, which I heard started breaking quite frequently after having the figure for over a year or so, and it hides the faux chest a lot better. The car mode is also better, but I feel like there wasn’t much contest against the siege one because I really hate the siege tooling’s alt mode
I will always prefer the classics version of this. The transformation is on point, It's insanely articulated and I just love both forms in this guy
Same here. Classics Mirage has been on my shelf for years and I have never been given a reason to replace him. He's just a great update for Mirage.
I just think he scales weirdly with that closed cockpit
This review cemented the fact that as cool as Velocitron Crasher's deco is...I'm already pretty happy with my hard-searched Movie Fracture. She's not as chunky, but the Classics Mirage frame helps her vibe as a speedy bully. And I paid a bit for her. Why shell out again for some "superior" Crasher?
You singlehandedly carried my obsession with transformers this summer. Thank you for getting me into something my dad loved so much.
This clever little vid really does put the "Lazy" in The Lazy Eyebrow 😂😂
But seriously tho, a really smart way of doing a review of a slightly updated version of a toy. Well freaking done, well freaking done indeed!
Also Love how this video is basically what this mirage figure is...
Best part of this 11 MINUTE RANT has to go to the UNNECESSARY BUT QUITE HILARIOUS aggressive talking moments.
Something feels off about his chest, since he's it's more bulkier. And I think a sleeker design could have complimented his characteristics. As he'd be able to move faster, and be less clunky. You know the kind of stuff, that would benefit you in stealth.
In the moment of our greatest need, he returned
I love the commercial transformers transitions, they’re very nice
Just perfect, I laughed the whole way through.
Lol love the almost passive-aggressive back and forth. Added some amusing touch to the retool mini review.
I passed on Kingdom Mirage because I already had the Siege version (and the holo/invisible version from pack with Impactor *twitch translucent plastic twitch*), didn't like the retool taking away his shoulder mount point, or his being an online exclusive packed with another retool/repaint I didn't really care about.
But it doesn't matter as I got the remold as Leadfoot (who came with a more interesting pack mate retool), and will eventually again with Crasher. And honestly I think those two look better than Mirage does.
"A vehicular vehicle"
Ah yes, the floor here is made of floor.
Best way of doing this
7:35 This is people's exact gripe with Siege Crosshairs and why we need a dedicated new mold for the character.
Can I say one thing he's back? It's good to have you back The Lazy Eyebrow. I have been recently adding more to my transformers collection. Have about 22 Decepticons and 2 autobots. I am right now collecting Autobot's
The Lazy Eyebrow: Spamton G Spamton edition
I personally think this mold is good as literally anyone other than mirage. I sold the mirage version some time ago and then got the leadfoot version. I really like the leadfoot version and you can bet your ass I’m gonna get the crasher version.
This video is absolutely spectacular 🤣
I like to think Lazy Eyebrow just forgot almost all of his lines and had to dub them in afterwards instead of doing another take.
I was laughing my ass off when I saw the reason why all that dialogue was dubbed over... it's a parody of lazily retooling Siege figures into Earthrise and Kingdom figures.
You, my bud, deserve an award.
What makes a review diet? Just a little trimmed down? DIABEETUS
I do a LOT less filming
@@TheLazyEyebrow was genuinely curious ty Eyebrow
@@TheLazyEyebrow and in this case a lot less voicing
Not the worst Spamton impression I've heard! :P
A retooled revier for a retooled figure
With the clear plastic on Siege and Amazon being a pain in the ass (and I have Dinobot, don't need Grimlock) makes me glad I got the Netflix version and Crasher; I know she isn't accurate but I'm just glad to have her (and the mold) as a figure.
still don't get why both versions have the front axle not be collapsible to clean up the calf-bulk and improve the articulation outside of budget constraints, but it just boggles my mind that this figure got locked up in Amazon Jail (especially since Hasbro's been all about giving *_all_* the love/attention to G1 since Titans Return at least)
Not only was Mirage retooled but this review was as well lol! Loved the video.
I am giggling so hard right now 😂
ROFL! Nice audio cut ins. It made me laugh the most when you crammed long phrases in short spaces.
So I see you got dk 2 guard 👍
I don't know if that was the intention, but I cackled throughout all the video xD
I handled this figure as I split the 2 pack with a friend who also asked me to do a shoulder missile adapter for it and so I got to directly compare it to my Siege Mirage and it's a tough comparison, but I think ultimately I prefer the Siege version because I can more easily forgive the rampant fauxery when it's not supposed to be an Earthmode to beign with AND he can actually plug the shoulder cannon on his shoulder. Still, I'm glad to have some vesion of the retool via Leadfoot.
This video had me in stitches amazing review
The main reason to get this figure is if you really, really love Mirage, don't have Classics, and/or hate Siege's greebling. It's the epitome of "just okay" in a Transformers toy.
It's why I own him, well mostly because I wanted grimlock, since I had the original GPS nightmare.
@@PhoenixFyre
Fair enough. I'm still waiting for a team of Pretender Monsters that don't suffer from GPS as of this writing.
This is beautiful
I guess we can call this the first ever retooled video review. Gotta say it makes sense for a figure like this. I’m still probably gonna get it though. Great video as always, Lazy Eyebrow.
This is how spamton talks in my mind now
I was having a terrible day until you uploaded and now my day has gotten better
Such a funny review lmao
Revisiting these Mirage reviews back-to-back after getting the G2 Toxitron repaint. It makes total sense that you're not a fan of the non-G1 transformation here when they're throwing it into what's CLEARLY supposed to be a G1 character. That being said... have you ever tried your hand at a Speed Star from Transform Element? It's much more G1-accurate, but man alive, the leaps and bounds it takes to GET there... lol
No actually. Wasn't even aware it was a thing haha
THIS WAS SOOO FUNNY TO ME 😂… my guy you are a champion
I 100% agree with this assessment.
I never liked the Siege nor the Kingdom versions as Mirage. It just feels way off.
However, I will disagree slightly about Leadfoot (but not about Crasher).
I recently managed to get Leadfoot on his own for good price. And while he's transformation isn't a perfect match for his G(1?2) version, it does fit him a hell of a lot better. Even more so if you spin the spoilers back so greebley bits are facing forward.
As for the Siege version, I actually have the Netflix Trilogy version of it and I'm planning to customize it into Slapdash.
The big block in the back reminds me of him and the transformation also fits him better than Mirage.
Script, meet White-out.
I think I agree with you. It’s pretty decent over all, but not much better. Mines connection from faux chest to legs in car more is weak, but that’s a production error with not much to fix it. I did buy an add on to allow him to shoulder mount his guns, and he can completely transform without removing it too. Now my F-1-ish car has a rear bumper. So that’s neat.
the way youre speaking here has made me go crazy im now in a loony bin
Another great review.
I'm getting that Mirage.
Nice reference with Cliffjumper!
I actually doubled back and kept my SIEGE Mirage and now trying to get rid of Kingdom Mirage. I had toyhax labels on both, plus a 3D printed shoulder mount for Kingdom, readying him to replace my Siege one, but the figure never felt right in my hands.
Cool wallet and KeyCase! 🙌
This reminds me of that Futurama episode where Nixon redubbed the GI Zapp lines.
that's exactly what this is referencing haha
Ok, so, Thew's acid storm joke turned into an entire video, feels weird
At 5:42 if you look at how the light is hitting his eyes it looks like his pupils are out the sides of his face…
And here we have *🗣️🗣️K I N G D O M🗣️🗣️* mirage💀
This shows more what is wrong with faux parts like the Siege Seekers the Siekers did it really well I’d say but this felt less like “Yeah I’d get it’d be impossible for you to be well proportioned if you didn’t” and more like “GOTTA BE LIKE G1 GOTTA BE LIKE G1 GOTTA BE LIKE G1!”
You've noticed that the sides of the vehicle become the front of the shins instead of the sides?
Yeah, WFC has a surprising amount of stuff like that in lower quantities that make them *close* to G1 without actually being it.
Like, Earthrise Cliffjumper does have the roof of the car become the chest, but in comparison to the original it's upside down.
I don't have a problem because I don't care for accuracy.
It's been so long since I've seen a new video. Always enjoy your work Sir. Heck ya!
If Hasbro wasn't going to improve the Mirage mold, then Lazy wasn't going to improve his script (that much).
i always forget just how hunchbacked the clasics looked
Hats off to Blundercracker, awesome idea for a video. In many ways I can see how this review was actually a lot of work, paid off too - talk about laugh a minute, more like laugh a second. I'm glad I did the homework assignment you set us. Pay attention Hasbro, this is how you rehash old product LOL.
I was surprised you like it to this degree.
Since this is an Amazon-exclusive along with Beast Grimlock, it might go up the price these days...
You know what's weird? I got Crasher hoping I'd prefer that version of Mirage, but...I didn't entirely care for it. I just got the Siege Mirage and I actually like that one better, the transformation feels more fun to me and less stiff. The alt mode is okayish, but it's at least different enough. I can always get the Toxitron Mirage too, but yeah, I'm glad I got the Siege over the Kingdom.
Once I got what was going on I wheezed. Well kingdom mirage is just a retool of siege mirage, so it makes a lot of sense for the review to just be a retool of the old review
Ok i saw the seige review this morning. Then this one hit my feed and i was like, wait, what? And your slapdash edit is just hilarious 😂
I like the Siege one better. It looks like a futuristic Earth mode to me.
Edit: F-0 would have actually been better for Siege and the whole alien vehicle thing.
I would've loved that. a transfoming sonic phantom or something like it would've been so cool
So good. Lol 😅
What are the rods called you use to hold your flying figures up I’m doing stop motions and I need one lol pls help 😅 also what stop motion or editing app you use
Good review👍
I don't hold a disdain for faux parts generally, but I will admit when the primary part of the vehicle visible in robot mode is 100% fake... I kind of have to ask what the point is. --At least it looks better to me than bots who entire robot mode is random robo-designs who wear vehicle-parts as kibble like many combiner parts,-- but this time I can get behind disliking the faux parts.
Also when faux parts are used, I appreciate it when it's done such that they are close in proximity to the parts they represent (like on _Prime_ First Edition Optimus Prime) and/or the "real" parts are totally hidden. Mirage sadly doesn't do that, but I thought I'd bring it up.
personally I'm just going to pick up the Crasher repaint, since i have the botcon machine wars mirage.
I am guessing that Hasbro Pulse will reissue a brand new mold of the figure where nothing is faux and will be deluxe or voyager quality at deluxe height but charge us an arm and a leg for it somethime in the near future.
man that took me way to long to figure out what was going on haha.
Saving money on voice casting I see.
Friggin' reruns.
wadaya mean this isn't a rerun?
Lazy arguing with Lazy is an interesting take.
Never saw him on a shelf so will never own this version.
In the 86 hot rod video how did you do primes voic3?
Hilarious. 😄👍🏽
I personally have a custom cw mirage with a chest made from an extra mirage front bit
This review seems, familiar
If faux parts bothers u, try buy third party transformers to fix it. Like FanToys mirage
Note to self, do NOT take an edible before watching this video again.
I really do love this mold, but undeniably the G2 Leadfoot and GoBot-inspired Crasher uses of this mold are SUPERIOR in any way possible, still, Mirage looks good (I guess)
I honestly prefer if you made this review as part of an lightning review alongside other figures you didn't want to give a full video for.
At this point, I genuinely oughta bust out the lightning round again. I've got so many figures I'm behind on
A vehicular vehicle….also this is what a schizophrenic hears daily when they don’t take their meds lmao Eyebrow
good job about New Tooling! Was It Worth It? - Diet Stop Motion Review 015 - Kingdom Mirage
Mutch better !
Genius review XD
2:30 Hmmm.. That looks like Optimus, not siege bluestreak.. 🤔😉
yeah, I screwed it up initially, but I wasn't fixing it for this video lol
@@TheLazyEyebrow lol I was just busting your chops man. Mistakes happen. This was a funny one. Still my favorite TF reviewer 😁
I'm glad I chose to rewatch the Siege review before this one, otherwise I would have been fairly confused lol
It amazes me, how the Classics figure of Mirage still holds the title of being the all time greatest Mirage figure, despite Siege and Kingdom offering mediocre figures.
i mean hey it works. and perhaps thats a joke on his name mirage to make it seem the transformation goes one way and it goes a diffrent way
Every issue about him being backwards I take with dragstrip. I despise that toy.
Can you do a review on the legacy scourge figure?
I'd argue this is still an armature, just a shorter one.
yeah, that was a scripting error on my part haha
